Nexus S Vs. Galaxy S : Picking the Right One
Do you like this story?
A lot of people has been asking on our facebook page whether to buy the Nexus S or the galaxy S.
so, here's a quick look at the specs of both the android phones to help you decide.
Nexus S
1. The Google experience phone
Sporting a curved glass oloeophobic screen, the version available in India is priced at Rs. 19,999 and comes with a Super Clear LCD display instead of the AMOLED screen of the original. That's not all.
2. Core Specs
Screen: 4 inch Super Clear LCD display, 480 x 800 pixels,
CPU: 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Hummingbird chipset
RAM: 16GB storage, 512 MB RAM
Camera: 5 MP, 2560 x 1920 pixels, autofocus
Battery: 1500 mAh
3. Pros
Camera has LED flash
NFC capabilities
It's the Galaxy S without Touchwiz, which may not be everyone's favourite UI customisation.
Since it is a Google experience phone, it's likely to get firmware updates first.
4. Cons
No MicroSD card slot
No HD video recording capabilities
5. Verdict
The ideal phone for an Android developer, but without the AMOLED screen, HD recording capabilities and expandability options, it's on a lower rung than its predecessor.
Galaxy S
1. Android Champ
This went up against the iPhone 4 when it was out last year, the Galaxy S still has plenty of appeal in it. It's down 10 grand from its launch price, and at Rs. 22,900, it's a tantalizing deal.
2. Core Specs
Screen: 4 inch, Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 480 x 800 pixels
CPU: 1 GHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor, PowerVR SGX540 GPU, Hummingbird chipset
RAM: 16GB storage, 512 MB RAM, 2GB ROM
Camera: 5 MP, 2592 x 1944 pixels, autofocus
Battery: 1500 mAh
3. Pros
Bluetooth v3.0 with A2DP
Has FM Radio
Records video at 720p@30fps, the Nexus S records video at WVGA resolution.
Supports microSD cards up to 32GB, for a potential 48 gigs of onboard storage.
4. Cons
No NFC capabilities
Camera has no LED flash
5. Verdict
That AMOLED screen that's worth the extra three thousand bucks, barring a few features, the Galaxy S has better specs than its newer variant.
