The Super AMOLED screen is the party piece here. It measures in at 4 inches
Which is perfect for watching films on the go. It's also great for reading your favourite websites
With text that's big enough for comfortable use. The design of the Google Nexus S is also a plus point
With the phone measuring just over 10mm at its thickest point. It features a lip at the bottom of the handset

There's nothing to write home about when it comes to the camera on the Google Nexus S. Quality is distinctly average
With images lacking clarity
And colours are also lacking in vibrancy. It's worth looking elsewhere if you want a decent camera phone.
Android 2.3 offers few advantages over Froyo right now
NFC capability currently has limited thirdparty support

The Nexus S has slotted in nicely as the head of the Android family, but it does lack a user-friendly overlay such as HTC Sense. The device is likely to be the premier Android handset for a good chunk of 2011, although it is not an essential purchase ...
Do you like Android? If so, it’s hard to find a better piece of hardware to go with it, unless you want a chic metal casing like the HTC Desire HD. But if you want the joys of Gingerbread now, instead of waiting for the networks and manufacturers to u...

It's the best Android phone on the market in terms of performance and features, but it's not necessarily the best value and build quality could be better. ...
There's no doubting that this is the best Andoid phone available, and the screen looks great. Everything runs at a great speed, and crashes are very rare. Yet it's not quite perfect, and the big question is whether people will choose this over the iPho...

A solid if unspectacular performance from Google - it's a great phone with a very usable interface, but perhaps lacks the wow factor of some of its contemporaries...
