Samsung Galaxy Nexus "Real Review"

[1skeeta4u]

10...you heard it! Certified... GNex!

[MrOldeastdallas]

Is the Samsung galaxy Nexus screen better than the iPhone 4s? Does anybody knows out there? Also, if I root a Samsung galaxy Nexus, will I be able to activate the phone with any carrier of my choice?

[MrOldeastdallas]

I have a HTC EVO 3D and and a iPhone 4s. My iPhone 4s its a joke when holding it on my hand. The screen is really small. There are things that I like about my iPhone. I'm planning on getting rid of the iPhone though. I so want that Nexus prime.

[CamboMan247]

Loved the review man! Gonna try the black background thing...I know what your talking about with how deep the blacks are on the display...having a black wallpaper makes the screen look even more amazing :)

[BLUDUVASLAVE]

Great video as usual Floss. What case is that? It kinda looks like the one I have on my iPhone 4 made by Belkin.

[MophieZ]

You make me want the phone.. but the only reason that I haven't bought it yet is that it's too big for me :S

[BreezyXiNHD]

but doesnt the phone with its own equalizer i saw a review video and a guy showed it

[chaz1351]

hey what kind of case is that..I need a new one for my nexus

[vitorioap]

I think DoubleTwist is much louder and has a much more enjoyble interface than PowerAmp.

Great review, by the way.

[ramicjasko]

Can you make quick rewiev of galaxy ace

[fatboyblue269]

I just took back the Samsung s2 tmobile and switched to galaxy nexus

[tdsheadcoach]

Great review...however I have the epic touch...on gingerbread and it hard to compare the two...please compare when it gets ics update...keep it up

[marc4life10]

thumbs up for loading skyrim! best phone and best game!

[marc4life10]

best review i have seen so far

[Tricie05]

can you do a video with the best free apps that have your seal of approval?

[sourDeez2]

Nexus coming to Sprint real soon! Can't wait.

[sdwyz74]

hey floss what nexus is this ??? i have one its the SPrint nexus S but yours seems a bit different PLEASE ADVISE

ps you a fool my NINJA! stay at it

[AsimoDante24]

hope this comes to att

[WMuntouchable06]

i just got mine yesterday and i'm loving this phone! Pure ICS is dope on the nexus! I still got my Epic 4g Touch though.

[ninjadudester]

thug review!!

[PdrNavarro]

@flax4343 actually put plus sign "volume+"

[nyc23bklyn]

what should i get the nexus, galaxy s2 or iphone 4s want a phone thats good for internet use and music but i can use Power Amp so im a go with this phone

[flax4343]

REAL NICE review, Floss. However, checked market and counldn't find "Volume Plus" app that actually BOOSTS native sound volume, like thru the speakerphone, only apps that control volume in other ways. Am I mistaken?...pease help. Thanks again

[goojelly]

@Mattmulloy thanks dude

[Lprewett86]

How do you get the popup notifications like on Twitter for example? Like the little bubble comes up sort of resembling iphone's IOS notification system.

[llCommando1993ll]

this phone is a definite go

[thepinomachino]

you know if the htc thunderbolt will get ICS?

[cwhyte2005]

First I want to say that I like your video because you give all the details on all your phones you review. Now, I had a upgrade and I had to decide between the HTC Rezound and the Galaxy Nexus. I ask everybody on Facebook for their opinion, it didn't do no good. So I check out your video " Galaxy Nexus vs. Epic 4G Touch", and dude, right there, i made my decision. I went and got the Galaxy Nexus, and man I like it. i'm just waiting for my off day so I can play with the phone. THANKS FLOSSY!!!!

[Mattmulloy]

@goojelly.. . i believe its flow light... its nice

[Mattmulloy]

ha... I like this dude... never seen or heard any of him before... I think im a fan though... oh and .... I LOVE MY NEW NEXUS!!!! he nailed the review though.. both positives and negatives

[GlockNinja]

I totally agree with you. The sound quality is weak and cheap sounding. My original Motorola Droid stereo sound makes this Samsung Galaxy Nexus sound like a Walgreen Walkman. Even when I play around with the built in equalizer, it sucks. Thanks for the Power Amp tip. And it don't do flash. Crackle don't work on it yet.

[goojelly]

What is the name of the app that changes the led color?

[goojelly]

What is the name of the app that changes the LED color?

[pp3k3jamail]

This phone not on sprint

[MrDavidPartida]

Right on flossycarter

[TheTeamofZips]

What's the app to change the led color?

[McRipperMitWurst]

How you got this twitter notification when you was watching the skyrim video ?

[goojelly]

Nice video! You covered everything I wanted to know. Quick question, though. What case do you have on your nexus?

