  • the fact it takes him until 0:45 to unlock it isn't exactly encouraging

  • Hm; cool OS :D Andoid phones are pretty sweet. But one thing that really puts me off is that you aren't guaranteed to get the latest OS a few months after the phone comes out :/ Plus it's not that easy to sync with your computer. looks like I'm sticking with my iPhone for now. If they fix those issues I'd be happy to give them another go.

  • I Have an Android and i have the back , home and the settings button do i still get the buttons on my screen?

  • Android Is the Best!!!

  • Now i know your pass :F

  • wii mote is betta

  • thats a pretty badass view

  • at 2:40 is the best of all sounds

    Listen carefully

  • DAMN!! still you can NOT pause when recording! yeah..you'll say that "man, you can stop recording an rec again.. and put together the clips with video edit." Well, i don't want that! one video recording, pause when i want and rec again. U800 remain my soul phone

  • can someone please explain to me how this is going to change my htc rezound . whats gonna be diff when the upgrade come?

  • @shujaagreen It'll have all those awesome features like the face unlock, the ability to view all the apps running. Stuff like that, but it will be running Sense!

  • there is nothing automatic lol it's all software! Nothing new here all borough stuff from windows phone and IOS5? still the widgets and that home page screw everything! lol I mean since tiles in windows phone and windows 8, icons and widgets are pre-history! lol Despite the OS the device is amazing but all Samsung screens are it's a shame the body is always cheap plastic

  • Windows Phone really sucks!!!!!!!!!

  • Perfect OS!!!!!! Much best than iOS or that garbage called Windows Phone

    Android, GO!!

  • Hey guys!! About the punch in the face, I was joking ^^

  • This device is ugly and brings nothing new...

  • @Yuze86 there's an emergency call button.appareently I haven used android.

  • is the video shoot in Hong Kong?

  • you said Android 4.0, or Honeycomb! FAIL! lol

  • in b4 shitstorm

    op is faggot

  • the phone is so ugly!

  • @FbgBoy ugly? are you joking? that curved 4.65 inches of shiny gorilla glass i s preeeeetttttyyyyyy

  • @TheNondiscriminatory The design is ugly, it's getting worser! Thought that when Samsung Galaxy s2 came, that they their revolution will begin but no.

  • 12345 as your password? What a dumbfuck.

  • Comment removed

  • @FiqFloyd You do realize that's not his phone right? At events the press are handed out X amount of demo devices to have a play with while their there to see what its like for themselves

  • What city is that?

  • Can you configure the order of the home back and menu buttons at the bottom?

  • S2 will get ics update

  • And as with all Android devices, the response of the touchscreen when you do a sweep gesture sucks.

  • the last thing is crazy... how exactly did they do this? btw cool review thanks!

  • Vote this up if you love how it looks when you swipe between apps lol.

  • I hope LTE doesn't ruin this phone. I like incredibly fast speeds as much as the next Guy, but I'd like my phone to last more than five hours. Either way I'm still getting it lol

  • Awesome review can't wait! so getting it... do u know if u can change the 16gigs to 32gigs?

  • Buying on of these as soon as I have the money! Goodbye Samsung Galaxy S2, hello Galaxy Nexus!

  • Is there any mention about this being released for older models like Desire HD? I just love the new android, and I gues the new sense that comes with it will be sick.

    I do have my hopes on XDA developers. They have done miracles in past, and I'm sure the'll deliver again. Respect.

  • Icecream cupcake

  • When is it coming out? (Sorry for the obviousness of the question)

  • lol: ios5 is better

  • @XareSoft Sorry Apple fanboy. iOS sucks. It's slow, looks shit and isn't based on linux! And Steve Jobs is dead. Muhahahahaha. YOUR FUCKIN GOD SUCKS DEVIL'S BALLS NOW!

  • @Poockiy i was being sarcastic

  • @XareSoft thanks Satan!

  • @Poockiy Satan? what? it seems that ur confusing me with ur mom

  • @XareSoft I like the smell of noobs

  • is the voice recognition needs internet connection?

    cool UI, but need to find out what's new with the ICS more.

