Google and Samsung unveiled the Galaxy Nexus on 19 October.  The Galaxy Nexus is the first phone designed for the latest release of Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich.

The Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65” contour display with a high definition resolution (720p), a dual core 1.2Ghz processor and LTE or HSPA+ technology.

“With Ice Cream Sandwich, our mission was to build a mobile OS that works on both phones and tablets, and to make the power of Android enticing and intuitive,” said Andy Rubin, Senior Vice President at Google Mobile.

“We created a new font that’s optimized for HD displays and eliminated all hardware buttons in favor of adaptable software buttons. We also dramatically improved the keyboard, made notifications more interactive and created resizable widgets.”

Rubin added that the Galaxy Nexus sports a high-end camera with zero shutter lag, automatic focus, and good low-light performance. “Shoot photos or 1080p video, and then edit and share them directly from your phone,” said Rubin.

Starting in November, Galaxy Nexus will be available in the United States, Canada, Europe and Asia.
