Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich hands-on, Full Review & Specifications (HD)

[metal571]

i'm laughing so hard at the apple fanboys watching this video. this guy doesn't know how to use an android phone. period.

[ynwaREds86]

just wait for the SGS3..

[Sumrinkaur]

Nexus looks very old and ugly, the price is even too high. No attractive features.

I heard that the ICS is a mixture of honeycomb and gingerbread. Its too old technology.

In such case why do i not select a Nokia Lumia rather than the Nexus, Lumia looks much more attractive.

[gadda01]

why does android still look awful, apple managed to make iOS look better with loads less time on their hands, it still looks so burgh

[damienpenglin]

This asshole isn't even prepared to to a good review. Waste of time

[showerladdy]

Cracky UI with the widgets. Added cancel menu??? Already it's to much.

[guillo888]

I have an SGS2 right now and I can tell that it is the best phone I've ever had. Samsung is making incredible phones. Look at this one. I've gotta say that all the Samsung Android phones are good depending on the usage that you will give to them.

Samsung Team FTW

[Troubledyouth16]

Galaxy S2 LTE has the highest hardware specs for androids. The Galaxy Nexus may have the software but that is about it. Can't wait for ICS to come to my S2 LTE!

[bowserjr13XD]

i bet a fat guy saw it said ice cream sandwitch and clicked it , this phone is awsome! i need one of these

[SPLucas26]

@5230harsha you can do a lot more than that with an iphone if its jailbroken :P

[5230harsha]

guys apple phones are the best but with many disadvantages!!!! like u cannot see the battery of your phone at all how shit is that??? and if u want to connect to comp then it must be by i tunes only u cannot download software other than app store omg how fuck is that!!!??? android has overcome all those disadvantages therefore android rocked !!! and so many applications really its smooth and has awesome ui !!!!!!!! i phone is a phone in a CAGE !!!!!! really android rocks in all dimentions !!!! :

[razanet16]

Ah My Goodness i cant believe it This phone has beaten All shitty apple iphones Far away.. WOW SAMSUNG ROCKS..

[1skeeta4u]

loving my Samsung nexus, got rid of that stinking iPhone 4s... this is a great review for a good run around on the ics!

[theasylife]

Dam, why Verhighzon, I meant Verizon.

[SpankAgoose]

Where's the ice cream sandwich?

[xXDeViLRape]

I fucking want this now---

[nikekid009]

nice "full review".

[dan110024]

Jesus... Annotation overload. Annotations were the worst idea ever.

[kazooie14]

Is is better than S2

[NiCaoMa]

There's obviously no "Greg" in HK/China

[northernaids]

You're pretty boring, bro.

[btqy]

only have a 5 meg camera

[Birdmantheswift]

off course the webpage is blocked in china...



[UnstoppableBird]

@Birdmantheswift ur stupid if u think hong kong is china, the cultural difference makes China very different from HK sir

[bigacon]

what does ice cream sandwich mean? :DD

[fanofitsonalexachung]

@bigacon

Ice Cream Sandwich is another name for the new Android 4.0

[gabrielbalazs]

@bigacon for me, a fat piece of ice cream between two layers of biscuit :)

[allyoucaneat96]

/watch?v=m0dz0kIW_VE&feature=c­hannel_video_title  <-- OMG watch this

[kingdonkv]

all the Iphone 4s users who hate siri but love apple. gimme this a thumbs up ! i literally got frustrated with siri and i changed back to android.

[TheLocke1982]

Screw this roll on gs3

[utubenewbee]

I agree this guy can't use this phone well at all

[Khaos5591]

Can any one tell me what's a better phone the samsung galaxy nexus or samsung galaxy s ii skyrocket before I buy one

[Nherwyziant]

@Khaos5591 nexus

[SMarGwanS]

@Khaos5591 for now Nexus is better but w8 a lil but more im sure samsung will release another galaxy nexus with better camera and CPU(this is my geusses) becauze they always do this :D

[gabrielbalazs]

@SMarGwanS that way, u can wait 4ever :)

[InazzProductionZ]

@Khaos5591 Galaxy s2, Galaxy s2 has 8megapixel camera wheras the nexus s only has a 5mp camera, i know quality doesnt depend on megapixel but the camera on the s2 records at 1080p as does the nexus, but the picture quality on the s2 is better than the nexus. They both have a 1.2ghz dual core but! the galaxy s2 has a dedicated graphics chip but the one on the nexus is integrated with the processor which makes the phone hotter. the front camera of the s2 is 2mp but nexus has 1.3mp.

