you really should make a revision of the review running ics 4.0.3 so people can see most bad things were related to an early ics version...or im wrong ?
In regards to the issues with the websites I would question would the same thing happen if you were to use a different browser. IE Dolphin,Chrome etc. It would be interesting to see or hear about some testing and if indeed its the default browser or a phone issue.
Its Nice cause of vanilla & allways get the newest stuffs first , but Samsung did a much better job with the S2,no choppyness and lags like this. Sorry to break it down boys but it is like it is.
I really don't understand you apple fanboys. You claim you have the best OS, then can somebody explain to me why you guys always have the need to go bash android? It seems to me like Apple you guys are panicking because android might be something. Actually that's why am getting android tablet with Their 4.0 android. Dude you have the best shit, then go enjoy it. Stop the commercials for android. You are making people aware of android.
Probably the best review of this phone i've seen on Youtube so far. I especially liked the real world performance tests (like the multitasking one) as opposed to running synthetic benchmarks. Keep up the in-depth and thorough reviews! Good job.
I'm very interested in the browser performance issues. I personally can't believe pinch to zoom is so poor on some websites relative to say the iphone 4s or the SGS2. I tested the verge full site with all three phones but only the SGN chugged and chopped. Do you think this is something that can be fixed with a software update? I'll be receiving my phone this week but now I'm quite concerned.
Hey dude, it is not such a big problem with the browser pinch to zooming. you just selected the most hungry-for-performance Verge site. my ipod touch as an ex. downloads it for about a minute, and even mobile version of this site is so laggy there.
@Lonesharck I think he turned it off just for this review. This is certainly the first review iv seen that shows so many performance issue like this phone is not even a mid range phone.
@IntelligentAgency I've tried the Galaxy Nexus with forced GPU on/off. It makes no difference in core apps that are most likely already using hardware acceleration.
Also, you're seeing 'performance issues' in my review because I haven't edited them out of the video; I wanted to spend time examining them. This is more useful than just cheerleading the phone, don't you agree?
I honesty think the laggy performance is due to the fact that the phone has so many extra pixels to render. Even Opera Mobile, which is usually quite smooth even on my old galaxy s, runs slower on the galaxy nexus.
@hightechjunkieva Hey Matt, sorry my voiceover let you down. But you might want to call me a 'fag' under a different YT account than the one you use to upload videos of your adorable family. LOL. And sorry to hear that you're single now. Maybe a good time to separate your RL identity from your often homophobic/racist comments online :)

Wow, there's something wrong with your phone. I'm running stock 4.0.1 and it's very smooth in the browser and maps.

This Phone has many issues!!
I'm very surprised about that.
I think iOS is at the moment the best Operating System right now!
The Review is good, thank you!

Did you enable "Force GPU use/acceleration" in the settings of the phone? Maybe that will fix the performance issues.

I hate the sound/tonality of your voice, the way you say "processor" and the abundance of you pronouncing the letter "s" like a fag.
