Nexus S Specs, Release Date, and Pricing Officially Revealed
So finally Google/Samsung have officially announced the Nexus S.
It will be released December 16th at all Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile stores in the US and December 20th in the UK. In the States it will cost $199 on a 2 year contract w/ T-Mobile and $529 unlocked without contract. Here are the official specs:
| 4″ WVGA Super AMOLED Display |
| Triband HSPA (No HSPA+) |
| 5.0MP Camera |
| 16GB of Internal Storage |
| 1Ghz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Processor |
| 512mbs of RAM |
| Gyroscope |
| VoIP Support |
| Front Facing Camera |
| Android 2.3 Gingerbread |
Now, is it just me or are these a little too similar to the original Nexus One? Except maybe a slightly larger screen (4.0 instead of 3.7) , Gyroscope (instead of accelerometer) front facing camera…
Guessing this wasn’t meant to really compete with the original Nexus as more of a rehash for users that never bought the original Nexus (since it was discontinued and reserved for developers only). Or perhaps this is a test by Google to see if they can sell a Nexus through physical stores?
Anyone think it’s enough to switch from the Nexus if you already have one?
Nope. Not worth it to me. I’m going to hold out for something with a better screen resolution, and more than 1ghz processor. Just not a big enough step up, and my N1 works just fine. Give me Gingerbread though please!
i wonder how much it would cost after a 2 year upgrade? lol

Ya, I have to agree. All phones from T-Mobile from now on should support HSPA+, that should be a given (even though this isn’t technically a T-Mobile phone, it should have HSPA+ the minute they put the 1700mhz frequency in the phone).
I’m glad i didn’t wait for this phone and got the MyTouchHD.
