The Thanksgiving turkey left a little present over at XDA this evening from an anonymous source with pictures of Android 2.3, codenamed Gingerbread, and of the elusive Nexus S that Eric Schmidt was rocking at the Web 2.0 Summit earlier this month.
While taking a look at some of the pictures you will notice that the Nexus S is a slim, curved device running Android 2.3 with the 2.6.35.7 Linux kernel and a small yet unique UI redesign reported to be a part of the Android 2.3 update.
Along with the pictures, the anonymous tip XDA received also had some specs about the upcoming Nexus S:
- ArmV7 CPU
- Open GL ES Supported
- ~328MB Ram
- 1GB Internal Memory
- 800×480 Screen Resolution
- 4″ Screen Size
- SuperAmoled2 – Possibly
- 720P HD Video
Now, from what we can tell of the images and what we already know and suspect, 1) Mr.Blurrycam was the one taking the pictures, 2) Gingerbread is Android 2.3 and not 3.0, 3) this Nexus S runs on the T-Mobile network and Gingerbread and 4) the Nexus S might be arriving in the next couple of weeks with Andy Rubin speaking at the D: Dive Into Mobile event on December 6th.
Whether any of that is true, (except for the Mr.Blurrycam part, that’s kind of obvious) we don’t know yet, but believe me once we know, you’ll know.

I’m a little disappointed. only 328-512MB ram? and the back looks almost identical to the cheap piece of plastic they threw onto the t-mobile galaxy s. Considering it’s a galaxy s like phone, will it also have the slow micro sd card for internal storage?
I’m gonna stick to my sexy nexy “1″ for now, I don’t see big difference here, waiting for an HTC dual core device”"”"”"”not samcrap”"”"”"”"” plastic

Does Samsung not realize that the 7-month-old HTC Incredible has equal specs in almost every way to this? More RAM, same proc, same camcorder, same resolution, more eMMC. All this has is SAMOLED(2) and a 4″ screen. The Nexus One blew everyone away in specs, but this looks like a thinly veiled excuse to sell more of the Galaxy S.
I’ll just wait for the Nexus Two when Honeycomb comes out. :]
Nexus 2 (Honeycomb) is on its way. Don’t fool urself with this phone. Spec’s are not all that good. Just wait for it.
A Nexus 2 will never come. Eric Schmidt himself said so. Google it.
