Short Review

  • The Samsung Google Nexus S I9020A features a compact design with dimensions of 123.9 x 63 x 10.9 mm and a weight of 129 grams, making it comfortable to hold.
  • Its 4.0-inch Super AMOLED display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 233 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU and Hummingbird chipset, paired with 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 480p, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 1500 mAh battery supports standard usage but lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), the software experience is limited compared to modern standards.
  • Notable connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1, and NFC support.
  • The device is available in black and white colors, but lacks water resistance features.
  • Overall, the Nexus S is a basic smartphone that reflects its 2011 release date with limited specifications.
  • Special features include NFC support, which was innovative at the time.
