Galaxy S vs Nexus S

(This post was created in the LRT station as I was stuck here for 1 hour+ during rush hour)


After a brief review and some read up in websites, here are my summary. I call up the stronger points of the device.

Samsung Galaxy S

• wifi on 2.2.1 is more stable. 
• Super AMOLED display. 
• Corning gorilla glass. 
• Better HD video recording. 
• TouchWIZ UI. 
• microSD slot. 
• FM radio. 

Nexus S

• battery life. 
• Camera with led. 
• Faster GPS lock. 
• Louder speaker/ear piece. 
• Curved surface reduce scratch. 

My opinion: 
I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S since day1 (got it on the 1week it was launched in Malaysia), upgrading from 2.1 to 2.1 update to 2.2 and later venture into custom firmware. . . I only see improvements from each update; proving that the hardware was built versatile and ready to support future releases. If you own an Sgs, nexus s will not be a logical upgrade. Missing an external sd card and I heard Malaysia market's nexus s is not AMOLED. 


I would recommend waiting for the Galaxy S II which supposed to be launched in a few days time. . .
