Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Some specs were changed after pointed out by Shashank.
Hello everybody, here we are, with a fresh Nexus review.
We can say that this is the best android out there right now.
As usual this review will be divided in 3 parts the built quality, hardware specs and the software specs and after that the pros and cons and price. So, lets get started with this review.

Firstly talking about the built quality of this device. The phone is too slim/ slick uni-body architecture, there is a front camera on this device. The back plate is plastic made, which feels quite cheap while holding in hand.
The phones dimensions are135.5 x 67.9 x 8.9 mm, because of 4.65 inch display the phone is really large to handle with a single hand. The phone is really slim and light weight and feels quite royal while holding in hands.

Secondly coming to the hardware specifications of the device, Galaxy Nexus carries a TI-OMAP 4460 1.2 Ghz cortex A9 Dual-core processor, which is the best out there, with the best support for multimedia playback up to 1080p and maximum video formats are supported. The GPU of the phone is Power VR SGX 540, that is also the best out there with 1 GB of RAM. in total THE HARDWARE OF THIS DEVICE IS BEST IN THE MARKET. The camera is of 5 MP which is not eye popping but still good enough and average music output. This phone is not your cup of tea if you are looking for the replacement for your SLR or iPod. The benchmarks of this device are really the best.




The screen resolution is 720x1280 packed in a screen of 4.65 inches giving 316 pixels per inches (ppi). The screen of this flagship device of Samsung Galaxy- Google is powered by Samsung's  Super Amoled technology making it crisp and vivid as ever. Display is just too sharp and crisp for any purpose whether it be videos, gaming or text.



Now having a look at the software of this ultimate creature of galaxy. Nexus being the Google phone always gets updated very quick, this phone was launched with android 4.0 ICS and have been upgraded to android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which is a charm to use. The project butter and several other features of Jelly Bean makes this device exceptionally beautiful and enjoyable use. There are no bloatwares in this device, just pure Vanilla ICS or JB. According to my personal experience Vanilla ICS or JB are hell lot better than other bloatwares and it consumes much less battery.

Pros and cons of Galaxy Nexus -
1. Veryyyyyy Powerful hardware makes it an Ultimate Winner.
2. Updated android Jelly Bean.
3. Sharp and clear display with Super Amoled technology.

Cons
1. Not so good camera.
2. Average music

Final Advice - :
Talking frankly i didn't find any cons in this device that breaks your deal. This is the best mobile at the best price, that is this phone is truly value for money.

Price - : Not Launched in India. But still some websites are selling it at 25000/- INR.

Please correct your information about the processor, it is Dual-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A9 rather than 1.5 Ghz Dual core.
