A fresh new Google Nexus S, sporting model number GT-i9023, has been spotted on the FCC website. As the stomping grounds for all things tech heading west, the FCC filing has one important tidbit of information — an AWS 3G band, all but confirming a launch on T-mobile USA. Even more interesting is a video leaked across the Internet shows the device running none-other than Android 2.4.
Let’s lay down the facts: there’s a FCC filing for the GT-i9023 here, the tests confirm the AWS 3G band used by T-mobile USA and it shares the same model name (GT-i9020) as the original Samsung Nexus S. This is not the first time we’ve seen an Android 2.4 device leaked on video, but there’s more to this mysterious device.
A quick look at the WiFi Alliance and Bluetooth SIG websites reveals the phone has been certified. Furthermore, some European retailers are even calling the handset the “Black Silver” Nexus S. For now, we simply know there’s another Nexus S, model number GT-i0923, headed down the smartphone pipe.
Whether or not this phone is an entirely new Nexus S running Android 2.4 out of the gate remains to be seen. We recommend taking the Android 2.4 news with a grain of salt, but rest assure the device itself is legitimate.
