Galaxy Nexus In-Depth Browser Review (Android ICS)

2011-12-15
what's up guys is Davey air from film buff calm and today I'm doing an in-depth review of the browser in Ice Cream Sandwich and therefore the Galaxy Nexus so I'll go ahead and open up the browser and you can see at the very top you have your address bar and you have to sort of button right here to look at your tabs you can flick one off to close it you can have up to 16 tabs on this browser and within this page you have our this window you have the option to go to your bookmarks so you go to all your bookmarks from there and back out of that if you press this little button right here with the three dots you'll be given some options and then of course you go to the settings so you can refresh the page forward save the bookmark share and find a pic find what's on the page request a desktop site and save for offline reading so if you're going to be in an area with a little to no reception and you're reading a long article you could save it for later go ahead and jump into the settings and show you the ins and outs so under general you can just set your homepage and adjust your autofill settings under accessibility you could change the text scaling so you can make it no larger like that or smaller this really depends on what you want you could also change the zoom one double tap minimum font size and also invert the rendering off that makes it easier for you to see under privacy and security you could do the usual you know clearing of the history the cache cookies location and passwords under advanced you have the ability to set your search engine so you can use yahoo or bing nice to see google letting you switch the search engine you could select to open up tabs in the background when you open a new tab javascript web site settings blocking pop-ups and things like that and then under bandwidth management you could choose whether or not images are loaded up so if you just are interested in the text if you're you know want to read an article on the new york times you could you know skip the images all together and that saves you a bit of bandwidth if you want to conserve that and last but not least you have labs and you have the option to browse and full screen and enable quick controls so you I'll show you a quick controls it's actually pretty cool what it lets you do is it lets you drag your finger from the right in the middle of the screen and you get this little pop-up come up and off you can press this to go to settings press this to go to your address bar and you could go if of course over here to go to your tabs but when you do this you're not going to have your normal sound scrolling up as much as I can you know I can have your address bar here and don't lay out so if you do the quick controls you're given up that so it might take a while to get adjusted to but honestly it looks like it's actually more efficient so I may end up just using the quick controls I'll go ahead and load up a web page just so you guys can see how it renders I'll load up let's say NFL com and it's going to take me to the mobile site first so I'm going to scroll down to the bottom hit full website and just keep you guys an idea of how fast this renders on the Galaxy Nexus and how it displays so it's done loading and I see you have the full website and with this high resolution screen this makes it really nice because you could actually you know make out the text not that you'd read it at that size but you can make it out the pinch resume is not really choppy but it's not as smooth as I would like to see it I've seen you know phones like the galaxy s2 the multi-touch is a lot smoother but I'm sure they'll work that out in a update coming up but that's pretty much it that's the in-depth review of the browser in Ice Cream Sandwich thank you for watching the video and don't forget to visit fumble calm for more cell phone news reviews and how to thank you
