When the Samsung Galaxy Nexus first arrived in the United States, it was exclusive to the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network. However, the handset has made its way to the Sprint 4G LTE system which was rolled out recently in the US, and Sprint also announced that an extra 100 major Metropolitan areas would be added to that system in the US before the end of 2012. One other good piece of news arrived this month, as the Sprint Galaxy Nexus has finally received the Jelly Bean 4.1 operating system update. Even though the Galaxy Nexus arrived on the Sprint network much later than it debuted on the Verizon system, Sprint beat Verizon to the punch by delivering Jelly Bean 4.1 first.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus for Sprint is on sale now starting at 49.99.
A brand-new Sprint 4G LTE system promises speeds up to 10 times faster than their previous 3G network, as well as simultaneous voice and data access on the Galaxy Nexus 4G. The Sprint Galaxy Nexus 4G Android smartphone delivers one of the largest screens of any handset, high-end display resolution, a powerful dual core processor and high resolution video capture out-of-the-box. One benefit that Sprint Galaxy Nexus smartphone shoppers can appreciate is the fact that competition is always good for the customer, and because of this Sprint recently reduced the retail price of their Galaxy Nexus smartphone.
The Sprint Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset offers Near Field Communications (NFC) wireless technology, which makes data sharing with applications like Android Beam and processing retail payments with the Google Wallet app possible. The Galaxy Nexus was the first to ever deliver 32 GB of built-in, user accessible data storage out-of-the-box, and the handset also contains 1.0 GB of RAM system memory. The hardware package on board includes a Texas Instruments OMAP 4460 microchip suite, and that includes a 1.2 GHz dual core central processor and graphics specific GPU.
Both YouTube and Picasa applications are pre-installed, as is a built-in music player. The 4.65 inch Super AMOLED capacitive multitouch display offers a resolution of 720 x 1,280 pixels, delivered at a high-end rate of 316 pixels per inch. The handset renders visuals in more than 16 million colors, and the camera combo on board includes a front facing VGA quality chat cam and rear facing 5.0 megapixel camcorder. That rear snapper provides video capture at 1,080P HD resolution, and bears a built-in LED flash for low light operation as well as a special effects package and wide screen panorama mode.
