The Galaxy Nexus will have a big 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED Screen (with a wow-inducing 1280 x 720 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio), a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor and capability for both 4G LTE and 3G HSPA+, depending upon availability and location; it’ll also be packing 1GB RAM, a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera with LED flash, a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera ,1080p video recording and NFC capability for mobile payments and “bump” sharing with other phones. It will also be rocking that curved glass design of the Samsung Nexus S; unlike the Nexus S, the Galaxy Nexus will not have any physical hardware buttons, instead opting for touch buttons on the display screen.
The Galaxy Nexus will be available starting in November in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
