Last
night one of the most highly anticipated phone of the year was
finally on show for the world to see. Google's flag ship Android
phone, The Nexus Prime. This will take over the Nexus S as the phone
to take Google and their Android OS into the next generation.
As
you can imagine this phone needs to compete specs wise with the newly
released iPhone 4S and well. It completely blows the iPhone 4S out of
the water, the Nexus Prime is currently the most powerful phone on
the market right now with its 1.2 GHz dual core processor and its 1GB
of ram crammed into a body thats is under 9mm thin, making this one
sleek sexy beast of a phone.
As
exciting as the hardware specs is that is nothing compared to the
main feature of this phone. As this is a Nexus phone that can only
mean one thing, the release of the brand new Android OS, Android 4.0
code named Ice Cream Sandwich. This will be the best Android OS so
far as one of the biggest features of it is it finally unifies
smartphones and tablets, this means it will bring the interface of
Android 3.0 Honeycomb to Android smart phones. Android phone users
will get the updated app launcher, holographic user interface,
interactive and new homescreen widgets plus the multi-tasking panel.

To
some people the specs might not be quite what they were expecting as
rumours were that the Nexus Prime will contain a 1.5 GHz dual core
processor and an 8 megapixel main camera. This wont bother many Nexus
fans, the 1.2 GHz A9 processor is still the fastest on the market and
will be for some time.
As for the 5 megapixel camera you would think that the iPhone 4S's 8 MP camera would be better, but as it goes the SUPER AMOLED HD 720p screen on the Nexus (which is the highest resolution screen out there providing the brightest most crisp images) makes up for the 5 megapixels which for a phone is plenty good enough anyway. If you wanted to take high quality pictures regularly you would use a camera.
Its worth noting that you wont see the different between the iPhone's and the Nexus's picture quality as Facebook only supports 720px quality pictures so the Nexus's camera will be more than enough.

Thats
it for now, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more in depth look
at Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
