Samsung Galaxy Nexus With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and will feature a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED HD Display with a resolution of 1280 x 720
Samsung and Google are expected to show off their first Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone soon. The Samsung Google Nexus Prime will be called the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
Engine room
According to the report the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will feature a pure version of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, with no UI modifications or customizations from Samsung.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime) include a TI OMAP 4460 dual core Cortex A9 1.2GHz Texas Instruments OMAP4460 processor, 1GB of RAM, 32GB of built in storage and a microSD card slot.
"With Ice Cream Sandwich, our mission was to build a mobile OS that works on both phones and tablets, and to make the power of Android enticing and intuitive.
Design
The Galaxy Nexus has retained the distinctive curved profile of the Nexus S, it actually feels a lot less pronounced this time around. The curve is supposed to make the phone more comfortable to use for calls, but we can't say we felt any tangible benefit.
The slightly rubberised battery panel also takes inspiration from the Galaxy S2, and snaps away from the main body of the phone with considerable click. Although it's made from super-flexible plastic, getting it back on again is harder than it should be. You have to line it up perfectly before the panel will locate, and even then there's some serious massaging required to get it to lock into position.

Display
The Nexus Prime will have a 4.7 inch 720p Super HD AMOLED display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, and it will feature a curved glass display and a bunch of other specs to die for. The Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display technology at 720p resolution. The phone will be just 8.94mm thick, with a minimal 4.29mm bezel around the edge of the screen so it should be pretty comfortable.
The Galaxy Nexus uses Samsung's world-beating Super AMOLED technology to give an unparalleled picture quality. Colours are bold and bright, while viewing angles are fantastic. You'll also notice that dark areas are especially convincing, because AMOLED screens actually turn off pixels to represent black.
The only negative thing you could possibly say about the Galaxy Nexus' screen is that it doesn't use the Super AMOLED Plus tech seen in the Samsung Galaxy S2. Instead, PenTile tech is used. This gives the display a dot-like effect when viewed very closely.
Camera
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will come with the advanced 5 megapixel camera and the camera will be capable of recording Full HD video in 1080p.
There will also be a front facing 1.3 megapixel camera, and the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will also feature LTE/HSPA support depending on the mobile carrier, owners will be able to enjoy faster 3.5G data speeds in their respective countries.
Connectivity
The Galaxy Nexus will also feature support for NFC, plus 802.11 a/b/g/n WiFi and Bluetooth, plus it will come with a 1,750 mAh battery and it is expected to be exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the US.
The Google’s next Smartphone would be one of the Smartphone what will be watched out for sure during its launch
Battery
With the power needs of a massive 4.65-inch screen and dual-core processor to accommodate, you'd expect the Galaxy Nexus' battery life to be dismal. In fact, we were impressed with how the phone's 1,750mAh power cell coped.
Naturally, when we first got the handset we really took it to the cleaners, pushing all of its features to the limit and barely leaving it alone for a second. After around 8 hours of near constant use with the screen on maximum brightness, the Galaxy Nexus was gasping for air.
However, when we adopted a more typical pattern of usage, the battery was capable of lasting over a day. That's something we rarely managed with our Nexus S.
The biggest drain on the phone's power is definitely the Super AMOLED screen. Dropping the brightness down a touch is a good way of prolonging its stamina. Enabling auto-brightness is tempting, but we found it was a little overzealous and dimmed the screen so much that it looked very dull.
