Google has announced the latest version of its Android Mobile OS, Android 2.3 a.k.a ‘Gingerbread’ and also unveils ‘Nexus S’.
The latest mobile Nexus S is manufactured by Samsung Electronics to deliver most ‘pure Google experience‘. Google ‘Nexus S‘ is the successor of Nexus One (HTC Passion) which was released on Jan 5 earlier in 2010. The Nexus S is coming with most advanced hardware, sporting a 4-inch Super AMOLED display (235 ppi, Capacitive touch sensor and Anti-fingerprint display coating).
Specifications: The display is also curved (what Google and Samsung is calling a “Contour Display”) to fit comfortably next to your face. The Nexus S is powered by a 1GHz Cortex A8 processor (Hummingbird) and comes with 16GB of on-board flash memory. It has a 5-megapixel auto focus camera with flash as well as a front-facing VGA camera for video calls. Other adjustments of Nexus S are HSDPA upto 7.2Mbps, HSUPA upto 5.76Mbps, Wifi, WiFi hotspot upto 6 devices, Bluetooh 2.1+ EDR, GPS, 3.5mm headset jack and microUSB along with complete and latest Android support.
Built-in Support for Near Field Communication: The latest mobile, Nexus S, is one of the first smart phones in the United States to include built-in support for Near Field Communication. The wireless standard enables consumers to make a payment by waving a device over an electronic reader, or pull information from NFC tags embedded in movie posters, stickers in shop windows and more.
First Android 2.3 OS Device: The Nexus S is the first device that will ship with Gingerbread, the 2.3 update of Google’s increasingly popular Android operating system. It’s faster than earlier versions and includes improved Internet calling, copy-and-paste functions, and support for NFC and a gyroscope, an orientation sensor that is expected to show up in growing numbers of smart phones. “Nexus S is the lead device for the Gingerbread/Android 2.3 release; it’s the first Android device to ship with the new version of the Android platform. We co-developed this product with Samsung—ensuring tight integration of hardware and software to highlight the latest advancements of the Android platform. As part of the Nexus brand, Nexus S delivers what we call a ‘pure Google’ experience: unlocked, unfiltered access to the best Google mobile services and the latest and greatest Android releases and updates,” said Andy Rubin, vice president of engineering at Google, in a corporate blog post on Monday.
Mobile Price & Availability: Nexus S will be available in the U.S from December 16th, 2010 and after December 20 at Carphone Warehouse stores in the UK. Nexus S will be priced $529.
