Google submits a spec proposal and ALL OEMs can bid on the phone or tablet. Google then makes their choice based on those bids. All OEMs get a chance. HTC won one (the first one), Samsung won most of them, Asus got one, and now LG. They all get the chance. But clearly Samsung's engineering, fabrication and manufacturing might plays a role in their bid. It is clear that you have to try awful hard to beat them. BTW, Google will announce the Nexus 10 Monday (Oct 29th) with an awesome Samsung 2560x1600 screen and Samsung superfast Exynos 5. All indications are that Samsung is the OEM for the Nexus 10 tablet for Google. androidcentral.com ASUS makes the Nexus 7 (T3's tablet of the year and the most amazing 7" tablet in both quality and features starting at an incredible $199 given the quality and features - I have it and can attest how awesome and high quality it is) Samsung also makes the Galaxy Nexus (I have it and to me is the perfect pentaband global phone)
