  • can any one tell me is it good phone or not or normal can stand the app like whats and others apps and little games or it is so slow thanks

  • Nexus S has only 512MB RAM 128 MB is shared for graphics leaving only approx 384 MB for OS. The design is for Gingerbread. The later versions are heavier than Gingerbread. Add to that the extra apps installed. There is very less free RAM available. That is the reason it hangs. Do a factory reset and install apps that are essential or alternatively fall back to gingerbread.

  • Dear engineer, in what LOL! GREAT PHONE A PLEASURE TO HAVE! My 6 year old enjoys having it playing calling, just everything great to see those pleased eyes.

  • Mine is still working fine.non of the problems you state. After all these years looks and runs like new. If you have problems with the software do install mcafee yes you have tot pay but you will never have the problem again, you might miss an app or two though

  • This is possibly the worst phone I've ever owned. The hardware seems quite nice and the build quality is good, but once you turn it on it's all over. The problems are as follows: 1. Compass doesn't work (just spins constantly) 2. 8hrs to a charge, regardless of usage patterns 3. Intolerable lag doing just about anything 4. Constant FC's 5. Incessant "insufficient storage" message when doing updates 6. Slowest GPS lock-on in the known universe 7. Zero customer support 8. Worst reception of any phone I've owned Needless to say, I will not be buying another Google branded device...

  • I had the same problem and the only solution is to get the motherboard replaced at authorized Samsung service center and it costs around 8K :(

  • First tab on the picture than press the second marking from your left hand side that is four lines then press share then chose option and send to your self through email, or blue tooth on your other mobile From there you save.

  • i have aproblem with my nexus s screen, i need to change it. any idea the price?

  • i got samsung google nexus s at 14/02/2013. yesterday evening i put my cell on charging. and atomically it turns off. and now its not starting. please help me out. tell me what should i do .?

  • i think it is better device than s1

  • i m suffring from battry life..its so furstrating...

  • How to save image from FaceBook to our Phone.. Is there any App or option..

  • well jelly bean is the best of android yet....and for best experience of jelly bean use nexus devices....jelly bean works on different architecture and design , sometimes because of heavy usage u can feel some lags in between but just temporary, because it's a single core device but overall it completely deals with jelly bean, Google has optimized the jelly bean for nexus s in really different way to make it effective without any lag so don't worry use it flawlessly

  • it have 343mb of ram in stock kernel but if u root it and try some 3rd parties kernels like mermite and air , u could get 407 mb ram and battery is fully depends on ur usage...

  • it's good but do try rasbean jelly smoke edition with mermite kernel included, and get the best of nexus s experience , for bm tweaks use seeder and to fix lag problems use lagfix app from play store

  • Well nexus s is always facing a problem of battery drainage, but not like u, tell me from last how many months u r using it? try to switch off nfc, wifi, bluetooth , hardware keys vibrations , set display to automatic , use nq mobile booster app, and even after doing that , if u still face battery drainage in just 1 hour then u need to change ur battery , or try to fix this problem from this link

  • well both of them r not getting 4.2.1 officially , root and rom , nexus s is far better then ace 2 and galaxy s as well, u can even try galaxy s plus , for more info. on nexus s check this link out

  • well root ur device, use the best kernel out there and rom, install busy box and binaries...and get the best of nexus s experience

  • so it is the fault of the phone that you are unlucky and got duped into buying a defective piece?

  • I bought Google nexus on 15th of this month and all of the sudden while using it it got switched off and never came back to normal.. so pathetic .. Tried to get it repair in few service centers but couldnt succeed.. Didnt use it even for a single day.. :( Hope some one is listning to this and come back to me with solution

  • have you already switch off the wifi/bluetooth? Try using battery saver apps from play store. My nexus S also has the same problem and it's very frustrating. I try to use battery saver and it helps a little bit extend my battery life.

  • I would prefer Galaxy Ace 2 because it has dual core processor and my wife using it. But recently I still use my Nexus S, so it depends on your needs & experience. If I have to choose between these 2 I would say Ace 2.

  • Samsung Google Nexus S or Samsung Ace 2? (I don't care much about 4.2 update) If you know any other phone same as Google Nexus S than please tell.

  • somebody pls help me... my nexus s i9023 has a pathetic battery life. can barely get two hours on battery. running on 4.1.2. whether idle or not it discharges very fast and I don't know why. is it a hardware problem? software related or just the battery going bad. mind you it still runs low when idle, as much as during usage.

  • I am on Helly_bean unofficial 4.2.1 ROM with BM Seeder tweak and i tell you, it's ALMOST AS FAST AS GALAXY NEXUS.

  • battery last about a day and a half with moderate to heavy use and moderate internet use, great phone better than my old iphone anyday

  • dose it really has a 512 mb ram, no lags?? and what about battery life, does it last for a full day (24hrz)???

  • i upgraded my o.s to 4.1.2 but unfortunately my phone shut down... what will i do? please help me... im not expert in phone problems... thanks in advance.

  • No, this phone has only 512mb ram. its correct. KormandX

  • No, when you are using JB you can have some lags but this lags is too small that you dont see. I am expert of this phone. If you will have problems you can contact me on [email protected] Sorry fo my bad english KoRmAnDX

  • is the phone laggy or freeze when using android 4.1 jelly bean?

  • ram 1 gb

  • you mean you stole it and now you want to unlock it.

  • samsung google nexus s i9023 the last update is 4.1.2 n no more.

  • How is this mobile? And what about RAM?

  • Hi, I forgot how to unlock the phone including the password. Is there any method to unlock the phone? thanks,

  • hi! anybody knows when and will this phone get jelly bean 4.2 update? thanks

  • This device has no barometer! The Galaxy Nexus introduced it on Android.

  • Skype works great on this device.

  • I am using this great device right now.... very satisfied.. but it will not get 4.2 update.

  • Really, never had that problem. But it is winter so let me have job instead of ICS

  • Do not ever upgrade it to ICS the battery does not last even half the day.

  • excellent

  • Unfortunately it was discontinued at 4.1.2, very impressive life span. It has almost identical hardware to the Galaxy S (1) and it got 3 major releases ahead of it. If your willing to tamper then search in google "unlock nexus s bootloader" and head to Xda.

  • How do I get it to use 3G/4G I unticked the 2G box and have a 4G data plan but the phone keeps showing "E" not 3G or the "H" like on my galaxy pro... the network tests show up as EDGE

  • is this update to jb 4.2 ?

  • I would use it in Europe, Vodafone Hungary. Is it possible?

  • 512

  • How much ram does this have?

  • One thing is sure, you are not from the US otherwise you would know :-D electric chair and they high voltage on humans. Goes what happens to a phone -> R.I.P.

  • Read the privacy rules. Google/Android spying, not happening. Update your e72/backup and oops what does Nokia do :-D If no update your e72 will be functioning less

  • Skype is working fine on both the nexus s and desire s. I own both connection performance and video call are doing very well. Will regret changing to a new nexus at the end of the month

  • hows the battery performance after updating to jelly Bean?? how much free ram left??

  • hi guys. i've been using the Nexus s for about a month now. updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 last week and what i can say is what a GREAT UPDATE!!!!! more faster, smooth and stable than 4.1.1. now just hope that it can get 4.2 update soon!!!!

  • right should touch the LCD on this phone???

  • plz anyone tel me the skype is working good in cell or not...?? or samsung nexus s or htc desire s..???

  • create folder on sd Ringtones

  • how to set song ringtone in i9023

  • download : Flash Player for Android 4.0 archives �Flash Player 11.1.for Android 4.0 (11.1.115.20)

  • It is now updated to android 4.1.2 update it.. and enjoy........

  • jahangir actually when u send an mms from ur phone, the pic size is too large around 1.5mb. try taking pix at VGA and than giv it a try and remember onething on same carrier u can send an mms till 300kb but on another carrier it should be not more than 100kb

  • It is now upgrated to android 4.1.2..!!!

  • Your Q should be the other way around, does Ghana work with the Nexus S, yes works all over the globe

  • Build by Samsung doesn't mean it's a Samsung, it's a Google. iPhone also has Samsung hardware, still it's an Apple device. Some phones say powered by Google but doesn't mean it is a Google. Sorry no OTA for SII.

  • go for arc s

  • bro as utube is banned in pakistan thats y playstore is also not working in pakistan...thats y ur facing this problem... no issue at all with ur phone... this is hapening with everyone in pakistan due to banned of some web sites.

  • Good phone but google=android spying us!I go to use my e72.

  • no radio!!!!!!why why why otherwise excellent phone.

