The LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus is exclusive to Verizon Wireless in the United States. In terms of hardware, the Galaxy Nexus features a 4.65-inch 720p HD Super AMOLED display, 32GB of on-board storage, 1GB of RAM, LTE 4G connectivity, and Near Field Communications technology.

Description

The iPhone 4S features the same design as the iPhone 4 and is the first device to support Apple’s new Siri “intelligent assistant” and dictation system. The 4S supports both CDMA and GSM, allowing global roaming. It has an updated camera with a 8-megapixel sensor that offers improved low-light performance and 1080p video recording.

The N9 is the only consumer handset from Nokia that runs the Harmattan version of MeeGo, a primarily mobile OS that was started by Intel and Nokia. The OS is centered around three homescreens that users can easily swipe to access. The phone itself features a convex curved glass AMOLED screen with a ClearBlack filter and a unibody polycarbonate shell.
