  • I don't use live wallpaper. Just a simple picture will do.

  • I bought the LTE version and believe me, this phone is the shizzle.

  • There are a subliminal message on IPHONE 4s (you can't see...but with zoom have a little words represented with this simbol " * " . Before IPHONE 4s (with zoom) I*PHONE 4* s* (Are you see the simbol " * "?). And now you can read this "" I (*broke) PHONE 4 (*times) s (*shit) ""

  • people...its a phone not a computer...stop talking about the damn lag

  • 3 people have IPhone 4 and 3 people have IPhone 4s

  • @julius12x And one person has a WP7

  • finally a good review

  • 6 people still have BlackBerrys

  • @pyro74boy do U still believe that the rezound and razer are better phones?? if so you've got tunnel vision

  • If only the phone wasn't so arch-y. :(

  • @OhKayBee17 arch-y?

  • You know, now that i think about it, I have never actually seen, or come into contact with any actual iPhone fanboys, only android people making comments about them WHOS WITH ME!?

  • @pyro74boy Dont get your hopes up on that rumor.

  • @rockondee Its not a rumor it was pulled from the best buy ads because it was supposed to come out today [black friday] All the major Android blogs have already reported it and they even showed a pic of the online ad.

  • Still, gotta love my cappy

  • Gs2 skyrocket just got a new gingerbread update to 2.3.6 and you guys are HOMOs peace out

  • they confirmed that ics is not compatible with flash..the lag in the browser was due to poor Wi-Fi ... it was at one bar for the entire review ...

  • @phatt180 Very true but just like the other manufacturers (because they all do it) they have already started up selling features you didn't need. What I need is for all my friends with an iPhone 4 to be able to hold a conversation without the need for me to call them back not Siri. Its a neat bit of software and its a fast phone hands down.

    A corporation that has more money than the United States of America couldn't simply give its users a new version of the iPhone? Or give you an LTE option?

  • Is this going to be available on AT&T?

  • this or droid razr?

  • @XtremeGaming123 razr

    

  • i thought the nexus didnt come with flash?

  • I like lag, smooth is over rated, that's why I have a beard.

  • Is the AMOLED screen still too blue and over-saturated like the previous generation or have they fixed that?

  • Im so tired of this rival thing . .. Its not even about that anymore just get the phone that appeal to u . . Had all iPhones and I can say I never have felt let down . . Just saying

  • whats the with default clock of the ICS? it loks horrible - and makes the OS look weird - an incomplete product or something.

  • @vaibhav21g a clock makes the whole OS look horrible?

  • Excellent. I always appreciate a competent and well thought review. Thank you!

  • I decided to entertain myself further by taking a drink every time he says "Ice Cream Sandwich" or "ICS". Next thing I knew, I woke up on the floor and posted this comment.

  • So close yet so far.  Time to wait and see what goodies CES will bring.

  • Let's all troll SaFaO! He thinks Samsung is American!

  • "and that includes the iPhone..."

    

  • I agree %100 with EVERYTHING you said and that's the reason why I will not be buying the Galaxy Nexus. The SSGS2 is a great phone and I would rather have that then the GN and I just think it's so funny how these Nexus fanboys try to justify why a phone with lower specs is better then a phone with higher specs these are just stupid excuses all of the newer high end phones will be getting ICS and by the time they get the update they will be way less buggy then the GN end of story

  • @MrRain458 It's the new Android 4.0, under name Ice Cream Sandwich :P, i had to look at the homepage too,because i didn't know it either :D

  • ice cream samdwich :)

  • @tyran310 dude I got an iPhone 4S and love it,but I think this is all over the iPhone. I can't wait to get one of these,apple better really step it up with their next model,or it's lights out for iPhone.

  • why does he keep saying "ice cream sandwich"?

  • Just get an iPhone... its way better

  • @tryan310 its the same shit as last years iphone idiot

  • @tryan310 Just keep your mouth shut. Well your typing so fingers. It's way quieter?

  • I wanna get it.

  • since adobe did such a crappy job with optimizing flash I just turn it off unless I really need it

  • @TheWhiteout60 its because you have a slow phone. with a phone like this it will be fast and wont lag.

