The Galaxy Nexus (GT-I9250) is a touchscreen Android smartphone developed by a partnership between Google and Samsung.[19] The phone and operating system were developed collaboratively by engineers from both companies.[20] It is the third generation successor to Google's previous flagship phones, the Nexus One and Nexus S. It has an HD (720p)[21] Super AMOLED display with curved glass, an improved camera system, and Google's new version of its Android operating system, version 4.0, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich.[22] The name is the result of co-branding between the Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus brands of Android smartphones.

The Galaxy Nexus was unveiled at Google and Samsung's Ice Cream Sandwich event on October 19, 2011 in Hong Kong. It was released in Europe on November 17, 2011[23] and made its debut in the United States on December 15, 2011.[24]

It is one of the few phones recommended by the Android Open Source Project for building Android from source.[25]

History

Galaxy Nexus hands-on after announcement in Soho, Hong Kong.

Google's plans to continue the Nexus series and bring a third-generation Nexus to market were confirmed by Google's senior vice president of mobile platforms Andy Rubin in May 2011.[26]

Samsung mobile put out a teaser video[27] for its "Google Episode" of Unpacked on October 11[28] but later postponed (to October 19)[29] the product announcement[30] out of respect, following the death of Steve Jobs.[31]

Before the official announcement, it was also referred to as the Google "Nexus Prime" among Android enthusiasts and the media.[32][33] There had been repeated leaks containing almost accurate details about this device.[34] The phone was officially announced on October 19, 2011 in Hong Kong, revealing the official name as "Galaxy Nexus".[35][36]

Hardware

The Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch 1280×720-pixel HD Super AMOLED PenTile[37] curved glass display,[9] a dual-core 1.2 GHz TI OMAP 4460 processor (ARM Cortex-A9)[38] with an accompanying PowerVR SGX540,[39] 1 GB of RAM; a 1,750 mAh battery (1,850 mAh LTE version); 1.3 MP front camera and 5 MP rear camera (with zero shutter lag) capable of 1080p video with the rear camera and 720p with the front camera;[40] 4G; Wi-Fi a/b/g/n; Bluetooth; GPS, barometer; NFC;[35] and 16 GB or 32 GB of internal storage. The Galaxy Nexus lacks a microSD card slot and cannot operate as a USB Mass Storage Device(UMS). The device will still allow storage and access to internal memory through the MTP protocol when connected to a PC that supports MTP.

The Galaxy Nexus also hosts support for MHL through the use of its Micro USB 2.0 port.,[41] allowing the Galaxy Nexus to output up to 1080p audio-visual content (through HDMI) to any supported external display such as a HD Television.[42]

The Galaxy Nexus has no physical buttons on the front, but instead features on-screen soft keys embedded into the system software (part of Android 4.0). Beneath the soft keys, a multicolored notification LED is featured, a feature missing from the Nexus S.[43][44]

The 3.5 mm headphone jack is located on the bottom of the phone, and the camera is located in the center of the rear side.

Software

Main article: Android (operating system)
Android 4.0, the original operating system of the Galaxy Nexus

Galaxy Nexus is the first device to run Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich,[45] introducing a large number of new features and improvements including, but not limited to:[46]

  • Enhanced speed and performance
  • Voice typing, a speech-to-Text feature[47][48]
  • Virtual buttons in the user interface, in place of capacitive or physical buttons
  • Separation of widgets in a new tab, listed in a similar manner to apps
  • Pinch-to-zoom functionality in the calendar
  • Ability to access apps directly from lock screen (similar to HTC Sense 3.x)
  • Improved copy and paste functionality
  • Better voice integration and continuous, real-time speech to text dictation
  • Face Unlock, a feature that allows users to unlock handsets using facial recognition software[47]
  • New tabbed web browser, allowing up to 16 tabs
  • Data Usage section in settings that lets users set warnings when they approach a certain usage limit, and disable data use when the limit is exceeded
  • Improved camera app with zero shutter lag, time lapse settings, panorama mode, and the ability to zoom while recording
  • Built-in photo editor
  • New gallery layout, organized by location and person
  • Android Beam, a near-field communication feature allowing the rapid short-range exchange of web bookmarks, contact info, directions, YouTube videos and other data[49]
  • Wi-Fi Direct[47][50]
  • 1080p HD (1920x1080 @ 24 fps) video recording with the rear facing 5 MP camera
  • 720p HD (1280x720 @ 30 fps) video recording with the front facing 1.3 MP camera
  • Google Play Store formerly named Android Market was updated and re-designed, now with over 400,000 apps,[51] including Adobe Flash player,[52][53][54] several Google-made apps[55][56] and many others.

