Samsung Galaxy Nexus Vs Galaxy S2

Well, last month, we seen Galaxy Nexus which is the first Android Ice Cream Sandwich Smartphone for us and it’s looks best OS so far with great features combine of smartphone. It may be big selection issue for us as Samsung galaxy S2 or Galaxy Nexus?

Galaxy S2 already hits market and very popular one and hold some excellent specs while Nexus Prime seems somehow minor upgrade with only positive points of Android ICS!  Here, i compare both of the Android phones,

Sure, the Galaxy Nexus comes with Ice Cream Sandwich while the Galaxy S2 comes only with Android 2.3.5, but Samsung is likely to get the upgrade to ICS. I think Galaxy SII still have edge over Galaxy Nexus except Android Ice Cream Sandwich OS which may give reason for us to go for new smartphone!
