Samsung Galaxy Nexus pricing and launch date are revealed

KOREAN PHONE MAKER Samsung will launch its Galaxy Nexus smartphone in early November, but the UK will not see the 32GB model.

According to the Clove blog, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus handset will be priced at £514.80. However, it will be a blow that the 32GB version isn't coming to the UK, especially since the device doesn't have a microSD slot.

Meanwhile, the Iphone 4S comes in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models, so it might end up trumping Samsung's Galaxy Nexus for those who want more storage.

Google launched Samsung's Galaxy Nexus smartphone running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich this morning.

The Galaxy Nexus handset has a 4.65in touchscreen 'contour display', meaning that it has a gentle curve, and a dual-core 1.2GHz processor.

It has a higher resolution screen than its predecessor, the Nexus S, and is now 4.65in instead of 4in and has a mouth-watering 720x1280 resolution. This is up from 480x800 and has a high pixel density of 316dpi.

The phone is slimmer at 8.94mm compared to the 10.88mm of the Nexus S, while the camera remains at 5MP. It can now record video in HD 1080p and can take a panoramic shot with one movement of the phone. µ
