The Galaxy Nexus 4G was a important milestone in mobile handsets, and arrived back in December of 2011 on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the US. The Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 Android operating system was announced in early 2011, and the Galaxy Nexus 4G was the first time that OS appeared on a smartphone in the United States. Delivering 32 GB of built-in data storage as the best of any smartphone, the Galaxy Nexus 4G Android handset still offers one of the largest high resolution screens of any smartphone, in a wafer thin design.
Wireless service provider Sprint recently debuted their 4G LTE system in the United States, and will be adding at least 100 major Metropolitan areas by the end of the year. They recently added the Galaxy Nexus 4G to their list of offerings, and simultaneous voice and data access allows you to browse the web, check your e-mail or participate in some other activity while in the middle of a voice call on the Sprint network. Select authorized Sprint online cell phone providers recently discounted the on contract price of the Galaxy Nexus 4G for Sprint to $49.
The handset was also one of the first to offer Near Field Communications (NFC) support out-of-the-box, allowing access to retail payment processing apps like Google Wallet. That handset also provides wireless data transfer connectivity through applications such as Android Beam. A 1.2 GHz dual core central processor joins a graphics specific chip in the Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 microchip suite on board the handset, and 1.0 GB of RAM system memory is also present.
The Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G comes equipped with a 1,850 mA battery which delivers up to 7.50 hours of talk time from a single charge. Popular applications Picasa and YouTube have been pre-installed, as has a built-in music player which supports all major audio file formats. With a 4.65 inch Super AMOLED display, the handset offers one of the largest on any smartphone, and pixel density is at the extreme high end at 316 pixels per inch.
This creates a display with overall resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels, one of the highest in the entire mobile marketplace. Video capture runs 1,080P HD resolution with the rear facing 5.0 megapixel camcorder, and video calls can be placed using the front facing chat cam. Google is present throughout, with the Galaxy Nexus 4G for Sprint delivering Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail and Google Talk applications which are ready for use out-of-the-box.
