The Google Galaxy Nexus was revealed just over a week ago, and is set to be the first Android smartphone to run Ice Cream Sandwich – the latest version of the OS.

It’s packed with high-end features, including one of the best screens to hit the market so far. The Super AMOLED display on the Nexus measures in at a whopping 4.65 inches, and features a resolution of 1280×720 pixels – higher than any other smartphone.

You’ll also find more than enough performance to power the new operating system, with a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and 4G connectivity for fast web browsing and downloads.

The Galaxy Nexus is set to hit the shops on November 17th, and has already popped up on Amazon UK. The price? £549.99 SIM free.
