We have been clamoring to get our hands on Nexus Galaxy since it opened in Hong Kong in October. Finally, finally, the U.S. version Nexus of the Galaxy has landed in our office. This is the Nexus Galaxy, the first phone to run Android Ice Cream Sandwich, everything we hoped it would? Partly, yes. The nexus of the Galaxy ($ 300 with a two-year contract, the December 16, 2011) impresses with lightning-fast performance, strong data rates, with a slim design, and, of course, all that goodness Sandwich ice cream. It's not perfect, however. The camera is outstanding, and the phone has no expandable memory slot. But as it stands, the Nexus Galaxy is the best Android phone available.
The nexus of the Galaxy is a good-looking piece of hardware. The bright, piano-black bezel and texture of the back are all standard features of Samsung design. But unlike other Samsung phones I've reviewed Galaxy, the Galaxy Nexus feels high quality. At 5.1 ounces, which has a substantial weight for good without being too heavy. As you can see from the photos, the Nexus Galaxy has a subtle curve, which very well the contours of the hand. If you have small hands like me, however, may find the Nexus Galaxy a little big (measuring 5.33 by 2.67 by 0.37 inches).
The nexus of the galaxy does not have the physical hardware keys on your face. Instead, the touch-sensitive back, home and search keys are integrated into the display as soft keys

Super AMOLED pantalla (no Plus)
The nexus of the galaxy has a Super High Definition AMOLED screen - not to be confused with the Super AMOLED Plus is in line with the Galaxy S II Samsung phones. This display of 1,280 by 720 pixels is actually based on a pixel structure in which pixels share PenTile subpixel. Engadget points out that the phones in the Galaxy S II are all RGB display in which the pixels have their own sub-pixels. This means that the Galaxy Nexus has a lower density of subpixel general, reduced sharpness and color accuracy degraded to the Galaxy S II. However, according to the site FlatpanelsHD, the Nexus galaxy has 315 pixels per inch, which is slightly lower than at 326 ppi iPhone 4/4S.
To be honest, the quality difference between the one I saw Galaxy II S, the Nexus Galaxy, and the iPhone 4S was in color accuracy. The colors in the Galaxy Nexus had a slight yellowish tinge, especially in images or web pages with a white background. Otherwise, the blacks looked deep, while the sources and details appeared sharp. Unless you're crazy about pixel density, or have incredibly strong eyes, probably will not notice the small screen cut.
The screen is a spacious 4.65 inches, but in reality only 4 inches of usable real estate. The remaining 0.65 inches space is occupied by a customizable shortcut bar that appears at the bottom of the home screens and some other internal baffle. Still, the screen feels quite roomy for all your games, video, multimedia and other desires.

We have written a lot about ice cream sandwich, and will do much more in depth coverage in the coming days. For this review, we focus on how ice cream sandwich is made in the Galaxy Nexus.
The display of recent applications. If you are familiar with Android Honeycomb in tables, you will find some familiar features in ice cream sandwich. Like the honeycomb, the ice cream sandwich widgets are now on the main screen size. You will also find a dedicated button on recent applications screen to see all your open applications, as well as Android tablets, is a drop-down list of running applications with thumbnail images. Browsing and switching between applications is not as fast as I would have it, though - I found a noticeable delay, from one application to another.
You've probably heard a lot of rumors about the ability to unlock the phone with your face. The front-facing camera, take a picture of you and then use facial recognition software the next time you unlock your phone. It's great, no doubt, but not the safest way to protect your phone. As Google warns someone that looks like you can unlock your phone to your face. However, the release face works well, and is a good pint - if somewhat gimmicky - function.
The software keyboard Android largest ice cream sandwich, is more square key making it easier to write in (although some errors are still made here and there). Now has an option to verbally dictate the text as well, although not always necessary. For example, "This is a test of the auto-dictation" resulted in "Types of dictation feature of the otter."
Developers will be delighted with the options of "developers", dedicated to providing access to tools such as a meter of CPU usage and controls for tactile feedback and the limit in the case. These characteristics of this type that really make an operating system Android highlighted. There is something for everyone.

APPS
Gmail receives a face wash, with a new contextual action bar at the bottom of the screen. Bar changes depending on where in the application they are. For example, when you are looking for in an email, see the options to file it away, label, or mark as unread. When viewing your Inbox, the bar changes to display options for composing new messages. Adding attachments to your gallery or in other folders is now much easier that way. If you are a heavy Gmail user like me, you'll really appreciate these changes.
The browser in the ice cream sandwich is the closest you can get to a desktop. You can now configure the browser to request the full version of desktop sites, not mobile versions of minors. You can also synchronize browser bookmarks Chrome desktop browser application in ice cream sandwich. Google has added support for tabbed browsing, and you can see the records that are open, each with a live preview of that page.
Google Calendar works pretty much my life, so I was pleased to see a cleaner, easier to read version of it in ice cream sandwich. I also appreciate the fact that you can pinch to zoom in on a particular event calendar for more information, previously had to play at the event on the calendar, and will open a new window. Like all other core applications updates, Google has done everything in the calendar is more efficient and easier to use.
Unfortunately, Google Wallet is not compatible with the Nexus Galaxy - even though the hardware of NFC enabled phone.

At the opening of Hong Kong, Google bragged that the camera in the Galaxy Nexus has zero shutter lag. In my practice tests, I found these statements is correct: It processes the picture almost immediately after pressing the shutter key. Another interesting feature is the ability to access the camera from the lock screen instead of having to unlock and then dig through the menus.
Unfortunately, the camera is just not the same gauge as the rest of the telephone. The photos taken with 5 megapixel camera Galaxy Nexus
You can apply a variety of filters to your photos.looked a bit flat. Colors seemed a touch of washing, and the details were a little fuzzy.
But even if the photos do not come out perfect ice cream sandwich is back with its set of photo editing tools. You get a set of filters (such as Hipstamatic application itself), the ability to adjust the picture angle, removing red eye, cropping functions, and more. Changes made to a photo creates a copy, in case you ever want to return to the original.