[InazzProductionZ]

@InazzProductionZ overall i would say the s2 is better because it has been officialy announced that the s2 will recieve the android 4.0 update. Galaxy s2 is also lighter by 30 grams they both feature a 1gb ram which evens them out in speed but graphics performance is slightly better in the s2 when i find more things il let you know =]

[spikeman23]

Lol. I've had the iphone 4s for only three weeks and i'm already bored with it. Siri is horrible and the battery life sucks.

[Romeworld95]

Mate, you clearly don't know what you're doing with the phone...

[mikee286]

eww it has no microSD slot!

android 4.0> IOS 5 though imo

[quest8899]

This phone is almost as good as the iPhone 4s

[DrZiggyzoo1]

@quest8899 Almost as good as the 4s????? BAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAH silly kid. Nexus > iPhone. And my personal preference Android > iOS

[HunterSTomsn]

@quest8899 That is exactly like saying "petting a guinea pig backwards is better than hypnotizing a hippopotamus to do your bidding".

[lewisner]

Is the data usage app available for the S2?

[amtab0901]

What devices is ice cream sandwhich on?

[KaneBHOP]

Wonder how many phone calls Ben Coulter has had since this video?

[CMue122]

As an umfortunate iPhone user, I feel like Ive been lied to. Getting this as soon as it comes out in US. Dont care what carrier has it.

[nathan775]

@CMue122 I thought it would be out, im sure its out in the UK as I can order it for delivery for saturday.

[jsasu3]

can u get anymore bubbles on the screen? @samjpullen has a nexus in hand and did a better review.

[NikkexD]

Just take my money!!!

[vladux90]

full review? yeah right...you wish.

[bluesphere65]

Firsr learn to use the phone so theeen you can do a review....

[ankdude123]

poor review..

this phone can do much better.. however i believe galaxy S III will definetly do much better than this one.. :)

[ninjaturtle205]

I scream sandwitch

[Dudewheresmybars]

Google has the dumbest names ever

[chltmdwp]

4:07 - 4:08 you hear the windows phone 7 text message sound!! ahaha

[Su8ject91]

@chltmdwp I lol'd when I heard that.

Think I'll stick with my S2 until either the S3 or iphone 5 (or, the long shot, if microsoft pull their finger out and get some decent hardware from their OEM's)

[LeftHandedDesign]

This is obviously the first time he's played with the phone and there's no thorough examination or criticism, so referring to this video as a 'full review' is a bit dishonest. With that being said, as long as it holds a charge throughout the day I"m buying it!

[universebig]

@slapthesausage I agree with ya.. It looks dull.. No offence..

[AugustDayz]

bye bye iphone

[slapthesausage]

is it just me or does this phone not look as cool or as awsome as its hyped up to be ? not hating or anything but yeah

[mistermarcusgmail]

@slapthesausage Problem is this guy has absolutely no clue how to demo this phone properly. He's making it look bad, quite frankly.

[Hazzonic]

why do people get new phones after five months? the improvements aren't worth it

[kaktuspot]

why this phone don't change the view into wide when this man make the phone in a taking pic position?? i think every touchscreen phone have this way. but not for this phone??

[ohdamn2468]

that is an amazing phone (: any news on what carrier it goes to yet?

[mosaas1]

@FreeFromWar ......... thnks

[XxT0kY0DrfTstYlExX]

@masaas1 switch to this one, im doing the same :)

[mosaas1]

i have an iphone 4 .... should i buy a 4s or switch to galaxy nexus

[MrAgbrown]

@mosaas1 switch to the galaxy nexus

[Malique8798]

@mosaas1 u can only switch if ur w/ Verizon and if u r then def switch

[FreeFromWar]

@mosaas1 If you want limited simplistic outdated technology that is highly restricted which is unable to connect with a computer without itunes, which doesn't allow you to share data via bluetooth, which doesn't have flash supported on its browser, and which requires you to download/buy a new app for virtually everything you do on your phone then you should go for the iphone.

