The Galaxy Nexus - Simple. Beautiful. Beyond smart. Galaxy Nexus is the ultimate in portability. At just 9.47 mm thin and powered by a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor built to soar on 3G network, nothing can hold you back. Galaxy Nexus is the first phone with Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, the sweetest version yet. All-new features include Android Beam for NFC sharing and Face Unlock, which replaces passwords with a smile. With the first HD Super AMOLED Contoured Display, Galaxy Nexus displays flawless TV shows and movies. You can even shoot and share HD pictures and video with either of two cameras, including 5.0 MP with flash. Featuring auto contact backup and native Google+, Galaxy Nexus allows you to chat with one friend or chat with several-at the same time making social more sociable. 

  • newegg Super AMOLED goes HD Galaxy Nexus is the world's first phone with a 4.65" high-definition Super AMOLED display, making text, photos, videos and games look crisp, vibrant and rich. With 1280x720 HD resolution, videos look amazing and the unique Contour Display curves nicely to the shape of your face and makes it easier to hold.
  • newegg Gentle curves ahead Hands aren’t flat. Neither are pockets. That’s why Galaxy Nexus has been carefully and ergonomically designed to have a gentle curved shape that just feels nice. And, at just 9.47mm, it’s the definition of slim.
  • newegg More powerful than it looks Don’t let the slim, elegant design fool you. The Galaxy Nexus is a power heavyweight. Samsung engineers have found a way to get a 1.2GHz dual-core processor inside its 9.47mm body. So you’ll have all the graphics, computing and video processing power you’ll ever need.
  • newegg Your first taste of Ice Cream Sandwich The Galaxy Nexus by Samsung is a phone full of firsts. For starters, this is the first phone to run the new Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich platform. It does everything Gingerbread and Honeycomb could do, plus lots more. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich brings an entirely new look and feel to Android. The lock screen, widgets, notifications, multi-tasking and everything in between has been rethought and refined to make Android simple, beautiful, and beyond smart. Face Unlock feature allows you to unlock your Galaxy Nexus with a smile while Android Beam allows you to share anything between two NFC enabled Android phones. You can even use your voice to instantly type your emails SMS, or anywhere you want to enter text with the voice typing feature. The built-in Google+ allows you to chat with people wherever you are.
  • newegg Single-Motion Panoramic Camera With Galaxy Nexus you get a high-end camera with zero shutter-lag, automatic focus, top notch low-light performance and a simple, intuitive way to take panoramic pictures. No stitching needed. Take amazing photos or 720p videos, edit and then share them right from your phone.
  • newegg Faster than you’d expect Ice Cream Sandwich is designed to squeeze maximum performance from the 1.2GHz dual-core processor for additional speed and processing power. It’s the first Android platform built to truly optimize the benefits of dual-core processing so you can multi-task with multiple windows open without slowing down. All this power runs on 3G network, so you’ll have the fastest phone performance on the fastest network.

Please read the product description carefully for all unlocked cell phones.

Some unlocked cell phones sold by Newegg may have previously been locked to a specific carrier. A carrier-locked cell phone may often have carrier-specific applications and branding. Some of these applications cannot be unlocked and/or may not function with a different carrier. Also, applications requiring a data plan may result in data usage charges from the original carrier.

In addition, the cell phone box may arrive unsealed and the cell phone may appear previously handled. The unlocking procedure requires unsealing the box and manually handling the cell phone. In this case, the cell phone should not be considered "tampered with" or "defective".

2 out of 5 eggsGreat phone, poor service

Pros: Very slick phone when it works.

Cons: This is an international phone. Had to unlock the bootloader to put the updated 4.2.1 android on it. Then the phone would sometime freeze and reboot when making/answering calls. After about a month of calling newegg, then calling/chatting with samsung I found out that samsung will not warranty this device because it is unlocked from newegg. Just keep this in mind if you have a problem. Also not that the box seal will be broken because to unlock the phone they (newegg) has to open the box.

Other Thoughts: After a lot of wasted time on my part I have finally got newegg to replace the phone. Hopefully the new one will work better than the old one...

4 out of 5 eggsWhy would you buy any other Android

Pros: You will get updated to Jelly Bean 4.2 if this is the same model you can purchase from google play.

Never notice any lag or anything, opens apps quickly and smoothly.
large screen, but very sleek: no physical buttons, and the glass is curved. =O

Google really does offer a great number of services (apps) on this device. For the price, I asked myself what other phone i would purchase for $350? The answer was a low range, old sony. So I chose the GNEX.

Cons: Backplate is as plasticky as most reviews say. Its attached but it is raised near the camera lense and makes a strange squeeking noise.
Watch out not to press the volume rocker when turning off phone.

Shoddy camera imho. I'd love a big honkin camera, but i can borrow my dads dslr for that.

Other Thoughts: I bought this phone from Google.

4 out of 5 eggsSlick

Pros: - solid thin light design
- wicked screen, a good combination of size and pixel ratio
- only 3 exterior buttons (can also be a negative)
- Responsive and Intuitive.
- Runs latest android releases right from Google
- runs for an avg of 24 hours with general use

Cons: - Screen burn in from buttons and notification bar
- because of the screen it only gets about 3 - 6 hours of heavy use depending.
- no wireless charging
- no smart tv video

Other Thoughts: The Galaxy Nexus is actually a great phone. There are a few customization issues I have with the operating system but over all the interface is well built. The screen burn in could be solved, and that's really the only problem I've found hardware wise. Just be aware this phone doesn't have all the latest hardware, as you may notice because of it's lack of newer features. The LG Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy 3 and HTC one X all have more powerful hardware and newer options. How ever Google now is an option that far outways any hardware choice from the above devices. Also buy a case these phones are slabs of glass, sturdy slabs of glass.

5 out of 5 eggsBrilliant phone!

Pros: Great phone, runs fast, it was really easy to convert over to Yakju and get the latest updates direct from Google. Brilliant curved screen, great for running games!

Cons: A little bit lacking on the CPU and GPU side, but this is easily remedied by overclocking. No cons, really, aside from it feeling a little plastic-y and cheap, which is fixed by putting it in a case.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat phone to use with no-contract plans.

Pros: This phone is fast, never skips a beat.
Unlocked with stock Google OS. This means it will be the first to be upgraded to the next OS version and all features are available, including hot spot.
Large screen.
Easy to use buttons that don't get hit by accident.

Cons: No expansion.
Battery life could be better.
Newegg has to lower their price for this, check out google play.

Other Thoughts: I've got the T-Mobile prepaid $30/month plan - unlimited data, 100 minutes/month.
The phone is a bit slick. Be sure to get a case right away. I dropped mine and nicked it a bit before I got a case.
I got the My-Carbon case, great value.
