Google Nexus S

 

With, a curved screen, NFC, Android 2.3 and a beautiful chassis, this is definitely a top-notch smartphone.

Some people have been a bit disappointed with the Google Nexus S, pointing out that with dual core, high resolution smartphones around the corner, it doesn't really push the boat out far enough for what is supposed to be a flagship device, especially...

With an intriguing curved screen and Android 2.3 Gingerbread on board, this phone should have far reaching appeal.

Google Nexus S review

 

Is Android 2.3 and a curved screen enough of an upgrade?

Snappy OS ; Android 2.3 with early future updates ; Stunning AMOLED screen ; Improved battery life ; Cool lock screen animation

Underpowered UI ; Not enough Home screen widgets ; Slight freezing at times ; Light design ; Random phone restarting

UPDATE: Now read our Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Nexus review.

Google Nexus S review

 

The flagship handset for Google Android 2.3 'Gingerbread', Google's Nexus S is largely similar to the Samsung Galaxy S on which it's based. Its 16GB memory can't be expanded, however.

We can see why Google chose the Samsung handset design to show off its Gingerbread 2.3 OS – unlike the many HTC and LG devices, it’s distinctive. Judged against the stunning Desire HD, however, the Google Nexus S is unable to convince us of its supremacy.

Google Nexus S review

 

The latest Android phone is snazzy, sleek and speedy – the best Google phone yet?

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

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

Taking the best of Samsung's Galaxy S, namely its super vivid super AMOLED display, and combining it with the technical know-how of Google, the Nexus S is Google's second 'branded' phone. Crammed with…

Samsung Nexus S review

 

The first phone to ship with Google Android 2.3 (also known as 'Gingerbread') as well as the follow-up to last January's Nexus One, the Samsung Nexus S is a joint effort between Samsung and Google with some impressive features.

When Google and Samsung team up to make a phone to debut the latest and greatest version of Google Android, we bring high expectations. The Samsung Nexus S isn't a disappointment, but it isn't groundbreaking either. While the gyroscope and NFC are...

Google Nexus S

 

The Google Nexus S is the second phone coming from the search giant responsible for creating the Android operating system. We did some operating of our own to take it through its paces.

Android 2.3.4 onboard, manageable size, no customised interface.

Photo and video below par, no microSD card slot.