  • Bad hardware? Don't you know the risks of using high voltage on devices? Plus you know how to tweak your phone you should know the risks already before you did it. A little common sense would do.

  • this is my first android phone ..i am very happy with this phone !! and thanks to the xda developer forum to help for update my phone ... i use jelly bean 4.1.1 JRO03L ota from xda ...

  • Everything is great about this phone... But battery.. not at all enough.. does not even lost a day

  • i would like to know which is better.... sony xperia arc s or google nexus s..?

  • No built in zoom, something that sucks about this phone. However if you use a camera app like "Camera zoom FX" you can get some zoom

  • Bhai, please dont buy S2, because you are getting all the features in Google Nexus..that worked in S2 Also in comparision of Price S2 is very costly..:P So keep mind for Nexus..

  • you should use this program: camera zoom version 3.1

  • My Nexus S (Running Jellybean 4.1.1) lost all of my media like pictures and musics. I don't see them in google play nor my gallery but I can still see play and open my pics and musics in a file explorer. How can I put my pics and musics in my gallery and Google play. Please help me.

  • where do u live if you live in pakistan then goto teletec mobiles

  • My phone's screen is broken, where should i get it repaired. Please help me.

  • Was missing jellybean features.. So I flashed jellybelly 1.0. Been good so far. Kinda basic compared with some other ROMS. But it gets everything done. Would have loved a longer battery life. But it's a trade off with having a touchscreen I guess.

  • jelly Bean is fantastic. my phone has never worked so great.

  • Hey I got the update of the Jelly beans 4.1.1 but the phone hangs a bit and the other apps like what's app and avast gets force stop may I know the reason and there are 11GB of data in my phone what is the reason behind the apps getting stop automattly pls do reply

  • its brilliant phone . smart design . کس ننه we call it = beyond legend

  • Best mobile phone ever ics was a suprise but now jellybean....e x c e l l e n t!

  • Just updated mine.. Swift key 3 is getting little slower

  • Yesterday I just got Jelly Bean for my Nexus S....it's getting faster now :)

  • Nnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiicccccccccccceeeeeeeee­

  • it is very nice to use handle soft battery backup is very low

  • If this phone can get jelly bean 4.1.1,then samsung must release 4.1.1 for Galaxy S2.Coz in compare with specification Galaxy S2 is far more powerful in compare with this phone...........

  • Forgot to mention that I was testing an SDK version of jellybean. Was smooth, but the battery was terrible. Went back to cm9 after a day. Cant wait for OTA version. I wish it has BLN also..

  • Guys, please tell me. Should i get this phone or S2? reply me ASAP. I want to buy a new phone in just two days from now.

  • I've been using that ROM for the past 4 weeks. And it made my Nexus faster!

  • Trying on jellybean guys! Will update on the battery life. Preeeeetty fast for an old timer of a phone. So happy getting nexus units. No need for the galaxy nexus for now! =)

  • If you want a fast nexus s and a good battery life then flash recovery, root, flash CyberGR-MOD and finally flash matr1x cfs kernel.

  • Will this device work will in ghana

  • Whay is the ram in this device

  • how to get 100% batt? or at least more than 94%? turn off your wifi and 3g while charging..well, its make my i9023 got 95% - 100% (long time charging)

  • Thank you for your comment. Now I know why my phone do es that. Does that happen to you?

  • Don't worry it's just additional feature to make sure you don't overcharge your phone. So don't be too worried shout that, besides what can the other six percent help you at since you've got 94 percent ;)

  • Glad to be of help.

  • how can i upgrade the mobile

  • My battery too does that. Even when I first bought it. I don't know why.

  • My battery too does that. Even when I first bought it. I don't know why.

  • Sorry guys, just got this hp from my friends. wanna double check somethings. when my phone is charging when the battery is full it display 94% instead of 100% is it normal or i have to get a new battery for this guy..? thanks for any kind ans.. Cheers! =)

  • Is your light sensor works? Try switching to auto brightness and flashlight the light sensor and go to a dark place. Tell me if the light goes down. My light does not go down when I go to a dark place.

  • I am using the Nexus S charger, but still my phone heats up a little. I think it really does that to any smartphone.

  • I've already used Galaxy S and Nexus S (my current phone). If you want a comfortable device I recommend the Nexus S but if you want a pocket friendly phone I recommend Galaxy S.

  • unfortunately the screen has broken and i am looking for screen replacement. the agency is requesting the cost of almost the same price which i have purchased it. is there a place in kuwait so i will go to repair it. best regards

  • Okay, Nowadays the android phone are almost at same level, so its very hard to choose which one is better. You need to fit it to your needs. The HTC One V, at first look, lacks of some features like secondary camera, compass and its display size is smaller than the other two. But in the other hand brings to the mid-range android very cool features like the Image Sense (very low shutter speed, amazing UI, continuous burst and image capture while recording a video), the android 4.0 (no need to wast time flashing it), an amazing built quality and an updated hardware. The nexus s is a true google phone, so it covers a lot of features that even some new devices don't, making it the best option to enjoy the android world. But I my opinion it is already an old device so you might find some problem in the future. The Sansung Galaxy S is ugly and plastic but comes with some hardware advantage from the nexus like a better camera (you can see the samples) the AMOLED version is cheaper than Nexus S (LCD version) too. But in the end its up to you! (and yes I like more the HTC One V)

  • Me too. Since i upgraded to 4.0.4 android is waaAaaaay too buggy. Very few apps i can download and the phone lags like hell... Plus battery lasrs only 2 hrs over hard use and not even a day with normal use

  • which is better google nexus s or galaxy s or htc one v ????

  • Try downloading file manager and find music an feom there you can send music to any device. But for the custom ringtone I'm not sure. I hope it helped.

  • I Love this phone but how can i send music via Bluetooth?? I'm In Egypt, does it support video call with 3G?? How can I change the sms ringtone with any personal ringtone but not the phone's rington ??

  • I Love this phone but how can i send music via Bluetooth?? I'm In Egypt, does it support video call with 3G??

  • Hello Mikzi, i have this phone & whenever i charge it with some other charger except mine it heats up so it would be better if u'd use the Nexus S charger

  • i used this phone nearly a year now i never encountered any problems regarding battery drain i even use so many RUNNING APPS in the background. ITS A NICE PHONE...running on stock ics 404.....

  • Android 4.0.4 is sucks Battery drain very very very fast, also some game force close Tample run not running properly Google please do something. :-(

  • Well I don't look at the price when I'm telling if it's mid-range or high end. I always look at the specs. But for this phone, I'm not so sure.

  • My phone always heats up whenever I charge it. I am using the charger for Galaxy SII. Should this be resolved if I use my own charger for Nexus S?

  • If you consider the US release price of 530 + US $... will you consider the phone mid-range?

  • Hi all If i buy it in white, is it possible to change to black?

  • Lately my phones screen kept turning on and off frequently. Please help me. What are some solutions?

  • After getting ics 4.04 strange thing happen. Got auto-rotate on but still cant rotate when I turn it on it's side while on home and menu screen. What gives?

  • I9023 update 4.05 is on hold by Google as work is under process due to some performance and battery issues let see what's coming up next. I feel performance is still need improvements in 4.04 is not the final perfect version.

  • how ca i buy this phone ,how much in US Dollars and how can get it coz am in Africa(Rwanda/Kigali)

  • Is this phone High End or Mid Ranged phone?

  • Hours ago, I received the official ICS 4.04 update. Great!!!! wait for so long and it comes true!!! from UK

  • Update brings some usability improvements and better ram management it doesn't mean the ram usage has decreased much but management of how to distribute the ram memory between application has improved a bit but I wont say its the perfect update for sure there are still bugs to be removed. Some rumors are already their for next build 4.05 but still rumor.

  • go to this link n follow instructions

  • Haiz~ nothing different 4.0.3 with 4.0.4. RAM usage consume high... very bad~~~

  • just keep waiting and you will receive update, i received the update 4.0.4 before 2 days, April 4th, but sure you can get the update from some websites, and you can find the official image code on Google website, but i personally preferred waiting to get it OTA

  • how to update to 4.0.4?im still stuck in 4.0.3.. pls help.. search but no update~

  • My web browse kept force closing. But the rest is fine.

  • Buggy ? can you be more precise pls

  • Ram is 512MB but user available memory is 335 MB the remaining memory is shared by other hardware.

  • ICS 4.0.4 is still quite buggy at some point. Hope they update it.

  • I thought it's RAM is 512 mb? Only 335 mb is shown in my phone? Why is that?

