Apple has built a 5.0 Megapixel lens into the iPhone 4 together with features such as tap to focus video/still images, an LED flash, geo-tagging, VGA and HD video recording (720p). For FaceTime video calls, there's also a second, front-mounted camera.

The Google Nexus S matches its opponent with a 5.0 Megapixel camera of its own, as well as autofocus, an LED flash, geo-tagging, touch focus and 720p video recording. Another camera located on the front is ideal for video calls. Just like the iPhone.
Here's where it gets interesting... The iPhone 4 features a touch-sensitive LCD display, 3.5 inches across with a quoted resolution of 640 x 960 pixels. Jamming 614400 pixels into this screen size gives the iPhone 4 a pixel density of 329.714 pixels per inch (PPI).
In comparison, the Nexus S's touch-sensitive Super AMOLED screen is 4.0 inches wide. Its 480 x 800 pixel resolution loses out to the iPhone 4's display. Compared to its rival, the pixels per inch (PPI) rating of this screen is much lower at 233.25.
As for software, the iPhone 4 uses iOS4, while the Nexus S runs a pure Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) build.
The iPhone 4 wins the internal storage battle with 32GB, compared to 16GB on the Nexus S. The iPhone 4 lacks an expansion slot so 32GB is all the storage you get. The Nexus S is missing an expansion slot and so the phone is restricted to its 16GB of storage.
The iPhone 4 also includes GPS/A-GPS, a digital compass and a 3-axis gyroscope. The Nexus S features GPS/A-GPS, a dedicated GPU for faster gaming, haptic feedback vibration, a 3-axis gyroscope, a digital compass and a curved 'Contour Display'.
