Google's pure Android phone designed for the developer and person who wants the latest and greatest Android OS first should consider the Nexus S 4G. The specs are the same as the Samsung Nexus S with a 4G WiMAX radio on Sprint.
Check out my ZDNet Smartphones and Cell Phones blog for more details on the Nexus S 4G.
The Google Nexus S 4G comes in the traditional solid white box with primary color highlights. There is a glossy image of the device on the front with simple design details on the box.
The retail box includes the Nexus S 4G, battery, USB cable, wired stereo headset, A/C adapter, and some pamphlets.
You can see the primary color scheme in the box with the essential cables and a headset.
The Nexus S 4G fits well in my hand and has the same design as the existing T-Mobile version of the device.
You will find a small VGA front facing camera to the right of the headset speaker.
The back houses a 5 megapixel camera, flash, and speaker opening. It is high gloss plastic, which is what Samsung usually uses.
A 5 megapixel camera with support for 720p recording is found on the upper part of the back.
There is a small volume button on the left side, which is where I prefer to have it on my devices.
The microUSB port, microphone opening, and 3.5mm headset jack are found on the bottom of the Nexus S 4G.
The power button is found on the right side of the device.
