It has an HD(720p)Super AMOLEDdisplay with curved glass, an improved camera system, and Google's new version of its Android operating system, version 4.0, codenamed Ice Cream Sandwich. The name is the result of co-brandingbetween the Samsung Galaxy and Google Nexus brands of Android smartphones.

Before the official announcement, it was also referred to as the Google "Nexus Prime" among Android enthusiasts and the media. There had been repeated leaks containing almost accurate details about this device. The phone was officially announced on October 19, 2011 in Hong Kong, revealing the official name as "Galaxy Nexus".
