Information about the Nexus S, an Android 2.3 Gingerbread-running Google phone from Samsung, has leaked. As the presumed sequel to the Nexus One (made by HTC), the Nexus S is said to have ties to T-Mobile, thanks to its AWS 3G radio.
The smartphone is also reported to have a 4-inch Super AMOLED screen, a Hummingbird processor, 802.11 b/g/n, a 5 megapixel autofocus camera, Bluetooth, and dual-band 850/1900 GSM frequencies. Engadget has reported that there are actually two very similar Nexus S candidates that passed the FCC: the GT-i9020, and the GT-i9020T. It's likely one of these models is destined for Europe.

Another leaked report tells us the phone will be available exclusively at Best Buy this holiday season, possibly as soon as this Sunday, November 14. Although none of these reports have been confirmed by Google or Samsung, the pieces are certainly lining up for a holiday launch of this upcoming smartphone.
