Last year, Bell managed to launch the Samsung Galaxy Nexus a month ahead of its fellow mobile networks. The world’s first Android Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone became an instant hit that wooed your friendly Canadian folks.
But what about those that doesn’t want to flaunt their handsets along with the Bell logo? Will they be able to get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus at any other mobile network? Well, we’re quite glad that you asked. That’s because the handset will soon be heading to Rogers, TELUS and Fido. We know you’re excited. So you’d better mark your calendar and save some time off for January 10th.
On that day, Rogers and Fido will be launching the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. The phone will also be coming to TELUS but we are yet to know the exact date of launch. The phone’s price wasn’t revealed either. Even so, there’s a great possibility that its price will be somewhat similar to Bell’s. Speaking of which, the 4.65 inch smartphone is currently being offered by Bell for a starting price of $159.99. That, of course, will require you to avail the Canadian carrier’s three year network contract. If ever you plan to pay outright, you can get the Samsung Galaxy Nexus with Android Ice Cream Sandwich for a very decent price of $649.99.
Specs wise, the Galaxy Nexus can take pride of its Super AMOLED HD capacitive touch screen display with 720 x 1280 pixels of full screen resolution. The smartphone runs on a 1.2GHz Dual Core Cortex A9 Processor and is equipped with 1GB of RAM. It looks very classy in its buttonless form factor and you can also take a lot of high quality snap shots using its built-in 5 mega pixels rear-facing camera with auto focus, LED flash, geo-tagging and face detection. Meanwhile, new features such as Google+ Hangouts and Google Beam can let you make the most out of your treasured conversations.
