The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is finally available in the U.S. from Verizon Wireless. The Nexus is the first device in the U.S. to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), the most recent version of Google's Android operating system.
The phone runs on Verizon's 4G LTE network, which just celebrated its first-year anniversary and is now available in 190 markets. Verizon now has a bunch of killer LTE smartphones, so we decided to see how the Galaxy Nexus stacks up against the current leaders, the Motorola Droia Bionic and the Motorola Droid RAZR
The Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED display with 1280-by-720 resolution, which blows the competition away, both in terms of size and resolution. But it's powered by a dual-core 1.2-GHz TI OMAP4460 processor, which puts it right in line with the Bionic and the RAZR.
The Nexus has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video chat. That's a step down from the 8-megapixel rear-facing cameras on the Bionic and the RAZR—though we were actually a bit disappointed by the Bionic's camera performance in our tests.
The Galaxy Nexus includes 1GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, but lacks a microSD card slot. The Bionic and RAZR, on the other hand, both come with 16GB of internal memory, and 16GB microSD cards, expandable to 32GB, so ultimately they can store up to 48GB.
