If I the GSM last winter reviewed nexus S, one of our biggest complaints about was his lack of 4 G connectivity. Fortunately, a CDMA version of Sprint with support for the carrier’s is arrived 4 G WiMax network. With the exception of 4 g as well as Google voice integration is however the nexus S 4 G ($200 with a two year contract from Sprint;) (Price as of 5/15/07) virtually identical to the GSM version. It has the same camera, AMOLED display and a smooth design, but you are still a limit of 16 GB memory as the nexus-S no MicroSD slot.
(Editor’s Note: parts of this report were written by the GSM nexus S review on 12/10/11)
Hardware and design
The nexus-S not exactly leaps and bounds over the nexus one in hardware. Like the nexus one he has a 5 megapixel camera and is of a 1 GHz processor powered. There are however some important differences. On the one hand, the nexus-S has integrated a NFC chip. Essentially, NFC chips can turn your phone into a type of credit card. Ideal if you your phone to a reseller sensor is wave, your purchase immediately placed on your account. See for a detailed explanation of all who can do this primer to NFC.
The nexus S design is undoubtedly the Samsung aesthetics such as the HTC nexus one’s doing. This is both good and bad. In appearance, we the shiny in black nexus keep S much more attractive than the nexus one. It feels very vague in the construction and more plasticky than its counterpart with HTC. 4.9 By 2.5 of 0, measuring 43 inch thick, slightly larger than the nexus one is the telephone. 4.5 Oz is the nexus-S weighing, lighter than his siblings.
The nexus-S sports such as the Samsung Galaxy phones (the living or the epic 4 g) a 4-inch super AMOLED display. The display is also curved (what Google and Samsung are calling for a “outline view”), to more easily fit next to your face. The curve is subtle, but.
Android 2.3, aka ‘ gingerbread ‘ “
In a separate article for an extensive discussion gingerbread’s new features and updates. While the update is not a huge overhaul of the user interface, it has some very useful extensions. Some of the most notable features include the improved software keyboard, NFC support, support for multiple cameras in the camera (although we prefer still Swype) UI and boost performance as a whole. Some subtle tweaks to the interface make Android more polished look. More blacks in the Spice menu icons, and animations make available to the user interface and playful.
Such as the GSM nexus S is the Sprint version free of carrier-added apps and Bloatware–which is always nice.
Google talk integration
Google voice integration is limited. Allows 4 G of their existing cell number as their Google voice number use it simply nexus S. Google voice is installed on the phone, but the preinstalled version offers no additional functionality or features as the app, which can download any Android users from Android market.
Traditionally, when you sign up for Google voice, you are assigned a “Google voice number”, the any of your Telefone–your mobile phone, your phone in the Office, your phone at home, what, be associated with. When someone calls your Google voice number, the call rings on some or all of those phones.
Normally, if Google voice users, that they want to use your existing mobile phone number as your Google voice number, they much pay a $20 porting fee and then a new account with a new number for its mobile phone manufacturing. But Sprint nexus S 4 G owner-in fact, owners of any Sprint phone can-use their existing cell number as their Google voice number. No port-Sprint of a number and your Google voice number are identical.
Camera
The nexus-S has a 5 megapixel camera with Flash and the same resolution as the rest of the Galaxy S packs. As we have mentioned reviews in another Galaxy, the camera is good, but not superb quality. The nexus one had a good, but not mind-blowing camera. Colors in my indoor shots saw a little faded and photos were generally slightly grainy. A feature Samsung and Google see is spine a dedicated shutter button on the phone. It is a small detail, but it really makes a difference when click photos.
The user interface has a variety of settings, you can tune to your liking. It has auto focus, macro and infinity modes, four resolutions on the selection, nine scene settings, three color modes, three quality modes and metering.
Like the Samsung nexus-S a front-facing VGA camera for video calls or self portraits take sports epic 4 G on Sprint. As already mentioned, the gingerbread camera interface adds support for several cameras.
You can as high as 720-by 480-pixels at 30 frames per second shoot video. A video that we shot in the free, saw pretty good, if a bit nervous when a fast moving object passed.
Wireless speeds
The throughput speed performance of the phone was in line with the speeds we have not measured with other Sprint 4 G (WiMAX) phones this year not terribly slowly but how 4 G should be as fast.
We took the nexus S 4 g to three locations in San Francisco, and measured the upload and download speeds of the phone each. We measured by Church and market, at the Moscone Center and at our offices at 2nd and Bryant Street. We measured at each site connection speeds within the building, and are only outside.
For our measurements, the phone clocked an average download speed of 1.4 megabits per second (Mbit / s) and an average upload speed of 3 Mbit / s. Our measurements of outside average the nexus of 2.5 for download speeds and 85 Mbit / s upload speeds.
The bottom line
A solid Android is made of the nexus-S phone even better with Sprint’s 4 G speeds. With the additional bonus of Android gingerbread, NFC support and a gyroscope, certainly also get one of the best phones on Sprint nexus S. We still can’t help but for its lack of expandable memory, tap it but. If you want to plan using your phone as a music player or a lot of pictures to take, is expandable memory in any case in handy.
