Remember yesteryear as soon as I proclaimed the just-announced Motorola Droid RAZR to top constantly smart phone, come again? The iPhone 4S ought to take part in been? ("iPhone, iSchmone: Is Moto's Droid RAZR top Phone?")
Well, disregard with the aim of. The Motorola Droid RAZR was so October 18th, 2011.
Survive night featuring in sound the horn Kong (Hong Kong?), Samsung unveiled the earliest smart phone to run the Google machine 4.0 operating procedure, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, maintaining the dentist-defying machine monikers.
This Galaxy Nexus has specs like to yesterday's old news Droid RAZR with single large difference: The Nexus sports a 4.65-inch Super AMOLED screen with a declaration of 1280 x 720 pixels, in relation to a third denser than its competitors and a long time ago again upping the smart phone screen size/resolution ante.
Otherwise, Samsung behold the Nexus specs highlights:

But it's not these specs with the aim of arguably pushes the Nexus a smidge elapsed the Droid RAZR. It's machine 4.0
What's featuring in the Sandwich?
Machine 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, having the status of implemented on the Nexus, includes four in mint condition skin texture:
Software navigation buttons, a earliest on behalf of machine smartphones. According to the press liberate, "the lock screen, residence screen, phone app, and everything featuring in involving has been rethought and redesigned…"

Nexus is due to arrive on these shores featuring in November, so I conjecture I'll unearth unfashionable in that case.
