Samsung Galaxy Nexus Unboxing

The ultimate Android phone has arrived at PhoneDog.  Aaron unboxes the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the newest Google Experience device and the first smartphone to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).  It packs a nice list of specifications, including a 1.2 GHz dual-core TI OMAP processor, 4.65-inch true HD 720p display with PenTile technology, 5-megapixel camera with 1080p HD video recording, a front-facing shooter, a 1,750 mAh battery, and HSPA+ connectivity on AT&T and T-Mobile (this is the unlocked, unbranded UK version) in the United States.  It's available now at some online retailers for a pricey $749.99.  Is the Galaxy Nexus really all it's cracked up to be?

  • Dane NoroObviously Jaden is too ignorant to do research. Retina display is 2nd to Super Amoled screen. Adobe Flash, voice commands comparable to siri, swappable battery (extra charging always for me) a more DURABLE phone. Look up youtube 4s vs s2 drop test where the iphone was smash each time. that's just to start. have a good day =)from 2011
  • Lets RøckIphone was taken out of da game by the motorola droid razr and samsung galaxy s2from 2011
  • Adam AldayGS2 already bests the IPhone 4S.from 2011
  • Jaden NussbaumI don't think it is an iPhone killer at all. The camera isn't as good, It isn't as fast. Android sucks. And plus, the iPhone has Siri,which is amazing. The only thing this phone has that the iPhone doesn't have better is a very large screen. FUCK ANDROID.from 2011
  • Naram MosheKills 4S. Not in sales though. from 2011
