Samsung I9250 Review: Galaxy Nexus Android Unlocked Smartphone
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesn’t disappoint with its large 4.6-inch touch display, which features bright, sharp, vivid colors. The menus and apps are easy to navigate and the controls quite intuitive. We appreciated being able to adjust the text size and font as you’re browsing the web, and you can even surf the net “incognito” without it showing up in your history. The overall design is pleasing; because of the large screen, the phone is quite long, but it’s slim and contoured to fit in the hand comfortably. The 5 MP camera feature enough editing tools to keep you busy—both standard tools and fun ones like enlarging your subject’s nose, eyes, or mouth. This smartphone, starting at $666, has a sharp, clever design and plenty of features to keep you occupied.