  • I like the slight curved screen that makes design unique and comfortable, hardware is good enough to run ICS smoothly but needs to be more bug free with new updates by Google currently running v4.04

  • update to ICS 4.0.4. is success...!!!

  • guys I'm using this phone from past 10 months n just awesome. I really made very good deal by buying this phone.

  • If you don't want to press your power button, you can download "Tap Tap App". It makes your proximity sensor the power button. Try it it's great!

  • You can see Samsung kies or OTA (over the air) for ICS update.

  • have problem with boot recovery pls help me

  • When I bought this phone last friday,My antutu benchmark score was lower that what is posted on that app. I don't know whats really true, my score or the score posted in antutu. And I can't bluetooth with my fathers phone, Galaxy SII. He said of I root my phone it will speed up a little. Is that true?

  • Great phone, but for now Google has stopped the ICS update for the Nexus S because of the bug problems (battery drain, cpu overload, etc...). I´m very happy with it!

  • for me, its doesnt matter for no zoom camera, but i'v got ton experiance when i using costum rom and karnel from Xda forum :)

  • Which is a better phone to buy?samsung galaxy w or google nexus s?please tell me!im counting on you experts!!thanks :-)

  • amazing Smart phone.Has everything.Using since last 4 months and got ICS update on December and it works with ICS great. price is much more cheaper then the other models which still runs on Android 2.3 or Gingerbird No Camera Zoom

  • Thx for rainbow contact

  • I have a nexus s and i am very happy with this phone. It´s just an amazing phone and compared to others that costs a lot more, this one is at least as good, you won´t see a diference! The only con, is that the camera has no zoom. I would buy the same phone again!

  • install rainbow contact - free from market export import of contact allowed across different os phones

  • DOo not buy anything yet, a lots new model coming out this year

  • Arc S or Sensation or Galaxy r or Nexus s. Bear in mind all pros and cons... the htc sensation cost like 2199.... the Arc s cost 1750 and the nexus s cost like 1500... Which one should i buy.. my budget is 2000 ...I can still add a bit more... Suggest some phones for me to buy with dual core and low price... should i wait for the samsung galaxy s advance?? THAnks!!

  • Simple. 1. This phone has one of the best sounds in the market (barring iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy S and maybe HTC Sensation). After adding Voodoo to this phone, it will sing for you, seriously. I'm an audiophile. 2. It has NFC, which is a near-field communicator. It can actually send or receive information without using bluetooth or anything, just putting it near another phone with NFC. Hope it helps. :)

  • please help.... how can i export a contact to the sim card????

  • please help.... how can i export a contact to the sim card in my 9023 ???????

  • NO HD recording , 720*480 ICS is for I9020T but succesfully ported to I9023

  • ya I kno der r plenty of camera zoom apps available in d market.. but y shud I pay for something which is very basic feature for smartphones.. n by d way nexus s is a pretty expensive phn compared to other basic phones which have got camera zoom n other basic features..

  • does it support hd video recording. or will after updating to ICS 4.

  • very good phone...i have one since 1 feb 2010 and it works the same...it didn't slow at all,i can run every hd game i can,with no lag,camera is awesome and you don't need to spend all of your life savings for a galaxy s2 if this can run every game on it...the bad thing is that it is the S-LCD version:(

  • tis phone still produce?

  • Guys which is better?? Nexus s or galaxy s2 or htc sensation or samsung galaxy r?? The nexus s cost 1600 DHS here, the htc sensation cost 2200 DHS, the galaxy r cost like 2000 DHS and the galaxy s2 cost like 2300 DHS soo which among those phone are the best and worth the money... The htc sensation has a death grip soo is it ok?? Will it get update fix?? Is it fixed? Is the processor fast?? Or should I wait for the sony xperia nhypon or the xperia pepper?? How much does the galaxy nexus cost here in Dubai??( if you know please tell me). Thanks

  • make phone visible in the phone bluetooth options everytime u use bluetooth.

  • i dont know why the bluetooth is paired but not connected...anybody can help me

  • i haven't received ICS update!! someone please tell me what should i do. :(

  • You should definitely buy Google Nexus S because it combines everything you need in one piece and in the end its "Google", it will always keep on its valuable price and not get to loose it in a fast way.

  • You must have updated with your own build number, i think you should visit xda developers web to reinstall your previous operating system, offcourse Nexus S, it is now running official ICS which is still not availablt for very expensive mobiles of LG,HTC and S.E

  • google nexus with android 4.0.3 ics

  • Should I Buy Google Nexus S I9023 Or LG Optimus Black P970?

  • nexus s or sony xperia pro ????

  • please i update my phone and since then my WiFi is not working what should i do

  • I have one. Restarts constantly! I slammed it face down on my desk out of frustration, and because of the curve it cracked quite bad... But it can still get input from my finger in that section of the broken screen. Getting a new phone... sigh...

  • how to get up date

  • camera apps are available free on market with zoom and lot more stuff... even panorama mode is very cool in ics... this phone is awesome

  • ya.. no zoom for camera.. very disappointing..

  • is it true that the camera of this phone doesn't have zoom?? thanks in advance.

  • Dude Its So Simple Just go to XDA developers u ll everythng and iam using ICS 4.1.0 in my Nexus S..:)

  • Go with Nexus S. I have both.

  • I traded in my Galaxy S for the Nexus S this weekend because I couldn't take touchiwiz anymore, and ofcourse samsung decided not to give the phone ICS on account of there not being enough space on the device for both ICS and touchwiz and I am never looking back. This is the phone i should have gotten the first time round. Instead I focused on the lack of external sd card and tv out etc all the crap that in the end doesnt matter. What matters is how smooth pure android is, from now on its only google phones for me. Ps. Updating this phone is soooo easy, no more stress about possibly bricking it while flashing with odin. Download the OTA, put in on the internal sd, put the phone into recovery and flash it. It literally took me 30 seconds to get ICS

  • i'll go with nexus s because it's a google phone. i got ICS on my nexus as the first official update and works way better than 2.3

  • hey there... which is better? NExus s or xperia arc?

  • Guys which is better? Nexus s or xperia arc

  • I went to the service center today and they replaced the screen of my NS. Guess what, I turned the new screen on and there were a couple of dead pixels already!! Don't they even care to check if they have produced the right thing? I think the QA department of Sammy is sleeping these days. Above all, the service center guy insisted me to use the screen since it did not create any functionality issues, WTF!! I disagreed and they had to order a different screen again :(

  • Sammy's Google Nexus S should do it, There's no more Sony Ericsson now just Sony....

  • how did you get update? i am waiting for update from last month, 24 hours wifi On, but still no notification, where i got 2.3.6 update on the first day of purchase, kind give me a reply,

  • Dear Google, Please don't halt the ICS 4.0 update. You will get a good feedback from us since we are using you android devices. It really pains me to see my friends nexus s running on ICS, while I am like a stupid donkey standing next to him, having the same device while running on gingerbread 2.3.6 update. Don't stop there, we still support sammys device and android OS. So please, Don't halt on the update or we might have to change our OS religion to the dying symbian OS... Thank you :P

  • Has Google started the update process to 4.0 again? The wait is getting pretty long now. A lil OT but my Nexus SLCD as developed a dead pixel and thankfully one of the service centers in Delhi have agreed to change the screen under warranty. They have ordered the screen and hopefully I will get it replaced in a couple of days.

  • Google Nexus S or Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro, witch one should I buy?

  • Is it play 720p mp4 video in gingerbread?? please reply asap..thanks

  • i hv nexus s i9023 i need to update it to 4.0.. post me the exact file address to download and install

  • Has anyone in India having Google Nexus S got an update to Android 4.0?? Any idea when will it roll out??

  • samsung nexus s ...its d best smart phone...its simply amazing...the design,the screen,hardware,camers...every thing about it is awesome...i have been using this phone for 6 months now...in india very few know bout nexus s ...nd among them very few owns it....but when ever i bring nexus s out of my pocket everyone around stares at it... 2 days ago i updated my nexus s manually to ice cream sandwitch 4.0.3...the most talked bout android os....i never received any update from google so went ahead and updated manually....nd i had nothing but to stare at my phone and say ....woooowww.... ics is super cool...i dont know y eveyone is complaining bout d update...it is so smooth...it is faster...UI is amazing...camers works perfect specially d different modes which are included in camera...no issue with wifi...actually no issues at all....battery gives a backup up of 12 hours on 3g with normal internet usage,video and audio playback,3 hours of calling...all the application support except for a few which can b replaced by alternate apps....i m loving d new cool look and feel of nexus s...its awesome

  • Dude, i don't know about others but ur comment made me laugh to death! I don't realize until now, that people still needs something called user manual!!! lol!!! Especially someone who buys a Nexus!!! Dude, thanks =D

  • Mine nexus s is working excellent after upgrading to ICS 4.0.3.

