Detailed review
After spending a week with the Galaxy Nexus, I have found many aspects to be superb while finding a few small annoyances. The battery life is average as long as one practices smart power management. The display is fantastically sharp and the operating system and apps feel snappy in terms of speed all the time. The inclusion of ICS helps this phone feel like a more fleshed out package - even though there still oddities in Android that could stand to be tweaked. I have not had the chance to properly test the camera yet so, I will refrain from commenting on it. The large size that may be a turn off for some people, the size feels refreshing for my large hands compared to using a smaller phone previously. Overall, the phone is one of the top smartphones available in terms of hardware design and benefits from the early inclusion of ICS.
