A few minutes early from This is my next who obtained an official press release, Samsung has officially announced one of the most anticipated devices of the year: the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus is the flagship Android device to run Google’s next version of Android, Android 4.o — aka Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Nexus is packing specs wise, featuring a 4.65-inch (1280 x 720) 720P HD Super AMOLED display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Storage wise the device comes in a 16GB or 32GB version. The device features a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera (1o80p at 30FPS) and 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera. As it goes for connectivity the device features Bluetooth 3.0, USB, Wi-Fi, and NFC — which will hopefully have Wallet enabled.
We’re hearing the device features Google+ integration inside, but we’re sure that has to do more with Ice Cream Sandwich.
The device features the curved design that was rumored, making the Prime 8.94mm thick and 135g in weight. The device also features a barometer! We’re waiting for some official press shots, so hang tight until the event begins.
The Galaxy Nexus lands in November in U.S., Europe, and Asia, but no carriers have been announced

This was a big disappointment. I was hoping for a 1.5 at least, maybe even 1.8. 8MP camera, and a nice design. Oh, and a better name
5 megapixel?! wth
Really disappointing for the android users i guess. but to be honest the nexus phones always are,
(NOT saying android phones just the nexus range to clarify)
The more Android phones I look at, the more it seems each one is trying to have a slightly bigger screen than the last. 4-inch, 4.5 inch, now 4.65 inch. At some point, they're going to get too big to carry easily, and actually, I think they've passed that when they got over 4 inches. I really hope they try to differentiate themselves in a way other than making the screens bigger. Cell phones are supposed to be portable.
And the difference between an Android phone and tablet continues to blur… now it's only 2.35" for many models.
