  • it look amazing really

  • i rather the galaxy note but nexus run ice cream sandwich os ;(

  • And I thought console wars were freaking annoying :-/

  • poor apple

  • Beautiful

  • Thanks for the info guys, but I have decided to get the 4S. I am fed up with Samsung and Google. I plan things ahead in life and these two idiots have caused me much anxiety, so the only way to get rid of that is to join my family to IOS. F**k you SAMSUNG. F**k you GOOGLE. F**k all you writers who have been tempting me with your stupid articles.

  • @dankaren95 You do know that the iphone is powered by a Samsung processor right? LOL you also know by gettting the iphone you just downgraded your phone. I hate waiting for new phones to come out just as much as you do but come on don't base the Android user experience based on the fact that the Galaxy Nexus has not come out yet. Hell Verizon has already said that the GN will be out before the end of this year and also remember that the iphone is not a 4G LTE device really do your homework.

  • @pyro74boy I know. That's why I canceled my order already. LOL>

  • @dankaren95 You canceled your order on the Galaxy Nexus and went with the iphone 4S WOW talk about a EPIC FAIL ON YOUR PART LOL!!!!!!.

  • @pyro74boy No, I couldn't order the Nexus let. I am in the States. I canceled the 4S.

  • @dankaren95 Oh never mind then. I misunderstood. Good for you then. Should be around anytime.Hope the nexus comes out soon now.. And bravo for not being a part of the crowd that falls so easily for marketing, branding and acting like they have some status symbol.

  • @pyro74boy The game Samsung, Google, or Verizon is playing has been driving me nuts. After watching many reviews on the Nexus, I decided to get the 4S instead. I am very happy with it. The only thing I don't have is 4G and a big screen for browsing. I don't need NFC and the ability to customize my phone with widgets. Other than that, the 4S brings with beauty (design), comfort (simplicity), convenience (imessage, icloud), and fun (same network, ios) - though I use only a few apps.

  • @dankaren95 You have 30 days to return the iPhone. Take care of it till then. Then recheck and decide. The iPhone is good but boring now. I think you made a mistake.

    In a way, good you did that. We are all sick and disgusted with not just the delay, but moreso, absolutely no firm date or even any formal statement. Pathetic on their part.

  • To whom it may concern:

    Apple announced the iphone 4S and then a week later made it available to its customers. You, for some reason, are playing games with the public, opting to conceal the availability date of the Galaxy Nexus. Don't think too highly of yourselves as your crap is NOT made of gold or diamond. Keep playing your stupid games. I am getting the iphone 4S. SCREW UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @dankaren95

    That's the problem with Android. They give us some ambiguous "coming soon" instead of an actual release date. That's just dicking around. But, still, this phone does look very impressive.

  • sooooo beeeeeeeaaaassssst......

  • When it launches in the UK it will be 3G. They said they will support LTE depending on demand. Is it a software or hardware update??

  • @Tazy50 The menu button is in the top right corner when there are menu items

  • im hearing december release for verizon now.

  • Video is well done, I like how the usually annoying background noise from the venue has been substituted for a studio audio recording; very nice! Should become standard for all trade fair based video presentations – or I'll just prefer AndroidCentral for all future Android features!

  • does anyone if this is going to be for at&t??? cause I'm bout to dip on apple I'm bout to get this shit one way or another!!!

  • No menu button?! Are you serious?!

  • @Tazy50 Those buttons are what I would call smart buttons, meaning that they change depending on whats needed. Menu buttons appear when required, it's pretty cool. :)

  • @Tazy50 ICS will take advantage of the new "action bar" instead of relying on the menu button.. Also, if an application isn't made for ICS, then a small little button appears at the bottom that acts like a menu button.

  • zomg finally someone shows interesting stuff that people use like messaging and the dialer. THANK YOU for not just showing us face unlock and flipping between homescreens 800 times. My gosh some of these nexus reviews are making me want to pull my hair out.

  • This phone is taking tooooooooo long for announcement for release and who's getting it? I have an upgrade! Or I'll just wait for the next ICS phone?!

  • Samsung is trying so hard to be like Apple..

