First there was Black Friday, the annual day after Thanksgiving shopping bonanza that is regularly the busiest shopping day of the year in the United States. Online retailers anxious to get a piece of the massive holiday shopping pie then created Cyber Monday in an attempt to replicate the Black Friday brick and mortar holiday shopping experience. Consumer-electronics and other items are drastically reduced, and deals begin on the first Monday after Thanksgiving, dubbed Cyber Monday because of the fact that all sales are held online.
Those sales generally continue the entire week beginning with that Monday, and Amazon is cranking up their annual Cyber Monday Deals Week November 26. Sprint has teamed up with Amazon to offer the Galaxy Nexus 4G on their virginal 4G LTE network for just a few pennies on contract. The handset was the first to deliver the Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) Android 4.0 operating system to a US smartphone, and it just recently received the Jelly Bean 4.1 operating system update over the air. With the most out-of-the-box, built-in data storage, a wafer thin design, powerful dual core processor and high resolution display, the handset has become a flagship device for Sprint.
The Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G offers an improved Google Now application as part of the Jelly Bean 4.1 OS. That operating system delivers Project Butter, which makes for a faster and smoother user interface, and also better camera operation. Speeds between screens and applications have also noticeably improved over ICS 4.0, with contextual search capabilities and a virtual personal assistant as part of Google Now. The OS also delivers the Google App Drawer, which is located in the center of your home screen and offers immediate access to your most frequently used applications.
The interface on the Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G is also clutter free, and the handset delivers a voice to text dictation functionality. The handset arrived in late December of last year, and is still one of the best performing Android smartphones nearly a year after its arrival. The 4.65 inch screen is one of the largest of any smartphone, and the display resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels is extremely high. That pixel density runs 316 pixels per inch, and the 32 GB of onboard data storage is the best offered by any smartphone.
The Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G gets its power from a 1.2 GHz dual core central processor, a separate GPU handles all graphics processing, and 1.0 GB of RAM system memory is on board.YouTube and Picasa applications are pre-installed, and the handset delivers Near Field Communications (NFC) wireless support out-of-the-box. A front facing chat cam provides video call support, and the rear facing 5.0 megapixel camcorder can record video in 1,080P HD resolution.
You can purchase the Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Sprint at a reduced price now starting at $19.99.
