Samsung Nexus S i9020 review
Design
It is the latest Android smartphone from Samsung running on Android v2.3 (Gingerbread). The Samsung Nexus S smartphone from Samsung is a stylish handset which has 4-inch "contour" high quality super AMOLED touchscreen display. Contour display means that the device has a concave display that makes it ergonomic as it will easily fit against head while talking on phone. It will operate on a 1GHz Hummingbird processor. This feature makes it a unique first of its kind device. It covers a standard pixel area in the figures of 480 x 800 pixels. Though one may miss LED notifications on this phone, as many as five home screens may be customized on this handset with widgets, apps and folders. The three touch buttons on the base of the display gives direct access to dial pad, main menu and web browser. The Samsung Nexus S is pretty cool as it has a dashing black color and weighs just 129g. It will be endowed with accelerometer, gyroscope and proximity sensors. The most attracting feature of the smartphone is definitely is its sleek look as it is just 10.9mm wide with wide touchscreen.
Gingerbread OS offers a few improvements that will be welcomed by users who wished usability of Android to improve further. There is new copy and paste feature for selecting individual words rather than the whole text. Also, the keys on virtual keyboard are bigger and further spaced apart for faster text-editing and input. T9 dictionary pops up suggestions in yellow colour, however, Swype feature has been omitted. App manager is hugely improved too and is the highlight of Gingerbread OS."Storage Use" gives idea of app being used and "Battery Use" option tells how much power it consumes."Downloads" option clearly shows the titles of data downloaded on the main menu. There is NFC (Near Field Communication) support on Samsung Nexus S that will allow wireless data transfer via use of "tags" with nearby devices.

Overall
