Not good for office use

SJosh has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

Not at all so good for office/work use. Could have given some standard organiser apps as in Samsung SII. Does not have notes, voice memos, remonders, world clock, timer, stopwatch. Big disappointment on that front. The market place apps dont perform well as standard ones sometimes. Good for multimedia, games and social stuff. Flimpsy back cover. No accessories available at time of launch. why only 5mp camera?

The best nexus device yet

davidvvassallo has owned it for less than year before publishing this review

I have had the galaxy nexus for 4 months now its one of the best smartphones on the market. Its performance is great but it has a pretty outdated gpu its not really great for games if your buying this phone and you want to be able to keep on playing the latest games for at least 2 years then I wouldn't recommend this phone, I would go for the galaxy sii or the Sony xperia s.Overall the phone is amazing, it would have probably been the best phone at the moment if it wasn't for the gpu.

Build quality 10/10 When I first picked up the galaxy nexus I was shocked because i thought it wouldn't feel great in my hands but it feels great.

Reception 10/10 can't argue almost always full bars and never dropped a call

Call quality 9/10 You can hear the person well although the sound isn't that high and in busy streets you can't hear that well

Internet 10/10 Loads pages faster than my laptop.

Multimedia 8/10 The speaker is terrible in the streets you can barely hear anything I had to choose a really loud ringtone just to hear my phone

Camera 9/10 The camera takes very fast photos and they are pretty clear.Although at night the image quality isn't that good.

UI speed 10/10 The UI is very fluid can't complain.

Everyday usage 10/10 It will fit your basic smartphone needs like playing games, calling and all that stuff.

Text input 10/10 Pretty good you have a lot of space for the keyboard

Display 10/10 It will take your breath away

Battery 8/10 It last a day with normal usage

Pros

• Very nice screen
• good build quality
• good reception
• fast camera

Cons

• battery
• speaker

Galaxy Nexus review

Birds has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

It is a simply the best phone to purchase at the moment. It has Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwhich and is the most up to date android phone at the time. It has some quirks but they are easily overlooked once you see how much of a beast this phone truly is.

Build quality 9/10 It has the contour display, but apart from that, the design is light weight but uninspired. It is definitely durable but just not the most stylish option. I do like the small bezel and buttonless design.

Reception 8/10 Good so far. Has strong signals.

Call quality 8/10 Not surprised here. It was expecting less but voices were clear and distinct, but did have a slight his to them.

Internet 9/10 It operates just as smoothly as an iPhone 4S. But with the increased display size and pixel density, it is one of the best experiences you can have.

Multimedia 8/10 One, thing this phone excels int. It has great speakers and can play full 1080p high proflie bitrate videos.

Camera 8/10 The Camera is top notch. Even though it is five megapixels, it still exhibits fine detail and the color reproduction is spot on. The video recording is also good and has a lot of features but it shoots at 24 frames per second.

UI speed 9/10 Perfectly, fluid even with a live wallpaper.

Everyday usage 9/10 So far has been great. I enjoy it.

Text input 8/10 Probably the best soft keyboard on any phone, it has great responsiveness and it's layout is also good. I did notice that It will hang up and lag when typing at a ridiculous rate but it only happened once.

Display 9/10 The best aspect of the, the 720p screen of the super AMOLED variety is the mest out there. It is good for watching movies on the giangantic 4.65 inch screen.

Battery 9/10 Lasts all day with medium ussage.

Pros

• Great display
• Good camera
• First of its kind

Cons

• Poor video frame rate.
• flimsy battery cover

Galaxy Nexus Review

jagdeepgaba has owned it for less than month before publishing this review

This is the best Android phone around today. It's got a fantastic screen, a superb new OS and extra elements like Android Beam for sharing photos, contacts or (in the future) connecting to peripherals.

And as a smartphone or even mini computer, it's a great size with a nice weight that doesn't feel too cumbersome to carry or use.

Multitasking and improved widget management make this a much improved option for Android fans and we cannot fault call quality which, as always, is the basis of any phone experience.

Build quality 8/10 Galaxy Nexus’ have a “Contour Display” makes for easier one-handed use and more comfortable calls ,while the rest of the design is strongly reminiscent of the Galaxy S II series of handsets. That does mean a plastic rather than metal body, here finished in matte silver, though the battery cover – while as flimsy as those on other recent Samsung phones – does have a semi-soft finish that’s easily gripped.

Reception 9/10

Call quality 10/10 Call quality is top notch too. There's no option to turn any noise-reduction settings on or off but frankly, they're not needed anyway as our signal quality was flawless as was the quality on both our end and other callers'.

Internet 7/10 rowsing experience on the Galaxy Nexus is what you would expect. It's brilliant. Pages load incredibly fast over Wi-Fi and very fast over HSDPA. but missing Flash

Multimedia 7/10 The size of the Galaxy Nexus, the quality of its screen and its weight make this an ideal PMP and we really enjoyed using it . Unfortunately, there is no FM radio bundled on the Galaxy Nexus.

Camera 7/10

UI speed 10/10 it's highly intuitive, especially to new users – but you just have to put your old ideas to bed here. It's also snappy and we encountered zero lags, even when trying to slow it down with every app open

Everyday usage 8/10

Text input 9/10

Display 10/10 The screen, when lit up, looks fantastic. Its 4.65-inches with a resolution of 720 x 1280, giving a ppi of 316. It really is super sharp.

Battery 7/10

Pros

• . It's got a fantastic screen, a superb new OS and extra elements like Android Beam for sharing photos, contacts or (in the future) connecting to peripherals.
• Multitasking and improved widget management make this a much improved option for Android fans .

Cons

• Battery life needs to be improved
• No FM radio or SD card slot
