The Samsung Nexus S 4G offers a brilliant display, WiMax support, and agreeable performance. It gains a number of usability improvements from the Gingerbread OS, and its straight Google interface will appeal to Android purists. The Nexus S 4G has a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with a unique curved front called the Contour Display. It is powered by a 1GHz Samsung processor and runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread. It also includes a 5 megapixel rear camera with a VGA resolution (640x480 pixel) front camera. The remaining specs for the Nexus S 4G remain the same as the original Nexus S: 16GB internal storage and 512MB RAM, a 1500mAh battery, NFC support, Bluetooth 2.1, integrated GPS, and Wi-Fi with 802.11 b/g/n support. Check out our full review of the original Nexus S here. Sprint and Google are also announcing a unique partnership with Google Voice that the Nexus S 4G will take full advantage of. Sprint customers can use their current Sprint number as a Google Voice number without having to port it over, allowing them to ring multiple phones simultaneously and enjoy Google Voice voicemail and text messaging features. The Nexus S 4G will be available this spring at all Sprint retail outlets and online for $199.99 on a new two-year agreement. It requires a $10 per month data service charge in addition to the standard voice and data plan rates. Outside of the network changes and the integration of Google Voice, Sprint's Nexus S 4G is identical to the GSM Nexus S. You'll find the same design and internal features and (sadly) it also lacks a memory card slot and LED notifications. Of course, the added support for high-speed data gives the Nexus S 4G an advantage over its T-Mobile sibling, but the WiMax connection was shakier than we've seen on other Sprint devices.
