Mediocre speakerphone
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.
Alert bug sets the phone to silent over a 2G network
Not a design revolution
Poor battery life
Mediocre camera
Ice Cream Sandwich has eliminated some of Android's learning curve in some aspects
Design and screen; ICS is brilliant to run; fast and responsive
Camera shots lower quality; Face Unlock is a gimmick
Calling this phone the best Android phone might be a bit over-the-top, but definitely is one of the better smartphones in the market – if you ignore the gimmicks. The camera does let it down a bit, but most of the hardware doesn't. The processor makes ICS...

GSM version has only 16GB onboard storage with no microSD slot, Camera shots are quick but blurry, External speaker volume is low

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus marries the power of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS with the speed of Verizon's LTE network. The phone's beautiful screen and internal performance are top-notch
The Galaxy Nexus lacks a slot for expandable memory, and the 5-megapixel camera isn't Samsung's best. There's no support for Google Wallet, and several Ice Cream Sandwich features take some getting used to
As the first U.S. phone with Ice Cream Sandwich, Verizon's Samsung Galaxy Nexus takes a coveted, solitary step forward. However, once other premium handsets receive the updated Android OS, the Galaxy Nexus will lose some of its competitive edge....
