We've updated our Samsung Galaxy Nexus review to reflect the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update which has now been rolled out to the handset. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was the world's first phone to run Android 4.0: Ice Cream Sandwich and now just under a...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is probably the most anticipated Android device for 2011. Each Nexus is special because it ushers in a new wave of software. In this case it is the launch device for Android 4.0, otherwise known as Ice Cream Sandwich. If you're...

Sharp display is wonderful at full brightness, Android 4, you'll be first in the queue for software updates, NFC, lightweight, video looks sensational

As display dims it becomes grubby, auto brightness too aggressive, no microSD card slot, early adopters will have to wait for app developers to catch up

If you're looking for a pure Android experience, then you've probably already decided to opt for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. It's a competitive device from a hardware point of view, with a distinct advantage of being Google's baby when it comes to...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Review by 3G.co.uk

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a really smart phone that will set the bar for future Android handsets

New OS is speedy, clever and powerful; top email and social network facilities; top-class Gmail app; snapper has lots of features

Snaps are mediocre in low light; OS has a few issues; not much choice of video formats

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus has some impressive hardware on offer, but it’s really the Ice Cream Sandwich operating system that takes centre stage. While its plastic body won’t win any prizes, the new OS has made operating and navigating around the...

Hands on: Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Some users have held on to that defining gizmo for almost two years now. Just like the Nexus One, the Galaxy Nexus could enjoy the same geeky niche following and perhaps even convince more mainstream users now that Android is not just a “challenger” OS...
