I'm hoping the next Google device will be a dual core beast and comes to sprint...then maybe ill trade in my evo...the 3d doesn't interest me much besides that qhd screen (maybe Sammy can provide a qhd super amolled plus for smiles)
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Why?

[EVO 4G General] ronnienyc:
Smaller and lighter than the Evo - these are the only reasons it interests me.

I don't care about two cores or whatnot, as the Evo and Epic are already plenty fast. I have not need for a "faster" phone.
[EVO 4G General] BrianDigital:
Why do you care what someone wants to buy.
[EVO 4G General] trancefreak64:
LOL I saw a little bit of info about the nexus s and I believe its the android 2.3.4 that Is being leaked.

already a beast and now its rooted galaxy-s-2

I'm a nookie and cant posts links :(

Looks pretty crazy!
[EVO 4G General] jdh10475:
Yeah I use ADW launcher which is almost identical interface that the nexus would be. Also the nexus has no contact integration for Facebook so your friends pics won't be in your phone book.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Sorry but using ADW is nothing like running a true aosp device.
[EVO 4G General] Rem3Dy:
Its a pure Google phone. That's my reason. It would be even better if it was made by HTC.
[EVO 4G General] sph33r:
LOL I don't think you know AOSP.
[EVO 4G General] Rakeesh_j:
Well Samsung has said they aren't interested in locking their phones unless Google asks them to. And I don't really think Google cares if the phone isn't locked down. Thus, the Nexus S GSM version has a built in user unlockable bootloader:

[EVO 4G General] Pao23:
Wasn't that software related? Something of no concern to someone running purr AOSP from Google as the software has nothing to do with Samsung?
[EVO 4G General] XxsydenxX:
Frankly, the only reason I got an evo was because i was sure i could root it and run AOSP roms on it.

Now that the nexus S 4G is around on sprint, I literally do not have any reason to keep my evo. I can have AOSP without rooting.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Yes I think they fixed that issue....but me personally I want the power in my hands so it's 3d all the way. Choice is a wonderful thing.

[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
the main reason id consider it (which I'm not) is if I were the type to keep a phone for several years. htc stops supporting phones after a year basically. nexus s will have support for years to come. I really hate that about android, it's crap that the devs are forced into supporting devices because the oem has stopped.

I wanna add the mexus s 4g to my collection 53 phone from sprint then get the evo 3d but it is boring phone all stock but looks nice thoe
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
It is faster than the Evo no doubt, but with the Evo3D coming in the summer well I just don't see the Nexus S has an option to upgrade to personally.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
I've seen Hummingbird smoke Tegra 2 in certain benchmark tests.
[EVO 4G General] vbetts:
Not a big fan of a lot of Benchmarks on android, the big reason because it's so easy to inflate benchmark scores like linpack, and even some of the Quadrant scores. Haven't seen hummingbird score higher than Tegra 2, honestly I can't really see how it's possible too much seeing that the Tegra 2 is running dual core a9 cores, and a newer and faster gpu.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
Oops! I meant Cortex A8. Sorry...been researching CPUs and I have Tegra two on the brain.

Tegra 2 still smokes Dual-Core Snapdragon though. :)
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
Noone is forced to do anything. They do it for fun so the fact that they do is a bonus so no phone with good devs is left behind. The 3d already has top notch dev behind it and they will have it better than it comes from HTC, so its not even an issue.

I have no 4G in my city as of yet, so no.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I'm with you on this. Sprint's prices and customer service are fantastic but I'm sick of these slow speeds. Anyone know what's up with their network? Hopefully a massive network upgrade is in the works...