Beginning from July 11, 2012, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean began rolling out to the Galaxy Nexus as an over-the-air (OTA) update.[57]

Availability

In some countries, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is sold SIM-unlocked.[58][59][60] It is also hardware-unlocked (unlocked bootloader, allowing root access).[61][62][63][64] The fact that the Galaxy Nexus is sold SIM-locked in some markets—primarily where operators subsidize the phone or have exclusive selling rights—breaks the more liberal tradition of previous Nexus phones: Nexus One[65][66] and Nexus S.[67]

Europe

In the UK, the Galaxy Nexus became available on O2 and 3 on November 17, 2011. The version sold is the HSPA+ version.[68] The phone has launched in 20 other European countries early in December 2011.[69] In Germany, the HSPA+ Version sold sim-unlocked for €539.99 in retail stores, and from Vodafone and O2. It launched in December 2011 in Portugal, SIM-locked by Vodafone[70][71] and SIM-unlocked by Expansys[72] and Fnac.[73]

North America

In Canada, Bell Mobility[74] and Virgin Mobile launched the device on December 8, 2011 for C$649 with a cancelable contract. Vidéotron announced a January 13, 2012 release, but the smartphone's release was delayed to February 8, 2012.[75] Telus began selling the phone for C$649 on January 13, 2012, while Fido and Rogers Wireless began selling the phone on the 13th in limited quantities for C$600 ($585) no strings attached. On February 3, 2012 Wind Mobile began selling the phone for C$599.

The LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus was launched in the United States on December 15, 2011 through Verizon Wireless for a subsidized price of $299.99 with a new two-year customer agreement.[76] There were rumors that Verizon had confirmed the device was to be launched on December 9, along with the ability to preorder the Motorola Droid XYBoard (Xoom 2). That date, however, came and went without a product release. On April 24, 2012,[77] a GSM/UMTS, SIM-unlocked version was officially released in the United States by Google in the Google Play Store for $399. It works on both AT&T's and T-Mobile's networks, as well as [citation needed] Sprint officially announced the Galaxy Nexus for their network at CES 2012, and was released on April 22, 2012. It was released as one of Sprint Nextel's first LTE smartphones.[78][79][80][81][82]

In Mexico, the Galaxy Nexus was officially announced to the media on March 8, 2012 in an exclusive launch event held in Mexico City. It was officially released to sales to registered buyers on March 15, 2012 by means of a "night-only sale" at some qualified Telcel Customer Attention Centers (CAC) and the day after: March 16, it went into general availability. Pre-registration to qualify for the night-only sale was required by visiting www.galaxynexus.com.mx. On March 13, 2012, the registration (sign-up) numbers and phones assigned to the discount promotion were already sold-out.

Those who got a registration number on the promotion web site were entitled to attend the night-sale on Telcel qualifying Customer Attention Centers (CAC) during 16, 17, or 18 March, to the CAC of their choosing. After those dates, the Galaxy Nexus started selling at its regular list price for Mexico either on a pre-paid plan or, on post-paid plans with some operator subsidy.

The Galaxy Nexus, for the time being, will be available exclusively with Telcel at a price of approximately MXN$10,500 pesos. on a pre-paid plan basis. Substantial discounts for the phone will be available for previous customers with a post-payment (monthly billing) plan and to those who buy post-payment plans.[83] The Galaxy Nexus in Mexico is being sold SIM locked to TELCEL.