[ninjaturtle205]

@mosaas1 wait till 2012 june and buy galaxy sIII which will be better than nxus. The iphone 4s is not that much of an improvement over iphone 4. and ur iphone 4 can last till 2012 june. But if u still want to upgrade go for the nexus it will feel like a change coming from the iphone4. IMO

[redclifdrago]

He's handling the phone like its gonna eat his Fingers Off!!

[YOOivansterr]

Wow, he really doesn't know how to use that phone.

[nofb1]

"Full Review & Specifications"? The presenter doesn't even seem to know how to handle an Android phone! "Mumbling while discovering a smartphone" would be more like it ;-)

Very annoying bubbles to close separately.

[XxT0kY0DrfTstYlExX]

@dankaren95 maybe it's that you are simple minded and find it complicated. iOS is too damn simple and repetitive (im writing this from my ipad), without jailbreak its almost nothing more than a grill of apps plus you need itunes for everything and its just not that awesome at all idevices are just gimmick. i love myipad but for a phine im actually getting this one

[dankaren95]

I wish Apple makes a phone is big. The OS sucks. It's to complex and not a simple as iOS from Apple. But then we don't live in a perfect world. Everything is great about Apple except the lack of Flash and screen size. Android, on the other hand, has everything else but a simple, user-friendly OS.

[uberAdamC]

@dankaren95 There are apps that can make it more simple. For one, I like the look of WP7 so I bought an app that makes it almost an exact replica of the OS. I have an OG droid so the simple interface doesn't slow it down as much as the android interface.

[Hsaithan93]

Can any one tell me when this will be released? Thanks



[bigballer101690]

@Hsaithan93 suppose to be released sometime mid November.

[bigbadasschaya]

@lapyro14. Firstly, Im not talking about the phones. Im talking about the OS. Its UGLY. Ive had several android devices and Im still using an android device but i cant stand the ugliness of the OS. Theres so many things wrong with the OS that im not even going to mention on this petty youtube comment.

And this is my opinion, you dont have to agree with it.

[Osmankhan786]

@bigbadasschaya I agree android is ugly, but have you seen android 4 completely? or have you ever bothered at looking at htc sense? google's aim was to make the os look good with ice cream sandwhich and i feel theyve succeded in doing so. and if you still have a problrm just get miui, its exactly like ios but with widgets.

[bgoodrick]

moar annotations plz

[Mr1987Lu]

dude has never used android before?

[drewisha]

This guy barely knows what he is doing

[point6000x]

If there no bad downsides this will replace my galaxy s2 :)

[mrkc1331]

worst hands on video so far

[Drwico]

dålig

[psychophobia666]

i can't wait the ics update for sgs2, this new os version seems more optimised, wich results in no lag.

[ycz04x02]

Sweet, but release it for the SGS2 aswell and it'll be sweeter.

[Zacisblackk]

This guy is having a hard time using it because it's making him nervous. He's never held such epicness in his hands before. I'm going to shake too when I have this thing in my hands. Whenever I hold an iPhone I feel like throwing it in a toy bin. I guess that's why people are starting to buy iCrap devices so their kids can play with it.

[AbsolutelyJosh]

Haha wtf "icecream sandwich" what a crap name LOL

[Zacisblackk]

@AbsolutelyJosh It's one of the most fun/interesting codenames I've ever seen used for a piece software or hardware. You must be really jealous huh. Maybe Apple should call iOS 6 rotten apple.

[mrkc1331]

@AbsolutelyJosh just had to remind you that the display & chipset for the IPhone is made & provided by Samsung so why not go the the source itself & get yourself a proper phone...not dissing the Iphone but let's be honest it's only advantage is its ease of use & design, its technology & innovation is not ground-breaking any longer Android took over...face it don't hate it!!!

