Samsung Nexus S Review
The unlocked version of Samsung Nexus S is available for sale after 16th December in US.
Nexus S is equipped with a strong "core", 1GHz Hummingbird processor from Samsung's own. Together with the built-in 16GB storage, the operation of Nexus S is in no way inferior to other top-intelligent devices such as iPhone 4. Just like Iphone, no microSD expansion is allowed. Unsurprisingly Nexus S has a separate graphics processing unit.
Since Nexus S is Samsung branded, the screen display won't be disappointing. 4.0" WVGA (480x800) Contour curved glass screen Display with super AMOLED Capacitive touch sensor and anti-fingerprint display coating proves the above point.
The Android 2.3 Gingerbread powered phone is a GSM Quadband Phone with Triband 3G frequency 900,2100,1700 which is compatible with most of the phone service operators. Android 2.3 supports multitasking, wifi,virtual keyboard,easier copy paste,precise multi-touch and so on. Like Nexus One,we can enjoy thoroughly Android 2.3 experience without any add-ons from Samsung.
Another feature of this phone is NFC(Near Field Communications) which is regarded as the best way to read smart objects from devices that acrries the NFC chip.
Windows Phone 7 VS Iphone iOS
Microsoft coming back in the cell phone world of Apple and Google,it is inevitable that WP7 series will be compared with the phenomenally successful iphone.
Multitask has been long waited by iOS users though the fast app switching feature in the iPhone makes it easier to switch between apps running in the background. To Microsoft, part of the Windows Phone 7 allow for multitasking, but third party applications won't have the same multitasking capabilities.
Default Search in Window Phone 7 cells is Microsoft's Bing , the decision is widely doubted and it is believed that other search engines will be added. The search in Iphone is Spotlight search in OS, Google for the web.
As to official declarance, the new Windows Phone Marketplace is the only palce for users to download or purchase applications and content. It takes time to see wheter Martketplace will be as popular as App Store. Moreover,the xbox live integration makes the phone more friendly.
Hub Strategy-the core of WP7 brings together different but related data silos,the connectivity with social networking, and wireless syncing.And it proves to make a lot sense.
