Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime Review
Online, November 21, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime is the first smart phone that has Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Android has made a number of changes that makes the new operating system easier to use, sleeker to look at and organizing simpler. Before we get into the operating system, let's look at body of the phone. The Nexus Prime is definitely a large phone. Measuring 5.33 by 2.67 by 0.35 inches, it's not really a pocket friendly phone. The display is 4.65 inches, one of the biggest screens on the market. Only 4 inches of the display is useable on the home screens, as .65 inches is taken up by a shortcuts menu running along the bottom of the display. The 1280x720 pixel resolution Super AMOLED display looks absolutely breathtaking. Incredibly vivid, realistic graphics and deep colors, you won't be disappointed when watching movies, tv shows, browsing the web, editing documents or composing emails.
The static control buttons along the bottom of the display are now a home button, back button and a button that opens the list of recently viewed pages. Android has removed the search button. All of these buttons rotate with the screen, so no matter what mode you're in you have those easily available. There is no user interface over the ICS operating system, so you have the pure Android experience and it's completely customizable. There's also a Developers Option, which gives you access to CPU usage, background process limits and activating a visual feedback. The Nexus Prime has a 5 megapixel camera and ICS has added a number of features to the camera, making it easier to use. There is literally no shutter lag, so don't worry about missing anything. It also has Bluetooth, GPS, calendar syncing, Wi-Fi, download and file management, PC syncing, multimedia player, and Google services. The Galaxy Nexus has 32GB of internal storage, however, it does not have an expandable card slot.
We recommend keeping the battery charged with either a reliable charger or an external battery pack. No more running out of power! Ideal for long flights, outdoor activities and serious road trips, the high capacity Naztech n301is a compact lithium polymer power source for charging your Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime USB input device. It's small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, yet provides 1800 mAH of power - that is power up to 3 times the standard battery! What completes this device is the built-in flashlight to find your way around the dark and a convenient built in battery indicator that lets you know how much battery power is left. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime n301 battery pack can be recharged from any computer USB port or, when used with the optional Naztech n300, a standard wall power outlet in addition to any standard vehicle adapter. Great for business trips, vacations or long drives. Just simply connect and charge! You'll never be caught powerless again.
We also recommend having a Bluetooth headphone or speakerphone, especially if you plan on using the phone in the car. Having a car mount is also a valuable accessory. The HM1700 Bluetooth mono headset packs a broad set of high-end features while earning the approval of budget-conscious consumers. More than just a Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime headset for making calls, the versatile HM1700 provides A2DP support for mono music and media streaming from an external device like an MP3 player to its earpiece. The HM1700 stays true to Samsung's commitment to crystal-clear calls and ease of use. Active pairing enables simple and automatic initial pairing to a Bluetooth handset. Multipoint technology allows pairing with two Bluetooth-enabled handsets at the same time. The headset even keeps you informed of its operating status with simple voice prompts. Add to that a multi-colored LED battery-level indicator and a dedicated on/off switch, and you always know your HM1700 is powered up to go the distance.
