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
While there are some things we wish Samsung and Google did differently with the Nexus S, at the end of the day, this is, in our opinion, the finest Android device on the market. It’s not the perfect phone, but Google’s latest “pure vision” handset beau...

The Google Nexus One was a game-changer among Android devices, and it set a blueprint for hardware that has persisted throughout 2010. The Nexus S, meanwhile, has a tougher challenge: a balance between hardware and software that, the search giant hope...
When Google and Samsung team up to make a phone to debut the latest and greatest version of Android, we bring high expectations. The Nexus S isn't a disappointment, but it isn't groundbreaking either. While the gyroscope and NFC are welcome additions,...

It seems like every couple of weeks we're saying something along the lines of "x is the best Android smartphone on the market right now." We'd like to tell you differently when it comes to the Nexus S, but the truth is, it really is the best Android devic...
