The Galaxy Nexus - Simple. Beautiful. Beyond smart. Galaxy Nexus is the ultimate in portability. At just 9.47 mm thin and powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor built to soar on 3G network, nothing can hold you back. Galaxy Nexus is the first phone with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, the sweetest version yet. All-new features include Android Beam for NFC sharing and Face Unlock, which replaces passwords with a smile. With the first HD Super AMOLED Contoured Display, Galaxy Nexus displays flawless TV shows and movies. You can even shoot and share HD pictures and video with either of two cameras, including 5.0 MP with flash. Featuring auto contact backup and native Google+, Galaxy Nexus allows you to chat with one friend or chat with several-at the same time making social more sociable. 

  • newegg Super AMOLED goes HD Galaxy Nexus is the world's first phone with a 4.65" high-definition Super AMOLED display, making text, photos, videos and games look crisp, vibrant and rich. With 1280x720 HD resolution, videos look amazing and the unique Contour Display curves nicely to the shape of your face and makes it easier to hold.
  • newegg Gentle curves ahead Hands aren’t flat. Neither are pockets. That’s why Galaxy Nexus has been carefully and ergonomically designed to have a gentle curved shape that just feels nice. And, at just 9.47mm, it’s the definition of slim.
  • newegg More powerful than it looks Don’t let the slim, elegant design fool you. The Galaxy Nexus is a power heavyweight. Samsung engineers have found a way to get a 1.2GHz dual-core processor inside its 9.47mm body. So you’ll have all the graphics, computing and video processing power you’ll ever need.
  • newegg Your first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich The Galaxy Nexus by Samsung is a phone full of firsts. For starters, this is the first phone to run the new Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich platform. It does everything Gingerbread and Honeycomb could do, plus lots more. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich brings an entirely new look and feel to Android. The lock screen, widgets, notifications, multi-tasking and everything in between has been rethought and refined to make Android simple, beautiful, and beyond smart. Face Unlock feature allows you to unlock your Galaxy Nexus with a smile while Android Beam allows you to share anything between two NFC enabled Android phones. You can even use your voice to instantly type your emails SMS, or anywhere you want to enter text with the voice typing feature. The built-in Google+ allows you to chat with people wherever you are.
  • newegg Single-Motion Panoramic Camera With Galaxy Nexus you get a high-end camera with zero shutter-lag, automatic focus, top notch low-light performance and a simple, intuitive way to take panoramic pictures. No stitching needed. Take amazing photos or 720p videos, edit and then share them right from your phone.
  • newegg Faster than you’d expect Ice Cream Sandwich is designed to squeeze maximum performance from the 1.2GHz dual-core processor for additional speed and processing power. It’s the first Android platform built to truly optimize the benefits of dual-core processing so you can multi-task with multiple windows open without slowing down. All this power runs on 3G network, so you’ll have the fastest phone performance on the fastest network.

1 out of 5 eggsDont buy anything from NewEgg

Pros: I got this defective device from NewEgg. I sent it back for reviewing defect. But NewEgg customer support sent it back to me saying it's not defective. Even a blind person can easily figure out the issue with this device. I am not sure what technical analysis NewEgg team did. Now I am running behind NewEgg Customer Support since a week and nobody is answering me. I am writing e-mails, calling them, posting on their portals and nobody is answering me. This seems like they did a fraud with me and now they don't want to get my money refunded. I am highly disappointed and now looking for other options to get my money back. Can someone please help me with this?

2 out of 5 eggsGreat phone, poor service

Pros: Very slick phone when it works.

Cons: This is an international phone. Had to unlock the bootloader to put the updated 4.2.1 android on it. Then the phone would sometime freeze and reboot when making/answering calls. After about a month of calling newegg, then calling/chatting with samsung I found out that samsung will not warranty this device because it is unlocked from newegg. Just keep this in mind if you have a problem. Also not that the box seal will be broken because to unlock the phone they (newegg) has to open the box.

Other Thoughts: After a lot of wasted time on my part I have finally got newegg to replace the phone. Hopefully the new one will work better than the old one...

4 out of 5 eggsWhy would you buy any other Android

Pros: You will get updated to Jelly Bean 4.2 if this is the same model you can purchase from google play.

Never notice any lag or anything, opens apps quickly and smoothly.
large screen, but very sleek: no physical buttons, and the glass is curved. =O

Google really does offer a great number of services (apps) on this device. For the price, I asked myself what other phone i would purchase for $350? The answer was a low range, old sony. So I chose the GNEX.

Cons: Backplate is as plasticky as most reviews say. Its attached but it is raised near the camera lense and makes a strange squeeking noise.
Watch out not to press the volume rocker when turning off phone.

Shoddy camera imho. I'd love a big honkin camera, but i can borrow my dads dslr for that.

Other Thoughts: I bought this phone from Google.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Phone!!

Pros: This is a thin phone that is just the right size. The 4.65" screen is gorgeous and a very big upgrade from my previous phone the Motorola Defy. The dual-core processor is leagues faster and stock Android is a very big plus since Google Nexus devices are first to get the latest version of Android. I've already upgraded to Jellybean and it's the fastest and slickest version of Android yet. I also enjoy 4G-like speeds with HSPA+ support versus the stadard 3G support I had with the Motorola and it's like night and day. Battery life has been pretty good for me as well. Samsung and Google have really put together an excellent device.

