Summary
- The Alcatel Evolve and Samsung Google Nexus S I9023 both feature a 4.0-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, but the Nexus S utilizes S-LCD technology, which may offer better color reproduction compared to the Evolve's TFT display.
- In terms of performance, the Evolve is powered by a Mediatek MT6575 chipset with 4GB of RAM, while the Nexus S has a Hummingbird chipset with 16GB of storage and 512MB of RAM, potentially providing a smoother experience.
- Both devices have a 5 MP rear camera, but the Nexus S includes autofocus, which may enhance photo quality.
- The Evolve has a 1400mAh battery, slightly less than the Nexus S's 1500mAh, which could affect battery life.
- Both phones run Android, with the Evolve on version 4.1 and the Nexus S initially on 2.3 but upgradable to 4.1.1, offering a more modern software experience on the latter.
- Build quality is similar, with the Evolve being slightly heavier and thicker than the Nexus S.
