The best smartphone to roll in town
18.05.12
Truth be told, when Google released the Galaxy Nexus, I wasn't 100 per cent sure I would be getting "the best smartphone" ever made, because of other contenders like the Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Note, or even the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
Getting the right size on a smartphone is tricky. Surely, anything smaller than a four-inch is unacceptable now, especially for those who have been using phones that particular size. If you try going back to a 3.5-inch or a 3.7-inch, it's like... you're Tom Cruise and upon hearing your mission read to you from a payphone, it sounds ridiculous.
Sure iPhone users will argue this, but I'm pretty sure 90 per cent of Apple users have not spent at least a month with a beautiful big screen.
Samsung, who manufacturers the Galaxy Nexus, has the screen at 4.65-inches. I'm not saying this is going to be the perfect size, but a market filled with four inch, 4.3-inch phones, HTC's new line of 4.7-inch, and the Note's 5.3-inch, this Nexus screen feels like its right in the middle.
