Samsung hit a grand slam when they started the Galaxy line of handsets a few years ago. That entire lineup has been extremely successful for Samsung, as well as popular with Android smartphone shoppers globally and in the US. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus arrived in the United States at the end of last year, just in time for the holiday shopping season. Delivering the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 operating system out-of-the-box, the Galaxy Nexus was originally exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system in the US. Recently, Sprint launched a brand-new 4G LTE network in the United States, and the Galaxy Nexus 4G LTE smartphone was one of the first handsets to arrive on that speedy network. The handset also received the Android Jelly Bean update late last week to put it up to date with the competition.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Sprint is on sale now starting at 49.99.
In an effort to steal market share away from Verizon and any other network offering the Galaxy Nexus 4G, Sprint recently dropped the retail price of their Galaxy Nexus to bargain-basement levels on contract. As a result, the “pure Google experience” that handset offers has made it a flagship device for the new Sprint 4G LTE system. The Galaxy Nexus 4G delivers a powerful dual core processor, and one of the largest high resolution screens found on any smartphone. And the handset delivers the most built-in, user accessible data storage of any 4G mobile handset.
Offering Near Field Communications (NFC) support for applications like Google Wallet and Android Beam, the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus offers simultaneous voice and data access. Around back of the handset is a 5.0 megapixel camcorder which delivers video capture at 1,080P HD and 30 frames per second. Google is present in the form of Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk and Picasa pre-installed applications. The screen on the handset runs 4.65 inches, and that Super AMOLED display is one of the largest found on any smartphone. Pixel density runs 316 pixels per inch for an overall display resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels.
In the Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 microchip suite, a 1.2 GHz dual core central processor joins a separate GPU that handles all graphics processing. The handset delivers 1.0 GB of RAM system memory, and the 32 GB of built-in data storage leads the 4G field. On the front of the Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G facing the user is a 1.3 megapixel chat cam which provides video call support. It is joined in the camera combo by the rear facing camcorder mentioned above, which delivers a widescreen panorama mode, autofocus, white balance and Geo tagging features, and contains a special effects package.
