Consensus
The Galaxy Nexus offers pure Ice Cream Sandwich wrapped in good-looking hardware. While it is a great choice for an Android smartphone, it is not as big of a leap forward as expected and is even outmatched by the Galaxy S II in many ways.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus is a big step forward for Android, but it's not the giant leap you may have been expecting. Impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy — and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device....Go To Full Review

The Galaxy Nexus is the best Android phone ever made. It's one of the best smartphones ever made, and with a couple of minor tweaks (particularly to the camera), it could be the best smartphone ever produced. ...Go To Full Review

But unless you're a massive 'Pure Google' fan, we'd suggest your call St Nick up on Boxing Day, ask if he had the receipt still, point out you'd been exceptionally good this year, then go swap it for a Galaxy S2 - or wait to see what the rest of the manufacturers manage when their creative bods get cracking with Ice Cream Sandwich....Go To Full Review

The Galaxy Nexus isn't the most powerful Android phone around. It's not the most capable, either. But if you're after a "pure" Android experience, unsullied by the likes of Samsung's TouchWiz or HTC's Sense interfaces, then the Galaxy Nexus is a solid choice....Go To Full Review

While it lacks the refined aesthetics of the iPhone 4S, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus impresses with a 4.65-inch HD screen and the slick new Android 4.0 operating system.
