Google Nexus S
The Google Nexus S, like the original Nexus One, isn't intended to awe the tech community with late-breaking technology and huge leaps in, well, anything. Instead, it's intended to represent the best possible experience for the Android operating system at this given moment in time. It's not weighed down by the often heavy interfaces that HTC, Motorola, and Samsung like to use on their Android devices, and so what you're left with is a light installation of Android backed by some pretty compelling hardware.
In 2010, we didn't see many jumps in smartphone technology that would have paved the way for a technological advancement for the Nexus S, so it's no surprise that the specs are quite similar to what was found on the Nexus One of last year. Inside we have the same Samsung 1GHz Hummingbird chip found on the Galaxy S smartphones, supported by 512MB of RAM. The Nexus S sadly lacks expandable storage, but with 16GB of capacity, you should have enough space to grow. We find the typical radios in the Nexus S, like WiFi b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and GSM with T-Mobile UMTS (with no HSPA+). In terms of sensors, the Nexus S has a gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity sensor, light sensor, and Near Field Communications (NFC) sensor (which can be found on the back battery cover). For imaging, there is a 5MP camera on back capable of 720x480 video (a software upgrade should allow for full 720p HD recording), and on the front, there is a VGA camera. Powering the device is a 1500mAh battery.
The display on the Nexus S is quite different than the Nexus One. Not only is it curved (more on that later), but it is larger at 4" (versus 3.7") and it uses Super AMOLED technology instead of AMOLED, providing unparalleled contrast and sharpness. The screen resolution stays the same at WVGA 800x480.
