The Sprint Nexus S 4G is ready for its ICS treat which will be rolled out to prospective buyers over-the-air. The download is scheduled take place automatically on applicable phones.
With the inclusion of the Android 4.0 upgrade, an overhauled user interface along with a host of other features can be availed of. One of the highlighted attributes of the software is Android Beam for more convenient sharing of content. There are also many other refreshments such as Google Plus integration, a reworked Gmail app and so on.
As for the handset itself, we’re already familiar with all of its hardware specifications. Its display is a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen with 480 × 800p resolutions. All the technology is packed into a chassis measuring 4.88” x 2.48” x 0.44” and weighing 4.6oz. Additionally, the smartphone gets its steam from a 1500mAh battery that offers almost 6 hours of talk time.
Duly powered by a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor, this phone supports Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR. Notably, it provides about 16GB internal memory for hoarding files and multimedia content. Even though Sprint says this piece of hardware should be a worthy pick for anyone who wishes to experience the latest Google apps and OS updates as quickly as possible, we’re not buying it considering that the OS upgrade has only come in now.
This Sprint smartphone is the carrier’s first Android handset to receive the ICS upgrade. The software update is presently being rolled out and all customers with the Nexus S 4G should receive it by next month.
