johnnj2003's review of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE)
original version, submitted Dec 16, 2012, 2:17 PM:
Great phone, horrible battery
I had my Verizon GNex for 2 month.
I had the standard battery and I had an extended battery
(Hyperion 3800mAh) and with the extended it just about lasted all day.
I like everything else about the phone, pure android was awesome, the screen was sharp.
But I cannot get over the simply horrible battery life.
Some in quality control had their eyes closed when testing this phone.
I wanted to like the phone but due mostly to the battery life I want to punch someone at Samsung in the face.
With the standard battery, it lasts about 4 hours. maybe 6 hours if you dont touch the phone.
PRO - pure android
- Sharp screen detail
- nice shape and design , feels great in hand
- just the right size.
- snappy OS response
CON - Battery life
- Phone gets VERY hot,
battery must be pulled to
stop it from heating up
- you can see the vertical lines in
the OLED screen
