Having recently lost my last Nexus phone, a Nexus S, I had to look into buying a new phone. What better place to look than the (not so) new Galaxy Nexus. The improved processor does have the edge over my old phone in terms of performance, as does it's gorgeous AMOLED screen with it's vivid colours. Because it's a Nexus phone, it's easy to hack and modify to your liking (if you're that sort of person I am), and I find that the overall Google Android experience hasn't changed from my old phone. The Notification light on the front is also a very useful addition. I don't particularly like the lack of normal buttons on the front, with the area at the bottom of the screen serving as 'virtual' buttons. I also feel that the battery life, while much improved over my old Nexus S, was still a bit lacking. Overall, the money I spent was well worth the upgrade, even if hasty. Much more worth the money than a 4S.Read full review
Coming from an iPhone 3GS and not really wanting to go to another iPhone, I searched/waited 7-8months for a worthy alternative. Too many phones released in that period had some significant down falls (i.e. reception / batter issues) that I wasn't willing to make a compromise for. The Galaxy Nexus is a stunning phone. Simple design, amazing screen and best of all it runs stock Android Ice Cream Sandwich; so no annoying bloatware from Telco's & rubbish interface overlays like Touch Wiz. It will take some time to become familiar with all of the features of the phone & with Android in general but I really do enjoy it. Positives + Screen + Snappy performance (browser & general use) + Ice Cream Sandwich + No camera shutter lag + Simple design & light weight + Battery life* * I've been surprised by the decent battery life. I knew that a phone with a screen this large would struggle but I came across a power management app that has improved the performance of the phone. Note: I'm a moderate user. Negatives - Android software can lag sometimes when there is no network signal - Phone performance is average. Handset speaker is a little crackly but it is not a dire negative. Great phone overall. I do not miss iTunes or podcasts as I just drag and drop onto phone and there are some great music apps that sort out the rest for you. Highly recommend it!Read full review
Good: + Beautiful display, + Responsive interface, + Ice Cream Sandwich. Bad: - Missing some functions (timer, stopwatch, etc.). Meh: ~ One-day battery life (on average); ~ 13GB storage. I bought the Galaxy Nexus to replace my damaged HTC Desire - suffice to say I'm very happy with my decision. The GNex is a fantastic Android phone - the untarnished (no carrier or OEM changes) Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android is a pleasure to use. On the flip side, being unchanged has its downfalls - I've found that Android by itself doesn't include features such as a Timer, Stopwatch or some other functions you would consider "default". Not too much of an issue as there are a plethora of apps that add this functionality, but it'd be nice to have it baked in and not have to use a third party app with sometimes curiously intrusive permissions, and it's not so much the device as the operating system. It'd also be nice if the OS allowed more customisation without having to use third party apps (i.e. lockscreen). Battery life can be a bit of an issue (depending on how you use your phone) - I've found that on an average day (for me) I can get through and have 30-50% remaining when I go to charge it at night. Every time, battery usage has been dominated by screen drain - a necessary sacrifice if you consider how delicious the display is. The screen on the GNex is just beautiful - clear, colourful, sharp... a definite cut about the grainy SLCD on my old HTC. Being at a HD (qHD) resolution is also a plus if video quality matters to you. Just fitting all your HD media on the device MAY be a problem... I love the additional storage space - ~120MB in the Desire is just not nearly enough - but I'd like more than the GNex's 16GB for my media. For apps and general data the 16GB is more than enough, but I like my media. All in all, I'd definitely rate the Galaxy Nexus: its a pleasure to use for all its faults.Read full review
From purchasing the first ever Android phone (Tmobile G1) and also owning a Desire Z and testing out other devices the Galaxy Nexus is definitely exceeds your expectations of a phone, the Ice Cream Sandwich software is Google's greatest so far and the benefit of owning this latest "Nexus" series of phones means you're the first to get updates. The feel of the phone, the screen size, practicality, aesthetics, everything is great (however if only the speaker were louder). Battery life is great for me and lasts a little longer than most HTC phones I've trialed . I love the reaction from friends who see this phone for the first time and compliment its large 1280*720 HD screen with amazing picture quality. The performance is outstanding thanks to its dual core processor, there's no lag and its a very zippy phone with great apps pre-installed (Google apps) that just look sharp, modern and perform with ease. This phone has nearly rendered my laptop useless as it does nearly everything I need to conveniently. I highly recommend this phone to everyone as it meets all needs from teens to adults.Read full review
Why did I buy this phone? Well primarily I bought the Galaxy Nexus because it was the first android phone to boast the ICS operating system. I will admit it took a little getting used to ICS after using Gingerbread for so long, but once I adapted I couldn't imagine going back. So, what's the cool features of this phone? My most favourite feature would have to be the Dual Core processor, after persevering for almost 12 months with my old Galaxy S, and its slow load times on high performance applications, it was a true pleasure to finally get a phone that I could operate how I wanted to with no delays. Other great features that I would have to say I love would be the large screen size, the High Definition display which was previously reserved for tablets, and it's light weight. There are many other features to draw new purchasers, such as the 5 MP Camera etc... And what did I dislike about this phone? Well this list is rather small, one small inconvenience is the fact that the button to open the extras menu is not standardized in ICS. On some applications it's up the top of the screen where in other applications it's down the bottom. This is even the case in the stock standard ICS applications, which show no uniformity. Another disappointment which I didn't discover until after my purchase was the lack of an SD Memory card slot. I was a little disappointed that I could not use my Galaxy S 32GB memory card, but the fact that the phone comes with a reasonable 16GB internal memory makes up for the disappointment somewhat. So, overall, would I recommend this phone to my friends? That's a definite yes. I absolutely love my new phone, and the small inconveniences mentioned are well and truly outweighed by the positives this phone has to offer. It's a great product, compact and light weight yet packed full of features, what more could anyone ask for.Read full review