  • S1 and Nexus S are basically the same, with Nexus S being slightly better (NFC, curved surface, etc). amongst the four, I would recommend Nexus S, it will get the ICS update in future for sure.

  • Google stopped the ICS roll-out due to user complaints, apparently the ICS update is making the phone horrible (fast battery drain, slow UI, some apps not working properly). Just wait till google sort out these issues, then you can update your nexus s :)

  • yeah yeah.. u really do not deserve the phone man.Atleast u would have tried to understand since everything is suggested in itself !! there'z not at all any rocket science.

  • you don't deserve this phone.

  • This phone is amazing and i love it. It competes with iphone 4 and i bought this instead of iphone 4 it is very easy to use

  • This phone has the potential to be great, but because it has no user guide or manual, it's effectively useless. I bought this for my wife and it has remained unused because we have no idea how to work it. So well done Samsung, a really smart move!

  • It was published OTA, but drawn back by Google since users complained that the battery life was horrible.

  • Is ICS update available or coming for Google Nexus S I9023...?

  • download user manual ... search it on google.. thats what i also did...

  • yeah because it so snappy it means not using so much of your memory with all this feature isnt that amazing ? :d andorid u are amazing in my book it dont take more that 140 mg of your ram ... and soem one said 128 mg , so dont be worry about lacking RAM memory 4 runing apps on multitask

  • ?? how i can started my new samsung nexus s I9023 it came without a manual ,please help?

  • Well, I got the ICS update on my nexus s just after 8 hours after Being released by the Google via ota. It's damn good. I m loving it! Since I always prefer 3g network That's y I haven't check the Wi-Fi. its new advanced keyboard is damn good with auto spelling checker and dictionary is damn good.i love the screen rotation. Ur running apps looks quiet small as compared to gingerbread. Notification bar is damn advanced .I created my own movie in a all new movie studio app.sorry guys but I didn't find any fault in the people's app, it works fine, using new avast Antivirus beta which is free, and a new extend battery app Everything works fine but I can't find any changes in the camera, same as before, I didn't get the face unlock as well .my home screen is also not rotating in a landscape mode as I seen in the custom Rome.sometimes hangs and comes outwith a bug but except these things, all is well,,,, I mean they r good . With regards Aditya.... .

  • Hello Harsh, how did you get the update? Was it OTA or you manually did it?

  • Internal Memory Increased my 20MB approx :))). I was worried too about this prior to the update :D

  • Wifi issue with ICS4.0.3: I updated 2.3.6 to ICS4.0.3 yesterday over Wifi..with the qatar SIM card in it.. after updating, the wifi doesn;t work.. was strucking my head for solution..suddenly i got idea of inserting other SIM cards..when i insert UAE SIM card, it works fine..so there may be problem of the SIM card which was present during update..be careful guys...;)

  • After installing ICS... How much memory is left for apps?? Please reply??

  • Get manual update.. its awsm..!! n no risk.. go 4 it..

  • Updated 2 ICS 4.0.3 yestrday manually.. its awsm guys!! Go 4 it.. I dnt kno y sm ppl think its nt safe.. d link given is d official google android's link.. only d diffrnce is dat u'l hav 2 dwnld d updt file n instl it manuly.. ders no risk in it watsoevr.. I've updtd my cell n I'm really happy n satisfied wid d performance..

  • official 4.0.3 for GSM, this based on 9020 :

  • I kinda agree to that. Its always safe to update via OTA. That said, if you have the slightest of idea what you are doing, updating manually should be a cake walk. BTW, has the Indian Nexus S started getting the OTA update? I'm still waiting for it :( I keep taping on the system update tab but it always shows "system up to date"

  • It's not safe because you have to perform it manually, and why to do this while Google has just began updating their nexus s gsm phones. And today morning I got the update via OTA. And just updated my nexus s to 4.0.3. In just 5 min.....so simple rather than installing rom by plugging ur nexus s to the computer. It was so easy and simple, I think every nexus s user has got the update.

  • it isnt safe at all.. i fcked up my phone doingthis,..... i cant open recoery now..... damn.... and my top bar has lower birghtness always....

  • guys! it says dat d ICS update file is 'for T Mobile version only'.. nw wat ds dat mean? plz explain.. I have i9023.. cn I update my phn wit dis file?

  • hi I'm from India. I got the pics updates by Google recommendations. can any one tell me how can I get a face detection screen lock plzzzzz

  • Why it is not safe? It is official update exactly the same which you will get OTA from Google. If you know how to update, which infact is a very simple 2 minutes procedure, then there is no use to wait for the OTA. Guys go ahead you get the official update.

  • I can update my Nexus s i9023 2.3.6 to ice cream sandwich4.0.3 but I will not because somehow it is not safe.I will wait till I 'll get it via OTA ......GUYS WAIT UNTIL THE GOOGLE ITSELF NOT RELEASE IT VIA OTA.

  • I just updated my Nexus S to ICS manually. Awesome. Go for it guys, you will love it. Follow this link, who want to update manually. Its official update, so nothing to worry.

  • today

  • have a look Google Nexus Twitter they have just posted on Twitter saying that "We're rolling out Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, to GSM/UMTS Nexus S devices over the coming month, starting today"

  • When google nexus s can updated to ICS 4.0 os ?

  • Not really.. SUPER AMOLED is not that good. here is reasons: 1.Fake colour - ur eye will get sick after few hours 2. SUPER AMOLED screen life is around 1 year. after 1 year screen will start to lose contrast etc. 3. Over heat - SUPER AMOLED over heat very fast. it will get really hot after few min of keep use 4. it is first Gen SUPER SMOLED - Pen tile matrix. which is not good. overall i use myself S-LCD NEXUS S because of those reasons.

  • i had the same problem and i choosed nexus s and i am verry glad ...are you romanian?

  • nexus s because will get ics 4.0 and gpu-video is better...games are fantastic....led flash etc...true...no s amoled

  • Phone is just awsome i think thz is the phone u can use untill u get bore of Android...:)

  • It's a great phone...I love my Nexus S

  • galaxy s plus or nexus s i9023..which one is better?? :)

  • Its a great handset !!! many exciting features ... quite decent and durable :)

  • I bought this phone a couple of weeks ago and it started to lose data( music files, photos, even documents).Is this a software(Android) problem or something else?

  • in my country, Nexus S i9023 is cheaper than Galaxy W. Sure thing it's worth buying. It's official Google phone, and confirmed to receive Ice Cream Sandwich. The only downside, maybe it doesn't record 720p.

  • If you can, get the I9020 Nexus S, it has Super AMOLED this one has Super Clear LCD. They are both great, but AMOLED is better. I had to buy this one (because finding an AMOLED model can be tricky in Europe), it is an amazing phone!

  • im using this phone last 7month.but recently when im goin to update the version my set become dead...plz guys help me to recover this.plz give me a detailed idea that i can get back my phone again..........and plz tell me can i upgrade it to ics and how?????

  • Love this phone..its use SLCD..for me its much better then Super Amoled pentile screen which is worse to view text..

  • Dude, m using nexus s from long time now , take my suggestion as my bro using Galaxy S & his closest friend using Galaxy s. Only Galaxy S2 can be a better option from nexus s. nothing else,No HTC devices.There is no lag,nothing stops the phone working hard. M having 75 apps installed. & after all u will be the first to recieve the ICS update. SO, go with the Nexus S.

  • hello I heard a lot of this phone self rebooting issue? How do you fix that? and that about overheating

  • Which one is better, galaxy W I8150 or nexus S I9023? Since nexus s is more pricy, does the facility worth to buy? Thanks for your response:)

  • Zoom kemera no?

  • Well well well......I think here m the best user of this phone. And yes I m so if u want a long lasting battery life u should use juice defender, u can download it from android market, first try the free version then go for purchase. yes ofcourse zooming is not there in the camera becoz I think gingerbread's camera is still lagging it.but don't worry u will get it on ice cream sandwich 4.0.1 .device will definitely get the most advanced ics in mid Dec or may be in first week of Dec. And to kill all running tasks go to settings then applications then running application ....force stop all of them then press option touch sensitive control then click on cached background and clear the apps cache memory. Now ur mobile is set free with no running back don't stop the launcher and at last force stop settings and come out, just do it twice or thrice a day. But in ics u just don't need to do anything like this just pull it away by long pressing the home button. U can customized the rom for best use of ur phone just by booting ur device watch out its way of doing it from anyone in Google or just type on you tube to see that.the whole device is just brilliant its contour display sets well in hand and displays the better brilliant vibrant colour. Its design us superb and it have everything on board. So still having some questions regarding Nexus s??? Just ask it on my Facebook search [email protected] and sent messages regarding ur questions ...... b byeee .....adios!

