The stylish look of the Galaxy Nexus confirms what we’ve already seen in leaked screenshots and sports a curved design and a slip-resistant hyper-skin backing. It measures 135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94 mm and weighs 135 grams
The phone has no physical buttons, but uses on-screen soft keys embedded into the system software. As detailed in our first look at the new Android update, users will also be able to tap two Nexus’ devices together to share data.
On the rear of the phone there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack, but no microSD slot to add extra storage, so users will be limited to either a 16GB or 32GB device.
The Galaxy Nexus isn't as fast as the 1.5GHz-powered HTC Sensation, or the Samsung Galaxy S II - and it’s a little odd that the rear-facing camera only boasts 5MP quality when the Samsung Galaxy S II has 8MP - but the stylish design and powerful screen look likely to be its main selling points. Let's not kid ourselves though, the Galaxy Nexus is going to fly off the shelves largely based on the fact it boasts the new Android operating system.
Are you impressed?
