The Galaxy line of handsets has been extremely popular for smartphone manufacturer Samsung, and extremely popular in the eyes of Android smartphone shoppers around the world. And when the Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G Android smartphone debuted last year in the United States, it was the first mobile handset in that country to deliver the long-awaited Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) 4.0 operating system. The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE system was at that time the exclusive destination of the Galaxy Nexus 4G, and it immediately became a best seller for that wireless service provider. Recently however, the newly launched 4G LTE system of Sprint in the United States also found the Galaxy Nexus 4G running on their speedy network.

Competition is always great for the consumer, and Sprint recently reduced the retail price of their handset to make the full-featured “pure Google” smartphone even more attractive to mobile handset shoppers. The phone has immediately become a flagship device for Sprint, and technically the smartphones are identical. The Galaxy Nexus 4G for Sprint offers one of the biggest screens in the entire 4G smartphone marketplace, a powerful and speedy dual core processor, and the most built-in, out-of-the-box data storage of any smartphone.
In the back of the handset is integrated a 5.0 megapixel camcorder which provides video capture at a high resolution rate of 1,080P HD, and Near Field Communications (NFC) support is offered out-of-the-box. Google integration is complete with Google Search, Google Maps, Gmail, YouTube, Google Talk and Picasa pre-installed, and the Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus 4G handset boasts a large 4.65 inch Super AMOLED screen. Pixel density runs to the high-end compared to other smartphones, at 316 pixels per inch, allowing for an overall display resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels. Visuals are rendered in more than 16 million colors, and an oleophobic coating protects the display against scratching.
A separate graphics processing chip joins a 1.2 GHz dual core central processor in the Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 microchip suite on board the handset, and a full 1.0 GB of RAM memory is on board. The handset delivers 32 GB of built-in, user accessible storage out-of-the-box, leading the 4G smartphone field. A front facing 1.3 megapixel chat cam can be used to snap portrait snapshots or place video calls, and joins the above-mentioned 5.0 megapixel camcorder in the camera combo. That rear facing camcorder delivers white balance, a panorama wide screen mode, autofocus, geo-tagging and special effects package, and comes equipped with an LED flash.
