Ice Cream sandwich Samsung Galaxy Nexus is here
Samsung Electronics unveiled its Galaxy Nexus smartphone the first to use the latest version of Google's Android operating system Ice Cream Sandwich. The phone is bound for the U.S. and parts of Asia and Europe starting in November.
Let’s have a sneak peek into the looks and specs of the phone. It's a phone that any carrier would be proud to offer, from the HD screen and 1.2GHz dual-core processor to
Galaxy Nexus has no buttons on its face. Rounded edges, dark color, and slightly curved face. Galaxy Nexus is rakishly thin in its own right, just 0.35-inch thick. The contoured edges should help keep the Galaxy Nexus from feeling too sharp and flat in the hand. It weighs 4.8 ounces.
Galaxy Nexus got a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (not the absolute top-of-the-line, but it's right up there) and will have support for both HSPA+ and LTE(future broadband), depending on the market. It sounds like the Galaxy Nexus will come with either 16GB or 32GB internal memory, globally, a spec that indicates there's no external SD card slot for adding more memory of your own. As with the Galaxy S, the Galaxy Nexus also has support for NFC (Near field communication), which will let you use it to tap to pay for items at participating terminals. Bluetooth 3.0 handles your connection needs. It's just too bad that Samsung didn't manage to incorporate Bluetooth 4.0 like Apple did with the iPhone 4S.You'll find a 1750mAh battery taking care of your power needs.
