Unwrapping Ice Cream Sandwich on the Galaxy Nexu

Beaming a video with a single tap or unlocking a device with only a smile
sounds like science fiction. Now, you can actually do these things (and
more) with a phone that fits in the palm of your hand.
Wednesday morning in Hong Kong—together with Samsung—we unveiled Galaxy
Nexus, the first phone designed for the latest release of Android 4.0, also
known as Ice Cream Sandwich.
With a super slim profile, Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65" Contour Display
with true high definition (720p) resolution and a lightning-fast dual core
1.2ghz processor combined with 4G LTE or HSPA+ technology. Galaxy Nexus
also features the latest in software: Ice Cream Sandwich makes Android
simple and beautiful, and takes the smartphone to beyond smart.
Beauty and simplicity
With Ice Cream Sandwich, our mission was to build a mobile OS that works on
both phones and tablets, and to make the power of Android enticing and
intuitive. We created a new font that's optimized for HD displays and
eliminated all hardware buttons in favor of adaptable software buttons. We
also dramatically improved the keyboard, made notifications more
interactive and created resizable widgets.
The desktop-class browser is significantly faster, featuring a refined tab
manager and the ability to sync your bookmarks with Google Chrome. Ice
Cream Sandwich also features the best mobile Gmail experience to date, with
a new design that lets you quickly swipe through your inbox and search
messages even when you're offline. Calendar boasts a clean new look and you
can zoom into your schedule with a pinch.
Connect and share
People are at the heart of Ice Cream Sandwich. We rethought how you browse
your contacts with the new People app, which combines high-resolution
photos and updates from Google+ and other social services. It's also easier
to capture and share your life with family and friends. Galaxy Nexus sports
a high-end camera with zero shutter lag, automatic focus, top notch
low-light performance and a simple way to capture panoramic pictures. Shoot
amazing photos or 1080p video, and then edit and share them directly from
your phone.
Beyond smart
Galaxy Nexus isn't just a smartphone—it's beyond smart. Ice Cream Sandwich
gives you complete control over the amount of mobile data you use by
helping you better understand and manage it. We're also introducing Android
Beam, which uses near field communication (NFC) to instantly share
webpages, YouTube videos, maps, directions and apps by simply tapping two
phones together. Face Unlock uses state-of-the-art facial recognition
technology to unlock your phone with nothing more than a smile.
This weekend marks the third birthday of the G1, the first-ever Android
phone. Nine releases later, more than 550,000 Android devices are activated
daily.
Starting in November, Galaxy Nexus will be available in the United States,
Canada, Europe and Asia. Check out the Nexus website for a product tour and
more info.
