Google this week finally unveiled the Nexus S, the spiritual successor to the not particularly well-received HTC-designed Nexus One. The software giant used the forthcoming Samsung handset to promote Gingerbread, the latest version of the smartphone OS (the company talked up the forthcoming Honeycomb tablet OS yesterday, as well).
The Nexus S will be the first phone to ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The device features a four inch display, a 1GHz Humming processor, cameras on the front and rear, and 16GB of memory. There’s also that Near Field Communication embedded tag reading technology that Google has been talking up a lot recently.
The handset will be available starting December 16 through T-Mobile and in Best Buy stores. The Nexus S will run $529 without contract and $199 with. Check out a demo video of the handset after the jump.
