Google reveals full Nexus S spec and features

The smartphone comes Nexus S, but so far we have only heard hints of what the full phone specifications. So we get a review and a list of specifications on the same day.

Google has started a list of  Nexus S in his gallery phone with a long list of features and specifications. He also made the life of a website dedicated to the phone.

Here’s the important bits of the spec:

    * Android 2.3
    * Super AMOLED 4″ WVGA display (800 x 480)
    * 1GHz Cortex A8 (Hummingbird)
    * 1500mAH Lithium Ion battery (6 hours talk, 428 hours standby)
    * 512MB RAM
    * 16GB internal memory
    * 5 megapixel camera
    * microUSB 2.0 connection
    * Dimensions: 63 x 123.9 x 10.88 mm
    * Weight: 129 grams

And here’s the full list of features from Google’s Nexus S website



One surprising thing to note is the phone does not have an expansion card slot. So you are limited to the 16GB internal memory for your storage needs.

TechCrunch has had time with the phone and put out a review earlier today. The result is pretty positive with the conclusion being:

    The bottom line is this. If you are an iPhone user this isn’t going to make you switch. If you’re an Android user you will want this phone more than any other. If you’re currently neither, we recommend that you go with the Nexus S. It is better than the iPhone in most ways. What you lose with the slightly less impressive screen and iOS’s slightly slicker user experience you will more than make up for with the Nexus S’s ability to actually make phone calls that don’t drop and Google’s exceptional Navigation and voice input applications. The fact that the phone is unlocked and can be used abroad with other carriers is also a very big plus.

There’s a sign-up page on the Nexus S site so you can be informed when it’s available in your area. Unfortunately there’s no pricing announced yet. The phone gallery page states T-Mobile will be handling contracts in the U.S.