  • @johnc7995 Did you see the browsing? its still a little laggy. Flash just isnt good on mobile devices. Period. Also, I am now apple/windows fanboy I have a ton of android devices and flash just does not perform as well as I would hope.

  • @TheWhiteout60 flash browsing was perfect on the GSII. i guess its something about the touchwiz browser that makes flash smooth.

  • @johnc7995 The GSII is just an epic phone, pun not intended, and it performs well at everything. How about we agree on this.  The GSII is damn good. MOST androids are not that great when it comes to flash.

  • @TheWhiteout60 IF you would have read the full review on the Android Central website you would've known Adobe Flash support didn't come with the Galaxy Nexus out of the box and it's also not available yet for Ice Cream Sandwhich. Oh and Flash works silky smooth on my nearly 2 year old 1Ghz HTC Desire.

  • @TheWhiteout60 Speak only for yourself because flash browsing works fine on my android phone. I will agree with you that flash on some devices is laggy but not on my device I don't care if your a Apple fanboy or not Apple has used this excuse many times and I'm sorry but this is just one of many excuses that Apple is using to try to defend why their devices can't do things they should have been able to do in the first place.

  • 4 people have an Iphone.

  • @pingpang11 this dumb comment doesnt even deserve to be top

  • @pingpang11

    6 people ! lolz :)

  • nice

  • I love how it looks.

  • ­­­

  • I'm hoping the carriers do like they did the GS2 and come out with carrier specific variations of course stock Android though no fucking skins!

  • Lol you blame Apple? Blame Adobe for not optimizing Flash!

  • @iFloridaAllStar Blame Adobe? Who says it's them not adding Flash onto iOS devices. It could just be Apple babysitting their software yet again.

  • And I blame APPLE for killing FLASH now I have html which runs very slowly can't even play some of videos on the web browser

  • @genestarwindjf80 flash still works for android ! they just stop developing it

  • I dislike the camera. BUT I WANT THIS PHONE SO BADLY I want to trade or get rid of my Atrix for this one

  • @genestarwindjf80 same. but in android 2.4, I think the Atrix is getting 1080p. I hate how they said that it was going to get it in 2.3.4

  • @axiarus all software can do is make the camera faster/slower/manipulate filters...it can not produce a better picture, it can not change how sensitive the sensor is to light, it can not give it more pixels!

  • "Little bit of stuttering there because of all the flash on the page..."

    yeah, riiiight.... how do you explain this line concidering Mobile Flash Player is neither currently available, nor even compatible with Android 4.0 at the moment?

  • Oh forgot 5mp ok camera compared to 8mp very good camera! Ijs ICS is really what everyone wants!

  • No Exynos, no SD card option, heavier, gpu is slower, all specs less than Galaxy S II but you all are excited about this phone? I'm confused! I always thought Android users cherished the SD card option? You all can go spend another $300 for an upgraded screen by yourself! Oh yeah LTE, which is nice.. I'll keep my GS2 and continue to mod it!

  • Lol my other posts are being rejected

  • I just hope the Atrix 4G will get ICS eventually.

  • WHEN ANDROID USERS CAN UPDATE ICS?

  • just give me ics on SGII. Will never go to Verizon for a phone. and Sprint sucked iphoneys antenna too hard.

  • Other than with live wallpapers what lag? Live wallpaper lag is specific so a bug nothing more

  • T-Mobile please

  • @BugattiNinja verizon only

  • @DjGeraldo0023 It is supposed to come to the US on HSPA+ as well as LTE. So it will be for Verizon, ATT, and Tmobile.

  • These guys will find anything to complain about, no matter how great a device is. There is lag in EVERY device, EVERY. Get over it...

  • Hold this has 5mp camera and not that bad(TheVerge) but not great! Then this had no SD cars option? Wtf? Isn't this what we android users always talk about we wanted but this phone is being praised? It seems like a downgraded phone with a better screen to me, I'll wait until ICS comes to SSGS2 first or wait until you all do reviews on this, no longer presses

  • @iFloridaAllStar I agree %100 with EVERYTHING you said and that's the reason why I will not be buying the Galaxy Nexus. The SSGS2 is a great phone and I would rather have that then the GN and I just think it's so funny how these Nexus fanboys try to justify why a phone with lower specs is better then a phone with higher specs these are just stupid excuses all of the newer high end phones will be getting ICS and by the time they get the update they will be way less buggy then the GN end of story

  • @pyro74boy You do understand that it is possible to make a 5mp camera better than a 8mp camera with software right? You do understand that the screen type on the GN is 720p and eats up less battery life right? You do understand that the GN has no useless buttons right?

