Google gets official with Nexus S smartphone
Google has officially announced the Nexus S smartphone, which will be the "lead device" for the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) platform.
HTC helped out with the Nexus One smartphone, but this time Samsung has been called in to co-develop the Nexus S, which sports the following features:
- 4-inch contour display
- 1GHz Hummingbird processor
- Front and rear facing cameras
- 16GB of internal memory
- NFC hardware support
- Internet (VoIP/SIP) calling
- Improved copy/paste functionality
- Gyroscope sensor support
Surely more will be discovered before the December 16 launch date when the Nexus S will be available for purchase either as an unlocked device or subsidized with a T-Mobile service agreement at Best Buy and Best Buy mobile stores. The Nexus S will also pop across the pond on December 20, set to roll out at Carphone Warehouse and Best Buy locations in the United Kingdom. Pricing has not been announced yet.
