Samsung appears to have revealed the existence of the oft-rumoured Samsung Galaxy S3 on its website, throwing open yet more debate on when the Android quad-core monster will actually launch. Read more
I got my rant about the Samsung Galaxy Nexus’ one absurd design flaw yesterday. Now, it’s on to the good news: Ice Cream Sandwich feels like Android just grew up, and got handed a degree. Throw your mortarboards in the air!
Google, what the hell? Android Ice Cream Sandwich is an amazing, beautiful, sensible update, and the Galaxy Nexus has the most incredible screen I’ve ever seen on a phone. So why is the lock screen still so utterly idiotic?
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is on sale in the UK today (November 17th) through Phones4u, and headed to all the major networks shortly. Happy customers have already been leaving stores clutching the Android Ice Cream Sandwich handset, wide smiles etched into their faces. But are they right to be happy, or have they set themselves up for disappointment in the near future?
So, the battle lines have been drawn. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be out just a day after the Nokia Lumia 800 lands in the UK. And while it might seem obvious that the Android-packing smartphone will be the ultimate winner, this marks the beginning of a proper test for Google’s ace operating system.
Windows Phone hasn’t managed to gain much traction since its launch just a year ago. So this really is its first proper foray into the mobile big league. It’s the key focus of Nokia’s smartphone division, whereas before it’s been a secondary concern for mobile makers. This is going to be a fascinating contest and here’s why.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the first Google phone to run Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich”, will go on sale in the UK on 17 November, the Korean gadget giant announced this morning. That gives the Nokia Lumia 800, Nokia’s big comeback, just one day on the shop shelves before another high profile rival hits: it is due to go on sale on 16 November.
There’s no denying that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus’s screen is nothing short of stunning. At 720 x 1280 pixels, it’s beautifully sharp and makes Android Ice Cream Sandwich look even slicker. But if you were planning on snagging one, just beware of dropping it. Because it’s just been confirmed that the phone’s panel isn’t made from Gorilla Glass.
