Where to purchase galaxy nexus

Avoid Asian firmwares, they are battery hogs. Hence a lot of complaints here. Overall Review: Wug's toolkit makes this phone work as it should. Just great. This will now search for updates when you look for "System Updates" Personally I am happy on 4. Maybe 4. I would buy another Galaxy Nexus in a second, just not from here. Cons: The box appeared to be open, but otherwise everything seemed to be there and the serials matched.

As soon as I started the phone up, it immediately started the infernal reboot loop. I went online to see how to fix it and found out that you have to do a factory reset in order to restore the phone to an operating state. About 1 month and 2 days after ordering the phone just after the RMA date the phone went into yet another reboot loop that became unrecoverable.

No matter what I did, I could not get the phone to stop rebooting. I contacted Newegg RMA department, who referred me to the Samsung Support web page, who in order to get service on your phone, you have to register it on the website. So I contacted the UK support department. Overall Review: Ran out of space in Cons The UK Support department wanted me to "drop-off" the phone at one of their repair facilities nearest my location.

Of course, you can't just mail your phone either. So instead they directed me back to Newegg who was my retailer. But this product, Samsung, Google What have you done!? Pros: Nice, solidly constructed feel, even if it is mostly plastic.

Doesn't have the same cheap, creaky feel the original Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 had. Reception, both 3G and wifi, is better than the Galaxy S.

Sound quality is okay, but not overly loud, especially on speaker. Jellybean Android 4. Since the phone is a "pure" Google device, you'll be the first to receive OS updates Android 4. The LED flash can be useful, but tends to blow out pictures. It's more purposeful as a flashlight, usually. Samsung also thought to include an actual LED notification light at the bottom of the phone, which was an annoyance I had with the Galaxy S, which had no notification lights.

Browser speed and multitasking is much improved over earlier single core model phones, even though the hardware in this phone isn't cutting edge anymore. With Jellybean, at least, battery life seems quite good. As a pleasant surprise, the GPS works quite well on this phone. Samsung has had issues with GPS drivers in the past, but it seems those days are behind us. Cons: Camera is okay, but nothing to write home about. Don't get hung up on megapixel count because it really doesn't matter if the manufacturer uses low quality optics.

The 5MP sensor in this phone is completely usable, but suffers in low light environments as do all phone cameras. Even at the highest volume, the speaker still isn't very loud. This can be remedied by an application from the Play store called Volume Plus, if I remember correctly. Not really a great device with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, but Jellybean addresses most of those issues, and comes as an OTA update as soon as you power on the phone. Health Energy Environment.

It's all black and being built from the ground up as an Android 4. In fact, all you have on the front is the screen, front facing camera and the brightness sensor, plus a cheeky little light beneath the screen that you don't even know exists until you get an email and it begins to pulsate. The whole handset has a curved shape much like that on the Samsung Galaxy S3 but it's not too severe. The rear takes its design cues from the Samsung Galaxy S2 with a snap on cover that feels slightly coarse to give a good grip.

It has both Google and Samsung branding on it. You won't find an SD slot on the outside, or indeed, the inside. Ridiculously, this — the flagship Google handset which is so set up as a media device — has been crippled by having NO expandable memory. Words fail us. And they may fail you when you realise that 16GB internal storage is your lot.

But the screen, when lit up, looks fantastic. It's 4.
