the nexus app goes slower because its on animations you have to turn off the animations and then they will go at the same rate. i know this because i have the google nexus myself..its the best phone that i had
I had an Evo Shift 4g, touchscreen stopped working correctly (some bullsh*t hardware defect) Sprint offered me a choice of a new free shift or a free Nexus. SO happy I went with the Nexus.
I have both of these and prefer the nexus s 4G EXCEPT for poor signal issues. Im actually on my 2nd EVO...it took a hard drop and glass screen shattered. Trying not to find out how the Nexus screen durability compares =P
Im gonna be honest the evos battary life sucks so bad and the second thing the its a very delicate phone i drop it and the camara broke so if ur a guy that is gonna be droping it its not gonna work out
I am going in to Best Buy on Tax Free Weekend in Boston to buy NEXUS S. I would of had to pay $34.oo in Taxes if I bought the day before. The customer service woman said she had only 1 left and it had the Fingerprint Resisted Coating on it already...GET THIS SHE SAID I HAD TO PAY $21.00 FOR IT...I SAID DID I ASK FOR THAT? I HAVE SCREEN PROTECTORS AT HOME. So the other sales guy said we can take it off. SMH...They tell me they don't work off Commission...Point's they do...SAME SHIII!!!
Please try to test more accurately next time. Actually launch the apps at the same time. For example, hold down both icons and then let go at the same time. Also, the two devices obviously have much different interfaces, so it's unfair to test speeds. Instead, test two devices with the same UI. These points I have made would make a good comparison in my opinion.
@MultiToaster123 Look at the date man. This is not the ONE with 4G this is the one that was release to Tmobile with 3G only. This video was created Dec 23, 2010. The Nexus s (4G) for sprint came out in April 6, 2011, this video is from Dec 2010.
So NO, this nexus s don't have 4 G. It's the Tmobile version, noob.
@MultiToaster123 You Noob, you where replying to when the reviewer that said "the Nexus has 3G connectivity" then you wrote "the nexus does have 4g connectivity". You are outdated and so is your brain cells. Go us a Defibrillator on your brain. It may save you.
The Evo is just so much more sexy than the Nexus S. The E4G is so Sexy its sexier than the 3VO. I still love my 3VO though. The Nexus 1 was a sexy phone also.
the nexus and the evo 4g are pretty fast so this video is out of context so it wont matter you'll get your moneys worth with both phones me personally i like the evo better
@iLEGITsNiPeR10 The Nexus S GSM version is 3G.....The Nexus S 4G is only available on Sprint which added a Wimax radio to it. This video was uploaded in Dec of 2010 before Sprint got their own version.
The Nexus S has a better looking screen. It has better contrast. The Evo has greyish blacks and the colors look washed out but I like the design of the EVO better which looks more expensive. Oh well, one can't have everything :(
the nexus just looks a lot smoother and better then the evo and it looks like it just runs smoother all around better then the evo and the screen looks a lot cooler on the nexus when the screen is turned off on the nexus then the evo and you can tell that it has better graphics.... so my pick would obviously be the nexus s for sure!!
no offense dude, but you have the evo on wifi and you can clearly see it at
7:25.... thats the reason why the nexsus was faster. the 4g on the evo is way faster than what your portraing it out to be. evo for the win!!! lol please dont block my comment :(
Lol woow UR all funn as he'll nexus is the first !!!!! Evo is sick but the nexus is legit !!! Evo 3d is dope but that'd for evo users I have the evo annd am gonna trade it in for the nexus it's a beast and in 2momths trade nexus for the 3d yeaaBUDDY. But DNT knock on the nexus the first!!!!!!!!!
I just traded in my HTC evo for this phone the nexus 4g... I flippin hate this phone. I want my EVO back so bad but stupid sprint wont let me trade it back.. This phone is completely empty and has no installed personalization or customizations to choose from. Its a pure Google phone with nothing in it and the colors are boring and ugly. I miss HTC sense and all the options the EVO has to make it your own phone.. Anyone want to trade? lol
for the sprint nexus s 4g, they shouldve take the spot for the sim card and change it to a space for a micro sd card since the original nexus s doesnt have a sd card slot.
@mrbluedragon52 ya go to sprints site! the first at add is the Nexus S coming soon!! ill still stick with EVO it just looks the best...and HTC has better build quality i just with sprint could get the Desire HD dammit its like a super EVO ha
Typical yank? Why don't you go and invent something besides smart@ss comments. The US has made the very OS most of these phones use. What has your country made "LATELY" for the world to benefit off of? Ohhh right... NOTHING.... We invent a phone OS and you and your country invite STUPID Youtube comments. I bet you feel so proud of yourself. Keep talking crap about the US while we keep designing things for the future generation and world to benefit from.
just wanted to say that the Nexus S does Not have rubberized plastic on the the back 1:31 its smooth plastic with no rubberized feel like the evo.....Great videos tho i like how detail oriented you are very cool :)
is it really necessary for manufactures to mix up the hardware buttons on their phones...isn't android fragmented enough without making it more so....I mean what was the point of that !!!
@SuperMachead1 What does buttons place at different locations has to do with fragmentation? Stop following what others keep saying or steve job and think for yourself. Power buttons,headphone jacks and usb port get moved around all the time,is that fragmented as well?.
@BleakVision they did however have a go at flash, that is more than can be said for wp7 and ios. they are not saying its better than a computer browser at handling flash but simply android is the mobile platform that handles flash best
You can't compare the sense gallery and messaging apps vs. the stock ones and call it a performance comparison test! Its simply a user experience comparison, nurture phones are opening different apps. That's like me saying that my netbook is more powerful than your gaming rig because it opens chrome faster than yours opens black ops. -_-
I have an Evo, while i really like the Nexus S and it's openness for dev It is not a huge leap in hardware to make the switch. The Nexus One was a huge evolution and i am disappointed that this did not carry the name as well.
the nexus app goes slower because its on animations you have to turn off the animations and then they will go at the same rate. i know this because i have the google nexus myself..its the best phone that i had
