Operating system
The phone is the first android phone to come with the gingerbread operating system. There are some added features compared to previous android operating systems but it’s not a major overall but there are some welcome changes that many people are really appreciating.
Improvements in being able to access the apps manager from the home screen, network icons change color to let you know your status, the wifi, signal bar icons are green when connected to Google and when you’re not connected to your gray. There we just small changes but they really do add to the user experience which is important.
The Camera
It actually takes good photos even if you are in difficult lighting situations. You can see some sample photographs taken with the phone here just to give you an idea of the quality.
Video quality is really good in lighting conditions that are bright, and there are however some reports of it not performing as well in dim lighting conditions. But, I suppose this is the same as many phones.
Gaming
The graphics are quite impressive as you can see from the video below
Conclusion
Overall the Nexus S is a fantastic android phone. There are many improvements in terms of Adobe flash support on the new keyboard improves overall performance.
