Standard battery: Li-Ion 1750 mAh
It's a phone that any carrier would be proud to offer, from the HD screen and 1.2GHz dual-core processor to the 1080p HD video capture and playback, to the barometer and NFC chip embedded within.
Screen
It starts with a huge 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display (1280 x 720 pixel resolution.) Samsung makes some of the best screens on the market, with colors that pop, and a way of reproducing light that uses no power on black. That's better for battery life and also tends to improve contrast.
Although there is HD resolution, the screen size verges on the enormous, so there's a chance that pixel density may not be the absolute highest around, nor the absolute sharpest or clearest, but do expect some impressive screen quality.
Body and design
Samsung toed pretty close to the Nexus S party line with the phone's design. It hosts those familiar rounded edges, dark color, and slightly curved face that's intended to hug your cheek when you hold the phone to your ear. This time though, the Galaxy Nexus has no buttons on its face, and comes with a "hyperskin" substance (we'll dig into this as we learn more.)
While not as skeletal as the Droid Razr, the Galaxy Nexus is rakishly thin in its own right, just 0.35-inch thick (compared with the Droid Razr's 0.28-inch width). The contoured edges should help keep the Galaxy Nexus from feeling too sharp and flat in the hand. It weighs 4.8 ounces.
Cameras
Camera quality is becoming ever more advanced on smartphones, and that leaves us scratching our heads a bit. The 1.3-megapixel, front-facing camera is something we'd expect on a Google flagship phone, but the 5-megapixel, rear-facing camera isn't exactly a show of force.
Now, it's true that the number of megapixels can only take you so far, and the camera's light sensor and software processing also plays a hand. However, Samsung already has phones with great 8-megapixel cameras on the market--the entire Galaxy S II lineup--so this 5-megapixel camera feels like a backtrack. Still, Android 4.0's new camera software could make up for it, and could even surpass the 8-megapixel camera in image quality and photographic satisfaction, but this is a deep hands-on test for another day. Samsung also boasts that there's no shutter lag.
Speed, 4G, and other specs
If you feel the need for speed, the Galaxy Nexus promises to deliver as all good premium phones should. It's got a 1.2GHz dual-core processor (not the absolute top-of-the-line, but it's right up there) and will have support for both HSPA+ and LTE, depending on the market. Since Samsung only announced one carrier (Japan's NTT DoCoMo), we're still not sure if we're looking at Verizon's ultrafast 4G LTE, T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 network, or anything in between.
It sounds like the Galaxy Nexus will come with either 16GB or 32GB internal memory, globally, a spec that indicates there's no external SD card slot for adding more memory of your own. For most people, that should be plenty, though we'd prefer to see the 32GB version if there's only one choice.
As with the Galaxy S, the Galaxy Nexus also has support for NFC, which will let you use it to tap to pay for items at participating terminals. Interestingly, there's also a barometer on board, as with many more devices today. Bluetooth 3.0 handles your connection needs. It's just too bad that Samsung didn't manage to incorporate Bluetooth 4.0 like Apple did with the iPhone 4S.
You'll find a 1750mAh battery taking care of your power needs; it will deliver at least a day of life.
