Overall, the Nexus S fared very well in our performance tests. The Nexus S came in behind HTC's EVO Shift 4G and EVO 4G smartphones in the Linpack tests. In An3DBench, the Nexus S edged out the Samsung Captivate and the Samsung Epic 4G to take the No. 1 spot. While testing JavaScript performance using SunSpider, the Nexus S came in just behind the HTC EVO 4G.
