There have been a large number of handsets released recently based on the Android platform, though none can claim to have been designed from the ground up to use the Google Android operating system, except the Google Nexus S. Since the popularity of the Nexus One, Google's first foray into the smartphone sector, the company has been collaborating with the Korean manufacturer Samsung to create a handset that goes one step further into mainstream popularity.
So what has this new Google/Samsung collaboration got to set it apart from the competition? The primary feature that has everybody talking is the latest form of the very popular Google Android OS, which has now reached version 2.3. Version 2.3, or Gingerbread to give it its codename, promises to bring much better touchscreen support, faster processing and more complete functioning compared with version 2.2. A super powerful 1GHz Hummingbird central processing unit is being incorporated into the internal specifications, along with 512MBs of RAM to help power Gingerbread to its fullest capabilities.
Externally, what causes this handset to stand out from the crowd is the curvature that has been incorporated into the design. The glass screen has a minor concave curve which is supposed to help comfort during extended periods of call time. Other factors that make this phone particularly special are the Super AMOLED display which projects a resolution of 480 x 800 (or 235 ppi), an internal digital compass, an accelerometer, and a gyroscope.
Unfortunately the one thing that is supposed to make this phone great, the updated Android OS, is the one thing that brings the Nexus S back down into the chasing pack of the Apple iPhone. The operating system, although better than previous versions, is still not as complete and capable as the Apple operating system. Although it is easier to say than to do, Google really should be aiming at more than what they have achieved and it is disappointing to say that it still feels lacking in many areas.
It seems that every week there is a new Android handset released that takes the crown of best Android phone and the Google Nexus S continues that tradition in some style. While there are a few flaws with the operating system and a small number of usability issues, if you weigh up the pros and cons then it is a no-brainer, the Samsung Google Nexus S is the best Android phone on the market today.