  • @DavidArch2012 yeah, and so far, they're kicking Apple's ass......fuck apple

  • @LordWhorfinX2 Actually in terms of profits, they're not kicking Apples ass in the slightest. Why so much hatred?

  • @SporadicMuffin profit? Sure. They over charge people like no other.....apple is not that great at anyhting.

  • @LordWhorfinX2 You're exaggerating. The iPhone is priced perfectly and so is the MBA. In fact, Apples prices are more or less spot on when you take into account that all of their displays are great, all their keyboards are good, and they have by far the best trackpads.

  • @DavidArch2012 you couldnt be more wrong.... disappointing that people believe this. Android is so Different...

  • @DavidArch2012 how is SAMSUNG trying to be like apple?? if anything, u mean android/google. and in that case, u r incredibly mistaken.

  • @thebearsblack Nah, he means Samsung. Galaxy S looked like the iPhone and Touchwiz is kinda copying iOS.

  • when is this beast suppose to be released here in the US? does anybody know?

  • its WAAAAY too blue! Idk why they went with that color, they shoudlve stayed with green. After all android is green...

  • What's the point of Siri? Edwin (Android) does the same thing, and Siri has been around since 2006, but now she's a native app. Siri even stole some of her jokes from Edwin.

  • On an iphone, the number of screens you have depends on the number of icons you have. In Androids, some are preset to 5 or 7. Is this Galaxy Nexus the same way? It may look brilliant and all, but at the same time it also looks very complex - not as simple as IOS.

  • @dankaren95 Um no, on ANY android phone/ tablet you can have an unlimited no. of app drawers (vertically or horizontally) it just depends on how many apps you have. What Android OS does better than iOS is adding the extra 5-7 homescreens which, you can freely customize any way you want.

    Looks complex? iOS is a bad comparison because all iOS is is just an app drawer; A grid of apps as your main homescreen. Android 4.0 is simplistic, but you can make it look complex.

  • @shockwave2291 I like that fact that the number of screens depend on how many icons I have, instead of presetting it to 5-7, which defeats the idea of giving customers the ability to customize their phone. I sure hope Android 4.0 is simplistic enough to allow me to disable the preset 5-7 homescreen feature to as many as I want, particularly one or 2, depending on how many icons I have - just like in IOS.

  • @shockwave2291 Can you set the home screen panels to as few as you wish? I know on the Galaxy S2, you can set the home screen just to 2 instead of 5 or 7. Also, does this phone have a "STOCKS" app like in IOS? As for texting, does Android have something like TextFree?

  • @dankaren95 Android has stocks built in and a widget. And you can textfree, too. Whatever iOS can do, Android can, too.

  • @dankaren95 Android actually has a native textfree app, so you should be able to just log in with your old account from iOS

  • @xxhorseriderxxx Thank you for the info. I've always wanted the Nexus, but I am just tired of waiting for it as my wife has already had the iphone 4S. I like everything about the phone except its small screen, 3G, lack of Flash (although Adobe had already conceded that), & sluggish speed. I heard that the Nexus will have all of these, so I was wondering if the it also has simple apps like Textfree n Stocks the iphone has. I have stocks to watch and don't plan on paying for test messaging.

  • mad phone but the screen is inferior to S2. The people who know their shit about phones, know what I'm talking about. Overall - There is nothing special about this phone when compared to S2. So, I ll just wait for Galaxy S3. I heard it's coming out with SAMOLED Plus HD with 2GHz quad core processor.

  • @rahully2j Whatever you do, don't trust the rumors. Just wait until CES or MWC.

  • I love android. I hope the droid x gets this! I get a upgrade in april and unless there is another nexus phone out by then I would get this phone!

  • @Mcode3996 I guarantee you there will not be another Nexus out by then.

  • @ellisg2 That was a rumor.

  • in case you just simply adore a androide mobile, like this

    and if you love a whole lot androide like it on fb also

    on.fb.me\rzxVqX

  • @taylorpti I will when you learn how to spell Android

  • the little green robot it's very hungry for apples!!!

  • Samduck haters huh?