  • Clark, HTC Desire S is more pricy but that doesn't mean it's better. I have and i9023 and a Desire S and i can tell you from an hands-on experience that the i9023 feels better. That is probably because Desire S got and update to android 2.3.5 and htc sense 3.0 and that probably uses more resources than the stock android 2.3.6 from i9023. But keep in mind that Desire S has almost +200mb of ram in front of i9023. Still i think the i9023 feels better and runs smoother. I will go with the i9023 because it's a google phone and very soon it will get the ICS update

  • how does a phone doesn't have a zoom and do u have a app for the cam zoom ?

  • Which one is better?? Nexus s i9023 or SE xperia neo v or SE Xperia Neo???

  • everyone is asking about the ICS update in their devices. I asked on them on their ICS Facebook page they said that their is no fixed date but we can expect it sometimes in coming December.this is the only ans I got when I tried to collect the knowledge about the same in other mobile phone news related sites.

  • why google nexus has curved glass screen is it better than other screens.

  • why nexus s does not support video call option on service provider.

  • When will my Nexus S get d ICS 4.0 update? I live in India (Pune).. N hw do v get it? Online? or Manually @ Samsung Servc Centrs ? Plz reply if u kno..

  • The phone works fine on stock but if you update the rom and customized it,turns out to be a powerful phone.fast and efficient and works perfectly.compared to other phones benchmark it can produce way of the chart results.

  • What's better, Samsung Galaxy SL or Samsung Google Nexus S I9023?

  • AMOLED is LED display much brighter as compared with LCD displays.SCLCD is super clear LCD display it gives more battery life.

  • Use ' Advanced task killer' to kill backgroud running apps, n use 'juice defender' to save battery.. these r d bst available apps.. try it.. :)

  • it will be the first device updated to ICS.

  • It will show only ~310MB, rest memory 'll take by the kernal

  • will this phone get ics 4.0 update? any link that explain that???

  • is facebook places(able to check-in places and tag persons you are with) applicable to this phone? asap pls..

  • is facebook places(able to check-in places and tag persons you are with) applicable to this phone? asap pls..

  • How can i share a facebook video from my Facebook App thru my Nexus SI9023, kindly please reply to my Question..

  • Just part of the android uses for their needs ... and the balance shown is about 300 ~ 380 ... who as)) This problem is also on the 9020 ... it all depends on the version of android! The difference in memory between 9020 and 9023 - are not !!!!!! You can safely take 9023))

  • Its coz the remaining RAM is reserved for GPU (SGX 540). Same is with i9020 and Galaxy S.

  • this phone has 512 mb of ram of which ~320 are addresable by the the original OS (there is no need for more ram at the moment because of the way android manages it-or so they say) some manufacturers modify the kernel to show the whole 512 ram as a marketing point mainly. maybe in the next OS iteration (i.e ice cream sandwich) they will use another kernel and nexus s will get the whole 512 of installed ram) as a side note, i'm content with the ~300 mb of ram i have on my nexus

  • I sold this fon within 2days, only bcoz of ram, this crap has only 384MB ram, Don't buy this one either go for I9020, it has 512MB ram.

  • I am using this phone from last 4 months. Its always showing RAM is 305MB. i mean 135mb used and rest 270mb free. so total is 305mb. But as per Samsung/Google specification it must have 512 mb of RAM. Can anyone explain this situation?

  • Use Mobo Video player :)

  • how to open .avi files in my nexus s i9023.how share vdos from face book

  • long press menu to open keyboard - enter %^() or any other operator

  • The Nexus S i9023 calculator doesn't have a '%' sign.. Basic feature is missing. Guess Google would rectify this...

  • I've been using nexus s for 2 months.. 4 me no camera zoom, no documnt editr, no memry crd slot r d only disappointments.. othrwise its d best smart phone.. hop I'll gt camera zoom n documnt editr wit a ICS4.0 update..

  • Guys! Its the best smart phone ever made ...... .and an official phone of Google after the galaxy Nexus. It will get the ics update 4.0.1......in between 15 to 20 Nov or may be in the last week of the Nov .......and after that it will become the super phone with more advanced features. like panorama mode, may be zooming in camera and live effects. Etc in camera.

  • S2 is expensive but there are better features than Nexus S i9023 like the SMS view. S2 has the bubble/conversation view, i9023 has a neat threaded view. in terms of tones, S2 has better selection. Camera, both are 5MP on the Primary cam, but i would say i9023's is better --- it has flash! :) i have i9023, my hubby has S2. i9023 doesn't have a card slot... which is sad. but hey, 16gb internal isn't bad. S2 is slimmer and lighter and has radio. personal choice? Google Nexus S i9023 :-)

  • is it possible to have a sim toolkit here at nexus??and how??what rom should i used to have a sim toolkit?? and,this will goin to have an ICS update???

  • got this phone instead of sony xperia arc...suprisingly although the specs maybe slightly lower but it performs faster, better than sony xperia arc. and the memory is good, i can download all the apps and games needed unlike xperia which the memory is only 320mb. so far so good i will give a 2 thumbs up for the phone

  • when will we get android 4.0 update??

  • There is no memory card slot. It is must one.Other than this it is super............

  • it depends on ur usage...Nexus handles normal usage pretty well but S2 really scores when it comes to multi-tasking.Also,u may get Nexus fr under Rs.20000

  • Go for S2. Its the best smartphone !!!

  • am want to buy smartphone, i selected two models nexus and s2 ,any one pls help me which one is most better.....

  • super phone! do what it says, never have problem with force close, big capacity, super camera, rigid built, updated 1st always.

  • Watch the video (link given below) & decide yourself.... (Remember Right : Nexus SAMOLED, Left : Nexus SCLCD )

  • Why does India always get SLCD instead of AMOLED screens? I thought of buying this since Galaxy S is not sold here (instead Galaxy SL is), but now came to know the it's the same case with Nexus S too :(

  • brilliant phone so far ..... only useful thing missing is a notification light

  • i want to know whats the difference between AMOLED screen and SUPER LCD screen.. and whichone is better,.,.

  • i want to know whats the difference between AMOLED screen and SUPER LCD screen.. and whichone is better,.,.

  • Google will automatically update your phone with 2.3.6. Its a small update of 17 MB and just to fix the Voice search function and no additional enhancement in any other features.

  • The Google Nexus S has been taken off the market and only few pieces might be available if you go and visit shops.

  • The question is for all india- delhi users !! guys i have been looking for this mobile on the whole net but its somewhere price 26k or 20k(19999rs) and even its going out of stock from the online stores !! so i need to ask if this mobile will be available in delhi till the next summer or not ..

  • Hi can someone tell me how do i refresh the music library, i am not getting the option, also some of the songs dont appear in the music list, i have to go to the media folder to listen to that song, why does that happen

  • ¬¬I'm using this phone for last 7 days & found some negative side of it which is as follows: 1. Unbelievably there is not card slot for external micro SD memory chip!!! 2. No FM Radio. 3. The 3.5 mm jack for audio output is located at the bottom side of the mobile so it�s very difficult to listen music while the phone is in your chest pocket. 4. Too much time needed for full battery charging. 5. Battery drains quickly when your display brightness is high or medium. 6. The earphone comes with the phone looks very cheap & there is not audio controller attached with it. (While Nokia earphones are attached with a very gorgeous audio controller.) 7. Audio sound is very bad while listening songs or phone calls by loudspeaker. The positive side of this mobile is as follows: 1. Very attractive design 2. Display resolution is very nice 3. Touch screen responds very quickly. 4. Internet facility is very smooth & useful.

  • Its 512 !!

  • i want to know immediately that how much ram this device contains because there is nothing about ram in specs. plzplzplzplzplzplz some body help me.

  • i own this phone and my friends have samsung Galaxy s. galaxy s 2 galaxy ace and htc desire. nexus is good but sgs2 moves very fine. my nexus has lag even ia pure gooogle. i had all this pho es in my hands and compared it.

  • yah agree with you, in compare to galaxy s its so fast and yeah i will only change it with nexus prime in future. the main disadvantage is internal storage, i prefered it was 32 gb.

