I just replaced my original smartphone with the GNexus and I couldn't be more pleased with it. From the contoured glass, to the blazing speeds, a camera that works Woot! and many more things as well.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, love the 5.3" super amoled screen, i can print from my phone.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Galaxy Nexus
on January 16, 2012

I’ve had many smart phones in the past 1 year, but one thing I can say is that I liked them all. The Galaxy Nexus is one of those phones that it’s in a class of its own; reason being is because it has the newest Android OS aka "Ice cream sandwich" (ICS) 4.0. That’s one of the reasons why I got the phone, and the massive screen size! O and Samsung reputation on phones and everything they built. Will I recommend this phone? Yes! If you are the type of person who love’s technology and wants the newest gadget.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, pure android experience
Cons: Poor quality, battery life, rigntone/music volume to low
I would recommend this to a friend!

The Galaxy Nexus is easily the favorite of all the mobile phones I have ever owned. IMO this phone and its software were definetly designed to satisfy the tech-savy but even novices' such as myself are finding out quickly how much fun this phone can be. Love the design, even with extended battery it barely changes the phones prfile unlike alot of other mobile phones. Great job on this one!
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, design

Great machine - big screen, great feel.

I got my Galaxy Nexus as an x-mas gift through Verizon. It replaced my MotoDroid which I loved when it first came out, but over the two years since, has shown its age. I bought a high capacity battery and a silicon case to protect my new beastie from my clumsiness. Power-up and initialization went flawlessly and by the time I got to really play with it, nearly all my apps from my Droid had already uploaded. My anticipation at using the new "Ice Cream Sandwich" Android 4.0 operating system was rewarded with my first few minutes learning the new and improved interface. The display is bright and huge. The response to commands is fast. The machine is limited only by its connection to the world. Watching movies on the Nexus is much smoother than the old Droid. Given a 4G or Wifi connection, it is almost like watching on my TV at home. The Droid made video look like a slide show. Only a slow network will make the Nexus a little choppy, but even then, it seems to handle the slow network much better. The larger screen makes reading twitter, facebook and other apps that much easier. The Nexus also interfaces with wifi networks better, not dropping them as quickly.
Complaints that the camera is "only" 5 megapixels are pretty silly. Given the size and limited quality of the lenses in smartphones, more megapixels doesn't really add to picture quality. Getting the Nexus camera up and running and taking a picture is very fast compared to older phones. It takes less than 10 seconds from standby mode to image. My old Droid would take more than 30 seconds at best! A physical shutter button would have been nice - it's a little hard to take a picture one handed, but the camera is quick and responsive.
I tried out different security methods and went back to no security just so I could have the instant camera mode option. Facial recognition was cute and worked ok. but does not allow instant camera mode, though keeping the camera in the main menu would make that option only slightly slower than the no security option.
I was a little disappointed with the built in speaker - it's a little bit too quiet. Hearing the notification audio is a little hard and playing audio through the speaker is always too quiet, even if you turn the unit around so the speaker faces you. The included earphones work great and the audio from them is very good.
Overall, the Nexus is an excellent machine, fast, large screen, light weight. The new Android 4.0 works much better than I expected and the new interface is easy to learn and adjust to.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: external speaker

I could not be happier with my Galaxy Nexus. It's fast, reliable and the best smartphone I've had in a long time! Build quality is also stellar. If you're going to buy, the extended battery is a must.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

My first Galaxy Phone

I switch to Galaxy Nexus because of Ice Cream sandwich and because it is a Google phone. Hopefully this means I don't have to wait for months for OS upgrades. In any case, here are the pros. This phone is very light, has superb picture quality, dedicated multi-tasking button, 32 gb internal storage, organize apps via folders, dedicated widgets and app access, and lightning fast LTE. Here are some of the cons. With crisp display and fast LTE, means the battery will drain very fast (even during idle time with Juice Defender running and LTE off), the phone is very slippery, the headset jack is located at the bottom instead of on top (which means i have to insert it upside down in sports strap for running and listening to music) and speaker does not come close to the Droids. I have this phone for 2 days, so far I have not experience any app force close, but I did experience a random reboot during an application download from the app Market. I love this phone and would recommend it to any Android users.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, ice cream sandwich (yummy), 32 gb internal storage
Cons: speaker volume not loud enough, very slippery, head set jack at bottom instead of top, battery drains very fast even in idle with lte off
I would recommend this to a friend!

BEST SMARTPHONE

This Nexus device is just wonderful!! between all the stock features and the awesome custom ROMS available this is certainly my fav phone ever. 4g speeds are ridiculous. I was dying for the S3 to come out but, given what was released of the S3 and how we (the US) may lose the quadcore chipset, i'm seemingly less excited and may just hang on to this NEXUS for a while....
The build of the phone is great. most people dont like the plastic backing, i personally love i!!
those sheep always make fun of my screen size b/c it's "HUGE" i can't see having a phone smaller than this ever again...definitely not too big i can hold it normally and reach the top notification bar just fine.
SCREEN... THE DARK BLACKS ON THIS PHONE ARE AWESOME!!! very crisp look... doownload a black background and put some widgets youll see what i'm talking about.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
