Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be the device, which will be powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and is expected to be officially launched on 8th of December 2011. It would be really exciting to see what actually does Android 4.0 ICS has to offer to the consumers.

It is expected that Android 2.3 Gingerbread update is rolled out before the launch of much awaited and anticipated Smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Nexus (powered by Android 4.0 ICS). Samsung is trying very hard to make its consumers happy and it will surely succeed. The company has never let down its consumers in any way, be it with high end Smartphones or fully feature budget phones.
