The screen is gorgeous. It's the first Super AMOLED HD screen (with full 1280x720 resolution). It doesn't have quite as high a pixel density as the HTC Rezound (316 ppi vs. 342 ppi)
But it makes up for it by being far brighter

The Galaxy Nexus is one of the few Android devices that doesn't have a micro SD card slot
Which means that you're stuck with what you've got in terms of storage. The volume on the external speaker is sub-par. The LED notification light pul
No LTE coverage yet. Limited audio and video codec support. No card slot. Buggy HDMI output

Not as solid as other flagship phones
Camera suffers at night
Volume drop bug affecting some users
No expandable memory
Camera is just okay
No Google Wallet support
No microSD card slot
No support for Google Wallet out of the box (but it is installable)
High price
Quite large
LTE reception issues
Relatively low resolution camera
Sluggish performance
Choppy web browsing
Poor quality video recording
Low signal strength
Some apps not fully optimized for ICS
Bringing out annoying bugs. Snaps pics way faster than a Polaroid
Though image quality is twice as crappy. Awesomely shiny screen makes for lessthanawesome battery life
Ice Cream Sandwich has eliminated some of Android's learning curve in some aspects
Just to re-create it in others. There was some static on calls
And there's no external memory card slot. Also
Like other Samsung Galaxy devices
The Galaxy Nexus feels r
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
Out of all of its features, the screen on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is undoubtedly the star of the show. It features a staggering 1280 x 720 pixel resolution, bettering any smartphone we've seen to date, and it's easily sharp enough to view any websites without having to scroll from side to side. Super AMOLED technology is also used to provide glorious colours, and it's a great screen for watching
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.
Overall, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a fantastic smartphone, and it's definitely one of the best devices currently on sale. It offers more power than you'll ever need, a screen that puts rivals to shame, and loads of features. Only the size will put so...

Big, bright screen, "Pure" Android 4.0, Fast and responsive,
Not a design revolution, Poor battery life, Mediocre camera

After spending some quality time with the phone, we have to admit that it didn’t really blow us away, as we had hoped it would. It’s a very good phone, yes, but it left us asking for more. ICS is a definite plus point here, as it’s a very stable (afte...
