"I use my 'phone' for just about everything I used to do on my PC other than some gaming and document creation (Word, Excel, etc) - and it works amazingly well. The pure Android experience is nearing perfection. The transitions and multi-tasking are smooth and fast. The phone works perfectly on Verizon's network, and the 4G data speeds are really impressive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. I have the 2100mAh battery - and it isn't "great" on 4G, but it lasts long enough for my taste."
"I am new to the smartphone market, but I have been an “all thumbs” PC user for years. My son who is in IT advised me to get a Galaxy Nexus because he knows I like to experiment and change things in my toys. The screen size and its clarity are exceptional. The learning curve was very short. My wife has an iPhone 4S and I think it's great, but the Galaxy Nexus is my choice because the viewing area is larger and the colors seem brighter and crisper making reading and watching videos easier. Probably the nicest feature is you can add files to the phone using a USB from your computer to the phone. Just copy files you want without using separate programs. When the files are in the phone, you can sort or arrange them using play lists or naming schemes. This feature gives you great flexibility. Being able to replace or upgrade the battery is another nice feature."
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Realistic color, battery can be upgrade or replace, the larger screen is nice, easy to load audio and video files
Cons: built-in-speakers could be loader, battery life 8-10 hours w/moderate use

"This phone is rock solid when it comes to modding and overall performance. If you're looking for a good, Android-powered phone, then this thing works wonders stock. It has great performance and a decent amount of features without any major modification. The major benefit to this phone is that it is part of the Nexus series which means it really is a "Google" phone. This indicates that at its core, the phone is one for developers. The bootloader is easily unlocked, it is simple to root, and therefore customize. You will find a plethora of custom roms and kernels out there, some very lean and efficient, others jam packed with custom features.
Overall, great performance, the screen is fantastic, amazing support community, and it's very easy to customize. Only con I have is battery life. This phone knows how to suck power (even without custom roms). The extended battery helps, but it's still tough to get through an entire day of moderate use. Keep a car charger handy."
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, stock google android
Cons: battery life could be better

Review 5 for Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) Android Smartphone
"This galaxy nexus is one incredible phone. Over the past year, there have been updates and better processors, and better cameras, but this device, by far has been one of the best designed phones for comfort, size, durability, and best Nexus Android Experiences yet. The touch buttons on this device was by far the best decision to have gone with, why we are not going back to a physical home button I don't know or particularly care for. I won a galaxy Note 2 and love all the features and camera technologies from super slow motion video for bio-mechanical analysis to the multiple pictures able to be taken in a single video clip, but I miss the Nexus like experience. The touch buttons on this device and the customization was key to the success of this device. A bigger batter would have helped, but overall a great product!"

"I liked everything about the phone except one thing. It had signal/antenna issues and thats a big deal 4 me. Its not a phone if it doesnt get reception"
"The Galaxy Nexus is a great device. I use it for everything. I use it as if it is a stand alone computer. Watching videos, checking emails, and social media. My only grip is that in rural areas I find it to be lacking more so than other devices I have used in the past. Overall, it is a wonderful device that satisfies all my computing needs, just a bit lacking in cell signal in the rural areas. That could be a provider issue, but I have a feeling some of the blame lies with the manufacturer."

Upgraded from Gingerbread to this - wow
PostedDecember 2, 2012
I would recommend this to a friend!
PostedDecember 2, 2012
"Really can't say enough good things about this phone. It's running Jellybean, which is the newest version of the Andriod OS. I upgraded to this phone from a phone that was running Gingerbread and the difference is night and day.
OS aside, this is a well made product. Feels good in the hand, not too heavy/bulky, easy to slip into my pocket.
What really stands out about this phone to me is the intuitiveness of it. Some of it is Jellybean, some is Samsung. You can tell that someone really thought out how the phone should be laid out and how it should interact with the user. The phone I upgraded from was adequate, but this is something totally new.
Screen is great, been watching Netflix and video quality is top shelf
The only drawback to this phone is the standard battery. If you use it a lot, you'll want to get the extended battery. Pretty sure you'll use it a lot, since there's a lot it can do. Granted, I haven't begun to learn all it is capable of but I haven't found much it can't do, and do well."

"Even though this phone is more than a year old, and a different manufacturer has released the newest Nexus, I still recommend the Galaxy Nexus to my friends.
I'm currently running the latest version of Android on it with no problems at all.
It's got everything I need and want.
The camera is not the best available, even among other Samsung phones, but I tend to also carry a DSLR for photographs anyway.
The battery life is not that great, but I have yet to experience a smartphone with anything I would call great battery life."

Nothing But Good Things

PostedNovember 29, 2012
"This phone has been awesome since day 1. I upgraded from a Samsung Stratosphere, and this phone blew my mind. This was my first Nexus device, and it really allowed me to explore the Android ecosystem. There were so many features that were available on the phone, and I finally felt very happy to own a phone (and that's difficult for me, since I switch phones often). I've owned this phone for around eight months now, and I have loved every moment of it.
Coupled with a larger battery, this phone SHOULD last someone most of the day (though I use my phone a lot, so I have to recharge about 3/4 of the way through my day). If anything, I wish there was a bigger battery, but I feel like that has more to do with Verizon LTE than anything.
Overall, I love this phone, and I would recommend it to anyone. Great work, Samsung. Keep up the great work!"

It is very easy to learn and very user friendly to both the non droiders and the hard core droid people."

