Yesterday, in our by-model clarification of the Nexus mobile phones, we promised that today, we would present the specifications of each of the three Google Nexus models – the Nexus One, the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus, commonly but erroneously known as the Nexus Prime. We’ve separated the information into basic categories and noted each model’s inclusion as appropriate. We’re not listing every specification available for these Nexus mobile phones, but we do include commonly desired detail. We hope this helps you find not only accurate data but also the best mobile phone in the Nexus line for friends, family and you both this holiday season and in the coming year.

*We have to insert a dreary disclaimer here because information regarding this model has been changed so many times. We have to call these figures either estimates or “from unconfirmed sources” and might reflect the UK version only.

**Even after four hours of searching, we couldn’t find definitive information or even reliable estimates for some of these categories even on Samsung’s site, and we didn’t get one of the early-release models. If you do have the mobile phone, and you have these specifications, please let us know! We’ll give you a nod on the update for your help!
