You may think that after the U.S. and UK, the next place where Google and Samsung will launch the Nexus S is Canada or perhaps Germany. You would be wrong. Their next destination is South Korea, which as you know is Samsung’s home country.
Starting at some point in February, interested South Koreans will be able to grab the Android 2.3 Gingerbread runnin’ smartphone from SK Telecom. It is said that the carrier is in the final stages of testing the device on its network, though we’re not sure what that exactly means — after all, we’re basically talking about an NFC-enabled version of the Samsung Galaxy S which is already available through SKT.
Whatever… In addition to the mentioned NFC capability, the Nexus S also rocks a 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, HSPA and WiFi connectivity, 16GB of internal memory, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, GPS, an array of “standard for Android” sensors and a microSD memory card slot.
Price, in case you wonder, is still unknown…
