Android 4.0 and super-screen Galaxy Nexus Takes Off




Google and Samsung will introduce the new Android flagship Galaxy Nexus. It has a high-resolution 4.65-inch super-AMOLED screen, a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor and a camera that will trigger such as the iPhone's lens practically instantaneous. And of course, is the brand new Android 4 (Ice cream sandwich) on board. 

The race of super-smartphones is open again: Samsung and Google to present in Hong Kong with the Galaxy Nexus is a phone that is not only technically more than one tough competitor for Apple's iPhone 4S. The operating system Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Google seems to have succeeded very well. 

The expectations for the new Android flagship were large and were not disappointed. The super-bright AMOLED screen with 16:9 aspect ratio is an impressive 4.65 inches tall and slightly curved inwards. It has 1280 x 720 pixels, replacing high at 720p. Despite the large touchscreen, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus measures only 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94 mm and weighs 135 grams only.

Strong inner life
More than enough computing power is a clocked with 1.2 GHz dual-core processor (Texas Instruments OMAP 4460) is available. For normal operation, the chip to 1 gigabyte of memory (RAM). The battery seems to be a bit short but calculated with 1750 milliamp hours. It will be interesting to see how long the Galaxy Nexus in everyday life by holding without power. 

The camera on the back does provide a 5-megapixel large photos. But they will cause virtually no delay and shoot fast serial images. The sensor is optimized for low light conditions and there is a panorama function. Videos, the camera at 1080p. Photos and clips can users edit directly on the phone. 

Also, the further equipment of the Galaxy Nexus leaves nothing to be desired. In countries where there is already a wireless network with the very fast standard LTE spanned the Android flagship is equipped with a suitable module. 

Overhaul of Android 
Besides the impressive technical specifications, the Galaxy Nexus also the first smartphone Google's new Android operating system 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich). It has a completely redesigned user interface and brings many new features to their devices. 

A highlight of Ice Cream Sandwich is "Face Unlock" with the phone instead of by password or pattern is unlocked by facial recognition. With "Android Beam" allows users to photos, videos, contacts and other data on an NFC chip to other suitably equipped phones transmit by keeping the units side by side. Also, shorter distances via Wi-Fi Direct can be bridged. A data transmission via an HDMI cable with the Galaxy but Nexus does not seem possible. 

Android 4.0 has not Apple's Siri on board, but also provides an improved voice input. For longer spoken texts Android detects possible errors, for example, and marks them. The user can then correct your fingertips and word suggestions.



Better e-mail app
For social networkers is the new "People app" interesting, bringing together all relevant functions and information. The Google Network + is now an integral part of Android. According to Google, the Android browser is significantly faster than in previous versions, and the e-mail app is finally to be so good that no third-party application is unnecessary. 

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is coming into the U.S. and Europe in November on the market. Samsung and Google have announced prices yet, in the U.S., the smartphone will cost $ 300 with contract alleged.
