I have long wondered what smartphone should I buy. Because of the high resolution display of course I flirted with the iPhone. However, the AMOLED display in the Nexus S has its own advantages. The disadvantages to the iPhone are quickly enumerated: The battery does not last as long, the camera is bad and the interface often jerky synonymous with Android 2.3.4. That bothers me, however everything very little. Apps Start extremely fast and also respond to inputs delay total. Whether it then sometimes a bit jerky when scrolling falls really not so significant. That the battery is also much less of a problem than I thought. It automatically uses the Nexus many times and you can set up a good mood to put the phone in different situations in the socket, for example. When the morning at breakfast contributes the music. Or is it to be stuck in the machine when you have draufkopiert a new file, what it is charging way.
I have ultimately opted for the Nexus, because I was expecting the iPhone with so many restrictions by Apple. I knew that I just can fill via USB Mass Storage with music videos and the Nexus. In reality, Google is still much further to the end customer. It seems to me when Google scissors precious little to protect the interests of any third parties and providers and instead provides the user first. This will already so going on that the Nexus its 3G connection problems can enable both via USB and via WLAN, without the need to install additional software on the computers would be necessary, because just open standard protocols. If you draufkopiert music on the Nexus, you have this complete freedom of choice, where and in what order it happens. The already installed music app simply finds the songs and displays them in their own order. It works just the way you think. I also do not feel that there are too few apps. So far, I have always found what I was looking for and had thereby rather the problem, so to have to decide many options me under.
With the display, I am extremely satisfied. I had previously read reviews that the AMOLED display a lower color resolution attested (ie Stages in gradients). I'm extremely sensitive and can only completely deny! There are no recognizable stages. On the contrary: I had previously in the store may try the SuperLCD variant and there were in the gentle color gradients on the buttons actually steps visible. The colors of the AMOLED I find great and not too colorful. I can not say that there would be no streaks (keyword response times, which are supposed to be so low in OLED). When scrolling I imagine that it is not completely free from streaks, but it is so small that I can not be sure. When watching videos definitely fall on no streaks or any other artifacts. Watch videos on the Nexus S just makes a lot of fun. Until 720p even stuttering are not a problem, although it is never totally smooth. But that is also alone in mind that videos usually have a different frame rate than the display and is perfectly normal. I can recommend the Vital Player app for video's Look, he's just not right with distorted encoded videos to and when the sound is multi-channel, then the jerky video for some reason and is not to look at. Basically with the formats goes all the details in the data sheets can be safely ignored, because they only relate to the pre-installed software.
What also sometimes shows up in tests for AMOLED, is to note that the text is a bit frayed because of subpixel structure. That's right, but overall, the resolution of the display is quite fine and the text display appears to be optimized to me on the screen. I would at least have expected significant fringe, but in reality, the text reads totally good on the Nexus. In Gege Neil, it outweighs the impression that the typeface is very homogeneous and balanced.
Perhaps a note to Android versus iOS: We now have a iPad 2 at home and so I can say that my Android by the operator her much better like. The most important thing that there is a kind of View-stack. No matter what you do, it remembers Android and if you time just reading his emails on the notifications, you can take the back button repeatedly to go, without ever having seen the homescreen in between. The same applies when you open a link from an email out in the browser: With the Back button you're back in the email. In iOS apps need for something have an extra button on the surface, but mostly they do not have it and the service is just not consistent in this point and you have more than homescreen back into other apps. Because of the menu button is always white at Android, how to get the program settings or extra features without having to interrupt what you is doing and with every app it works totally equal.
All in all it was exactly the right phone for me. Meanwhile, I would certainly be looked at in more detail my LG Speed, however, I would expect at the phone that really the battery is consumed quickly (Dual Core CPU). 1080p via HDMI-out sounds very good, but my Nexus can easily stream a 1080p video wirelessly using a Media Server app like Twonky, so one is not there really restricted.
So I can therefore recommend the Nexus specifically with AMOLED unset. It is less than it was as a telephone ultraportable General Purpose Computer with extremely well thought-out interface and super runtime.
