Without any further ado, let's start tearing this phone apart!

The entire back cover comes right off without a fuss, giving us a first glimpse of the battery.

We used a plastic opening tool to peel the NFC antenna module off the back cover. According to Google: "Nexus S can read information from 'smart' tags, or everyday objects that have NFC chips in them. These can be anything from stickers and movie posters to t-shirts."

Looks like something straight out of Tron: Legacy.
