Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 hands on review

samsung galaxy nexus with android 4.0

Galaxy Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich verdict

Is it our imagination? No – the Galaxy Nexus is the most iPhone-like Android phone to date and Ice Cream Sandwich is the most iOS-like iteration of Android. The lack of buttons, the endless list of pilfered UI elements, visual voicemail… the whole shebang. Of course, it’s a circular argument (iOS has robbed more than its fair share of Android innovations), but the message here is that Google’s Nexus does not want to be number two. And if developers are smart about applying Android 4.0’s hoard of open-source treats to their apps, there’s no reason it should be. As things stand, the iPhone only retains the smartphone crown with its industry-leading build and unrivalled App Store. The rest is yet to be written, but we’ll be back with a full review soon.

    There are a few types of mobile users on this planets. Ones who have a loyalty like me (android) and ones who couldnt care less.
    As im loyal to Android, I dont care about what Apple did
    If i was loyal to Apple i wouldnt care about what Andoid is upto
    If i didnt care at all, i wouldnt be reading this.
    So why does every phone have to compare to iPhone?
    "the screen is better than iPhone"
    So...?

    The way i see it, Samsung has been making mobiles, alot longer than Apple, Samsung have helped build the industry Apple is trying to rule, Samsung helped develop the tech. Apple is treating all manufactures as there R&D department, but if someone tries to use a proven good idea the lawyers come out to play. If thats the game Apple want to play, they should leave 3G alone as that was Samsungs idea.

    Common stuff get off apples horse and review the product for what it is. How many times has apple borrowed from android!
    They are really as bad as each other...but keep the courts busy all the same. Looking forward to s3. This isn't good enough!
