I guess there are a few things we can confirm a few details: the phone is going to be called the Galaxy Nexus (even though the name Nexus Prime has been leaked by Samsung before), and there’s a high chance it’ll be a Verizon exclusive. Seeing how Big Red didn’t get the Galaxy S2, I guess it makes sense that it would be receiving some special from Samsung (not to mention having the Galaxy S2 and Galaxy Nexus at the same time would probably cannibalize sales). Clicking on the link to Galaxy Nexus page gives a “page not found” at the moment but that shouldn’t last for long.

The official announcement for the Galaxy Nexus begins in less than an hour, stay tuned for more details.

Android: Android is the mobile operating system from Google. The software was originally built by a company called Android Inc, that was purchased by Google in 2005. From its modest debuts, Android has become a powerhouse that powers not only smartphones and tablet, but a host of other less high-profile devices and gadgets. Although Android is not a community-driven project, Google does release the source code as open-source under the Apache license. You can follow Ubergizmo on Android with Google Currents.

Galaxy Nexus: The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone to officially receive Android 4.0 aka Ice Cream Sandwich. The Galaxy Nexus was launched in Hong Kong on Oct 19 2011 and has debuted commercially in Europe as a carrier-free and unlocked GSM phone, and later arrived to the USA under the same name on the Verizon network. Although its internal hardware is pretty much equivalent in performance to the older Galaxy S2, the Galaxy Nexus has a great design with a curved glass 720p display. It is powered by a TI OMAP 4460 with 1GB of RAM and a Power VR SGX540 GPU.

Samsung: Samsung is a South-Korean conglomerate which counts many subsidiaries like Samsung Electronics, which you probably know very well, but also Samsung Heavy Industries which builds ships, or Samsung Life Insurance, Samsung Securities and many more. Samsung is responsible for an amazing 20% of South Korea's exports. In the consumer electronics world, Samsung has gone from being a company with a reputation for cheap products to becoming one of the most respected companies in the world.