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@goojelly thanks! i have the silicone one from verizon...$20

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@MrDavidPartida no doubt my dude..im gonna mention it when i do the next video..ill shout you out for the heads up! lol

[MrDavidPartida]

But like I said man. It was a decent review. I'm not hating pimpin'

[MrDavidPartida]

You should still mention that Google wallet is not included on the phone and that you will have to download a apk file to get it working.

[Speakup84]

Flossy does review us real homies out here

[Jbirdrules3818]

The only thing I don't like is the way the phone looks other wise its pretty cool and i love that thing you can do with the microphone when you txt . Good review :)))

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@MrDavidPartida how is that misleading? its a free app that takes 1 minute to download. 90% of the apps that make any phone hot dont come pre installed. its not misleading because im not a spokesperson for google or samsung,these videos are just my personal opinions.. I never edit any videos i make, they are really intended for my friends..thats why you dont see any adds popping up..

[MrDavidPartida]

Decent review man....

On a side note. Don't tell people the nexus comes with Google wallet. They will expect it to come with the phone and won't realize that its a app that you have to download onto the phone. You might want to re edit your video since its misleading to the public right now

[MrRligon]

Thank you finally a real review

[damienh28]

Yo tottally agreee on the black background, All amoled screens does that, the black make the phone look like it doesnt end, straight up, I thought i was the only one realizing that

[robet61]

Nice review, thanks for helping me decide what phone to get. Should be getting my galaxy nexus in the mail soon.

[wealorg1]

Nice review I'm glad you like it man

[portauprince22]

How did you get that clock widget that shows the weather?

[sqeze1st]

@FLOSSYCARTER we returned it they said that a app that she downloaded may have caused it. This new one is on point though.

[SmithVlogs]

Wow, thank you!!

[toxtacwitoutxtac]

I bet the A.I.TYPE KEYBOARD on the nexus is a go.

[kmeth7]

Another awesome review. I've thoroughtly watched your videos and I especially like your way of getting right into the topic without huge introductions, specs info and etc. No doubt that Galaxy Nexus is an excellent phone but I am going to stick to my Epic Touch until GS3.

[jdiddy112]

Great review!

[CorruptionDee]

Good looking out Floss. I appreciate you taking time out to give an in depth review. I'm not a Verizon customer, but I was dying to see the phone.

[f3n0m3no]

March 2011- Galaxy s3

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@vandam500 because i showed all that in the unboxing video :-)

[PrincessOTFH]

@FLOSSYCARTER The only that sucks is that the notification light is at the bottom. It's like you now gotta have your phone in your pocket upside down just to see it.

[vandam500]

Not a bad review but why show off the external/build quality of the phone with the case on it...defeats the purpose lol.

[imstr8642212]

@pabellony ay 1st of all no way n hell wimax is faster dan LTE plus i just put dat rootzboat 4.0.3 & it fixd all the lagging issues famo

[AZN8010]

what camera are you using for your reviews ?

[ccortez001]

ICS google music has equalizer and gives great depth to the audio quality, no need for app! Proper headphones for more enhancement but stock Samsung are good also.

[22nappyhead]

dawg, ima a power amp vet. that app is amazing.

[xTIGERSFAN35x]

Nexus or epic 4g touch?

[pabellony]

Flossycarter Epic has better camera and better sound and is a littler fast than Nexus, buy The nexus hace ICS

[pabellony]

Flossycarter just kidding

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@pabellony dont get me wrong, the epic is still a top dog!

[shortdom107]

Hey never let me know how u get the small icons on your phone I've been trying what app do you use.... also I have the epic 4 g touch is it worth the upgrade to the nexus or what's ur opinion haven't had a chance to play with the nexus yet.

[MrGoku0069]

Thanks floss you the man,I like how you keep it real, guess the Gn will be my next phone,oh btw I'm buying the contour+;)

[Blksupermankc]

companions* haha

[Blksupermankc]

Skyrim niiice vid to pull up sir!! Companies!!

[WJT456]

Awesome review. I love this phone. Three questions: (1) what case is that? (2) what screen protector is that? (3) what twitter client is that? (I've never seen that bubble notification)

Thanks!

[lordangel1221]

Always great to see you FLOSS. I love this phone. I hope it gets to SPRINT.

[MrGoku0069]

Hey floss which would you say is better galaxy s2 on sprint/Tmobile or Verizons galaxy nexus?

[randombakuganboy]

does the facial recognition work if you take off sunglasses?

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@randombakuganboy nope...it works with the pic you set it to.. i just did that for the video...normally i dont set it with shades on...

[iomdirector]

What is the LED notification app? Great review!

[dtrainpdx]

I was on the fence about this phone til I saw this review, thanks Floss

[beelo05]

Got fed up with Motorola so went with the Nexus, forget all the specs of the other phones this phone is hot. Nothing can compare to ICS right now, smooth as hell and not one force close in the week that I've had the phone and haven't pulled the battery yet. Matter of face haven't taken the battery cover off or powered down the phone. Someone asked about Bluetooth, no issues with that at all. ICS is a definite game changer!!!!