  • how to update 2.3.6

  • I have just updated today to 2.3.6 everything is working perfectly and i feel it's bit smoother and faster,i have tried WiFi hotspot and it worked.

  • nexus s is the best one-core mobile.very fast phone.galaxy s is too slow and laggy.i am happy i have this phone and i will change it only for a dual-core phone

  • hi guys. has anyone installed the 2.3.6 update yet? I have a notification on my phone that it's ready for installation but im worried to install it because it might get the same bug that the i9020 Nexus S (super amoled version) has: the tethering or wifi hotspot doesn't work anymore after they updated to 2.3.6 can anyone confirm that everything works fine including wifi hotspot after upgrading to 2.3.6 for the i9023 nexus s? thanks guys! :)

  • I also own this phone & heavily using it for the last 3months. Man your phone has problem which samsung not accepting.u need to complaint in Google.this is a Damn good phone no lags nothing.I have around 70apps installed in the device but it never sow downs.not even lags.only camera is not that good.u please go to the service centre & break their head.

  • Well samsung said the truth as most android based cellphones except dual core ones are like this for example galaxy s plus and motorola charm and htc desire hd which I had were like this. But yet I haven't received any errors from my nexus s

  • This phone is garbage -STAY AWAY- do not buy this phone. I had major problems with it straight out of the box and according to samsung this is 'normal'. The phone does it's own thing whether I push a button or not, programs activate by themselves and usually while I am in the middle of doing something else. It freezes up and then crashes. It is also loaded with intrusive software that broadcasts your information over the internet.

  • My first android and i made the right choice! Pure google experience ;)

  • I love the mobile :-) , but only one thing that disappointed me is there is no FM radio on this. :(

  • please help me. i am confused. what should i buy samsung Galaxy S Plus(2011) 1.4 gz Cpu VS Google Nexus one I9023 wich is cheeper? galaxy s plus i think is more performant but i am also interested in future updates such as icecream sandwich

  • Samsung Galaxy is better than Nexus. It has the best display among all the mobiles that are available on this earth. Go for Samsung Galaxy S. Its worth.

  • i9000 Galaxy s all the way!!!

  • Hello, has Nexus i9023 and i9020 same audio chip?? Thanks

  • Hey man this device don't have dlna......so correct the specification .....

  • I own this phone & my brother has Galaxy S I9000. This phone is more futuristic than the Galaxy S. I would say that the Galaxy S has a better hardware surely but this one is always updated one step ahead of any other Android device.Software is twice better than the Galaxy S. The Browsing & internet is amazingly fast on this phone.If one is ready to compromise with the super AMOLED screen than This one is a better option & yes don't forget to see The HTC Incredible S which is much better than both SAMSUNG devices.But again Android versions won't be so updated in that like Nexus S. GO for Incredible S..U'll be much Happier.

  • hi we have this phone. you go to sdcard memory with file manager .in this location you see bluetooth folder.

  • hi everybody! I bought this phone 2 month ago!bu now i have a problem! I cant find the place where bluetooth files go!is there any body who can help me with this?

  • which one is better,, galaxy s i9000 or google nexus-S ??? I have my B'day Next week..n need to decide which one to buy.. Nexus got flash but Galaxy doesn't have flash... Alo many shops say Nexus is not more in market as its production has been closed and in Delhi it costing Rs.23000/- where as Galaxy S costing Rs. 22500/- PLEASE ADVISE ....

  • Could someone tell me what is the difference between EU and Standart versions ? Is that only about default language ??? In Germany EU version of NS costs minimum about 285 Euro. But Standart are sold for 10 Euro expensiver !. Does somebody know ?

  • which one is better,, galaxy s i9000 or google nexus-S ... really confused about which one to buy... plz help...(prices of both of them is almost same in my country.)

  • I notice there is no pinch zoom for reading SMS and it dose not have SMS reader or recent contact to forward SMS. could not find how to increase the fond. then there was a problem in connecting it with Outlook. the phone by itself is good but for a new user there should be a advanced manual with it which tells you how to download applications from the NET and the site. can anyone guide me pls.. Thanks

  • Download following to optimized your Nexus S 1. MOBO 2. Equalizer 3. Go Message 4. Astro File Utilities 5. Killer Apps This will help you optimize your phone

  • I'm using this phone for 1 week now very fast, touch screen is very sensitive, nice picture and video, I download MOBO and Equalizer for better sound. My only problem is the battery drain fast when using internet but if only calls it will last at least two days. Overall very good phone and Android ROCKS!

  • no it can

  • hey i wanna know is there is a RAM in this phone??

  • This phone is really great supports most the android applications. I bought this I9023 for 20K in bangalore(India). Also there is a big problem it doesn't has a Zoom facility. I got to know about it after buying it. but the photo calrity is awesome as it is a 5MP camera. some times i see the GPRS connectivity is lost and it doesn't come up by default until and unless you reboot the handset. It a great phone apart from the above disadv.

  • I don't think so. The nexus s I9023 have 512 mb ram. 167 mb from them are reserved for GPU(Graphics processing unit) another 345mb are available for user applications and for android OS.

  • Does anyone else confirm that this phone has 256 MB RAM !? It is so strange to downgrade the ram, it totally changes the taste of gingerbread !

  • @eshantorres download MOBO player from android market its pretty decent

  • can anyone tell me how to play a HD video in NS?

  • Just to update the specifications regarding RAM. Note that this one has got 256 MB of RAM as against the SuperAMOLED Version that has 512 MB of RAM. Both less in by todays standard. 2GB of RAM and 64GB of storage is a minimum along with a Quad core processor of course. Google Nexus S I9023 is way out of date today. Nexus Prime will have a quad core processor and a minimum of 64GB Storage. I have herd that they are going to use 128GB as standard, but we shall see when it comes out.

  • you are wrong...your nexus s hve some problem...my nexus s is really pretty phne..and most powerfull

  • Phone is really superb, there is no doubt in it. Allthe applications are awesome but the battery backup is insufficient to the downside. If you can convince on battery backup, this is the damn good phone

  • this is updated. there are two versions of Nexus S.

  • it has notifications: sms, calls, chat, email, weather alerts, and many more... what are you talking about?

  • nexus s is a comlecate cell phone i think when u create a cell phone u start from the most important like sms notification missed calls emails and naxus s does not support any kind of notification....if can u carry a phone who doesnt have alerts to notify you thats fine simply i cant!!

  • There are 2 versions. I9023 has the Super LCD and the I9000 model has the Super Amoled display.

  • I think this is not Updated. The type should be S-AmoLED not S-LCD.

  • I am now using this phone and I think it great. You can download a lot of apps from the market. User-friendly and reasonable price!

  • Great technology at an affordable price...

  • awesum phone ever....itz the i phone killer

  • download "noled" an app dat notifies you for your smss mails missd calls etc

  • Hi All, I am looking for an application for my Nexus S which provides notifications (missed call / SMS / Email, etc) on the lcd screen as this phone doesn't have any notification LED. Need help in locating such an app. I know it is available however I can't re-collect the same. Please help people!!

  • that's the thing from the past... 3G video calls before goes to different type of video streaming. But for phones nowadays, they all go to internet so you really have to use an app for video calling like Gtalk or Skype or Qik. This Nexus S phone (or any other new phones) doesnt work like the old video call before, similar to Nokia from the past.

  • Which one is better Samsung Google Nexus S (I9023) or Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) ??

  • how make video calls over 3G? not Gtalk or any other chat video service!!

  • thanx for the reply please share your expreience, explorations n apps you fine useful as m a new user to android does any media player has that 'eye candy' like the ones on ipod n8 galaxy s etc when they are placed in landscape mode any such good looking media player in android market??

  • Fantastic and Fabulous mobile I have been using it since a week and explore every part of phone its superb build worth for the money - handset. I compared it with all phone with my budget and got it which was best decision i made. battery works very well it gives low backup in 3g,best backup on 2g and great backup if not using DATA connection.

  • how long does the battery lasts ?

  • how to vdeo call buddy?? how is the battery life?? wats are the weak points of the fone??

  • yah m using this device frm last one month. phone is awesome no doubt. problem is the battery. it gets hot fast when I connect charger and work in internet too. so to cool down the temperature I had to switch off the phone and then I remove the batteries. gaming is superb, multitasking is good and video play back is also awesome on pure HD. u can make video calls in 2g network as well via google talk, tango, etc no need for 3g in video calling. keyboard is good works with self dictionary. display is superb I can't find the difference between slcd and s amoled. I think slcd is much better and clear. it hangs sometimes when u use some different live wallpapers, but all around the phone is value for money.

