Description

The Samsung GALAXY Nexus is the first phone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich - the version that is meant to put an end to fragmentation. The handset uses the concept of button-less front and thin bezel to fit a 4.65" HD Super AMOLED display in a phone the size of handsets with smaller screens. It is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core TI OMAP 4460 processor, and capable of shooting HD 1080p video.

This device is also known as Google Nexus 3, Google Nexus 4G, Samsung I9250

Decent phone

Phone owned for less than a year

Used it for about 5 months. It has great screen (AMOLED, good PPI, slightly curved). Battery life is so terrible it really affects your experience - had to charge it about 1.5-2 times every day.

Make sure to update to Jelly Bean to get Project Butter - it really speeds up the UI. The review is kind of late, but whatever =P

Phone owned for less than a year

worst phone I ever had within the first two months of owning the phone would get extremely hot while trying to talk on it enough you would have to remove it from your ear that is if it didn't shut off on you right away and restart on you and then take forever to restart and not even get all the way on and restart again 3 or four times in a row and if it did stay on try to open an app without It taking almost 30 seconds to open then shut off and restart before you could use the app put this way I had the worst experience for my first smart phone with this phone the list of problems I had are endless it wasn't just mine my daughter had same phone same phone same problems for almost a full year turned them in on warranty got something better worst phone iver in my opinion
