The Samsung Galaxy Nexus - A Look At Some Features Of This Model Previously we took a look at the new Samsung

Galaxy Nexus and what it offered in terms of design and screen performance. We were suitably impressed so now it is time to delve a little deeper and take a look at some other aspects of this exc iting new device. One thing you will notice when using the handset for the first time is that it o perates at a very fast pace. A powerful 1.2 Ghz processor is the reason why this operation is so impressive. This ARM Cortex A9 chip is a dual core affair meani ng multi tasking really benefits as one core can perform your current task whils t the second core can keep one running in the background. A slight disappointmen t with the model is that it offers an inferior graphics processing unit to the p opular Galaxy S2 model. The Power VR SGX540 is a good quality chip and capable o f handling a wide variety of material but it would have been nice to see this mo del offer something a little more in line with what is fitted on other premium m odels. The Galaxy Nexus is available with two different internal storage capacit ies. The smaller model should suffice the everyday smartphone user with its 16GB of capacity whilst the larger 32GB model will be more suited to anybody looking to store a large number of audio or video files on the handset. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus includes a digital still camera capable of taking photo graphs in 5 mega pixel resolution. Despite this standard being lower than the 8 mega pixel offered on many new phones it still gives a high quality of image tha t looks superb when viewed on the phones own screen. It is pleasing to se that t he video capture is of the highest quality thanks to its 1080P capabilities whic h make it one of the best models available in this area and certainly equal to t he likes of the iPhone 4S and the HTC Sensation XE. As is common with premium sm artphones a secondary front facing camera is included. This is a cut above the u sual standard and can capture pictures at 1.3 mega pixel resolution as well as e nable video calls. The upgraded operating system present on this model brings many changes to mobil e devices that we saw implemented on Android tablet devices earlier in the year. Web browsing benefits from a boost in speed as well as improved tab browsing fa cilities. The Google voice search feature has also been improved although its us e is not as varied as the new Siri system that Apple offer on their latest model s. Seasoned Android users will notice some subtle enhancements to the interface whilst multi tasking has also seen some improvements applied. The new Samsung Galaxy Nexus could well be the phone to take over from the Galax y S as the leading mobile device. Despite one or two areas which could have been improved such as the digital still camera and the GPU the phone offers high spe cification and looks to rival every other phone that is currently available.
