This is a question which runs thought lots of peoples minds when purchasing their first or next Android powered phone and I have had some inquiries so here we go; HTC Desire HD vs Google Nexus S – The Showdown!
Similarities
To be honest, both these phones are incredibly amazing. They have all the features you can find in a mobile phone currently and either would be a great choice. It really comes down to personal preference. On the exterior the Desire HD has a larger screen however the Nexus S has a Super Amoled vs a Amoled giving the Nexus S a more vibrant picture. Both phones feature a 1000 MHz Samsung Hummingbird Cortex A8 processor. Although the Desire HD has an addition 256MB of ram it is eaten up by the feature rich HTC Sense environment therefore both phones run at par memory-wise. The only added feature to the Nexus S is the emerging NFC (Near Field Communication) technology. So here is the breakdown comparison.
