Not much choice of video formats

Battery life isn't great
Face recognition is more of a gizmo than a real feature
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
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a know quantity. Since the end of 2011, we've reviewed Google's reference device as an unlocked GSM model and on Verizon with LTE. Now Sprint has picked up this Android OS 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone for $199 on contrac...
Abstract: So how does it stand up on the scale of Android powered smartphones? Does the lack of Google Wallet make the Verizon version not up to snuff? We find out right here right now for you. If you want to jump ahead of the video review check it our hereHardware...
This was it, shutterbugs. Apparently we don't have an ultimate camera phone here, but even if we had one, it wouldn't have been the new HTC One X. The handset did arrive with a very fast ImageSense camera, which made photo-taking very intuitive and fa...
There's no doubt that both the One X and Galaxy Nexus are incredibly strong opponents to come out against. It's quite interesting, though, when you think about how your overall impression of a handset changes with time. When one approaches the One X a...
Abstract: Nexus is a smartphone family signed by Google, while the OEM manufacturer is variable – for Nexus One, it was HTC, and for the next one, Nexus S, Google picked Samsung; the latest member of the family, Galaxy Nexus, is signed by Samsung yet again. As i...

Excellent performance; tops smartphone benchmarks (except for graphics processing), Software is a significant step forward. You'll never want to go back after using 4.0, Giant build is good for people interested in a big screen…
…but too big for onehanded use, Display isn't very bright, Battery life is poor, barely lasts a day under light to medium use
As a smartphone, the Galaxy Nexus is a few steps beyond the line of what we consider a phone. It's huge at 4.65″. The battery life is poor, and with only an LTE model available that battery drains ever faster. It downscales from the popular Galaxy S II mo...
Abstract: The LG Spectrum isn’t necessarily my favorite phone. It’s got pretty nice specs and a killer screen, but there’s something to be said about the way a phone draws you in from across the room. I don’t mean to get all romantic or dramatic about it, but i...

Thanks to Android 4.0 there is improved multitasking management, and the onscreen keyboard is better than ever, 4G LTE support provides a speedy web surfing and streaming experience, camera takes quick snaps and does well in low light and display is highr
Device tends to get hot while in use, poor battery life, uninspiring design, benchmark performance is midrange and no MicroSD card slot
At the end of the day, Ice Cream Sandwich running on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus feels a lot like an enhanced, and tweaked version of the Honeycomb OS that we have been seeing on tablets for a while now. The reality is that in a few months the market wil...
Normally, newer devices gain a lot of attention for being fresh on the scene, as opposed to some other models that have been around for months. Yes, we adore that the DROID 4 is the supreme messaging device, and even better, its $200 on-contract prici...