  • @Axiarus You do understand that you can make many cameras better with software right? You do understand that the phone I'm using is also a 720p screen right? [htc rezound] You do understand that there is no removable memory on the Nexus right? I like the buttons so I don't care.

  • Lag? Nooooooooo!!!!

  • But does it blend

  • WINDOWS PHONE FTW

  • Somebody knows if android 4 lose the wifi hotspot capability?

  • The GN is a good phone but I still like the DROID RAZR and HTC Rezound better I think people seem to forget that the Nexus is still lacking specs that are important to some of us phone users such as no removable memory and poorer quality camera ect. Sure people can argue the fact that the Nexus is the first phone running ICS 4.0 but a brand new phone running a brand new version of software that no phone has ever used is going to be buggy and it will be better when the RAZR ect get''s it.

  • That's not the latest android market! If u want to see the latest check out my channel using that Google music app and the new market.

  • According to reviews this is blazing fast

  • Wish they made it 3.7"

  • Want the GSM version now.. lol

  • unfortunately i have to buy this phone retsil..

  • So my question is with no more search button how do you call up the handy voice control with out backing out of what ever app your in, scrolling over to your home page and tapping that tiny microphone on the Google search widget?

  • @repairdrive The search bar never leaves on the homescreen, stays at the top no matter what page you're on.

  • @CurrentWeb Ahhh ok. Not as good as being able to long press the search button no matter where you are but to have ICS I'll put up with it I guess.

  • only newly added features of Adobe flash will be unavailable.

  • want.

  • At 1.50 u can see he loads full AC page with Flash content

  • Dear Santa...

  • It's not on the market adobe has to update it to work so until a work around or adobe puts it put there is no flash for ICS

  • you might never get flash

  • @bearjock2 that is not true, flash will still be on the market. The only problem is that there will not be newer versions of it as they have discontinued support for it. But every phone will still have flash.

  • Adobe flash isn't installed in hope adobe doesn't take their time so there's a good chance we won't have flash at launch here in the US on verizon

  • @PrymeProductionz you can always download it from the market if it is not insta

  • Are Google aLlowing Facebook integration with contacts. I miss it in the nexus s

  • More megapixels does NOT mean the camera is better!! More megapixels on a tiny sensor means there's less light for each pixel resulting in image noise. Sellers try to come by that with software image noise reduction. That sucks. That's why the galaxy nexus has a 5MP camera. Studies have shown that 6MP is the best compromis between image noise and pixelation. 6mpixel,org

    Compare the photos of the phones - when you don't do any image correction galaxy nexus will be the best.

  • Not cool... y'all got first. Enjoy it.

  • Does it support USB OTG? Could you make a video demonstrating that feature? Thanks.

  • verizon, stop fucking around and GIVE US THE DAMN PHONE. i'm sick and tired of your shit.

  • I'm sold!!!!!!

  • Does flash work in the browser?

  • PLEASE tell me this will be available on at&t!!!

  • Sweet review. Quick but went over some really good things and made honest opinions.

  • Give me!

  • Why is it that an American Phones gets release first at the U.K?

    I been looking for this phone in the states and nobody knows nothing about it.

  • @SaFaO "Nobody knows nothing" so what you're saying is that everybody knows something? Anyway, to answer your question, Verizon's bloatware isn't working in ICS so they delayed the phone.

  • @SaFaO That's because American carrier like to screw with the phones too much. Custom this, custom that! That kind of thinking doesn't exist in Europe or most other parts of the world....

  • @SaFaO Since when SAMSUNG is American?

  • @caballeroPL Samsung Hardware without American Google is Garbage.

    That was my point.

    Besides for me, the perfect phone would be a Nokia Hardware phone with Google.

  • @SaFaO So are you saying the Samsung Galaxy S2, and the Samsung Galaxy S are both garbage phones? Last time I checked, both of the phones were one of the bests. Also I believe the Samsung Galaxy S2 is still considered one of the bests.

