Been giving the Nexus S Contour Display some thought lately? Well, it’s finally been confirmed that the “curved display” actually means “curved piece of glass bonded to a normal SAMOLED display.” What’s cool is that there is no longer a capacitive digitizer as touch sensors are now part of the screen. The phone itself rates at a solid 7/10 repairability (10 is easiest to repair). This can be explained by a swapable battery and easily removable motherboard but an adhered front panel and screen fused glass. Check out a closeup shot of the display/glass after the break!