  • Comment removed

  • This puts ios 5 in shame. It just goes to show how more andanced android os is compared to the never changing featureless ios. If you want the most cutting edge technology its no brainner that you should get android, otherwise everybody who are technology ignorant should just stick with ios!

  • @taeyeonsaga It takes two or three repeated gestures to register an input on the demo model of the flagship. Even with more than a GHz processor, this hardware-software combo is buggy, sluggish and unresponsive. I'm no fanboy. I want to like Android. I have the Droid OG. I had the Nexus S for a month. Whenever I pick up an iOS device, it makes me sad bc there's no denying that iOS responsiveness blows Android out. The original 2007 iPhone's ui is quicker than the always-delayed latest Nexus.

  • @jkirk1626 Your wrong, the only reason it takes him 2 to 3 repeated gestures to register input is hes not probably not use to the onscreen navigation or hes not pressing the icons right. Have you seen other hands on videos of galaxy nexus? All the reviewers says its blazing fast and no mention about the lag. Ice cream sandwich is optimized to work well with the hardware so it would be faster than previous versions of android.

  • @jkirk1626 Also, have you ever rooted your android phones? I also have an original droid 1 rooted and 3rd generation ipod touch with ios5 and i can honestly say that my rooted droid 1 with liquid gingerbread rom is way faster. The only reason why ios seems faster is because it doesnt give you a lot of options compared to the powerhouse platform of android. Ice cream sandwich will focus on smoothness through hardware acceleration which will be as smooth as ios while still being a powerhouse os.

  • @jkirk1626 So once again android will blow ios because it has better multitasking handling, more options, and more customization. In terms of technology the android platform is just way more advanced than the aging ios which didnt improved much over the period of 5 years.

  • @FahadRyu smooth is ICS. IOS is pfft

  • android 4.0 or honeycomb? really? ...yeah i caught that

  • androids support bluetooth and flash, iphone doesnt but smooth

  • i have iphone 4, Motorola milestone xt720 on froyo, and blackberry baby bold, i cant get enough, im confused between androids and iphones. now i like galaxy nexus icecream , should i buy...wtf

  • ANDROIDominates

  • face lock, man android is like FBI agency security system

  • 2:40, I hear an iPhone/iPod charging in the distance....

  • is there any roms out for this yet?

  • I don't think your camera likes andy 4:20

  • Buen video

  • THIS IS BETTER THAT iOS5 for sure.

  • @RomanZesCo7 And Winblows Phone 7.

  • Comment removed

  • @RomanZesCo7 very true. but it had beaten it because its developed from copying ios, for years.

    good work though. if it was more stable I would buy one.

  • @yourdailycydiafix more stable? your an idiot. look at the video. tell me whats unstable. and no, it didnt copy ios. alot of settings and features were original. like widgets, drop down bar, multitasking capabilities, cloud storage and wirelsss sync(all of which the iphone finally has, 4 years leater) and it even had video chat first, without wifi!!!(evo 4g) NOT TO MENTION ANDROID WAS IN DEVELOPMENT A WHOLE 2 YEARS BEFORE IOS, you drooling ignoramus.

  • @TheNondiscriminatory android users just don't get it... sigh

  • The phone is fascinating just because of the new ice cream sandwich.. Once other phones gets updated to ICS, galaxy nexus would not be that great anymore.

  • @legendkillerpunt SAMSUNG IS NOT A GOOD PHONE THEY ALL ARE CRAP

  • @carlosvaldes2007 iphone fanboy go spend money on shit

  • @carlosvaldes2007 Samsung isn't a phone you dumbass.

  • @deeindeein oh no soo soo why tmobile is selling samsung phones dude if u r saying samsung inst a phone dumass

  • @carlosvaldes2007 Um I think samsung is the name of the company that sells phones, not the actual phone unless your talking about Samsung galaxy.

  • @StrickenWithFear anyway samsung galaxy is a crap of phone the best one market is htc dude is the best phone ever made on the history

  • @carlosvaldes2007

    HTC and Sammys are good, you're the fanboy who's crap !

