The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy Nexus is upon us finally, and I was lucky enough to get up close and personal with the device. The phone is pure awesomeness. It’s so fast and fluid, and fluid being the best thing about it. No lag between transitions or apps, which of course is to do with Android’s latest creation,Ice Cream Sandwich.
Now in my review, I am running the Nova Launcher, which is an ICS launcher with a little more features. It runs like a champ on the Galaxy Nexus. No lag, and having the added features just makes the phone even better if that is possible. Only thing that I do not like about the stock ICS launcher which I have written about, is the way you have to put a widget on one of your home screens. It is not a big complaint, just one of the features did not tickle me. This device is running the Android 4.0.2 update, as well as its got the extended 2100 mah battery inside it. Hardly a noticeable difference in thickness to the stock battery.
Gameplay is great, I show the opening animation sequence to Asphalt 6 HD, and play a little Flick Golf which is super addicting by the way. Video play is sharp. One thing I do mention is that the screen is 720×1280 but when you are in your browser or certain apps, the screen is 720×1184. This is just do to the virtual buttons that are actually part of the screen which I thought was cool feature.
Camera is lightning fast. As soon as you hit the button it takes a picture. Definitely the WOW factor right there, and there is also the panoramic feature to the camera as well. Camera takes 1080p video which looks sharp, and I did not try out the time-lapse feature because I thought it would take to long.
So there is really nothing bad to say about the camera or the phone in general. So check out my video review of the Galaxy Nexus. I try not to sound to boring in it and add a little bit of the entertainment factor to it, so please enjoy.