[lapyro14]

@mrkc1331 a few fantastic points there

[AbsolutelyJosh]

@mrkc1331 yeah whatever the name for os was so funny xD

[MrDavidPartida]

Bigbadasschaya- you are stupid. You are not a Android lover... You are an apple fan boy. There is absolutely nothing to hate about this new operating system.

[joscity]

IS TH E TOUCH SCREEN RUBBISH OR IS ONLY ME SEEING THIS?

[Zacisblackk]

@joscity I see absolutely nothing wrong with it. The only thing I see wrong is the guy using it. Hes obviously never used an Android phone before.

[joscity]

@Zacisblackk ok then i guess is him

[SenorOsum]

@joscity It's only you seeing things.

[bigbadasschaya]

im all for android and google but google has no sense of style or design. ice cream sandwich and all the rest of androids themes are f. uc.king ugly. this is coming from an apple hater.

[lapyro14]

@bigbadasschaya so the nexus S and galaxy nexus having curved glass to suit the contours of your face is no sense of style or design? not to mention moving the power button to the side where your thumb or index finger naturally sits if your right or left handed respectively. dont even get me started on widgets and live wallpapers.

so your an apple hater 2, what does that mean your unfortunate enough to own a BB or still living in the 90's with a nokia?

[digitalartistfilms]

thank you youtube for giving us a button to shut those pop ups!!

[carloscadenza]

Couldn't this guy have spent 10 minutes figuring out how to use the phone Before making the video ? So amateurish.

[jononbass18]

@HottyRat galaxy nexus for sure it seems pretty awesome :-)

[jononbass18]

This phone is sweet! But I think I'm more excited for ice cream sandwich more than the actual phone :D

[FugazStar]

too much technology on his hands :P

[Sai9Ashwin]

this phone will kill iphone 4s for sure

[owazio]

@Sai9Ashwin Yes indeed! i am sick of my iPhone 3gs time to move on ;)

[SenorOsum]

@Sai9Ashwin I completely agree. Coming from a household full of Apple products, including an iPhone 4S, Android 4.0 is exactly what I'm looking for. It's smooth, intuitive, and beautiful, whereas iOS 5 is just an attempt to catch up with Android's progress and come across as "innovation"... what a joke. Every Apple fan-boy just makes himself look like an idiot; he prefers a boring grid of squares over a customizable world of possibilities called Android. We live in a sad, ignorant world.

[sparky111082]

Everyone call his contact person Ben Coutler 254-723-5861 XD

[068703925]

GG



[darkpill]

Wow - looks like you had a real hard time trying to figure things out.

[worldraven]

The big hump on top and bottom is ugly and bulky.

[MercurialZx]

Hey guys I wanna gain some more followers on twitter could any of you guys follow me i tweet about the latest phone news and sometimes about games my name is @PhoneTechNews thank you !

[bobbyright2010]

What a piece of crap

[tungmeister1234]

does this guy even know what android is?

[HottyRat]

I was planning to wait for the Galaxy S III that is said to becoming next year, but recently I lost my old iPhone 3Gs on the ground, and I fucked up the screen with a lot of cracks. Do you think I should wait for the S III, or buy the Galaxy Nexus?

[Zacisblackk]

@HottyRat The Galaxy Nexus will be a great experience. It will be buttery smooth and you will get the newest updates first straight from Google. The GSIII will probably come out April-May but won't be released in the US until fall. But it's going to be extremely powerful. That's why I plan on getting the Gnex outright and using my upgrade for when the GSIII comes out.

[MisterWJu]

@HottyRat There will always be a better thing coming. When the S2 came to the US some people waited from the Galaxy Nexus. Now people are waiting for the S3 which shouldn't even come out until April (probably not in the US)

[HottyRat]

@MisterWJu yeah, i know people are waiting, but I live in Norway, and the S II came earlier than in USA. so I guess april isn't that long to wait :)

[lapyro14]

@HottyRat my plan is to buy the galaxy nexus and sell it just before the GS3 comes out cz waitig until march/april is 2 long

[haroldz21]

@lapyro14 im thinking of doing the same, where would u sell it, ebay?

