It's very difficult to find flaws with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The design will be too big for some people
And the large screen also has an impact on battery life. That aside
There are very few chinks in its armour.

Not a design revolution
Poor battery life
Mediocre camera
Ice Cream Sandwich has eliminated some of Android's learning curve in some aspects

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus marries the power of the Ice Cream Sandwich with a stock Andorid OS. The phone's beautiful screen and performance are top-notch, and unlike its Verizon counterpart, the Google Wallet payment app is onboard
The Galaxy Nexus lacks a slot for expandable memory, the 5-megapixel camera isn't Samsung's best, and battery life could be longer. We're also still waiting for phone's connection to Sprint's LTE network
