Google Nexus S 4G gets update a day after launch

The Google Nexus S 4G that just arrived at Sprint stores this past weekend has already got a maintenance update. According to a Sprint forum posting, the software release is called GRJ22 and includes improvements to performance and security, international roaming when using Google Voice, and the use of the Tags app for NFC when communicating between two Nexus S handsets.


The update is said to take about five minutes to install. The update is being released over the air and being pushed out in stages. Users can get it faster by checking manually.


The handset reportedly ships with Android 2.3.4 and Sprint explains that waiting for the update would delay the launch, so the carrier instead chose to ship it on time and release the update as soon as it was ready.


The Nexus S 4G costs $200 on a two-year contract and is similar to the original T-Mobile version aside from the necessary network switches to CDMA and WiMAX.
