Software and Performance
The Nexus S was launched with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) and later received updates up to Android 4.1.2 (Jelly Bean). The lack of upgradeability beyond this point might limit its appeal to current users who value new features and security updates, but at its release, it offered a pure Android experience. Powered by the Hummingbird chipset with a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A8 CPU and PowerVR SGX540 GPU, it managed day-to-day tasks smoothly, though intensive gaming and multitasking posed challenges due to its 512MB RAM. The absence of expandable storage could be a bottleneck for some, with only 16GB of internal memory to leverage.
