Samsung Galaxy Nexus size comparison

Due to its massive proportions, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus inevitably ranks among the giants of the smartphone world. But after all, that spacious, 4.65-inch display needs to be accommodated somehow, right?

To give you a better understanding of just how big the device is, we paired it alongside a range of handsets, ranging from the rather petite Nokia 700 and its 3.2-inch screen to the Samsung Galaxy Note, which offers the whopping 5.3-inches of display real estate. The rest of the contestants in our comparison are the iPhone 4S, the Samsung Wave 3, the Samsung Galaxy S II and the LG Optimus 3D.

As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note is the only device larger than the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and the difference is quite noticeable. Interestingly, the LG Optimus 3D comes pretty close to the Nexus in terms of size despite having a smaller, 4.3-inch display. The iPhone 4S and the Nokia 700, on the other hand, are simply dwarfed when put next to the Galaxy Nexus.
