Google Nexus S by Samsung user reviews

DJtricky 21 November 2012

Good: Everything. Resilient, rich in functionality and nice to look at.

Bad: Nothing

Comment: After reading all the reviews I went with the Google Nexus S with a two-year plan from Orange/Car-phone Warehouse. First got this in January, 2011 and I am still loving it. Best phone I have ever had and now becoming nervous with the forthcoming upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy III courtesy of my two-year upgrade deal.

Good: Great screen, decent performance, updated OS to Ice cream sandwich and it flys. Have had for 12 months and very happy with it.

Bad: Battery life isn't great if used heavily, for a "pemium" android phone it's a bit plasticky

Good: Great Service, Great Wifi service, battery life

Bad: Android keyboard stops working

Comment: Loads of features and I love the sensitive touch screen. Using Android Market has been amazing and it's ability to connected to my laptop makes putting my music on it extremely simple.

The bad part is that I sometimes have to restart it because the touch screen keyboard stops working or it starts to stall in loading.

All in all it is the best phone I've had yet. I was able to buy a simple case when I bought it which has saved it from a couple of drops off tables and the drops have not affected the phone at all. Like all Samsung phones I've had, it is very durable. I do love this phone and will make it last.

Good: Stylish, fast, still feels cutting edge even though it is almost 12 months old.

Bad: Occasional freezes, lack of a zoom function, cannot switch off email notifications

Comment: First off: I love this phone. It has changed my life for the better, and it seamlessly connects into all the Google services that I use on a day-to-day basis, which is something that you probably don't get with other non-Google phones.
The battery life is nowhere near as bad as people are saying on other posts. I can 2-3 days out of it with moderate use, and a whole day with heavy use (i.e. SatNav, internet searches, phone calls etc).
In terms of connectivity it's great -- you can use it as a wireless hotspot or as a tethered device, which has come in extra handy when travelling with my laptop.
The few downsides of this phone (see above) are by far outweighed by its good sides, and now that the new Nexus Prime is coming out, the Nexus S will start to be very good value I'd imagine.

Comment: the google nexus is a very stylish handset and has many amazing features such as great call quality and a very good camera but on the downside the software has a few problems and also very low grade plastic body. overall i think it deserves a rating of 4 star

Good: gingerbread, fast, apps, slick soft touch screen.

Bad: battery life, screen, radio, accessories

Comment: Love this phone, when it works!!! Have sent it back to samsung to be repaired as their seems to be an intermittent fault with the touch screen, and it decided to have a sytem re-boot and wiped my memory!
BUT apart from that I love this phone, its easy to use, even for a non phone geek like me, you are not stuck with Itunes and can pretty much download anything, its operating system is. Built in Navigation system is pretty good, used it a couple of times when my satnav can't locate a road.
There doesnt seem to be any accesories available in any phone shop for the phone, would love to have a blingy case like the i phone has.

Good: Great handset (when in one piece), far more configurable that Iphone

Bad: Poor Sumsung Service, Poor app quality

Comment: Hopefully someone from Samsung/Google will read this and realise that taking 6 weeks and counting to send out a replacement screen is a dire level of customer service. The reason the screen cracked was because I couldn't get a case (none had been made for it that fitted) and it subsequently exploded when dropped.

Early adopters are the ones who make or break your multimillion dollar product so you might want to try not sticking it to them.

A lot of the apps are about as stable as a North Korean dictator as well so that's something Google need to address. This will probably be a rival for the iphone when it's mature but at the moment I'm not appreciating being the Google Phone Guiney pig
