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.

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.

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 Face Unlock: With Face Unlock on Galaxy Nexus you can now unlock your phone with a smile. No complicated passwords to remember, just switch on your phone and look into the camera to quickly unlock your phone.

 

Android Beam Android Beam: With Galaxy Nexus you can now easily share contacts, websites, apps, maps, directions and YouTube™ videos to other people close by. Simply hold two NFC enabled Android phones close to each other and touch to beam and share.

 

Voice typing: Watch text instantly appear as you speak with voice input. Touch the microphone on the keyboard and use your voice to instantly type your emails, SMS, or anywhere you want to enter text.

 

Google Plus Google+:With Google+ built in, sharing the right things with the right people is a lot easier. With Messenger, you can bring groups of friends together into a simple group conversation and with Hangouts you can now video chat with up to 9 people wherever you are.

 

Camera 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 1080p videos, edit and then share them right from your phone.

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 Verizon’s 4G LTE network, so you’ll have the fastest phone performance on the fastest network.