Cons: It's not the Nexus 4!!

Other Thoughts: I was originally planning to get the Nexus 4, but I had no idea that it was going to sellout within minutes, and of course there's a long back-order on them. My old phone was getting quite a bit long in the tooth, and I was already tired of waiting. T-Mobile refuses to give me a reasonable price on an upgrade phone even though I have just 9 months remaining on my 2-year contract which I didn't even get a new phone with in the first place! I refuse to pay $500-650 for a phone. They were even gonna charge me $500 for the Nexus 4...RIDICULOUS!!! I figured the Galaxy Nexus was the best alternative and it turns out I was right. Sure I would prefer the new Nexus with quad-core CPU and Super LCD but the dual-core CPU and AMOLED screen on the Galaxy Nexus are still excellent performers. For those who can't get their hands on the Nexus 4 and can't stand the wait then this is still a great alternative and of course Newegg is the only place that has it at this price. Also, stock Android is awesome. None of that silly TouchWiz and whatever other customizations that the various manufactures can come up with is on the Nexus line of phones. No need to root these phones just get your hands on the latest version of Android. Google supports all Nexus devices, so you're not left being at the mercy of the other companies. It amazes me how fast some of these companies abandon support for the phones. I think all of my future phones will be Nexus products since I can count on getting future updates. I've even ordered a Nexus 7 tablet which I'm currently waiting on. Anyways...this is the second best deal out there for a high-end unlocked phone and even though its been out a year its still a rather impressive device. I initially wanted an SIII or a Note II, but I'm extremely happy with my Galaxy Nexus. I have several friends with SIII's and after messing around with those phones I feel like I got the better all-around device. My phone is just as fast, it feels better constructed, and stock Android is the best. I'm sure the Note II is great, but I wasn't paying $650 and the size of it doesn't make for a nice fit into pants pockets either. So...it's the Galaxy Nexus if you can't get your hands on the Nexus 4. You'll will be more than satisfied.

4 out of 5 eggsSlick

Pros: - solid thin light design
- wicked screen, a good combination of size and pixel ratio
- only 3 exterior buttons (can also be a negative)
- Responsive and Intuitive.
- Runs latest android releases right from Google
- runs for an avg of 24 hours with general use

Cons: - Screen burn in from buttons and notification bar
- because of the screen it only gets about 3 - 6 hours of heavy use depending.
- no wireless charging
- no smart tv video

Other Thoughts: The Galaxy Nexus is actually a great phone. There are a few customization issues I have with the operating system but over all the interface is well built. The screen burn in could be solved, and that's really the only problem I've found hardware wise. Just be aware this phone doesn't have all the latest hardware, as you may notice because of it's lack of newer features. The LG Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy 3 and HTC one X all have more powerful hardware and newer options. How ever Google now is an option that far outways any hardware choice from the above devices. Also buy a case these phones are slabs of glass, sturdy slabs of glass.

5 out of 5 eggsGalaxy Nexus

Pros: Nice, solidly constructed feel, even if it is mostly plastic. Doesn't have the same cheap, creaky feel the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 had. Super AMOLED screen is as brilliant as always, and the bluish hue on white backgrounds that earlier AMOLED screens has largely been corrected. Reception, both 3G and wifi, is better than the Galaxy S. For those of you using T-Mobile, the Nexus supports the 21Mbit HSPA+ standard. Sound quality is okay, but not overly loud, especially on speaker.

Jellybean (Android 4.1.x) has been out for the Nexus for a while now, and does address a lot of issues people had with Ice Cream Sandwich like OS lag. Since the phone is a "pure" Google device, you'll be the first to receive OS updates (Android 4.2 is coming soon), which is a definite bonus. The camera is also an improvement over the Galaxy S I had, bringing much faster shutter time, faster autofocus/face recognition, etc. The LED flash can be useful, but tends to blow out pictures. It's more purposeful as a flashlight, usually. Samsung also thought to include an actual LED notification light at the bottom of the phone, which was an annoyance I had with the Galaxy S, which had no notification lights.

Browser speed and multitasking is much improved over earlier single core model phones, even though the hardware in this phone isn't cutting edge anymore.

With Jellybean, at least, battery life seems quite good. Much improved over my old Galaxy S, though I have rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM and kernel.

As a pleasant surprise, the GPS works quite well on this phone. Samsung has had issues with GPS drivers in the past, but it seems those days are behind us. Fast lock times, pretty high accuracy, and support for GLONASS.

Cons: Camera is okay, but nothing to write home about. Don't get hung up on megapixel count because it really doesn't matter if the manufacturer uses low quality optics. The 5MP sensor in this phone is completely usable, but suffers in low light environments as do all phone cameras.

Even at the highest volume, the speaker still isn't very loud. This can be remedied by an application from the Play store called Volume Plus, if I remember correctly.

Not really a great device with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, but Jellybean addresses most of those issues, and comes as an OTA update as soon as you power on the phone.

Other Thoughts: Newegg's jacked the price back up to $700, which is odd considering it was going for $350, same as from Google Play and other etailers. Don't buy this phone at $700.
