The Nexus S : A Short Guide
The Nexus S is Google’s newest handset, a phone that is designed to build upon the firm footing of the splendid Nexus One smartphone and take it one step further. Currently the market is awash with new Android based phones and even the manufacturer of the Nexus S, Samsung, has its own line of Android phones that are quite similar to the search engine giants offering. Though, the Nexus S is something different, a bit like the Nexus One, the S is its own boss, it conforms to its own rules as it was designed, from the ground up, by Google, for Google, to use the Android operating system.
When the Nexus One was released Google decided that it would only offer the handset for sale on their website. This caused a few problems and eventually Google decided to offer it for sale in retail stores. Luckily, realizing their previous mistake, the Nexus S will be made available immediately in retail outlets on a variety of service providers. It is also worthy to point out here that the S comes with the latest version (2.3) of the Android operating system, codenamed Gingerbread.
Googles Nexus S is a great phone to look at, particularly with features such as its enlarged chin, smooth glossy black finish and the unique Contour Display which is basically a concave curved screen. Some may choose to pick faults with the robustness of the build materials as the casing does feel a little thin, but co-currently that also saves a little weight, which helps with such a wide and tall handset.
Internally the Nexus S comes with the once famed Hummingbird 1Ghz central processing unit, coupled with 512MB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that is unfortunately not expandable. This specification results in a super fast smartphone with applications loading and performing functions in lighting speed, and barely any conflicts. On top of this there is a gyroscope, a digital compass and an accelerometer inside the device, plus the standard Bluetooth, WiFi and a five megapixel camera.
So, to put all this into perspective, the Nexus S is an amazing handset, capable of some astonishing abilities and a wide array of features, most of which it can perform as good as every other smartphone and some it can do better than anything. However, it is hard not to compare it to the iPhone 4G and in that particularly hard race it manages to keep up just about but can not quite get its nose ahead. However, if you are looking for the best Android phone available right now, the Nexus S certainly fits the bill.
