The editors didn't like

  • The Samsung Nexus S feels rather fragile
  • And it lacks a memory card slot
  • HSPA+ support
  • And LED notifications. Also
  • We were hoping for more new features over the Nexus One.
  • Screen had some coloring issues
  • UI is still counterintuitive in some cases

  • Does not support TMobile's fast HSPA network
  • No expandable memory
  • No HD video or camera shutter button
  • Plastic body won't suit all

  • No microSD slot
  • No pre-installed video chat software
  • No social network account syncing
  • Memory not expandable
  • No HD video recording

  • Potential 4G issues
  • Photo and video below par
  • No microSD card slot.

  • Android 2.3.4 onboard, manageable size, no customised interface,
  • Photo and video below par, no microSD card slot.
  • If you’re looking for a plain and simple Android experience, the Nexus S is the route to go. It offers Android Gingerbread without all the bells and whistles of a customised interface offered on other manufacturers' phones. It’s not a basic phone in an...

  • Abstract:  Google first presented the Nexus series both in order to ease application programming to its own development teams and in order to sell mobile phones directly, without the need for outsourcing devices to mobile providers. The main characteristics of th...

  • Abstract:  At Rs. 29,590, the Nexus S is slightly overpriced in a price segment that is becoming ever increasingly populous and competitive. While we appreciate our first look at a pure Android system with Gingerbread, the device itself was underwhelming for a n...

  • The Samsung Google Nexus S I9020 is without a doubt an attractive Smartphone, which has a good price to performance ratio thanks to the recent fall in its retail price. The concave design gives the Nexus S a unique look, but the hardware under the cove...

  • Very fast, unadulterated Android experience, Updates directly from Google, Amazing display, Good battery life and call quality
  • No expandable memory, Potential 4G issues
  • Call quality was quite good on the Nexus S 4G. Callers rated it an 8/10, saying that we sounded slightly distant but not finding much to complain about. On our end it was plenty loud with a good voice reproduction even as the other party was driving th...

  • If you’re in the market for an unlocked Android phone that is guaranteed to get first dibs on any Google updates, this is it. Samsung has typically been pretty bad with keeping up with Android versions, but this is a Nexus phone. The factory unlocked n...

  • Contour Super AMOLED display, excellent functionality
  • Memory not expandable, No HD video recording, no dedicated camera key
  • One of the best Android phone in the market? Currently, yes. Why? Because of the excellent hardware and software features. The Samsung Google Nexus S is not a perfect phone, but what makes it extra special is the fact the Android-owner Google is behi...
