Samsung's Galaxy Nexus with Google's Android 4.0

Google has revealed the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the latest "Google phone" that serves as the trend-setter for Android devices. The Galaxy Nexus was unveiled at an event in Hong Kong, after being delayed, reportedly as a tribute to the late Steve Jobs.

The high-end model has been priced, with one UK retailer claiming the smartphone will cost £429 or $680 before taxes for the 16GB model.

According to Clove Technologies, the first stock of the new Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone is expected in the UK in early November; yet, the company also says that the 32GB version of the handset currently isn’t scheduled to go on sale in the country.

In the US, the Galaxy Nexus is expected to launch – complete with 4G LTE – on Verizon, though the carrier is yet to confirm a release date or a price. Although, it's expected to be in the range of $199.99 to $299.99 with a new, two-year agreement, given price and positioning of other LTE devices on the carrier.

The Galaxy Nexus features a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, super AMOLED HD 4.65-inch display, face recognition to unlock its screen, the ability to share content by tapping another phones equipped with a Near Field Communication chip, a camera boasting no shutter lag and even a barometer. The global launch for this kicks off in November.
