It's powered by a dual-core 1.2 GHz processor that speeds up your web browsing, gaming, and multitasking.</p> <p>The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Mobile Broadband network provides speeds up to 10 times faster than Verizon Wireless' 3G network. With 4G LTE, you'll enjoy simultaneous voice and data capabilities, allowing you to check e-mail, browse the web, download an app, and check directions on Google Maps while on a call. You can expect fast download speeds of 5 to 12 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of 2 to 5 Mbps in 4G LTE mobile broadband coverage areas (learn more about 4G below).</p> <p>You can share your high-speed 4G LTE connectivity with multiple devices--laptop, another phone, MP3 player, and more--via Wi-Fi using the built-in Mobile Hotspot functionality (additional service charge applicable). And the Galaxy Nexus is outfitted with ultra-fast Wireless-N Wi-Fi networking as well as next-generation Bluetooth 3.0 connectivity.</p> <p>The new Android Beam feature (using NFC connectivity) allows you to quickly share Web pages, apps, and YouTube videos with friends by simply tapping compatible phones together. You'll also enjoy easy access to a full complement of Google mobile services, including Gmail, Google Maps 5.0 with 3D maps, syncing with Google Calendar, a redesigned Google＋ app, and access to more than 300,000 apps in the Android Market.</p> <p>Other features include a virtual onscreen QWERTY keyboard with enhanced auto-correction and touch recognition for a more natural feel, 32 GB of internal memory, 1 GB of RAM, and up to 12 hours of talk time.</p> <h2>Advanced Photography and Video Recording</h2> <p>The Galaxy Nexus has a full-featured 5-megepixel camera with automatic focus, top-notch low-light performance, and zero shutter lag. Open it right from your lock screen, and fire off a photo instantly. You can also take beautiful panorama pictures--just point and touch the shutter and pan your phone from one side to another. Android immediately stitches together an expansive panorama photo, ready to share.</p> <p>A full-featured photo editor lets you add filters and effects, adjust color, straighten, reduce red eye, crop, rotate, flip, and even doodle on your favorite photos--right after you take them. Your edits are saved as a copy, so you can always get to the original.</p> <p>Your photos can upload themselves with Instant Upload, which makes it much easier to share them with family and friends. If you've signed up for Google+, you can enable Instant Upload and share photos with anyone you choose.</p> <p>Shoot video in Full HD 1080p, and snap still shots while you're at it. Continuous focus, real-time zoom, and time-lapse mode give you the power to shoot stunning videos. When your footage is ready, create your own movie with Movie Studio and upload it to YouTube. When you shoot videos, you can choose from a number of silly faces and other fun effects. Galaxy Nexus is smart enough to recognize individual facial features--give your friends big eyes, squeeze heads, make noses bigger. Or change the scenery with background replacement.</p> <h2>Vital Statistics</h2> <p>The Galaxy Nexus by Samsung weighs 5.29 ounces and measures 5.33 x 2.67 x 0.37 inches. Its 1850 mAh lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 12 hours of talk time and up to 150 hours (6.25 days) of standby time. It runs on the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network, as well as EV-DO, Rev A 3G and CDMA 800/1900 frequencies where 4G LTE is not available.</p> <p><strong>What's in the Box</strong><br /> Galaxy Nexus by Samsung handset, rechargeable battery, wall/USB charger, stereo headset, quick start guide</p> <br />  <hr /> <br />  <table align="right" cellpadding="10" width="200"> <tbody> <tr> <td><img align="top" border="0" height="345" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/samsung-galaxynexus-veriz-homescreen-sm.jpg" width="200" /><br /><br /><small><em><strong>Organize your home screen with folders.</strong></em></small></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2>Android Ice Cream Sandwich Operating System</h2> <p>The Galaxy Nexus runs the Android 4.0 operating system (dubbed Ice Cream Sandwich), which adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing while improving on the best Android features: easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and more.</p> <p>The new Ice Cream Sandwich interface features an onscreen navigation bar that replaces the hardware buttons for Back, Home, and Menu found with older Android-powered phones. And with Google+ integration, you can video chat with groups of up to 9 friends as well as easily upload and share photos and videos. Other features include:</p> <table align="left" cellpadding="10" width="200"> <tbody> <tr> <td align="center"><img alt="Android IceCreamSanwich" height="112" src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/wireless-feat-android-logo-icecreamsandwich-sm.jpg" width="159" /></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <strong>Face Unlock</strong><br /> <p>You can now unlock your phone with just your face using the Face Unlock option. It takes advantage of the front-facing camera and state-of-the-art facial recognition technology to register a face during setup and then to recognize it again when unlocking the device. Just hold your phone in front of your face to unlock (or use a backup PIN).</p> <p>And the lock screen now lets you do more without unlocking. From the slide lock screen, you can jump directly to the camera for a picture or pull down the notifications window to check for messages. When listening to music, you can even manage music tracks and see album art.</p> <strong>Home Screen Folders</strong><br /> <p>Quickly access related apps right from the home screen by organizing apps and shortcuts into folders--just drag one app onto another to create a folder.</p> <strong>Multitasking</strong><br /> <p>Multitasking is even easier and more visual in Android 4.0. The Recent Apps button lets you jump instantly from one task to another using the list in the System Bar. The list pops up to show thumbnail images of apps used recently--tapping a thumbnail switches to the app.</p> <strong>Voice Input</strong><br /> <p>The new voice engine in Android 4.0 lets you dictate the text you want, for as long as you want, using the language you want. You can speak continuously for a prolonged time, even pausing for intervals if needed, and dictate punctuation to create correct sentences. As the voice input engine enters text, it underlines possible dictation errors in gray. After dictating, you can tap the underlined words to quickly replace them from a list of suggestions.</p> <br />  <hr /> <br /> <!--COMMENT: Service Section ========================== --> <h2><a name="verizon4glte">Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Network</h2> <p>The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network allows you to download photos, apps, and games in seconds and entire movies in minutes.

It also provides easy access to both personal and corporate e-mail, calendars, and contacts supported by Exchange Server and Gmail.
