a lot of people seem to think that the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android phone and that if it's not technically the best thing out there then they just shouldn't buy it so to those guys well I'll be honest while it might be outclassed just ever so slightly by a few other handsets out there you guys have to remember this this is a nexus this is the only stock Android 4.0 device this is the pure Google experience this is the precision of everything that Android is supposed to be hey how's it going guys this is marques from the mkbhd channel and welcome to our first look at the Samsung Galaxy Nexus so if you're ready for this and I know I am let's go ahead and get started with this go ahead and give this video a thumbs up or go ahead and dive right in basically there's no better place to start on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus than the display because it has everything going for it in its favor first of all it is an O LED display and that means that colors as you can see really pop and the blacks are pitch black and you can hardly tell them apart from the bezel so it's really cool that it's a four point six five inch display and a top that all off it doesn't hurt that it's a 1280 by 720 HD display so watching videos and content on this display looks absolutely ridiculously good I'm gonna go ahead and say it this is in the best mobile display I've ever used hands-down the best mobile phone and it's easy to tell here that the phone is response to the cell with that 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor and a gig of ram but you know what's it like to use the phone what is it like to own a Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus the Galaxy Nexus is fast and I'm not just saying that because I came from a two-year-old og droid or because I want you guys to believe it's fast it's actually really fast opening and closing apps animations the hardware acceleration it's all noticeably faster than I'm used to and I have tested other phones before now something else equally awesome but also sometimes underappreciated about this phone is the Android 4.0 keyboard while you can get that on other phones cuz it's free in the Android Market having at four point six side of the screen makes a really really fast type and I guarantee you in my full Galaxy Nexus review I'll show you speech to text which is absolutely phenomenal it worked nearly flawlessly every time but another neat way to show off the screen clarity of the Galaxy Nexus is by turning it sideways while watching a youtube video first time I turned to landscape while watching YouTube my jaw dropped and I was in tears it was unbelievable watching 720p videos you might even want to watch this video in 720p on your phone see how good it looks it looks amazing on the Galaxy Nexus we've heard of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus you've probably heard of this face unlock which is facial recognition to unlock your phone it's in the security settings register is your face and then you can unlock it with your face at any time I found that while it's nice that it works I probably won't be using this as the swipe gesture to unlock the screen is just much more fast now there's something about this phone that's gotten mixed reactions and that's the camera now there's something awesomely awesome and something pitiful about this phone's camera as you can see instant shutter is awesome and the software everything about the software is great taking panorama photos is awesome but something that's kind of pitiful is the sensor it's only a 5 megapixel sensor and while I do appreciate that it takes decent photos at instant speed the camera photos doesn't look that great the video is much more impressive and that'll be covered in the full review but other than that you know there are a lot of beautiful subtle things that are just nice about this phone like the notification light here and the placement of the headphone jack and I know I didn't really cover everything today and I didn't really cover everything realistic like battery life and well I don't know calling people on this phone but trust me it does that very well but seriously I'll cover a lot of these things in my full review in a full a couple weeks when I really get to know everything about this one either way thanks for liking this video and thanks for watching it and I'll talk to you guys in the next one peace
