Google and Samsung
have just made the long-awaited
Galaxy Nexus official here in Hong Kong, and the specifications are downright drool-worthy. Those with bantam hands need not apply, as this 4.65- inch behemoth is bound to bring back talk of Sidetalkin. Ice Cream Sandwich is onboard, with Google finally revealing the version number as 4.0. Other specs include an HD Super AMOLED display (1,280 x 720), a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 5 megapixel rear camera (with LED flash), a 1.3 megapixel front-facing cam, 1080p30 video recording and playback, a newfangled panorama mode, a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 3.0. You’ll also find USB 2.0, 802.11a /b/g /n WiFi, an embedded NFC module, accelerometer, compass, gyro, proximity sensor and even a barometer. Finishing things out, there’s 1GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal storage space and a 1,750mAh battery. As for radios? There’s an HSPA+ model on tap, while an LTE version will “be available depending on region.”
There’s nearly a mention of carrier in the press release we’re holding, but based on earlier leaks, a 4G build for Verizon seems final.
Ice Cream Sandwich Android 4.0 will bring “an entirely new look and feel to Android,” boasting a redesigned user interface, bolstered multitasking / notifications, full-on NFC support and a new People app, which enables users to browse friends, family and coworkers’ photos whilst peeking their status updates from Google+. ICS also introduces Face Unlock, which taps into facial recognition protocols in order to unlock your handset. And then there’s Android Beam, an NFC-based technology that allows you to “quickly share webpages, apps and YouTube videos by simply tapping two phones together.” According to Google,
“lock screen, home screen, phone app and everything in between has been rethought and redesigned,”
Wondering to when ICS will be rolled out to other handsets.