  • @carlosvaldes2007 LOL what a retard. Samsung isn't a phone. Last time i checked, there wasn't a phone salled "Samsung."

  • @legendkillerpunt It'll still be great. It's a Nexus. No bloatware and no custom skins will be put over it. HTC will make a version of Sense to go over it, Motorola will make a new Blur and they will both slow down the phone. It'll also get the updates before any other phone.

  • @TheFarmerDeBoer I hope Google puts a stop to Moto ruining good phones with crapware.

  • @TheFarmerDeBoer and xperia play is getting stock version! I cant wait :)

  • @legendkillerpunt *Stock* Android 4.0. That, and getting full Google support are some of the reasons why this phone will be great for buyers once we're well into 2012.

  • Nope none of your dumb ways of someone else unlocking the phone with face unlock will work confirm by Google so yea nothing to worry bout. Plus if it can't see you. Can still use the pad lock and etc. Which is secondary when using face unlock. So shut up

  • Did you say "Honeycomb"?!

  • watdahell. panoramic view?? it can do that...!!!! 

  • They didn't add too much to ICS jus a new UI and some added features. Pretty much it.

  • I wouldn't use the face unlock feature cuz someone can just show a picture of u and itll unlock

  • @amagalued23 they addressed this specifically and that's not true.

  • @amagalued23 Do you realize how ignorant that sounds? It scans various parts of your face to unlock. It doesn't magically know what you look like, you have a specific face structure and such.

  • anyone who said this was a copy of any iPhones either blind or just being stupid

  • 2:00 song name ? :(

  • How does this phone copy the iphone lol?

  • why this video set looks like engadget video review one? same place, same view, and the same factory

  • @kaktuspot because its normal practice for companies to invite more than just 1 journalist / website when they unveil such a big product. You think only endgadet was the only company covering the event? lol.

  • 1:44 WOW. android really has a lot of nerve. and android drones say that they're not apple copy cats. well who cares. it may have the look, but not the heart.

  • @TheJustincase4 You do realize android has had voice commands for about a year and a half, where as apple just got it with the iphone4s?

  • @djAmored no dude sorry. i never said android doesn't have voice command. it would be stupid to assume they don't. But first, you can't possibly compare android's basic voice command to Siri. Otherwise, Siri wouldn't be as popular as it is. Secondly, voice command was on the iPhone 3Gs, so do your research before you try to be smart with me. Fail dude. Fail.

  • You do realize that Android has had voice commands for a year and half before apple did with the iphone 4s? I am not talking about apps, I'm talking about built into the operating system.

  • @TheJustincase4 thats a really old android feature....

  • @TheJustincase4 lol your an idiot

  • 2:38 sound like a lot of iPods and iPhones charging. I feel like apple is gonna sue android or use this to attack samsung again

  • @thelifesbegining they did that just to troll apple

  • imagine you get involved in a fight and they punch you on the face, you escape and u try to call the police and the face recognition is on but they punched you so hard that ur face is unrecognizable... you are f*cked...

  • @Yuze86

    Even if your face is fucked, you can unlock the phone using the gesture option. You see, this is not iPhone.

  • @Yuze86 As you can plainly see, there was a secondary way of unlocking the phone. In this case, it was the gesture. And I don't know if it's the same on this phone but on my Android, if I get locked out my phone I can also unlock it by entering my Google account details.

  • November 10th come already

  • how is the camera?

  • Android 4.0 is NOT honeycomb...Geez!

  • i wonder what would happen if you showed the phone a picture of the person's face

  • @phillip280 My understanding is that there's a "live" check which makes it easier to tell if there's a real person on the other end.

  • I want it!!!

  • Hahahaha i saw you password i will steal your phone and break the password

  • really it is not impressing this new phone and OS!!!

  • really not impressing this new phone and OS!!!

  • face recognition, nothing practically, what happens it somebody have a mask of our face????, android will care about it??

  • That panoramic shot setup is awesome.

  • why the hell is it called "ICE CREAM SANDWICH"

    what's next, google? 'cream cheese mousse with raspberry coulis'?