  • @Zacisblackk actually this device is at pair of the sgs2, maybe is more powerful because the Iva 3 codec HD video accelerator. That Gpu sgx540 its actually overclocked from his 200 MHz in the Nexus S to 384mhz in the galaxy nexus.

  • @loopmix69 Bo, Mali 400 destroys the SGX 540 no matter how much you OC it.

  • @SporadicMuffin check this goo(dot)gl/Eqyfk did you say something... the sgx540 surely destroys the mali-400... with data and the optimus 3d is @300mhz...

  • @loopmix69 It's like you seriously didn't even read that article.

  • Sony ericsson sucks fat dick

  • This is the best hands on I've seen so far I don't sleep to watch this galaxy nexus videos and hopefully it comes out in all the carriers especially T.mobile. Can't wait. And I'm guessing every one gonna have the same phone lol

  • I was a little disappointed with this device when it was first announced. Even though It's not up to par with the GSII in terms of hardware, I think I'm still going to get this. This thing is beautiful and the OS is enough to make me pass on other handsets. And that's saying a lot because I'm a spec freak.

  • much faster than my NS4G with ICS.

  • Google really should have gone after Nokia instead of Samsuck.

  • @Awayze Except Nokia uses Samsung tech? I think Nokia should stick with crappy WP7. That's where they belong. Samsung makes the best hardware of any OEM for Android and WP7.

  • Why doesn't it have a micro SD card slot or better music UI?!?!?!? I'll wait for Sony Ericsson''s dual core.

  • OK, ICS looks a bit better than I thought it would. But those application icons still look way out of place.. It's a step in the right direction, at least.

  • ive watched at least 30 videos about this phone... im looking at galaxy nexus videos as if it is porn.

  • Bows down to the greatness

  • Hardware acceleration <3

  • Not gonna i dont like how ICS looks... Anyways ill change it

  • not an iphone?......POOR!

  • I wont be paying. $10 a gig at all. Ordering mine from the UK for T-Mobile hspa+. Can't wait to finally have this phone in my possession . And yeah, you can call me an android phanboy. Its fine with me

  • I hope all the Android fanboys enjoy paying $10 / gig for data on Verizon.

  • looks like the guy doesn't really know how to use it

  • I don't like that they don't have a removable battery(Galaxy Nexus and RAZR).

  • @LilTortillaBoy314 galaxy nexus do come with removable battery but there is no microSD slot unfortunately

  • yuck, nokia looks a million times better

  • God I hope when all other phones get ics they don't put skins on top of it.

  • ICS looks great, but I feel like the design of the phone itself leaves some to be desired. To each his own, I suppose. 

  • If you open up an iPhone... you'll find it is powered by Samsung processors.

    Apple's new marketing slogan : "Samsung inside"

  • mehh.....

  • Best hands on I have seen so far. Thanks!

  • Hey, where's the drunk sounding guy?

  • Your Voice is awesome.

  • this is no longer a cell phone. this is a work of art.

  • @DAlax17 To be honest, it looks like shit, and I love the android concept but this just looks like shit.

  • the only thing i wish i could change is the lockscreen, i wish the camera and lock could swtich places

  • I'm glad I didnt upgrade my iphone 4 to the 4s. Now I can use my money to truly upgrade it to this baby!

  • Apple admitted that it CAN'T produce some parts of iPhone and without Samsung ... they're all just doomed. that's all.

  • @MineRescuer

    Companies have deals with other companies...Apple has worked with Google and Microsoft and vice versa. This isn't an all out war, to kill or be killed, it's business. Even with the given hatred between Samsung and Apple, there's still business to be done. There's no big company that's completely closed and independent, including Samsung.

  • Nice phone.

  • Whatever!

  • why do we need a super huge screen D= phones are way to big these days

  • @JBlanco4600 You don't, there are many devices ranging from 2"-5" displays, choose which device suits you best.

  • @JBlanco4600 today cell phones are media stations, that's why you need big screens

  • I thought it was a brilliant idea to record your voice afterwards, no noisy environments and you get the time to think what to say, which makes the information more compact and very easy to take in. you had a very good way of showing us this phone! Best hands on video so far.