"This is a great phone and I only 4 starts on Performance due to the lousy battery that is with it. 1850 is by far not enough to get you through a 6 hours of your day. Even the extended 2100 is pushing it, but I manage with it. The features of this phone though is GREAT! I am only my second device only due to cracking the screen on my first one, rather than sending it in to Sammy I bought a used on for close to the same price as them repairing it. If you are a heavy users as in always have the phone in your hand doing something with it then you'll need to get the larger extended battery, most do not come with NFC support but power is what we love. Other downfall that I have to give this phone is the sound. Poor sound output. ICS sounds was great but JB not so much. Hopefully another update with fix this."

Since the update new features like google now really bring the device to life, and being a nexus nice not to have all the additional blot ware. Only thing that ends up being a bummer is google wallet being blocked by Verizon or showing unsupported device. Beyond that great experience quick to respond lighting fast network speeds, definitely would recommend for first time android users."

It is very lightweight, is durable (to a point, don't drop it directly on the screen, matter of fact, no matter the phone, protect it!) And is very fast! If in the market for a device that has been out for a little while, but can hold more than it's own in the features department, this phone is it!"

Also, I did have slight garbled call issues early on but Jelly Bean seems to have erased that. With that said, it is a workhorse of a fone. Does it all, does it blazingly fast, and executes excellently on all operational counts. With the seamless Google/Android updates, this fone absolutely performs better today than when I purchased it, and it out-performed anything on the market then. It is also surprisingly rugged in its manufacture. I use my fone extensively & over a wide range of programs & applications; I will buy another Samsung next time around."

One of the best
PostedOctober 18, 2012
PostedOctober 18, 2012
"I purchased this device when it released (almost a year ago) and I'm still incredibly pleased with this product. The newly released Jellybean OS made available has increased its performance and usability to a much more fluid pace. Given that it's a dual core processor and lacks 1 extra gig of ram compared to the SGSIII, this can still keep up in terms of speediness/responsiveness.
The design of this product is still my favorite. As it doesn't leave much to the imagination other than the amazing colors offered through its screen. That's generally how I like my devices. No marketing logos... just screen.
Also I'd like to note that I've dropped this phone a few times and it has still not given up on me. It may be made out of a plastic material. However it is quite durable."

"I love this device because it doesn't have touchwiz on it and is quick to have the latest updates. It would have been great if the battery would have been larger than even the extended battery but just as thin, you could make the screen larger too, and maybe the quad core processor with lte"

"The Nexus has been a top phone on the Android scene for a long time and it doesn't appear that the technology offered on this device will become outpaced anytime soon. Great display, NFC, Jelly Bean OS, and more! Battery life is my only qualm with this device."

"i now own both the CDMA and GSM variant of the Galaxy Nexus. If you have never owned a Nexus device, you have never truly experienced Android. The Nexus series use vanilla Android (AOSP) and not a polluted version of Android, so you get a pure android xeperience without the buggy bloatware that manufacturers love to put in. The Galaxy Nexus has been my favorite device to this date. So good that when I switched from ATT to VZW, I opted to once again go with the GNEX over other popular choices (S3). Reason being, I have always had Nexus devices, and will continue to do so as long as Samsung continues to make them. Great phone, great experience, the CDMA variant does seem to have less battery life (LTE). but, you learn to deal with it."

"The Galaxy Nexus is a very complete, fast and beautiful phone. With the new Jelly Bean upgrade smooth just runs even smoother. The beautiful 4.65" screen is big enough for everything, but not too big. The response of the phone is instant, along with the almost 0 shutter speed of the camera this phone all around is excellent and well rounded. The only con I have about the phone is the fact it does not have a Micro SD card slot, other than that it is excellent."

"This is, by far, the best phone I've ever had. Yes the GSIII is out and it has better features. But my Nexus is still competing with phones that are barely coming out. The recent Jelly Bean update is nothing to this beast, it runs buttery smooth. There are two things that I would change however, the speaker isn't loud enough and when I'm playing games, I sometimes cover it with my fingers. And the camera could have also had higher MP's. Otherwise, this is a great phone."

"great phone especially since it now has 4.1(jelly bean). If looking for anything not iPhone I recommend this phone. there are only two issues that I have with this phone, which are the lone speaker that is in this phone is way to low in volume if you are around any source of outside noise. You will have a hard time hearing this phone when people are simply talking at low volume. My other discrepancy is the battery cover it is cheap and flimsy plastic, and the over hangs that make the cover click into place will bend if you're not careful. The phone is blistering fast and snappy in it's processing speed, and the 4G internet speed is equally so. Resolution and color the screen can put out is nothing short of spectacular. Music output is top-notch greated you got a set of decent headphones. Plenty of apps that are compatible for this phone as well. Overall great phone I cannot wait for the next model for Verizon!"
"Really love this phone. Had it since launch day, and still no problems here!"
Pros: screen - hd 720p, google updates

The fact that this is a Nexus device and gets all of the attention from Google and the development community makes this phones value and usefulness go through the roof. The only complaint that I have is that the radios do not always appear to get a very strong signal."

"I've enjoyed the versatility and seemingly limitless options that my Samsung Galaxy Nexus provides-- it has all the tools for business productivity and for staying in contact. I do regret a bit of battery life-- but as it's "doing so much" it's hard not to forget that the batteries are also working hard as well. It would make me consider Samsung for my next smartphone/iphone competitor, as I'll probably upgrade to the next generation in a year or two."
