It'll sport a 4in, 480 x 800 display; a 5Mp camera; tri-band HSDPA 3G connectivity; 16GB of Flash storage; GPS; Bluetooth 2.1; 2.4GHz 802.11n and support for near-field communications (NFC) apps such as touch to pay.

There's a 1GHz Samsung CPU on board.

According to the Korean giant, the Nexus S "supports HD-like multimedia content". So almost HD, but not quite, then.
