As for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the circuitry of the handset revolves around a Texas Instruments OMAP4460 chipset with dual-core capabilities. The computing power needed by the handset for its operation is generated by its dual-core 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A9 processor and 1GB of RAM while its onboard storage comes up to 32GB. The standout feature of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is its curved SuperAMOLED display that measures 4.65 inches and has a 1280 x 720 resolution. The only snag in the impressive credentials of the handset is its mediocre shooting department with only a 5MP camera at its back panel and a 1.3MP snapper out front.
