14 DAY TRIAL // Nexus S by Samsung, the first mobile phone to come to the market with Google's new Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system version, has been put on a pre-order status in Australia, via MobiCity.
The new device was unveiled officially last week, when Google announced it as set to land on the market in the United States on December 16th, followed by the UK, come December 20th.
While it was obvious that other countries around the world would also receive the Nexus S in the near future, nothing was announced officially on the matter until now.
However, it seems that Australian mobile phone users would have the possibility to enjoy the capabilities of this device before the end of the ongoing year, at least this is what MobiCity notes on its website.
According to the company, the first Nexus S units are expected to start shipping sometime in late December, or in early January.
The price tag at which MobiCity lists the device was set at AUD $799, supposedly $200 cheaper than the usual price tag. The company offers a 12 Month Warranty for the Nexus S.
“Nexus S is the next generation of Nexus devices, co-developed by Google and Samsung,” MobiCity notes on its website.
“The latest Android platform (Gingerbread), paired with a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor and 16GB of memory, makes Nexus S one of the fastest phones on the market.
“It comes pre-installed with the best of Google apps and enabled with new and popular features like true multi-tasking, Wi-Fi hotspot, Internet Calling, NFC support, and full web browsing.”
The specs list of Nexus S also includes support for 3G networks, a 4.0-inch touchscreen, ARM Cortex A8 1GHz processor inside, complemented by 512 MB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage.
On the back, the new mobile phone sports a 5-megapixel photo snapper with 720p/30fps video recording. Moreover, the handset comes with NFC (near field communication) support, as well as with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS capabilities.
