Google Nexus S Unboxing

The Nexus series of devices is supposed to represent the best possible Android experience. As was the case with the Nexus One, the Nexus S is a well-tuned Android smartphone with the latest software release (in this case, Gingerbread 2.3). Plus, it has no added interface, making the phone as fast as it can possibly be. Beyond that, the Nexus S provides a few features that Google is trying to encourage OEMs to include in future Android phones, like an NFC sensor, and a front-facing camera. If the Nexus S turns out to inherit the same virtues as the Nexus One, we’re in store for a fast device with great battery life, and tons of developer support. In this video we unbox the Nexus S. First impressions of the device? Yeah, it looks and feels a lot like a Galaxy S, but the curved screen (which isn’t as curved as you think) gives it some pizazz. We’ll be testing the Nexus S over AT&T’s network instead of T-Mobile as intended, meaning EDGE data is the best we can hope for, unless there’s a possibility of unlocking hidden bands for AT&T through software, as was the case with the T-Mobile Vibrant.
