Samsung Galaxy Nexus: a true top-model.
elegant front, plastic rear: the front panel of your Galaxy Nexus looks like it was painted in black. Optically barely distinguishable from the narrow edge of the screen. Quite different is the case with the rear panel of this very slick, slightly curved smartphone: Galaxy back looks better. A thin plastic coating is indeed very catchy, but as the phone of this price range is compliant enough.
Due to the thin, slightly curved shape and dimensions of 136x69x11 mm Nexus is located in the pocket. Under the hood is indeed placed a removable battery, but there is no place on the microSD card. You have to be satisfied with internal memory of 16 GB. Cosmically
good display and touch screen resolution 1280×720 pixels Super AMOLED display diagonal is almost 4.7 inches among the currently available smartphones unique. First class picture – super-sharpness and contrast in combination with the colors, making the impression that the charac teristics of the Super AMOLED-a. Support for HD content on the big screen, the Nexus is a feast for the eye. Another strong side of the touch screen is fast and precise response to commands entered in the fingers.
Galaxy Nexus: display rules
Full Steam Ahead! CPU and GPU The Galaxy Nexus-e dual-core processor operates with a capacity of 1.2 GHz. This is nothing new, because we know already from the Galaxy S2. Also, the RAM in the two smartphones is the same – 1 GB. Galaxy graphics performance Nexus-a is at the level of such exceptional smartphones like the iPhone Galaxy S2 and 4S. According to Google the Nexus, and can be connected via Bluetooth or USB game controller.

best in the benchmark Browsermark test (brmark) Galaxy Nexus clearly beats the 99,312 points so far the best devices in this category – 4S iPhone and HTC Sensation XL. In the test Vellamo designed for models with Android-em, sets new record – 1071 points, although in the category of Flash the result is zero (according to information from Google and Adobe in December) – this is the best possible cooperation of hardware and software. It seems that Google has honored its promises that Android 4.0 will offer significantly improved hardware acceleration.
Surfing
-fast Speed ??Network Galaxy Nexus smartphone deserves praise: combined WLAN test our browser loads the page, weighing 600 KB, less than 1.8 seconds – a new record! In mobile networks, where the Nexus is working with HSPA +, the total displayed on the screen, this page takes 5.1 seconds. Although the opening of a browser, contacts and messaging smartphone needs a maximum of one second, wh ich is not a record pace, but still remains high. Daly, however, know little about the deficiencies in the performance: the image mode the camera really leaps, and scrolling through menus and web pages do not always run as smoothly as in the Galaxy S2.
Galaxy Nexus: Android 4 with super-functions.
Android 4.0 – everything in its place Android is a mature system, finally! Already the announcement showed that disorganized mish-mash or Android Market has become a few months ago something completely new in design. A similar thing took place in the Ice Cream Sandwich. Crisp, balanced and well-chosen colors and symbols okraszaj? new look Android. Placed at the bottom of the menu button disappeared completely, for now you get the settings via onscreen icons that Google reasonably zaimplementowa?o in all applications. Hallmark of the Galaxy and the Nexus-buttons are popular “back”, “home” and a new button “recently used”, which are now completely virtual. It is a good solution, both in terms of functionality and the entire design. The main menu is divided into views of applications and widgets. Samsung TouchWiz sends greetings: the size of the wi dget can now be individually adapted to the current home screen, using some kind of mesh. Android 4.0 comes on our test-ie Nexus usually smoothly and offers a lot of small changes that make the whole system is generally more polished. Ice Cream Sandwich is perhaps not a great leap forward, but rather a step forward for it in the right direction.
Camera, acoustics, battery With all the admiration of the HD display, the graphics processor and operating system, it must be remembered that the mobile phone must also meet the basic needs of users. Let’s start with the camera. When it comes to software, it has significantly improved in comparison with the Nexus-I S, the camera takes pictures much faster now. Picture quality remains average. Although the 5-megapixel camera takes pictures in daylight quite sharp and nice, but at low light and dark conditions they face are blurred and noisy. Test built-in camera with a resolution of 1080p showe d little noise, but the picture is very sharp and the colors faithfully reproduced. The quality of conversations is generally decent. Both politicians well understood during the test the acoustics. On the side of the phone appeared to be minimal background noise. Speakers should be used only in situations where there is no other way out. On the side of a fixed network fails volume and very high registers.
