Aside from power and volume buttons, the Galaxy Nexus has no other physical buttons.ĭisappointingly, the Galaxy Nexus is constructed largely from plastic which makes it less appealing than alternatives like the Kevlar fiber-equipped Motorola RAZR and the aluminium and glass Apple iPhone 4S.

However, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has on-screen controls rather than capacitive keys that were previously standard on Android phones, so the phone itself is likely to be a little more compact than expected.

For some, this will blur the line between a large smartphone and a small tablet. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus' 4.65in screen is larger than both the Samsung Galaxy S II and the HTC Sensation (both 4.3in). The Galaxy Nexus' screen is slightly-curved and its body is in the form of a teardrop profile - this means it's thicker at the top and slightly wider towards the bottom. Heading the list is a strikingly large 4.65in Super AMOLED HD display - the HD denotes a high definition resolution of 1280x720, so we expect the Galaxy Nexus to display an ultra sharp and crisp image. The main story of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus obviously centres on the Ice Cream Sandwich software, but the phone is packing some serious hardware, too.

Ice Cream Sandwich also includes a Movie Studio app that will edit videos captured on the Galaxy Nexus' camera, live effects for the camera, the ability to swipe up on an incoming phone call to send a pre-defined text message, a data usage application, the ability to create folders by dragging an app onto another, and a new keyboard with improved error correction. There's also a recent apps menu that will bring up a scrolling list of open apps, the ability to unlock the phone through face recognition, the synchronisation of bookmarks with the Google Chrome browser, a built-in "Android Beam" app that allows you to share content with other Ice Cream Sandwich phones by bumping the devices together, and a people app that embeds social networking account details, photos and status updates of individual contacts. Ice Cream Sandwich no longer requires hardware buttons, so back home and recent app buttons are soft keys that are built into the UI. The entire user interface has been refreshed - it combines some features from Google's Honeycomb platform for tablets and adds a number of new elements like a standard typeface called "Roboto" in a bid to create a more uniform look and feel. Or you could repartition.Ice Cream Sandwich is the star of the Galaxy Nexus show and the changes are both exhausting and pretty impressive.