  • it support video call as well dude

  • Worst model i hav ever seen, 3g n front cam is available but video calling is not available. Front cam is only 4 video chat.then best way is i should go 4 i9000

  • Worst model i hav ever seen, 3g n front cam is available but video calling is not available. Front cam is only 4 video chat.then best way is i should go 4 i9000

  • Excellent phone but lacks some important features. You cannot send SMS to more than one from your contact list. FM radio is also desirable

  • yes. flipkart.com is very reliable. Got my delivery of nexus s in 3 working days

  • I am using this phone with Android OS, v2.3.4 last 2 weeks. Even at max, it's to low . Is there anyway to increase volume on Nexus-S ?

  • why didnt samsung put their powerful superamoled on this. considering it was release on april 2011.

  • Awesome phone.

  • Apart from screen, both i9020 and i9023 are same? The review for camera and sound added for I9020 is same for I9023?

  • No problem getting hot these powerfull smartfones have got 2008 laptop power under the hood..And laptops/computers have heatsinks and fans cooling them so Nexus S id doing fine..

  • Hi Everyone, i am using nexus s from past 3 weeks. for some reason my phone has being turning hot if i play any games or when internet is accessed. turn back to normal temperature when there is no activity on it. is any other user facing it or should i give it to the Samsung service gallery

  • Apart from screen, both i9020 and i9023 are same? The review for camera and sound added for I9020 is same for I9023?

  • Which Bluetooth Headset suitable for Google Nexus S I9023 ? Any model no ?

  • safe to buy letsbuy n flipkart both are safe for online buying

  • This smartphone of Nexus s will always get updates first.This is pure Android device and used as a reference device by the developers of Android.

  • how is the music quality of this phone ? and which one is best from google nexus s i9023 and galaxy s i9000 ?

  • Is it safe to buy this fone from Flipkart.com plz reply soon

  • a big query troubling me: will this fone recieve the OS updates in similar time as i9020 (nexus s with super amoled) cause the i9003 galaxy sl is yet to recieve gingerbread update while i9000 galaxy s super amoled version has been announced the same koz early official update release is a big factor to buy this fone

  • can u pls be more specific about the changes u made which gave u a battery backup of 20hrs?!?!.....cos even i use my phone a lot but gives me battery lyf not more than 15hrs even wit screen brightness set to least!!..... :( ....

  • well i have been usin i9023 for around 15 days now......its really good and about the GPS...its kinda hard to lock on to gps satellite but once it does i will stay for a long time without any issues!!!

  • Hi all. Hows the Compass working? I have been reading that compass issue is still not fixed. gps anyway doesnt work without a data connection with any samsung device. not sure if they are wanting to make it a standard. lol. Please let me know if the compass is working fine with your devices. thanks.

  • @deepak. As of now. NO. it doesnt support native video calling over gsm. you can only make video calls over a data connection. using apps like skype or gtalk or even tango.

  • Works fine if you download a player with a suitable codec. Search market for ArcMedia for instance.

  • it says that the fone does not plays divx/xvid formats "out of the box" this really doesnt matters koz thr are plenty of media players in android market download any of them n they are capable of playing any format (even .flv)

  • Does the phone support divx/xvid videos?? In specs its not mentioned thats y m askin..... Plz reply to my post......

  • Certainly the best unit l ever had in my life every thing is. Supper good super fast extra... on top of that I got the latest 2.3.4 android version this Co is unbeatable its too gud

  • Samsung Galaxy S is gonna be the best choice..

  • if you want a camera go www.digitalcamerainfo.com and see the Nikon D5100 review . I take it few week ago . very nice camera with superb image .

  • Guys can you help me choose one of the following gadgets? I m really confused. 1) Samsung Galaxy S (i9000) 2) Nexus S (S-LCD version) 3) Nikon D5100 4) Canon 600D 5) Canon 7D

  • It is available in lebanon ?

  • hey chek the OS if it says android 2.3.4 then you ll have the video chat feature otherwise u need to update skype is available for nexus btw how much did you buy this fone at?? did you buy it online??

  • Yes,I have tested video chat with skype.dont know about the others.

  • Hi, I bought Samsung google nexus s i9023. Could you please let me know if you come to know whether we can do video chat (not a video call ) over 3g by the third party applications like skype , Tango, Qik etc from my nexus s over 3g.? (I know that this is possible by wifi network.) Are our mobile operators like Airtel , vodafone are blocking that facility ? Thanks for your help!

  • no single core fone can play full HD videos it can play HD video maxing out at 720p it is the zippiest single core fone available if yu dont want to consider dual core fones dan it is the best option for gaming you may also consider lg optimus black for its battery saving nova display n sleek n light looks bt then its android 2.2

  • Pl inform if it can play full hd videos and games without lag.......... thinking of buying it in a day or two.

  • lg optimus black also launched at the same price watch it for ultra bright n power saver NOVA display very thin n light elegant looks frawback is android 2.2 wich its going to b upgraded as promised by lg you may also consider this fone

  • 3g video call is possible?

  • check out the benchmark performance of nexus s compared to galaxy s... it outperforms galaxy s in virtually every platform ... cpu /gpu perforannces are lot better

  • Does this phone have document viewer?

  • by far nexus is better better than i9003 16gb internal memory is enough to combat the sl version of galaxy sl morover gingerbread is the topping on the cake no confirmation of gingerbread in i9003 as yet video calling through skype is possible the biggest reason to go for nexus nexus myt not b that user frndly as it is raw google OS for the updates this is going to b the first one in the queue rest is yur take on the two fone i hope i was to sm help to you

  • google nexus

  • Which one is better Samsung Google Nexus S (I9023) or Samsung Galaxy SL (I9003) ??

  • To add to my previous post, Sunlight visibility of SC-LCD is pretty good too.

  • I got I9023 in India last week. It's proper dimensions are 124.7mm*63mm*11.5mm and weighs about 140g which is more than I9020 dimensions. Had a chance to compare with AMOLED version, SC-LCD displays text very clearly. White background(which is common in most of the websites) on SC-LCD is better than AMOLED. White is clear white in SC-LCD whereas its yellowish in AMOLED. Camera snaps taken in a software office environment looks good in AMOLED. It was dull in SC-LCD. Battery lasted for around 24hrs on a single charge with some texting(15-20 sms), browsing(EDGE, 1 hour), Video play(1 hour), call (1 hour), Game(half an hour).

  • Does anybody who has used the Indian version of this phone come up with the GPS performance of the same. As I read in a lot of forums that the phone does not lock onto gps satellites, and even if it does, it's only for a short period. Any update on the same would be highly appreciated and as soon as possible. I am very keen on buying this phone, people! Regards

  • Hi I am india I have nexus s lost week i update 2.3.4 but no video call on 3g network any one help me

  • Hi I am india I have nexus s lost week i update 2.3.4 but no video call on 3g network any one help me

  • been using it for a month now..once you select all the right options and make the changes the battery life becomes significant. im a heavy user and my batt lasts around 20hrs. so may day goes by very easily.

  • Its a freaking awesome phone...using it for month freaking fast and scarily accurate voice recognition completely replaced my laptop at home....batterly lasts for 1n a half day includes talking on the phone for about a hour a day chatting gaming for an hour in total messaging often browsing for about 2hours or slightly less in total using wifi.........heavy usage still does not force me to charge at night before sleeping it lasts on standby all night and then I charge about an hour later after reaching office......not using 3g though.....awesome gaming quality.....overall the phone is state of the art....:) \m/ worth the price

  • Thanks so much for this important info mate...

  • Easy fix for the battery problems, update youe OS... follow this link

  • Just don't use Widgets that require internet and switch off wifi and 3g when not in use, it easily goes uptown 8 hours of heavy usage after that.

  • yess there is a battery issue.. the battery discharges even when the phone is not in use.. i have purchased the handset on 30th april and just within 5 days i have given it in the service centre regarding the battery issue..

  • So there's a battery issue with this phone, The specs sounds appealling to me, 2.3 adroid, 5 mega pixel camera and a super 1gig processor, Id really like this Fone but the thing that stop me from buying this Fone is the battery issue, any suggestion on how to increase the battery life of this Fone, your suggestion is highly recomended thanks

  • the phone is great. the screen is very nice. the screen should be super clear lcd, not super lcd.

  • any one can help me to know. . how to increase the battery life.

  • Have been using this for last 5 days. Superb phone. - SLCD is great and bright pictures & video quality. Andriod 2.3 is great and fast. - Connectivity is very fast and opens videos on a click. - Enjoying net experience be it social networking or you tube videos. Instant play. - No FM but you can download frm Andriod market. - No expandable memory. 16 GB inbuilt. Overall experience of the phone great and thats what andriod environment needs. Go for it!!! Else wait for Samsung Galaxy SII...

