Samsung has filled a new device with the FCC with the model number “GT-i9023″, and speculation is stirring that this is a new version of the Nexus S which will ship with Android 2.4. Let’s take a look at the evidence, shall we?
First of all, the outline of the device (seen above) looks exactly like the Nexus S. Also, a video has leaked showing a Nexus S in the wild (supposedly) running 2.4, with the baseband version in the About text reading i9023. Secondly, some European retailers are listing the i9023 as a “Black Silver” Nexus S, and why would Samsung make a new filling simply for a change in the color scheme?
This is all speculation at this point, but some of the evidence is fairly compelling. I suppose we will have to wait and see what happens with this one, but for now you can hit up after the break to check out the previously mentioned video.
