Google+Samsung Galaxy Nexus becomes official!

So it’s finally out and official — the Samsung Galaxy Nexus has been revealed and it’s powered by Samsung. The Galaxy Nexus is also the first handset to run Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus specs:
4.65″ HD Super AMOLED screen @ 1280×720 (315 ppi)
TI OMAP 4460 1.2GHz dual-core processor
PowerVR SGX540
1GB RAM
16GB and 32GB internal storage
HSPA+ 21Mbps, HSUPA 5.76Mbps
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 3.0
NFC
5MP autofocus camera w/ LED flash
1.3MP front-facing camera
1080p video recording at 30fps
1750mAh Li-Ion battery
Google Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich

It’s not as thin as the Galaxy S2 but very close to it at 8.94mm. Most probably, the HSPA+ variant will arrive in the Philippines instead of the LTE one since our telcos aren’t ready yet to roll out the latter to the public.

The Galaxy Nexus will first be released in Europe, US and Asia this November followed by a global release in the following months. We don’t have any idea on the price though but we’ll update once we get additional details.

uhmmm a little bit disappointed with the design.. looks cheap(parang cherry mobile lang).. but anyways greats specs but seems kinda useless cause theres no application yet that takes advantage of a dual core processor or that graphics processor..still be getting the Sensation XE :D

It’s a toss up for me between Nexus Prime and Droid RAZR, will wait for the price, Droid RAZR has more muscle not so impressed with the look of Nexus but ICS is a big plus.

Hi Abe,

Badly need your advise here. I’m torn between Samsung GS2, iPhone 4S, and Droid RAZR, and Nexus Prime (i like it better than its ugly official name).

Disregrading the price aspect, and to factor in integration of Ice Cream Sandwich to other android devices other than Prime plus possibility of getting Siri fully functional when it reaches global, here are the factors I consider:

1. User-experience
2. Multi-tasking
3. Internet speed
4. Wow-factor
5. Toughness (i’m clumsy)
6. High resu and dependable Camera
7. Extra features

Hoping for your advice.

Thanks!

My Nexus One needs a new friend…
Any idea if and when this will be available locally?

Although I was hoping for some premium looking metal trim on the outside… And you can’t forget about that year old PowerVR SGX540 and 5MP rear cam.

Another thing I’m worried about is if the display uses PenTile Matrix instead of RGB Matrix…

Would like to thank whoever showed readers of YugaTech my YouTube videos. Yugatech is a great Pinoy website and I encourage you all to read what Abe has to say because it is totally relevant. Our site in Canada is sort of like this but focuses on different topics but have one great similarity. Passion. Keep up the good work.

Excuse me.
i know all of thinking why its only 5Mp? why not 8Mp becaise the majority of high end phones now are in 8Mp camera?

The answer is simply because its not in the pixels its in the sensor did you ever guys think why a 5mp camera can shoot a 1080p video? its all in the quality of the camera the lenses and the sensors.

Please, Abe/Yuga, need your advise here!

Anyone can give advise too, but please NO FANBOYISM here:

Which one is a better choice? Samsung Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation XE?
Considering the following aspects: (in order of importance)
1. User-interface – Fresh, lively, presentable, unique, user-friendly, not complex and boring
2. Future-proof: can be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich and beyond and support present & future upgrades like 4G, LTE etc…
3. Speed: fast internet browsing
4. Camera/Video: can take high quality pictures and videos in any condition
5. Hardware/software issues: minimal to zero issues
6. Wow-factor: very pleasing to the eye, demands attention and awe, unique but classy
7. Battery life
8. High-quality sounds
9. Built: solid-feel, not too light, easy-grip, toughness, more resistant to scratches and dents
10. Customization
11. Apps: which smartphone supports apps better (not in quantity but in quality)
12. Resale value:
13. Brand equity

I did not include price and other aspects coz the factors mentioned above are far more important to me (and the price difference is not that high).

Please choose between the two only, no stupid answers like “iPhone 4S!” or “Galaxy Nexus!” or “Droid Bionic!”

SALAMAT po!