  • @Velluvial They are both powered by Google. SG2 is samsung flagship phone

    Galaxy Nexus is Google Flagship phone :)

  • @SaFaO True that

  • @SaFaO last time I checked Samsung wasnt American

  • @SaFaO samsung isnt american LOL :D:D:D

  • @SaFaO I think you're the one that knows nothing... Samsung isn't American bro

  • Only a 5mp camera ..it better be a good one

  • This phone needs to hurry up and get released in the U.S.!!!

  • when the fuck will it hit the fucking US? oh yeah and when will it be on Sprint?

  • I think Samsung likes English accents...no wonder they give their Epic phones to the Europeans first.

  • i. am. full. of. want.

  • There really doesn't need to be any lag in the browser, even with flash. The s2 can have a 720p video playing and still zoom in an out smoothly.

  • it looks sooooooooo......... cooooooooool

  • I see NO lag in the live wallpaper tho.

  • 'Vote Up' if you're pissed like me that the USA is still waiting on this phone... WTF Google! We made you...

  • @ruconscious Samsung's decision it's their phone

  • @MrReloDog lol, I can't front. you have a point. But still, Google decided to give Samsung the opportunity to produce the next Nexus. Just saying, they put us on the back burner.

  • @ruconscious It could also be Verizon's "vigorous testing"

  • Should i wait for gs3???

  • @firebolt120 no get the galaxy s2 now!

  • I am pissed.. Dec 8th shit.. I will still have it..

  • @pyro74boy, have you ever used an iPhone 4. The 5 mega pixel camera on it is probably still one of the best phone camera out. No I'm not an iPhone user but I had one that I got in a trade once and the camera was better than most 8mp phone cameras out even now.

  • Comment removed

  • @don198769 Yes the iphones camera is great I will agree with you about that however I still think that it's real stupid for people to say that a 5MP camera is going to be better or just as good as a camera that has more megapixels becasue I have taken pics with my Android phone and the picture quality was so good that more then a few people where asking me what kind of point and shoot camera I was using and when I told them I was using a phones camera they said wow so I can't agree with you.

  • @don198769 I agree that some Android cameras are pretty good. I just bought a vivid and so far its been fairly good at pics. Now to the cars on your channel, those are sic. Those vetted sound sweet. Nothing like a Chevy smallblock with a great exhaust.

  • We more than likely won't see this phone in the states until next year. That an assumption, but if you look att the trends lately that is how things go. And I think this phone should have used a quad core chip in order to stay relevant after 2012 phones start rolling out with ics on them.

  • @don198769 Verizon has already said that the Nexus will be out before the end of this year 2011.

  • Nice. I want I want.

  • so now its going to be out on the 8th of dec?

  • i cant wait til the next google nexus device when i have money to buy a phone off contract. not everyone can buy a phone at the drop of a dime.

  • OK at least one that says that its retail!!!! other are prototypes LOL, im buying it!!!

  • im so ready for ics on the evo3d

  • I can't wait. I returned my razr. I've been waiting fir this phone.

  • im glad im getting ICS for my G2x through CM9

  • am i the only one who thinks those buttons are ugly?

  • Does opening contacts lag like in GingerBread?

  • What does hardware acceleration mean? Everyone tosses that phrase around but no one ever explains it...

  • @Degu1 Normally on Android, the CPU does all the work, it does also render the UI. But in ICS the devices GPU does render the UI. This means a smoother experience, and faster under the hood processing, cause the CPU can now concentrate on the important things.

  • I want it so bad! There better be a T-Mobile version...

  • This is really nice bur nor good enough, because I am pretty sure that I will get ICS from xda for the s2 soon.

  • They should of used an exynos.

  • @tdwplover22 omap's better by a decent amount

  • @Degu1 Not at all.

  • @tdwplover22 the problem is that exynos does not support lte

  • @TheAppledroid I didnt consider that.

  • Waiting for Nexus S 4G to be updated keep it moving so once it gets to America there will be 2 ics phones 3

  • I know a lot of Android owners, and no one uses live wallpaper...I have no idea why reviewers tend to always show these, I cannot imagine that many people care.

  • The Galaxy S II has an 8 megapixel camera, and it takes godly photos?

  • Crap!!

  • MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!
