Challenge:

Nexus has introduced Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system but Apple has incorporated the latest iOS 4 in its phone. So can the Android-powered phone match up its pace against iPhone 4 which has totally revamped features. Superior 5-megapixel camera appears in both the phones with flash and auto-focus on the back, and front-facing VGA cameras - for enhanced video calling. When it comes to processors both score a draw again as they feature a 1GHz, and RAM memory along with 512MB.

The joint efforts of Google and Samsung have added an additional feature called NFC (near field communication) through which a user can read information from objects or stickers/ posters - embedded with an NFC chip. With this advantage a user can make mobile payments directly. But the question which is hung in the air; Can Nexus surpass the agility of a iPhone?

Screen/ keyboard:

When it comes to Screen or Keyboard both sets are good enough. Google Nexus S is having an 4.0-inch touch-sensitive Super AMOLED display with 480 x 800 pixels of resolution. In an aggregate It is having 384000 pixels onscreen, which works out at 233.25 pixels per inch.

Whereas Its contemporary, iPhone is having an elegant 3.5-inch touch-sensitive Retina Display which displays a higher resolution of the two – 960 x 640 pixels and an unbeatable PPI of 329.714, because of which the upper hand goes to iPhone 4

Performance:

Spontaneous agility is our next parameter which is defined by raw speediness. In this category Google Nexus S scores a lead with ARM Cortex A8 Hummingbird chip (also rated at 1GHz) over 1GHz Apple A4 processor of Apple A4.

Winner: Google Nexus S

Software:

A good software running in the interiors assures optimized efficiency of the overall system. Nexus S uses a pure-blood build of Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), unmolested by manufacturer skins like HTC Sense. Whereas, The iPhone 4 works on Apple’s iOS4 software. Since it is tough to say that OS is better than Anddroid, the edge should be given to Google Nexus S.

Winner: Google Nexus S
