Nexus S struts its Gingerbread curves for Mr Blurrycam


Google/Samsung’s well-leaked follow up to the Nexus One — the Nexus S — has once again shown up in some super-secret spyshots, this time, however, we’re treated to a close-up look at its curved display.

Yes, those wonderful folks over at XDA have managed to get their hands on some top-secret pics of the upcoming device, including the yet-to-be-announced Android Gingerbread release.

Notably, they confirm that Gingerbread will, indeed, be v2.3 of Android. Although we pretty much knew that already.

Their tipster also confirmed (well, sort of) some of the specs, to quote:

  • ArmV7 CPU – Could be Dual Core
  • Open GL ES Supported
  • 512 or 328MB Ram (Not 100% known)
  • 1GB or 2GB Internal Memory (Not 100% known)
  • 800×480 Screen Resolution
  • 4″ Screen Size
  • SuperAmoled2 – Possibly
  • 720P HD Video

So maybe “confirm” was a generous word to use here — as most of the key specs are speculation at this point — but I’m always happy to have information to go with the pretty pictures.

The most exciting part of the leak, in my opinion, is the view of that curved body. I look forward to seeing how it looks/feels in the flesh.

We’re still waiting for Google to officially announce Gingerbread, or the Nexus S, but we expect the two announcements to happen together.

XDA have a boat-load more pics of the device, including a few snaps of Gingerbread itself, co make sure you go check ’em out.