  • overaal best handset

  • fm is not need bro

  • S i9023 has Super Clear LCD witch is thicker than i9020, that should reflect in the specs(gsmarena is wrong). I own i9023. Before buying this you should know that it doesn't have FM radio implemented (the chip is there but no driver and software), you can't use the front camera for video call over the gsm network (just video call over internet) maybe in the future the dialer will support it. Also echange integration doesn't have GAL(global address book) implemented right, it only returns email address and no other information.

  • You people have got to start reading more attentively. The one which you want to buy and the one which has released in India is i9023, Nexus S which has Super LCD, the one which is on google.com/nexus is i9020, Nexus S with Super Amoled.

  • like it

  • Who can confirm it it's s LCD or amoled ? Ga arena said it's s LCD . Google.com/nexus said it's amoled . Big ?

  • this is a BEAUTIFUL phone!! i picked it up today and i don't have any gripes about it. "noled" is a great app to get that blinks a notification on your screen, kind of like a screen saver on a computer ... so that takes care of not having a dedicated led notification on the phone itself. i actually like it better. poor camera and video recording? the phone takes great shots in normal settings. i'm a professional photographer and i see no problems with it... it's a phone! if i'm going somewhere and i know that a camera would come in handy then i bring my camera along. if i'm out and about and think "oh hey, that's cool", then i'll snap a shot. i'm not blowing the photos up to put in a big frame on the wall. if that's your thing then you will be waiting a loooong time for a phone like that. pixel distortion and color over/under saturation is pathetic on every phone when you start enlarging them. i don't see the need for everyone going after these 8 and 12 (even a 16 in the works) mega pixel phones. the phone is blazing fast, no custom ui bullcrap to worry about. it's phenomenal. if you're thinking of getting it, do! adobe flash 10.2 downloaded from the market is great too. love it, love it, love it.

  • d s-lcd screen for indian market jst lyk galaxy sl

  • In some countries it has a Super AMOLED and in some countries it has S-LCD...

  • Starking30: You can trying in any of the Samsung showrooms. The price in India is around 26900 INR Also you can try ordering from www.Univercell.in

  • see them on wikipedia

  • think nexus s has amoled and not lcd screen, checked in google/nexus

  • one of the best phone. i love this phone........

  • can anybody tell me the differnce between Andriod different versions

  • this phone isn't just for the india market. here in europe/austria there are only i9023 sold by the providers. impossible to get a real i9020.

  • cn sm1 tl me wht z d price f thz phn!!! iz it 22k

  • Read: S-LCD is cheaper than amoled, and is half the price of s-amoled. Thats why almost all budget phones have LCD (my galaxy ace has lcd), while high end phones have s-amoled. But from my experience, LCD is good already, and you can read text even in strong sunlight. LCD also has fewer bugs (discoloration, yellowing, corner fringing) than s-amoled.

  • You could not be more wrong, processor, camera, screen size are all different, they are totally different phones.

  • i think there are no difference in lg optimus one and nexus s only screen size

  • is there ram on the I9023 because if u check the specs it says only 16gb rom no mention f ram. but on the I 9020A/T it says 512 mb ram?

  • Could you please highlight from where you bought this phone

  • The S-LCD version of the Nexus S is already on sale in Romania. It was launched by Vodafone a month ago. See here:

  • lot of diffs are there. Ginger bread , which is not officially announced for I9000 yet. No radio, No notification options in the phone(for quick use of recently used applications) I9000 has radio and extraordinary screen and clock/CPU speed is too good. all together I prefer buying Galaxy S to nexus. But this is very classy look phone . those who prefer buying a classy look phone, can go for this one ..

  • The only different I can tell is screen. They changed the screen from Super AMOLED to S-LCD.

  • whats the diff between this one and the other Google Nexus S phone by samsung, seems like the only noticable diff is the lower battery life on this phone... ???????

  • hi i want to buy this phone can you reply with the address in bangalore and please tell me the price

  • I bought my Nexus S yesterday in Bulgaria. So far it is perfect I am yet to test battery life but as far as performance goes I have no complaints. The phone is superb.

  • nice

  • Wtf is wrong with google/samsung no sd slot?

  • This phone is counter part of Samsung Galaxy M110S, nice features but this gadget will not replace my samsung galaxy on hand..any idea how much this phone cost? Thanks peeps..

  • I got my Nexus- S in Bangalore on the 1st of Apr i.e. some 4 days ago and loving it. It is there in the markets.

  • The phone is on sale for 25.5 in Mumbai (Alfa, Vile Parle). Saw it yesteday. Am act confused between this and Galaxy S. The latter has been a phone I've been coveting since a long time; and when am on the verge of buying it,Samsung launches this as well. But I still think Galaxy S will be a better buy than this for 2k less. I think ill wait it out, wait for the user reviews to come out on this before buying a phone.

  • This fon launched in India , chk Indian website 4 it.

  • It is already out there in the market. Best buy @24k... However, I hope it drops a little with release of S2.. but it is definitely few months away.

  • why such inferior and substandard device for indian market? I mean why can't they put super amoled screen for this phone? I didn't like the way samsung has done justice for this phone...common guys who would want to buy a phone with s-lcd...when already a better one is already available.: Rep

  • Nice....! and silky mobile its greate. when be at launched my friends all guys waiting for this model. cam is excellent.............

  • SLCD and SAMOLED are equally good. ASMOLED has better black and contrast colors while little bad at text quality. SLCD is way better in terms of text reading. both are good wrt to USAGE.

  • When be at launch iam waiting for this model performance its really good and excellent

  • is the super LCD a drawback ??? is it worth 28k ???

  • Why samsung is selling at 30,000 INR if I can easily but it @ 27,000 from various online store with super amoled screen.. indians are not fool who will buy at higher rate with s-lcd .samsung sucks...actualy samsung is known for bad firmware upgradation history means no firmware upgrade..thats by they selling at higher price because its a google phone with upcoming firmware upgradation..once again samsung proved it they have cheap mentality...:(

  • Interested? Only 2100 for UMTS, not 850/1900 and 900/2100?

  • i m waiting for nexus s coming to delhi..but no advertisment anywhere stating that its in the market..just waiting for many many months makes me tired now

  • why such inferior and substandard device for indian market? I mean why can't they put super amoled screen for this phone? I didn't like the way samsung has done justice for this phone...common guys who would want to buy a phone with s-lcd...when already a better one is already available.:

  • vanilla android rocks.........

  • why only a 2100mhz hsdpa?

  • New nexus

  • it will release to full a price range of nexuses. Overall samsung knew the formula : high performance + android + big sreen(amoled)

  • This is already available in India for inr28k ($600) Check out the link below..however for me that's not a value for money phone..when galaxy sl is available for 20k...y sulfur I pay extra 8k just for led flash and gingerbread(no samoled as well)...would go for sl..or wait for sgs 2011 or even sgs2..bad pricing Google..

  • This model is allready available from 1 mounth. Is almost same with i9020 but not AMOLED. Is not availlable JUST for India market, is availlable for severall countries: Poland, UK, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary......

  • this phone is cool and very cute

  • only change led to lcd

  • still the same old 480x800 screen resolution. . . . :(

  • I think that S-AMOLED display is one of the key features attracting customers. Without it Nexus S doesn't have much to attract customers (especially considering too high in my opinion price). Without S-AMOLED Nexus S becomes just one of the many plastic Android devices currently available on market. Fast phone on good hardware, but... all plastic body, no gorilla glass, no S-AMOLED, no FM radio. Too many compromises for such an expensive device. Don't you think so?

  • no amoled,no memory slot,no dual processor samsung must make some changes in this phone

  • I have the Nexus S i9020... its has the Super AMOLED screen which is 1 of its key features .. n reason for S LCD in this version is shortage of S AMOLED.... overall its a great phone.. using it for last 1 month... cheersss

  • Can you curve LCD??? The original Google Nexus S had a curved screen. Is the screen not curved on this model?

  • This phones comes with Super Amoled Capacitive Touch Screen.

  • Only WVGA video recording, too overpriced, not scratch resistant, and no memory card slot,...

  • It is actually true it is coming with a price tag of Rs.30xxx.

  • It isn't April fool and sell in Thailand now.

  • Its April Fool

  • Out dated features :/

  • One the wast phone very very poor battery don't this phone

  • why not Super amloled samsung? crap

  • i would wait for samsung galaxy s ii
