Google Nexus S Review

[CoryyJ]

Man I loved this phone back in the day. Flashed so many roms.

This thing was IT back then. It was the DOPE and the SHIT. Well now it's literally shit.

This was my dream phone. Unfortunately I never got it but I did get the Galaxy Nexus and that was my baby. Rooted with custom Roms AND a custom Kernel. Good ol days.

@Brodgeezy In order to get to the task manager help u need to press a button from the 4 ones under the screen...one of them has 4 parallel lines (second from the left side as u look at it)...If u press that, 6 options will appear on your screen. The top one in the middle of the 3 rows is the task manager which is originally called: Manage apps on google nexus S...

@Seby iuga. the wallpaper is called"microbes". The only way I know to get it is by downloading it as an apk file. Go to the Google play store, download apk installer, then go to the web, Google "microbes live wallpaper apk", find a download link, let it download. One the downloads complete, click on the notification that says download is complete, install it, and you have the live wallpaper in your live wallpaper listing.

Just got the Google Nexus S today! So far so good. Oh and I have Jelly Bean!

@OhArv15 it depends on what you wan/t. the optimus 2 x is dual core and is able to use 4G data speeds, while the nexus S is only single core and can only use 3G dataspeeds. if you want to be future-proof, then go with with the optimus 2x, because by the end of this year/early next year, 4G and dual core smartphones will be the standard, and your phone won't be "outdated". but, if you don't care about that kind of stuff and just want something that works decent, then go for the nexus s.

@BlazedHearts I don't know about the price, but the new Nexus Prime is made by Samsung, not HTC

This is a lot better than I expected for an Android device from 5 years ago

[MrHaxx]

Got this phone yesterday. I instantly flashed MIUI and overclocked it to 1.4 GHz and it's now so fucking fast. I definitely recommend this phone.

I have this phone and needs a bigger battery if ur a heavy user like me

[AsimoDante]

Nice phone. Only drawbacks are no hd video recording. And poorly lit capacitive buttons. As for the easily scratchable back cover, a case should do the trick.

Thanks for the detailed review :)
This phone is unlocked by default by google/samsung. but in videos about unboxing/first impressiones etc, everywhere its mentioned 3G with T-Mobile & 2/2.5G with AT&T.
Can you confirm whether it works with any GSM provider worldwide?
I have purchased a Google Nexus S. Its in shipping right now. Wanted to confirm whether it'll work seamlessly with any GSM provider in any part of the world.
Reply is deeply appreciated :)

@Prostreetcrazy
i changed back from HTC Desire HD to Galaxy S, also heard that 2.3 will be out around in the first Q1 next year.
Galaxy S does have better pictures in the light (compared to both nexus S and DHD) but lacks flash.
however I like the 720p mode on the SGS, and the fast calling/text features of TW 3.0

Thanks for the review! Love the animated wallpapers! 07:57 - I`m not too bothered about having a poor camera on my phone. I have nikon d700 to take photos .

[dewalt]

@PhoneArena is this phone still good and can you change the background image. Is it still a nice phone compared to the Samsung galaxy Google.

[blutch]

@BlazedHearts Why dont you wait a couple of weeks and get the nexus prime? the newer google phone generation and compare then?

[ManhLytheawesome]

3 years with this phone, after many drops, two swings across the room, still runs temple runs just fine, and that's all that matter. Only one problem is that its low on ram, it will lagg if you have too many widgets set up, or ram eating apps that must runs all the time.

[Afrosimtric]

Can't wait to get this phone next month!

@Richardhuang70 i had the same question. i think i will get the nexus because of the future android updates but the vodaphone version of nexus s does not have the AMOLED display aswell. Therefore when looking at the nexus S we miss out on the AMOLED, 720P recording and expandable memory. The Expandable memory is not a big deal but i do care about the Amoled and the 720p recording. Other than that they are pretty much the same phones.