[febthemule1]

@lapyro14 why??????

[garyminion]

@lapyro14 That's exactly what I plan to do...Im waiting for the Samsung Galaxy S3 too but would def buy the Galaxy Nexus as an interim device.

[killersaad]

One phone to rule them all.

[Phenom69ll]

@thewiitry cool story bro.

[Phenom69ll]

@legendseriousboy the screen resolution (size) is 720p, but you can record 1080p videos with camera and play them

[sickcos]

i guess ben is a lot of calls

[viranijoush]

This guy suck.. He don't know how to use this phone..

[KazekamiShirotsuki]

@viranijoush not this guy suck but the phone is too cool that he could not understand how to use this cool phone yet!!

[GreenAmigos]

@viranijoush

your english suck...



[Antitrush]

Nombre ridiculo.

[aPinar1]

The headset under!!! Bad!!!

[pabellony]

Windows 8

[Phenom69ll]

SOFTWARE BUTTONS SUCK!!!!

[Choice777]

@Phenom69ll u suck

[Phenom69ll]

@Choice777 all the apps will have this stupid row of buttons under them :/ so they wont really be fullscreen will they?

[paice95]

@Phenom69ll I don't know about the apps, altough Samsung said that when playing videos or movies fullscreen the three buttons will disappear to take advantage of the whole screen.

[Choice777]

@Phenom69ll well at least there's no dust to get inside the butons, and no way of wearing the buttons.

[chazjamie30]

And how do u get to the recovery screen

[chazjamie30]

Can u root this phone?

[MrNicksterW]

@chazjamie30 You will be able to about a week after it is out. You can root every android device, it just takes time to figure a few things out.

[GAMINGFOREXPERTS]

this is BAD PEOPLE CALM DOWN.. GALAXY S3 will strike SAMOLED plus screen! so 30% pixel density!

this phone will get old soon!

[ifknw]

Now I have no clue as to which phone im gonna buy

[GAMINGFOREXPERTS]

@ifknw

u buy GALAXY S3 coz it will have SAMOLED plus screen so SGS3 WILL HAVVE 30% better screen!

this will get old so fast!! trust me!

[akocern03]

@ProGamer3214 yes. it will work even without a simcard

[thewiitry]

Android stole inertial scrolling. The app store. Multitouch user interface. Mobile Safari. The entire blueprint for Apples touch based interface design. They copied everything which MADE an iPhone an iPhone. The notification system, or whatever other "features" the Fandroids claim Apple stole from Android is not what made Android. The things that made Android were the same exact things as the iPhone. Mobile browser, multitouch interface, and apps. All the things that Apple designed. All you n

[seespizzle]

Apple has also gained inspiration from other companies:

1960s-braun-products-hold-the-­secrets-to-apples-future

Forward progression in os development is a good thing, don't fight the progression of apple by allowing them to be complacent with their place in the mobile market. Both are great systems and it is a matter of personal opinion.

[SuperAtha17]

@thewiitry it would have been impossible for android to not take these features when making a phone. take the app store. you can't have a smartphone these days without an app store. as for mobile safari, i f you're just talking about mobile internet that was out way before the iphone. actually, smartphones existed way before apple came up with the iphone and included things like multi-touch user interface. apple took everything from those smarthones, polished them up and marketed them heavily.

[SenorOsum]

@thewiitry You might want to do some fact checking. Those features had been around years before iPhone. Ever heard of R.I.M.? Fan-boys.

[economytrouble]

@thewiitry ur point?

[justmemit]

The multitasking reminds me of palm's webos.

[akocern03]

@justmemit because the one who designed webOS is also the one who designed this.

[datandrewkid]

Why are people complaining about the camera ?! so what if it has a 5 megapixel camera ! this phone is a beast ! and it can still record in 1080p ! i want this phone !

[skeptic9876]

the new on screen buttons they've added takes a fair chunk away. I think i'd prefer the space to put widgets & shortcuts :/ be interesting to see what HTC does with sense running ice cream.
