Samsung Galaxy Nexus: Full hands-ong review – Part 1

Google Inc. launched the much craved Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) mobile operating system on October 18 inside a Samsung Mobiles’ smartphone body. The new offspring of the strategic marriage between Samsung and Google is known to the world as Nexus family, Galaxy
Nexus.

Galaxy Nexus carries the legacy of Nexus series and the Android ICS is the added flamboyance to it. The new OS is quicker on the 1.2 GHz dual-core processor while the 4.65-inch display justifies its flashy features.

The swiping has been made smoother in ICS than its predecessors, which is a relief to the Android fans. However, some stutter can still be observed in navigating through the menus. Many glitches have been eradicated in the new 4.0.1 version.

The new OS has improved existing software and also includes Face Unlock, first time introduced into a cellular phone and Voice-to-Type, which is not a new application but Google has improved it radically.

The new application, Bump to Share, is the one that caught critics’ attention. A Nexus owner can share the phone contents with another of its siblings with a single touch. Just tap on the share button and viola the transfer starts.

Nexus might have gotten rid of the suffix but in addition it also rids of several basic just to give an evolved look. However, this action certainly has subdued the learning curve of the phone. Moreover, the phone is clutter of features and cramped with
new function, which boils down to one result as that the evolution in the ICS is a hot mess.
