Innards of the Nexus S shown to world in detail

We know that this was bound to happen but we didn’t expect it to be this fast. Less than a day of its launch, the guys at iFixit have already completely torn down the Nexus S revealing findings for all of us to see.

Many are saying the Nexus S is just a re-hash of the Samsung Galaxy S. Is it really? Or is it a completely different device? Here are the key notes revealed by the teardown:

  • The unique curved screen is not entirely what is it. Only the front glass panel is curved, Super AMOLED and digitizer are flat as any other screens before it. The curved glass panel and the display below it are fused together, so if you shatter the front panel glass, the display underneath has to be replaced as well.
  • There’s is peculiar warning sign on the Nexus S’ battery that indicates it should not be fed to babies. Duh!
  • A lot of the Nexus S components are modular, meaning that a number of components come as one part which makes them easier to replace but will cost more because if one component is defective, you’ll have no choice but to change the whole module
  • Having said that, iFixit makes it a note to point out that the battery of the Nexus S is very easily replaceable — just remove the back cover to swap it out
  • On board storage comes courtesy of a SanDisk SDIN4C2 16GB MLC NAND flash unit
  • The processor of the Nexus S is a Samsung KB100D00WM-A453 memory package and S5PC110A01 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird which is identical to the Samsung Galaxy S. Incidentally both the Nexus S and the Samsung Galaxy S share the same the same ARM A8 Cortex core as the A4 processor on the iPhone 4 and iPad
