We have already heard that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus would go on sale in the UK next month, and it will be available with a range of mobile carriers here in the UK. Previously, we had heard it would be headed to Three, and they have now confirmed that it will land on their network next month.
The guys over at Three have put together a brief hands-on video of the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which will come with Android Ice Cream Sandwich and features a HD display.
Features and Specifications
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a highly anticipated device, primarily because it is the first smartphone to feature Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. This new OS brings a host of new features and improvements over previous versions, including a redesigned user interface, improved multitasking, and enhanced notifications. The Galaxy Nexus also boasts a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, providing vibrant colors and sharp images.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Nexus is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance and quick response times. The device comes with either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, although it does not have a microSD card slot for expandable storage. The rear camera is a 5-megapixel shooter capable of recording 1080p HD video, while the front-facing camera is 1.3 megapixels, suitable for video calls and selfies.
Availability and Pricing
Three haven’t given any details on how much the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will cost when it lands on their network. However, it is expected that the pricing will be competitive, given the high-end specifications and the fact that it is the flagship device for the new Android 4.0 OS. As soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know.
In addition to Three, other major UK carriers such as Vodafone, O2, and Orange are also expected to offer the Galaxy Nexus. This widespread availability will make it easier for consumers to get their hands on the device, regardless of their preferred carrier.
The Galaxy Nexus is not just about hardware; it also comes with a suite of Google services and applications pre-installed. These include Google Maps, Gmail, Google Calendar, and the Android Market (now known as Google Play Store), giving users access to a vast array of apps and content.
