    The Galaxy Nexus is easily one of Samsung’s best devices yet, offering a clean Google experience with the very latest operating system. While aspects of it won’t appeal to everyone, the clear design, beautiful screen, strong battery life and appealing OS represent Android’s first serious competitor the iPhone. Read more

    • No manufacturer modifications to get in the way of a clean Android experience, Beautiful 720p screen, Very fast
    • Plastic body hardly screams premium, No Gorilla Glass, Camera isn't very good, No LTE

    In the mobile market, Nexus is synonymous with pure. It is the unadulterated version of Android exactly as Google intended it to be. Compared to other versions of the open source software, it is free from carrier baggage and manufacturer add-ons, allowing it to deliver a fast and seamless user experience. Size is a defining factor of the Galaxy Nexus. It stands 135mm tall, just under 68mm wide and 8.9mm thick. Read more

    The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is without a doubt the best Android phone on the market right now and the best Android phone that's ever been released. The camera could use a boost in quality, the low speaker volume is annoying and battery life isn't outstanding but the Galaxy Nexus combines a gorgeous screen with slick software and super fast performance. The best phone of 2011. Read more

    • Brilliant screen, Slick, polished software, Outstanding performance
    • Average battery life, Camera isn't the best, Low speaker volume
