Product Overview

The Samsung Nexus S marks a significant upgrade over its predecessor, the Nexus One, offering numerous enhancements to elevate the user experience. One of the most notable changes is the design; the Nexus S features a sleek, curved glass display that not only adds aesthetic appeal but also improves touch sensitivity and visibility from various angles.

This upgrade enhances the overall multimedia experience, catering to users who enjoy photography and video chatting.Connectivity has also seen upgrades, with the Nexus S supporting both NFC (Near Field Communication) technology and Gyroscope functionality, allowing for improved gaming experiences and enhancing the capabilities for mobile payment solutions. The inclusion of a larger 1500 mAh battery further extends usage time, addressing battery concerns from the earlier model.Software-wise, the Nexus S launched with Android 2.3 Gingerbread, offering a smoother interface, improved performance, and new features such as a revamped keyboard, enhanced copy-paste functionality, and better power management. Since it is a Google-branded device, it receives timely updates and a pure Android experience, free from manufacturer bloatware.Overall, the Samsung Nexus S signifies a leap forward from the Nexus One, with enhancements in design, performance, camera quality, connectivity features, and software that collectively provide a more robust and enjoyable smartphone experience.

How to prepare to sell your Nexus S

Selling your Nexus S can be a great way to earn extra cash while ensuring your device gets a second life. To maximize your resale value and ensure a smooth transaction, follow this step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Determine your Nexus S’s Functionality & Condition

Grab your Nexus S and determine which Eco Toreda Condition Standard best describes it.

  • Screen & Body: Look for scratches, dents, cracks, or discoloration.
  • Buttons & Ports: Test all buttons, charging ports, and any other connectors.
  • Battery Health: In general, a battery with 80% or more battery charging capacity is considered Good. If yours is less than 80%, choose Poor Battery.
  • Performance: Ensure your Nexus S powers on, responds correctly, and connects to Wi-Fi/Bluetooth.
  • Accessories: Grab the original Nexus S accessories (charger, power cable) are available and functional.
Step 2: Remove Personal Data from Your Device

Before handing over your Nexus S, erase all personal data to protect your privacy. Follow these general steps:

  1. Back Up Your Data: Use cloud storage or a computer to save important files, contacts, and photos.
  2. Sign Out of Accounts: Deactivate any connected accounts (e.g., Apple ID, Google, Samsung, Microsoft) to prevent activation locks.
  3. Factory Reset your Nexus S: Navigate to the settings menu and select “Reset” or “Erase All Content.” Ensure the process is complete before shutting down the device.
  4. Remove External Storage (If Applicable): Take out SD cards or SIM cards before packaging.
Step 3: What to Bring

We'll pack and ship your Nexus S for you but remember to bring the following items:

  • Power Cable & Charger: The original Nexus S adapter and cable add value and make the device more appealing.
  • Original Box & Packaging (If Available): Providing the original box improves presentation and protection.
  • Accessories: Include any extras that came with the Nexus S, such as a stylus, dock, or protective case.
Step 4: Final Touches Before Selling

A clean and well-presented device makes a big difference. Take the time to do the following:

  • Remove Stickers & Decals: Any personal markings or stickers should be peeled off carefully.
  • Clean the Device: Wipe down the screen and body with a microfiber cloth and an alcohol-based cleaner.
  • Check All Ports: Inspect charging, audio, and other ports to ensure they’re free of dust and debris.

By following these steps, you’ll ensure a smooth selling process while maximizing the value of your Nexus S. Happy selling!
