Google Nexus S Review

The Google Nexus S was launched in December 2010 so it is one of the latest Android phone models available.  It has the look and feel of the Samsung Galaxy S but at just 1.9cm at its thickest point, the Google Nexus is much slimmer.  It also has subtly placed ports for 3.5mm audio and a USB charging slot, right on the bottom.  The overall appearance is sleek and stylish.

The buttons, though strangely placed, are highly responsive.  The sleek feel of the Google Nexus S is very reminiscent of the Galaxy.  One annoying feature though, is that the message alerts only come through audibly.  There is no LED light alert option.  It is a very durable, practical phone, despite this disadvantage.

The Google Nexus S 4 inch screen is a perfect size for readability and it is also curved to fit your face contours when making a call.

The keyboard works much better than earlier versions, with a smooth trackpad and a keyboard that allows speedy typing.  In addition, the autocorrect function works very well.

Mobile phone reviews indicate that the Google Nexus S’s most disappointing feature is the 5-megapixel camera.  The photos are rather washed out and fuzzy, there is only VGA video recording, and unfortunately, you may have recordings spoiled by notifications, as they are not automatically silenced.  You have to remember to disable the notifications prior to recording.

The Google Nexus S is making mobile phone news by being the first to use Gingerbread, the latest version of the Android operating system.
