Yesterday we heard that the new Samsung Galaxy Nexus is expected to cost $289 on Verizon Wireless. The device will launch in Europe on the 17th of November, but Verizon has not confirmed a launch date for the Galaxy Nexus on their network in the US.
Now, according to a leaked Verizon roadmap, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available from Verizon in the US from the 21st of November 2011. Of course, this date has not yet been confirmed by Verizon.
Specifications and Features
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus comes with a 4.65 inch HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, providing users with a vibrant and sharp visual experience. This large screen is ideal for watching videos, browsing the web, and playing games. The device is powered by a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, ensuring smooth performance and the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously.
In addition to its impressive display and processor, the Galaxy Nexus features an advanced 5-megapixel camera. While some might consider 5 megapixels to be on the lower end compared to other smartphones, the camera is capable of recording full HD video, which is a significant advantage. The camera also includes features such as autofocus, LED flash, and various shooting modes to enhance your photography experience.
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
One of the standout features of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is that it comes with the latest version of Google’s mobile OS, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. This version of Android introduces a number of new features and improvements over previous versions. For instance, it includes a redesigned user interface that is more intuitive and user-friendly. The new Roboto font, updated icons, and improved animations contribute to a more polished and cohesive look.
Ice Cream Sandwich also brings enhanced multitasking capabilities, allowing users to switch between apps more efficiently. The new Recent Apps button provides a visual representation of open apps, making it easier to navigate between them. Additionally, the updated notification system is more interactive, enabling users to take actions directly from the notification shade.
Another notable feature of Android 4.0 is the improved web browsing experience. The browser now supports tabbed browsing, offline reading, and desktop-like rendering of web pages. Users can also sync their bookmarks with Google Chrome, ensuring a seamless browsing experience across devices.
As soon as we get some confirmation from Verizon Wireless that the 21st of November is the launch date in the US, we will let you guys know.
