Recently, Goggle announced released Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich, unifying what were separate variants of the OS for smart phones, tablets and digital TVs.


The press conference was held in Hong Kong, and Samsung released the first smart phone with Galaxy Nexus employed. The debut with a Samsung device gives credence to Google’s promise to continue to cooperate with all Android partners in the wake of its $12.5 billion bid to buy Motorola Mobility.

A year ago, Google announced that it planed to bring together the separate phone, tablet and TV versions of Android. The new version is the first with built-in support for NFC (near-field communications). It offers the underpinnings for Google Wallet, an electronic payment service.

Android 4.0 supports many enhancements, including an improved browser that can synch bookmarks with Google Chrome, support for Google+ social networking, enhanced mail and calendar programs and Face Unlock, a face-recognition feature used for unlocking a handset.

The Samsung Galaxy Nexus uses LTE and HSPA+ networks and sports a 4.65-inch AMOLED display supporting 1280×720 pixel resolution, including 720-progressive video. It uses an unnamed 1.2 GHz dual-core processor with 1 Gbyte RAM and 16 GBytes flash.
