There certainly is a lot of confusion over when exactly the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will launch in the US. We have heard rumors of various dates, the last one being the 8th of December.
Now it would appear that Samsung has confirmed to Business Insider that the Galaxy Nexus will be available in the US on Verizon Wireless in December, although it does seem a little strange that the news comes from Samsung rather than Verizon.
It isn’t clear as yet exactly why Verizon has yet to announce the launch date of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for the US. As soon as we get some official word from Verizon, we will let you guys know.
Why the Delay?
The delay in the announcement from Verizon has led to a lot of speculation. Some industry insiders suggest that Verizon might be working on ensuring that their network is fully optimized for the new device. The Galaxy Nexus is the first smartphone to feature Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, and Verizon might be taking extra precautions to ensure a smooth user experience. Others speculate that there might be contractual or logistical issues that need to be resolved before the official launch date can be announced.
Features of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a highly anticipated device for several reasons. It is the first smartphone to run Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, which brings a host of new features and improvements over previous versions. The device boasts a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280×720 pixels, providing stunning visuals and a great user experience.
Under the hood, the Galaxy Nexus is powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance and the ability to handle multiple tasks with ease. The device also features a 5-megapixel rear camera capable of recording 1080p HD video, and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls.
Another notable feature of the Galaxy Nexus is its NFC (Near Field Communication) capability, which allows users to make mobile payments and share data with other NFC-enabled devices with just a tap. The device also comes with a 1750mAh battery, which should provide ample battery life for most users.

The new operating system brings a unified user interface for both smartphones and tablets, making it easier for developers to create apps that work seamlessly across different devices.
Moreover, the Galaxy Nexus is expected to be a strong competitor to other high-end smartphones like the iPhone 4S and the HTC Rezound. Its combination of cutting-edge hardware and the latest software makes it an attractive option for tech enthusiasts and everyday users alike.
