hey Tiele dears it's Marquez from the mkbhd channel and welcome to a brief overview / preview video of the ice cream sandwich and Galaxy Nexus announcement that just happened today huge thanks to jonathan for letting me do this guest video by the way really appreciated super awesome now I don't know how Google packed so much awesome into today but they did they really did so I'm just going to get right into it starting with the hardware they introduced the Galaxy Nexus which is the hardware of the device it's going to have a 4.6 5-inch 720p Super AMOLED HD display it's going to be running a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor has a gig of ram and will be 8.9 4 millimeters thin this also will have LTE in some versions and this is the first of the phones that are running android 4.4 ice cream sandwich ICS as will call it is completely badass they totally overhauled the UI and don't worry the screen is big because it has the home back and multitasking buttons on the bottom instead of actual hardware buttons on the phone so that's why you might think four point six five inches is a little bit big for the screen because their software buttons there the bezel is also going to be really thin so basically you're looking at just the screen Gmail YouTube Maps music google+ and the gallery have all been updated for ice cream sandwich boom they're all going to have that handy little action bar at the bottom that all the honeycomb apps had before they're going to be at the bottom of the screen instead of the stop like they were on tablets there's also a handy-dandy data usage monitor and offline gmail search for up to 30 days into the past yes the new camera though holy crap seriously it is grossly fast zero we're talking zero shutter lag here you tap the screen and there's immediately a photo taken you could probably cap cap cap cap cap and just tap tap take photos just like that it's really really fast you can also take panoramic shots with a built-in panorama mode by swinging the camera around taking a really wide photo it also integrates with google plus so you can instantly upload those photos and share them if you want and there's a built-in photo editor in the gallery so if you've taken a photo and it's not really aligned properly you can align it properly there's some hipster color effects if you really like to go that way and then there's the 1080p movie recording mode you can actually snapshots during the video recording to you don't know how those are going to look but they're definitely a handy feature in case there's some crazy moment going on during the video that you want to capture Ice Cream Sandwich also has this new contacts app that they call a people app unless you see who you're connected to the most and lets you connect with them different ways and it also has these really nice high resolution photos that it brings down from api's like Facebook or Google+ Google beam is this really new way of sharing you can share apps you can share locations you can share movie times you sure all kinds of things with Google beam with near field communications or NFC you can just tap the phones together and it's immediately transfer to the other phone this only works with phones with NFC but so far that list is kind of small hopefully it will be getting bigger in the future there's a new browser I wouldn't say totally new but it's kind of sick because you can have up to 16 tabs and there's just this pretty cool feature where you can sync bookmarks with your chrome on your desktop with chrome on your ice cream sandwich device and there's also one more feature where you can enable the desktop version of a website finally I don't know why it took Google so long to implement that the browser we can look at the desktop version of a site natively just by tapping two buttons and you're automatically there there's also a face recognition unlock feature so someone else just looks at your phone it won't unlock for them but you have this enabled and it'll unlock it with your face now carriers of the Galaxy Nexus aren't really known yet although we do know there's going to be a version with LTE so that's pretty nice I'm assuming that's the verizon version and the pricing of the Galaxy Nexus we also don't really know that although we know there's going to be a 16 gig and a 32 gig version and last but not least the availability of this flagship Google device is just November for now but you know hopefully they give us a date soon other than that that's basically it's a pretty awesome new phone it's a giant screen and it will be pretty recognizable because it is so thin and it just has the samsung form factor to it but I'm looking forward to it there will definitely be a review of it when it goes live on my channel if you want to check out my videos the mkbhd channel but that is basically it thanks for watching and hopefully see you guys around face you
