Samsung Nexus S, R700
The Federal Communications Commission Web site is offering details to two new smartphones coming from Samsung.
The first, Phone Scoop reports, is for a device suspected to run Google’s Android OS, called the R700. It has a touch-screen, a camera, a headset jack and lock keys, and supports dual-band CDMA with EVDO 3G. Images published by the FCC show a device with rounded edges that’s dominated by its display, under which are call start and stop keys and a four-way navigational button.
The smartphone additionally is expected to feature a 4-inch Super AMOLED display, rely on a virtual keypad, run Android 2.3, or “Gingerbread,” and feature a Hummingbird processor. Also expected is support for EDGE/GPRS/HSUPA networks, GPS and of course email and Web browsing.
Another likely feature will be NFC (near-field communications) technology. At the Web. 2.0 Summit in San Francisco, Google CEO Eric Schmidt pulled an “unannounced product” from his pocket to show off its NFC capabilities, which enables devices to wirelessly communicate with a point-of-sale terminal in a store. Eventually, said Schmidt, mobile devices could “literally replace your credit card.”
With both its likely new antenna and new marketing, it’s expected that the Nexus S will enjoy a better reception than its predecessor.