  • i got the nexus s 4g great phone

  • Thumbs up for doing a voice-over so we can actually hear what you're saying :)

  • physically looks like a lazy design samsung galaxy 2. Android Os now looks like a bag of trash of icons, with more approved spy/adwares from google.

    Simplicity is key, even Micosoft 20yrs of OS experiences is working toward that.

  • @tube02148 i don't know why people think putting application icons and widgets to your homescreen are difficult. It's just a simple touch and drag. even my 5 year old brother can operate my android phone. LOL, are you that stupid to think that doing all of that is hard? LOLOLOL

  • sooo when can i get it?

  • I'd like it if it wasn't made by samsung...plastic pieces of trash. Motorola ftw

  • Honeycomb on phones, not much of an update.

  • omg, iphone i goodest in design and camera. dont like. iphone looks better.

  • stanmovies :thank you man..

  • whats with icecream sandwiches?

  • Can't wait to get ICS on my SGS II

  • some of of the reviewer like this is very stupid..those phone won't lag not thanks to their processor or hardware,it's because those demo phone didn't contain any large music or game file..which will eventually slow down the device a bit..

  • does it have siri ?

  • @ellisg2

    Does it? News to me. I know th Droid series uses an Omap processor.. and they've always been slower. Oh well. Either way, this thing will scream speed.

  • Google just took a giant shit on crapple

  • I (iPhone 4 user) have to admit:

    Apple got OWNEDDDDD right now.

  • If this phone is available for AT&T by Christmas, I know what i'm getting!

  • laggy shit

  • Jizzzzzz in my pants..

  • Great Audio! Not to worry guys! Any up to date Android will get ICS! just keep a case and cover on and enjoy till it updates! GO ANDROID!!!!

  • Pimp

  • Great mini review, best one i've seen so far. Waiting for the iFone fanbois to start talking about all the imaginary problems. Not much they can say after watching this video! Can't wait till it is available from Verizon!

  • Lol iPhone camera sucks now after ICS shutter lag 0 second comes to other phones lolololol!

  • @ThisLadChanny Even the HTC Amaze 4G and the MyTouch 4G Slide have better cameras than the iPhone.

  • @blane237 Have you seen the camera on the 4S? Be real here man.

  • @ThisLadChanny are you serious kid? iPhone 4S has best video and photo camera on smartphone, all reviews proved it, fucking fanboys ignoring reality...

  • @Lius525 Fucking dumb shit, its been proved on website that Samsung Galaxy S2 is better. LOOK ON THE REVIEWS DUMB EFFING SHIT. IM NOT FUCKING BIAS LIKE YOU! I HAVE SGS2 AND IPHONE4S DUMB AZZ!

  • @ThisLadChanny right, thats why are write with caps lock kid xD, iPhone 4S is faster and has better camera, gs2 has definetely some upsides as well, but saying that they have a better camera is a bullcrap. fanboy, all you can do is diss apple on android videos, look at iphone videos, people say things like "can't wait" or "this looks awesome", all you do is crappingon apple - get a life losers

  • @Lius525 I used caps COS IM SHOUTING AT YOU OKAY? Nice grammer by the way lmao! No iPhone 4S isn't faster in terms of CPU but GPU yes! Stupid or what? No it isn't, I swear don't you look up on the internet for comparison? Oh wait your dumb enough to call people kids whereas your the stupid kid here! 'Get a life losers' beast comeback, get educated and find a better comeback. Im no bias sht like you, I own iMac, Macbook air, iPhone 4S idiot. But I know true facts NOT FANBOYS LIKE YOU! Now eff off

  • @azlightning213 Yes it is.

  • love it

  • I just want 4.0 on my SGS II.

  • i want ice cream sandwich!

  • This phone defines hot sex

  • I want to see how a non ICS optimized app looks on the phone...one that utilizes a menu button.

  • @ABSODEZ The way I understand it, the menu button shows up on the bottom if the app uses it. Sweet eh?

  • F**king sexy!! Gotta have it!!

  • im buying 2

  • i want i want

  • I just want this phone so bad. Samsung just take my money already!!!

  • Now I just need to find a store I can go camp outside to get one the minute it launches... oh wait that's the other guys. I can just go and pick one up :)
