Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review - Part 1

http://www.wirefly.com/learn

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Verizon Wireless is the latest in Google's line of pure Android phone. The Galaxy Nexus breaks the mold by being the first to use Android 4.0 (also known as "Ice Cream Sandwich") as its operating system. With a dual-core processor, a 4.7-inch 720p display and 32GB of onboard storage, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus immediately becomes the benchmark among Android phones.

They just updated quadrent and it now supports ICS, multiple cores and has now fixed the low framerate on PowerVR SGX 540 Which is the GPU in the galaxy nexus. I got a total score of 1998.

@2silvertv Yes, I've been downloading and working with the new version of Quadrant for the past week or two. You can see it in the Samsung Exhibit II review video I posted today.

No way to fix it in these older videos, though.

@wirefly Hey Bob which do u prefer the note or nexus?

[wirefly]

@soleil3gs I haven't seen a Samsung Galaxy Note yet but am very interested in checking it out. So, I don't have an opinion on that match, unfortunately.

Bob i hear the galaxy nexus, and the droid razr had pentile displays i mean i love how they are both super amoled and all but i always heard pentile makes things look blocky and grainy, do u get that at all on either phone?

[wirefly]

@nuffsaidguy No, I don't get that at all on either phone. HD video looks great on both those displays. I've been in the video industry for many years and have a good idea what constitutes a good image, and both the Galaxy Nexus and the DROID RAZR look very good. Neither has any blocky artifacts I can see.

@Luke0003 I actually discuss the 4.7/4.65 thing in the video. And the only version officially available in the US is the 32GB version -- anything else is gray market. (The GSM version is not available in the US.) And yeah... I pointed to the wrong location for the notification light. At least I knew it had a notification light.

Why the hell are you guys giving bob shit it was a good review

[2silvertv]

The reason why the benchmark noticed both cores is probably because it runs ICS which supports multiple cores.

@DonnyDon90 I agree and the specs on the re is better my imo and i wouldnt downgrade

[DETERMINOLOGY]

@pyro74boy I believe that as well..

[DETERMINOLOGY]

@MINIg435 You do got a point..The only hype around this phone is ics my imo the samsung galaxy s II epic touch has better specs and once it gets ics or any other phone this phone will die out..Dont get me wrong tho the nexus is a good phone but its meh as well
