Smartphones with Android I use even for the HTC Hero. However, this was like the later smartphones, which I could call my own, always with a software user interface (Sense) coated. So far, I bought solely HTC smartphones.
Did this only briefly mentioned to show that I know my way around in the smartphone field a little.
At the Galaxy Nexus is Google's flagship smartphone with Android IceCreamSandwich (ICS).
For OS:
-Kompeltt New design of Android
-Liquid Operation, without any lag (version 4.0.2)
-Einstellungsmöglichkeiten (Freedoms) to the user over all other systems (iOS, WP7, Bada, ...)
-All Kinds of apps available in the Market
Updates, directly from Google - one is not dependent on Samsung etc. and will be the first to get the latest features, etc.
To Hardware:
-Large, Brilliant display - sharp
-Ausdauernder Battery (keeps me in normal use 2 to 3 days in intensive use about 1.5 days)
-The Case is very handy despite its size
-The Design is simple but pleasant (a matter of taste)
-Kammera Is ok
-Frontkammera Great for Skype - I use often
-Internal memory sufficient for my purposes - but I hope that Samsung or the version with 32 GB still brings (for customers who need more)
Thanks to pure Google ran so far with me all the apps that I installed. An acquaintance of mine has the Motorola Razr and most games etc. do not work (or vll not ??.).
Conclusion:
At the Galaxy Nexus you realize that hardware and software are extremely well matched. Everything runs smoothly, very smoothly. Had as yet no software problems or the like.
Excellent!
Android is a great success in version 4.0 in my opinion. Visually and technically use it has become very attractive (compared to 2.3.x)
I can absolutely recommend this smartphone. It is therefore definitely at least the next 2 years be at the forefront!
