TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

It's a tricky one to rate, the Google Nexus S. A good place to start would be the obvious: it's a cracking phone, with a lot to be excited about.

SlashGear‘s review Edit

The Google Nexus One was a game-changer among Android devices, and it set a blueprint for hardware that has persisted throughout 2010. The Nexus S, meanwhile, has a tougher challenge: a balance between hardware and software that, the search giant hopes, will shape the development and feature-adoption of future Android devices from third-party manufacturers. With Gingerbread, Google has hit the reset button on a worrying trend of increasingly power-hungry handsets, and that’s something we particularly hope new devices continue.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

We love the hardware the Google Nexus S presents. Even if it is “just” an update of the Samsung Galaxy S (remember we loved that too…), the curved screen and the shapely back make the Nexus S a distinctive and comfortable phone to use. The screen is a star too and we’ve been singing the praises for Super AMOLED for a while, with the Nexus S bringing bucket loads of colour to the party.

LAPTOP Magazine‘s review Edit

When Google released the Nexus One, it was easily the best Android phone on the market and remained king of the hill for many months. Its successor is also on the bleeding edge when it comes to software, but the Nexus S' hardware is behind the curve. The lack of HSPA+/4G and 720p video recording are both pretty surprising for such a high-end handset. While Samsung and Google don't compensate enough for these drawbacks to make this phone an Editors' Choice winner, we really like the changes Android 2.3 brings to the table and especially what's coming with NFC. Whether you choose this handset over a more feature-packed device such as the similarly priced myTouch 4G really comes down to how much you desire an unadulterated Android experience.

Macworld‘s review Edit

When Google and Samsung team up to make a phone to debut the latest and greatest version of Android, we bring high expectations. The Nexus S isn't a disappointment, but it isn't groundbreaking either. While the gyroscope and NFC are welcome additions, I can't help criticizing the companies for overlooking T-Mobile's next-generation network and for oversights like a dedicated camera key and expandable memory. But it isn't a bad phone by any means; the display is gorgeous, Android 2.3 has some cool features, and call quality was excellent.

CNET Reviews‘s review Edit

The Samsung Nexus S gets points for its slick design, satisfying performance, and authentic Android user interface. But outside of the new Gingerbread OS and a faster processor, it doesn't offer as many new features as we had hoped.

Pocket-lint‘s review Edit

It’s easy to like the Nexus S, but we’re sure it will have its critics. It hasn’t leaped forward with screen resolution or processor speed, but that might not matter. The screen is an absolute star. It doesn’t have the resolution that the Apple iPhone 4 does, but we’re also quite glad that Google didn’t just step into a stats battle with its Cupertino rivals. Remember too that newer generation processors are more powerful than previous hardware clocked at the same speed, and the Android operating system is getting more refined all the time.

www.trustedreviews.com‘s review Edit

From a hardware point of view, the Google Nexus S is basically a Samsung Galaxy S with a couple of minor tweaks and a curved screen, and ultimately in this regard is a bit of a damp squib. It's still among the best Android phones out there but doesn’t really move things on in leaps and bounds. However, combined with the improvements in Android 2.3 Gingerbread, it makes for possibly the best phone on the market right now. It's super fast, packed with features, and easy to use. Just a shame it's so pricey.

TechCrunch‘s review Edit

The bottom line is this. If you are an iPhone user this isn’t going to make you switch. If you’re an Android user you will want this phone more than any other. If you’re currently neither, we recommend that you go with the Nexus S. What you lose with the slightly less impressive screen and iOS’s slightly slicker user experience you will more than make up for with the Nexus S’s ability to actually make phone calls that don’t drop and Google’s exceptional Navigation and voice input applications. The fact that the phone is unlocked and can be used abroad with other carriers is also a very big plus.