There are some builds of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) that are controlled by Google and some that are controlled by Samsung. While the Verizon version includes two preinstalled carrier apps, atypical of Nexus phones, it still comes with an unlockable boot loader, and therefore it is still easy to root the device.[84][85] The Verizon version blocks Google Wallet,[86][87][88] however, users at xda-developers managed to create a modified APK of Google Wallet installable on those phones.[89][90][91][92]

The Verizon version also comes with two pre-loaded apps[93][94] and isn't necessarily updated directly by Google.[95] The program "GN Official Update Checker", available on the Android Market[96] can be used to detect if a phone is using a build of Android controlled by Google, therefore knowing if updates are coming from Google.[95][97] Nevertheless, all Galaxy Nexus phones can be flashed with a Google-controlled version of Android,[98][99] codenamed "yakju" (GSM/HSPA+)[100][101] or "mysid" (CDMA/LTE).[102][103]

Sales ban

On 29 June 2012, Apple was granted a request for a pre-trial injunction against the import and sale of Galaxy Nexus by Samsung. The order was issued by U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California.[104] The ruling was based primarily on a patent which is defined as a “universal interface for retrieval of information in a computer system.". The injunction against Samsung takes effect when Apple has paid a $96 million bond that will be used to cover damages done to Samsung if Apple loses the case.[105][106] On 3 July 2012, Apple paid the bond and the sales ban took effect. The Galaxy Nexus was temporarily unavailable for purchase on Google's Play store, and Google stated they would push a software update that would remove local phone searching.[107][108] On July 6 the ban was lifted.[109]

Asia-Pacific

The phone will be supported by the carrier NTT DoCoMo in Japan, where the variant sold there will be known as the SC-04D within the docomo NEXT series of smartphone devices.

In South Korea, two carriers support Galaxy Nexus; SK Telecom and KT, where the code of the phone is SHW-M420S and M420K respectively. The product name of Korean version of Galaxy nexus is yakjukr, which is not updated directly by Google. This variation of Galaxy Nexus shares the same hardware as GSM/HSPA+ version, making it one of the last non-LTE phones released in Korea. Both carriers provide 1,850mAh battery in comparison to 1,750mAh of all GSM releases of other countries, with 2,100mAh battery also provided free of charge.

In India, the Galaxy Nexus was initially supposed to launch in December 2011.[110][111][112] This was then rescheduled to the last week of January 2012.[113] It was later rescheduled to March 2012 according to the official account of Samsung India on Twitter.[114] but the phone failed to launch in March as per the statement. On May 3, 2012, Samsung India officially tweeted that "The Galaxy Nexus will not be launched in India. Watch this space for the next big thing!" confirming that India will not have the official release of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.[115]

In Hong Kong, the phone was available from December 15, 2011. It is available unlocked through local electronics stores (Broadway, Fortress, Suning, and others), and mobile phone operators (3, China Mobile, PCCW Mobile, one2Free, Smartone)

In Australia, Vodafone Australia announced that they would carry the Galaxy Nexus. It is available on Vodafone as well as Virgin Mobile.

In Thailand, the Galaxy Nexus was announced on December 14, 2011 and available for pre-order at the event. The pre-ordered devices shipped on December 22, 2011, the same day the phone was released.

In Singapore, the Galaxy Nexus was released on Saturday 11 February 2012, not exclusive to any carrier. It was also the first country to sell the white version, as a gift to those who waited due to its delay[116] (it was meant to arrive in January).

In Malaysia, it was released on January 16, 2012 by DiGi and Celcom.

In Indonesia, it was released on January 21, 2012.[117]

In Bahrain, Batelco launched the Galaxy Nexus on March 4, 2012.[118]

In Saudi Arabia, STC announced that it will solely introduce the Nexus. It was released on March 28, 2012.

In The Philippines, Smart Communications offered a locked Galaxy Nexus in January 28, 2012.[119]. The Galaxy Nexus is also being unofficially sold in the Philippines through local Philippine mobile websites.

Variants

Back side of a black unbranded Galaxy Nexus

The device originally comes available in a black color. A white color version (with the front-panel in black[120]) was expected to be available in February 2012.[121][122][123] There was a special edition released to Google employees with Google product logos on the back.[124][125]

SCH-i515: Verizon variant featuring 4G LTE connectivity in the 700 MHz band (Band 13) as well as CDMA/EV-DO Rev. A connectivity in the PCS bands (800/1900 MHz). The device features 32 GB of on-board storage, measures 9.47 mm thick and features a 1850 mAh battery. The device's appearance is similar to that of the international version.

GT-i9250: GSM/HSPA+ variant. Features support for both AT&T's and T-Mobile's HSPA+ bands in the United States. This particular variant is currently sold SIM-unlocked by Google in the Play Store.

