Samsung Google Nexus S i9023, Very Flexible Device for Coders and Developers

                        
                   

          The Google Nexus S model Samsung has finally brought to India. The phone has been officially priced at Rs. 30,400. The version of the Nexus S we would get here is the i9023 with the super LCD screen and not the i9020 with the super AMOLED display.

          Samsung Nexus S was also caught running Ubuntu, making it a very flexible device for coders and developers. OS ports are going loose on this handset and as you can see in the video below MeeGo is available in its raw form, complete with Fennec, although last we heard, the browser was called Firefox 4.

         

      

          Right now, the MeeGo port for Nexus S isn’t able to do much, aside from display one of two features and it also has some color issues, so gamma might be off in the settings section.

                       

         The 4 inch display of the phone has a contour design. The phone also features an NFC chip – making it one of the very few smartphones that can boast of this capability.
