A hands-on video revealed that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is using Android 4.0.1, reportedly faster than the Galaxy S2.
Yet another product of the demo device in a New York City Samsung store, Booredatwork.com posted a new video hands on of the brand new, and still not available Samsung Galaxy Nexus running on the Verizon Wireless 4G Long Term Evolution network. See the video below this article.
According to the site, the new Galaxy Nexus Verizon is pre-installed with Android 4.0.1 adding that it is noticeably faster compared to the Samsung Galaxy S II (Epic 4G Touch, Sprint variant) running Android Gingerbread with TouchWiz user interface. Apparently, Verizon has decided to skip the Galaxy S2 in favor of the new Galaxy Nexus. The best decision ever?
It is also worth noting that Android 4.0.1 is reportedly not the “final” build that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will use due to the highly publicized volume bug. According to Engadget, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus will use Android 4.1 as its pre-installed operating system.
The new hands-on video also confirmed that the Galaxy Nexus is an LTE monster. The speed test shows that downloads peaked at over 14Mbps while upload speeds climbed above 8 to 9Mbps. Yum. I should also mention that the Galaxy Nexus includes a feature that the user can take advantage of to manage network data usage, so it looks like the Android 4.0 plus LTE will mix very well.
Droid Life is also reporting something about the Galaxy Nexus LTE speed on Monday, and the video posted by the Android-centric blog shows that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus can deliver up to 19Mbps down and at least 2Mbps upload. The site also included a picture which confirmed that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is thicker than the HSPA+ variant.
New reports say Verizon Wireless is expected to announce the release date of the Galaxy Nexus this week.
Update: The Galaxy Nexus was connected via WiFi when the speed test app was used.