[bvzxa3]

Well, all of the "Nexus" line are developer phones. So This isn't top top of the line but it will hold until the GS3 comes out

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@bvzxa3 right now there's nothing beating this on the android side... this will be the shit until at least the spring! lol

[bvzxa3]

@FLOSSYCARTER You right!! I was on the fence going for specs, but after seeing your review and this cat that got the GSM version, I want it now. Plus no other UI, just straight ICS. Also it's the fastest camera around, all of that makes me say I got to pair this up with my Epic Touch.

[nastytrooper]

So should i get this phone or just keep my Epic and wait for the Galaxy s3

[reddnmilla]

Good shit Floss... very thorough

[bvzxa3]

Man how can you dislike this review?? There some real haters out there.

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@bvzxa3 lol you know how that goes... fucking trolls..

[bvzxa3]

You tell the truth on Poweramp. I been using it since I had a Droid X. The thing is I'm a little upset with Sammy and the sound because the Fascinate had good sound. For some reason the Epic Touch got better sound when the 2.36 update came out. I am going to get the GSM version of Galaxy Nexus. All in All great "real" review can't wait for mine!! When I get mine I probaly shoot a vid from my GS2.

[MsSoulsister13]

yo floss this review is great as usual :)

[himalaya1111]

Nice review

[ir0nhead11]

another solid review my man. keep it up

[blackberrykevo]

[JasperStevens1]

[same9871]

Thanks(:

[imstr8642212]

Nice review Famo but install dat 4.0.3 major improvements

[thatpretty09]

@imstr8642212 What are they?

[mudvayne200580]

sup floss.hey how did u get servise on the gnex if u didnt buy the phone on a contract.just wondering ! thanks.

[Quevision]

What about the blutooth?

[DaftBrian]

Awesome review.

[PocketMadness7]

a review of the htc sensation xe? :)

[PillzBerry27]

Great phone but if you want to save battery, turn off the 4G LTE off. Hey Floss, you should to the phone of the year.

[torridsaber]

i think the galaxy nexus was kind of a showcase for android 4.0, I wouldn't give up my photon for it. the 720p screen looks nice though.

[Shakumen]

I have been searching all over for a Galaxy Nexus vs SG2 Epic Touch video. I am looking forward to you comparing the both. Samsung did a really nice job on the Epic Touch with many little advanced things like camera editing software, great camera with settings, obviously great screen (Super Amoled Plus), incredible processor, and I love the Touch wiz 4.0 along with the Android 2.3.6 which works fine. Once you get passed the new-ness of ICS and all, which is really a better phone?

[Shakumen]

@Shakumen Also I wanted to add, how important is the Super Amoled HD display compared to the Super Amoled Plus display? I know HD display is higher resolution, but on cell phone screen sizes, does it matter much? Like if I had a 5 mp camera and a 20 mp camera but I print an image 4x6, you wont see the extra resolution and detail. Does that same theory apply for cell phone screens because the image is only but so big?

[nicegoodspeed1]

@Shakumen well you have a point. Normally specs of smart phones evolves because technology evolves. More and more technology wants to be viewed at a bigger screens and imagine just using a phone, you can already output a clear video on wide screen tv. :) Well basically HD has better quality than amoled plus display. But still I agree with most people to just buy phones that fits your lifestyle. :)

[wilddeserter]

cool man, i am arbian, i like ur reviewes thanks alot bro. peace on you

[ANDROIDDIVA202]

Thank you for another great review Mister FLOSSY. Of course, everytime i watch your videos i am introduced to an application needed to make my EVO uber-efficient. I went over to the market and downloaded Volume Control + and it is a *Definite Go*. Much respect, Lisa.

[wirypodge]

Hey thats my skyrim video haha good shout floss :D

[kayjay178]

@equalizir1 @shortdom107 its called multicon

[stevenojops]

It's real GO review.

[Devdog1618]

thats a lot of apps on one of your screens lol

[dalelewis1610]

Can't find volume plus???

[SHWELL11]

@dalelewis1610 Search Volume+



[Kr4zi4ur0mg]

Real talk review here haha. Homie you just got another subscriber.

[LeonAQXX]

I like the screen on the SGS2, it has better resolution but its has more contrast.

[supreme4ifel]

Google gang

[MrKCheat]

Sweet ass phone. Right now rocking droid bionic and extended bat.. loving that life expand is like 15 hours but this phone looks damn hot man. birthday in 2 1/2 weeks.. elgible for upgrade in week before then.. So yeahhhhhhhh baby lol. This phone is damn hot man. Really give this phone some thought. Keep making tight ass videos. This been best I've seen out there for phone lately.

