Google Nexus S review

 

Almost a full year ago, Google offered up its vision of what a mobile phone experience should be. We're not talking about just the phone itself, funny enough, but also how consumers purchase devices, choose their carriers and sign up for service. Jump...

While there are some things we wish Samsung and Google did differently with the Nexus S, at the end of the day, this is, in our opinion, the finest Android device on the market. It’s not the perfect phone, but Google’s latest “pure vision” handset...

Review: Google Nexus S review

 

The Google Nexus S, built by Samsung, is Google's latest flagship Android smartphone, and the first to run the new Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" operating system that was recently announced.

Cool curved display, good camera, updated UI, great reception, no bloatware

No HD video or camera shutter button, plastic body won't suit all

At the end of the day, though, the Nexus S still looks very much like a dozen other touchscreen slab smartphones. Sure, it's nice looking, and solidly built, but the design isn't inspired enough for the flagship device that is supposed to herald the...

The Android 2.3 operating system and stunning design of the Google Nexus S are the standout features available on this smartphone. This device offers what most other phones offer, but we were disappointed with the 5MP camera, short battery life and the...

This smartphone runs on the Android 2.3 operating system, also known as Gingerbread

There is no 4G technology available on the Google Nexus S

This smartphone offers all the advanced features you need, as long as you don’t care about having 4G technology.

Though the styling tends more to flashy than chic, this is a highly desirable Android phone

Last year, Google produced its own Android phone, the Nexus One. It was a neat handset, made for the search giant by HTC, but because it was mostly sold direct by Google it never became mass-market (H

You have to have been living under a rock not to have come across the Android operating system. It has been gaining ground as a...

The Google Nexus S is not to everyone’s taste. Its unskinned version of Android lacks the bells and whistles of smartphones from the likes of HTC and Samsung. But it does run the latest version of the increasingly popular Android operating system, has...

It's a phone from the future, available now

Google Nexus S review

 

The announcement of the Samsung-manufactured Google Nexus S in early December took almost everyone in the technology world by surprise, as Google had previously stated that it would not produce any more self-branded smartphones.

Excellent glare-resistant screen; outstanding battery life; improved messaging input; fast operating

No micro-SD slot; pinch to zoom not fully enabled

The Nexus S has slotted in nicely as the head of the Android family, but it does lack a user-friendly overlay such as HTC Sense. The device is likely to be the premier Android handset for a good chunk of 2011, although it is not an essential purchase...

The Nexus S is the second phone from Google, who have turned to Samsung for support this time round. Unlike its predecessor, the Nexus S promises to revolutionize the smartphone, and gets to introduce Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) to the world.

In my opinion the Google Nexus S is the best Android phone yet. It may need some tweaks here and there, but thanks to its top-notch hardware, excellent design and Android 2.3 operating system, it has exceeded our expectations.

We take a look at the latest installment of Google's Nexus line of self-branded devices

Stunning screen ; Latest and greatest Android 2.3 Ginerbread software ; NFC communication

Not an unbelievable update to the OS ; No HSPA+ support

While not groundbreaking, the Nexus S does bring some new talking points to the table, and with the addition of Gingerbread, takes its place at the head of the Android pack.

Gooo.... For Google Nexus S

 

Gooo.... For Google Nexus S

Cute Design, Great Resolut ion

Sound Reception (Sometimes )

I must say Google has lived upto its reputation, launching a phone that can compete other high end phones is itself appreciated. Though it is provided in india by Samsung but base is solid. I am very happy as i bought this. Last but not the least All...