SPH-L700: Sprint variant featuring 4G LTE connectivity in the 1900 MHz band (Band 25). It is virtually identical to the Verizon variant, save for Google Wallet compatibility, a non-user-accessible SIM slot, and minor cosmetic differences.

Accessories

The official Samsung accessory range includes a Desktop Dock with an HDMI port, a Desk Stand with a 3.5mm jack, a stand with a charging port for a second battery and a car holder that will let users turn their Galaxy Nexus phone into a SatNav replacement. There is also an official Samsung Galaxy Nexus battery that has recently become available in the UK.[126] All of the Samsung accessories feature a microUSB port so the phone can be charged while it is being used.[127][128] There are also several third-party accessories, including several protective cases,[129] batteries with more capacity,[130] the Kogeto Dot 360-degree panoramic video accessory[131][132][133] and many others.[134][135][136][137][138][139]

Reception

The Galaxy Nexus generated a high level of anticipation[140][141][142][143][144][145] and was even regarded as the most anticipated Android device of 2011,[146][147][148][149][150][151] gathering very positive reviews.[152]

  • The GSMArena review concludes: "The Galaxy Nexus is an impressive device on its own."[153]
  • Engadget editor Myriam Joire, in Engadget's review of the final version of the Galaxy Nexus (HSPA+ variant), concluded that "The Galaxy Nexus is definitely the best Android phone available today – it's possibly even the best phone available today, period", praising it for its speed, feel, display and battery life.[154]
  • Steve Kovach, writing for Business Insider, noted "Android's improvements seem to add more radical advances with each new version. Ice Cream Sandwich is the biggest leap forward yet." and concluded "Simply put, the Galaxy Nexus is the best phone from Google yet."[155]
  • Ginny Mies, for PCWorld concluded in his review, "The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a superb phone, and a great vehicle for introducing Android Ice Cream Sandwich to the world. Android has clearly come a long way, and the tweaks and updates Google has implemented throughout the operating system make a huge difference in efficiency and ease of use. Right now, the Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone you can buy."[156]
  • Mobilesyrup's review indicates: "From our time with the device, we can safely say there is no going back. Every piece of Android hardware from this day on will be judged not on the speed of its processor or its pixel density but on whether it is running Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Nexus has a market lead so vast as to be a chasm; the experience is just that much better. [...] Samsung has wisely taken the best design aspects of the Nexus S and Galaxy S II variants and created the first best Android device ever."[157]
  • According to Engadget editor Darren Murph, the Galaxy Nexus was "smooth as ever. Without question, this is easily the slickest, most polished version of Android yet";[158] "the entire experience just felt polished. In a way, it's as if Android's growing a bit and maturing before our eyes", concluding with "Overall, we're thrilled with how the first ICS handset has turned out. It's understated, sleek, beautiful and packs a display that's destined to drop jaws."[159]
  • Vincent Nguyen, from SlashGear noted the fast performance of Android 4.0.1, the tight integration between the operating system and the hardware and concluded that "this is the best Android phone around today".[160]
  • According to Dan Nosowitz, at Popular Science, "The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone I've ever used, heads and tails above anything else on the market. The speed, the new sleek blue-and-grayscale look, the new Google apps, the new and easier ways to manage what's happening on your phone—there's no contest."[161]
  • J.R. Raphael, from Computerworld, stated "The Galaxy Nexus [...] is an exceptional phone, arguably the finest Android handset to date.", concluding "The Galaxy Nexus is sleek and attractive, with a thin, light body and a beautiful HD display. It's screamingly fast, too, delivering what may be the best overall performance of any mobile device available."[162]
  • In a T3 review Thomas Tamblyn noted the camera was "quicker than many digital cameras" and concluded: "the whole experience is very fluid. Even in its current form [a pre-release version], "It feels like a version of Android that is already very polished."[163]
  • Joshua Topolsky from The Verge stated, "It's one of the best smartphones ever made, and with a couple of minor tweaks (particularly to the camera), it could be the best smartphone ever produced."[164]
  • Charlie White, at Mashable, described the screen as "gorgeous", offering "an exquisitely sharp view", and describing the hardware design as "a spectacular success", concluding "The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is by far the best Android phone I’ve seen yet."[165]