[asher6ix]

good review bro.

[shortdom107]

Hey floss how u get all those small apps on one screen what app is that called in the market also I have the epic 4g touch is it worth upgrading after I just got the 4g touch months ago or....let me know.

[AZ18ZZ]

This fone is wavey lol with that ice cream sandwich its a awesome done for real

[Crush777]

Still can't make up my mind. Galaxy SII or Galaxy Nexus? Decisions, decisions. . . . Great review nonetheless.

[equalizir1]

Another great review Floss. I noticed one of your homescreens had about a hundred apps on it. Is that an app or a widget? What's it called?

[43strada]

Hey floss can you delete all apps running in task manager at the sametime instead of doing it one by one

[43strada]

Yo u better choose the epic touch as winner next vid..lol

[MrBrandonsoft]

love this phone

[DanteDVMC4]

This review...this review is a solid 10...but wait...it seems we have one hater among us. *cough* douchebag...

[charleemurphey]

is there an app that you can get to make your wallpaper pitch black?? I got the galaxy s2 and want to get a dope all black background.

[SSfredoX3]

Great review. Looks pretty legit. It's a go!

[GiantDoucheNG]

Does it have ANY tactile feedback?

[lopezpm]

Good review as always!! Only thing....us there a case on the phone? Make reviews without the cases on the phones.

[JSantana319]

This phone is awesome and I do admit the screen is amazing, but I still prefer the original Galaxy S2 over this phone.

[rightwing8877]

what case is that?

[ay69n]

Floos u a major GO , and i give u the floos seal of approval man LOL

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@ay69n lol thats whats up my dude! lol

[pkilla617]

@floss do think is worth upgrading from a nexus s with I.c.s. its identical

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@pkilla617 hell yeah! its a dual core processor... the OG nexus s is washed up!

[PANTIEEATER]

HEY FLOSS WHERE CAN I GO TO CHANGE THE LED? THANX

[pabellony]

for me the Samsung Epic touch 4 G is better than the Nexus Prime. Real G 4 LIFE

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@pabellony hummmm why u say that? its missing a lot of new shit fam!

[slimbible]

i found it, does it work if im not rooted

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@slimbible yup! no root needed!

[shawn12333027]

thanks for the poweramp tip works great

[slimbible]

i dont see it in the market is it "volume plus" or volume +

[SHWELL11]

@slimbible Volume+, no space

[luxurytag]

Thanks for the review. Volume+ really helps the sound.

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@luxurytag no prob! its a definite must have for the nexus!

[dgreg493]

Aight floss...so what's the way to go? I have the Epic now on Sprint. Should I wait for ICS on it or go with the Nexus on Verizon? I feel like the epic screen is just as black but the resolution isn't as good. Other than that specs on the Epic are a lil better. What u think?

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@dgreg493 well i wouldnt say go change carriers just for ICS, but ICS is the truth! the epic will get it next year, so the epic is still a good phone... (who am I kidding, I'd get the nexus) lol

[gsharpshooter80]

Merry Christmas Flossy and thanks for the review, thumbs up !

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@gsharpshooter80 same to you Homie! happy holidays!!

[musik0009]

Its ya boy Rekless yo floss that facial recognition can be unlocked with a photo try it ...but that display is on point for sure and i love the task manager

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@musik0009 lmaooo i did, shit is funny... you cant use that if you got dirt on your phone, you better use the pin number! lol

[blackice214]

Yea cant wait until the Galaxy s2 gets icecream sandwitch it will be the best android phone outhere.

[andreww1212]

@blackice214 Yeah man. I have the Galaxy S2 Skyrocket. It's great with Gingerbread but with ICS it will be fucking incredible.

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@andreww1212 lol hell yeah!!!!!

[DaArtist401]

I don't have a galaxy nexus. But the device looks awesome. I'm hoping it comes to sprint some time in the near future(mostlikely it will when Sprint gets its LTE network going) ICS' color scheme reminds me a lot of the recent movie Tron Legacy. I think Tron Legacy backgrounds or themes would look awesome on ice cream sandwich with this phone

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@DaArtist401 lol thats true, and they have a nice adw tron theme with live wallpaper and clock... its sick!!!

[nate123450]

what home screen widget are u using? i cant find it on beautiful widgets...



[FLOSSYCARTER]

@nate123450 its honeycomb theme

[knuradeen]

flossy cant find you on face book

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@knuradeen its Flossy Ciroc-Obama Carter

[nate123450]

where did u get ur black wallpaper floss?

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@nate123450 i just cropped it from a black and red zedge wallpaper...

[edmmman]

I need that shirt! Lol!

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@edmmman lmaoooo im gonna get some more made up..i'll keep you posted Fam..

[EL3VISION]

love this guy...ty

[FLOSSYCARTER]

@EL3VISION haha thanks Fam!