  • @BrEnNo1023 Because they name every new version of Android after a dessert, and they go after the alphabet. First came Doughnut, then Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb and now: Ice Cream Sandwich.

    The next one will probably be Jelly Beans / Jelly.

  • Beeeaassst!

  • This phone is crazy

  • Voice dictation is crazy wtf...

  • Nice

  • @akash 1229 gud question...lol...

  • face unlock is a very cool feature! and of course Google Bean !

  • Comment removed

  • Nice, you guys are so lucky to have these pre-release models. 4.0 ICS looks absolutely amazing. And that hardware is beautiful. Display is super clear. Phone seems to respond so fast. I'm sitting on the edge of my seat, waiting for this to hit the States, in mid Nov!!!

  • goddamn it.. Let me buy the phoneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • What if my phone soft crashes hangs? Do I need to shove those capacitive buttons up Google's ass to do a soft/hard reset?

  • could you use a picture of somone to unlock it?

  • That harbor is clean, where is that?

  • @popcrnshower Hong Kong

  • @Lewapolis thank you!

  • I'll be pretty pissed if 4.0 doesn't go out to all android devices made in at least the last year

  • LOL... Face recognition...

    So, what happens if I'm asleep & someone holds the camera to my face? Hmmm...

  • @Anamnesia It's pretty particular, so like, you could make it recognize you smiling, so unless you're dreaming of a sexy chick, that probably couldnt happen.

  • lol i love when people say you will look funny talking to a phone, its a phone, people talk with them in their hands. It will be the same as talking on the phone.

  • so face unlock only works if the lighting is the same as when you take the original. It looks pointless and slower than just doing the pass code. I have a feeling people are just going to use passcodes after like a week 

  • iPhone loading battery at 2:40 :)

  • THIS WILL BE MINE DAY ONE

  • When?

  • guys please , can i get an update of that on my galaxy tab 7 wifi only , appreciate the help :)

  • Finally a hands on that covered everything.

    It would be interesting to see if face unlock works under low light

  • I'm honestly sick of people comparing every phone to the iPhone. The iPhone is smooth and sleek, but it is old news now. The new update sucks balls. OHH SIRI. seriously? haha have fun talking to your phone in public and looking like an ass hole. this phone will be just as smooth and let you do so much more (one great example is NFC).

  • Android 4 will be available for most android phones right? Like the Galaxy S2?

    Soon?

  • @seafireliv no. Just for Nexus Galaxy, Nexus S and probably the Samsung Tablet.

  • @seafireliv nope..... just google to the core phones like the nexus s or galaxy nexus

  • Lord have mercy. ICS is totally tits. I want this sexy ass phone.

  • Damn I'm haven a debate should I get this or gs2 but idk if this phone coming to tmobile yet but I hope it do so I can compare it wit the gs2

  • Why do all these tech. guys insist on rushing to make these hands on vids w/out familiarizing themselves first . It makes the devices look like their crappy when it's actually being used in the hands of crap.

  • @mrscrewsoya

    Let me get this straight. You're worried it'll be difficult for you to press a finger, upon a super responsive touchscreen, for a 1/100th of a second to snap a pic w/out ruining it. I'm sure you'll have no worries once you go hands on w/ the cameras UI.

  • "Android 4, or Honeycomb" you mean Ice Cream Sandwich?

  • Comment removed

  • some of the animations look iOS(ish) but I would prefer Ice Cream over iOS 5

  • taking photos would be hard without any capture button

  • android wipes it ass with iphones. Android OS has exceeded my expectations and iphone is still disappointing as ever.

  • i think its faster than any android i've seen before..nice

  • What lag? Lags are no more on the new android phones

  • nice view you got there man! haha

  • What carriers r getting this phone? I have an upgrade! Don't want the 4s!

  • Chill out with the Android and iPhone comparisons. They all do the same shit for the most part. Its all about preference

  • just remember few simple reminder to iPhone user: android can customize, have thousand of FREE apps and the UI is far more advance. and the software is open source.