[EVO 4G General] r916:
personal preference why do you give a crap? samsungs camera and hardware (screen, cpu, gpu) are better then the evo. I plan on getting the nexus s and giving my gf my evo and then get the evo 3d and give the ns to my gf unless she wants the evo.
[EVO 4G General] Klk450:
I plan on getting the Nexus S if i don't change carriers soon because to me the size is just right not too small or too big, the other plus to getting it is the official updates from Google and it's a whole lot smoother experience then sense to me, besides the whole 3D gimmick just looks like a stupid idea to put on a phone and that 3D button makes the phone look horrible. As to why i might switch carrier, it's simply because the 3G speeds have gotten so awful i can't do anything important with the speed i get.
[EVO 4G General] patass:
Where has this been dis-proven? I recently stopped getting service in my house when I had full strength for as long as I could remember.

[EVO 4G General] LoveisPeace2012:
The reason I would get one is for what this phone represents and that is pure Google unadultered android, the more we buy carrier branded phones the longer these carried douchebags will take to release updates unless they see there is a consumer demand for pure Google and fast android updates
[EVO 4G General] awesomeindeed:
Main reason I'm buying one is because battery life on the Evo has sucked for me for 11 months. I'm sick of needing to carry a charger or use an extended battery just to get through the day.

I personally am looking for a solid android phone that is sleek but simple looking, just the right size, and is not too flashy with features I'm not really going to use (Cameras, kickstands, hdmi, expandable sd, etc.). After using so many different UI's, would be a nice change to go back to AOSP.

It would be cool to have all the hardware that the 3D is going to have (especially the dual core), but realistically I'm just not gonna use it...So with that in mind, the nexus s seems like a better fit for me.

Started with an Evo and traded for an Epic. I wanted something new and picked up my Nexus S 4G last night and the phone is amazing.

About the evo 3d part, HELL NO the ns4g will never be better, 1.2 ghz with a adreno 220. You must be dumb to think the ns4g is better. But compared to the regular evo 4g i honestly think the ns4g is better.the evo has its lag moments and the gpu simply isnt good enough for me thats why i upgraded to the ns4g instead.

[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Um the Evo 3d is the "Evo 2"....

3D doesn't have to be a draw to you...how about the most powerful phone out when it is released?

oh well i thought i read/watched somewhere that the evo 3d was more of sister phone of the evo than its sucessor but what ever im just saying that i'd rather have an evo with a dual core (or how ever many cores we are up to by then) and same or better camera more than the ability to see somethings in 3d.

The EVO suffered from the exact same issues on launch. Reason we had numerous updates to attempt to fix the problem. So no good sir you fail. Also just saying Sense may be the best OEM launcher out there but that isn't saying much. Sense bogs down every phone it's put onto. Heck when I got time with the EVO 3D at CTIA it suffered the exact same issue until I downloaded Go Launcher on it. Sense sucks plain and simple.. It has features, good widgets, and looks good but it's performance is god awful.

[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Alright well you should also post the ones of the EVO, since it was plagued with them in the beginning. Light leakage, screen lifting, reception issues, poor battery.. The list could go further.

[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
Opinions are fine.. I just commented that no it wouldn't, because Sense is a hog and always has been. Even slowing down the EVO 3D. I would rather use Go Launcher, ADW or Launcherpro before I ever touch an OEM launcher again.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
I use ADW ex, I don't like the sense launcher either. I read there's already rumors about a new nexus phone in the works already, I do believe that this nexus s fell short of being the standard google phone, regardless of brand.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
I don't see how it fell short. It is a solid device that houses one hell of a single-core processor. Not to mention every Google person at IO had one, seems to me they love it. I own about 7 different Android devices, including the original G1. I think the Nexus S is one heck of a device. I mean if your going off paper it didn't seem much of an improvement over the N1. However it was because the Hummingbird was much faster then the 1st gen Snapdragon. It's already well known the Nexus S has sold more then the original N1. Not to mention the screen is beautiful and that hasn't changed.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
I agree that the nexus s is a fine device. The hummingbird processor was not much faster than snapdragon, the CPU performance between the two processors is very equal. Where the snapdragon fell short was the gpu, and the hummingbird gpu was best on the market.

Also, while the screen is nice and vibrant, I'm not fond of the color saturation and inaccurate color representation.
