Samsung Nexus Two details surface

Crude details of heavily anticipated Samsung Nexus Two (rumored name) have surfaced online. Gizmodo reported about a source who claimed to have got hands on to the next major smartphone Nexus Two smartphone. Nexus Two isn't going to be the official name of Samsung's Android device due on Nov 8. That name is being used just because the phone is believed to be a successor of Nexus One. On Nov 8, all eyes would be set on this smartphone build Samsung and will run Google's Android 2.3 Gingerbread update. 

As per Gizmodo s Nexus Two will have a full touchscreen form factor with black, shiny glossy plastic with a curved back. It comes with front facing camera and the stock Android 2.3 Gingerbread might bring video chat feature built-in. Google engineers have been working to get video chat activated on Android. 

Taylor Kimberly, blogger at AndroidandMe blog has compiled a set of specifications that possibly would constitute as the Nexus Two s internal features. Checkout the list of specifications compiled for Nexus Two smartphone.

- Stock Google Android 2.3 (Gingerbread)- 1.2 GHz processor (mostly overclocked Hummingbird or may be different model)
- 4 inch AMOLED display (Could be Super-AMOLED version)
- 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and HD video capture, front-facing camera 
- 512 MB RAM, 16 GB internal storage
- Support for multiple carriers     
- All the usuals like WiFi, Bluetooth, 3.5 mm headset jack, etc.
- Outer casing is a mix of metal and plastic materials

Based on the above specifications, it seems like Google and Samsung have been working on one of the best Android phone available today. Why Google chose Samsung? Simple, Samsung makes the CPU and GPU chips used in majority of smartphones available today. Also the Galaxy S smartphone has proven to be one of the best high-end Android-based smartphones available today. But there's no information on whether Nexus Two will carry flash or will it be dropped just like in Galaxy S. Nexus Two would be offered by several mobile operators and won't be exclusive to just one like Sprint had bagged Evo 4G.

Purported Nexus Two is a better and powerful iteration of Nexus One smartphone with 4-inch screen and 1.2GHz microprocessor. Though both the sources state that the details are confirmed, we d still term them as speculations until we see actual listing or specification details. That s because at times, the actual unit carries different specifications.

We ve got to hold our procrastinating speculative horses just for a week.
