At an event in Hong Kong last night night, Google and Samsung finally put months of speculation to rest by unveiling the new Galaxy Nexus smartphone alongside the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system. And as you’d expect from a Samsung smartphone, this baby does not disappoint.

The question many people were asking before Apple unveiled its fifth-generation iPhone earlier this month was “Can it compete with the Samsung Galaxy S II?” However, the Galaxy S II might not be the new iPhone 4S’ biggest worry, because it looks like a third is on the way.

Following this morning’s news that Google and Samsung have postponed the launch of the new Nexus Prime and Android Ice Cream Sandwich next week, Android fans are itching to find out when the announcements will take place. According to The Next Web, it’ll happen later this month.

If you were asked to name the most impressive Android smartphones, you would most likely choose devices from the likes of HTC, Motorola or Samsung. But a new device on its way from Huawei could make its way into your list, thanks to its impressive list of specifications, and a battery said to last a whole three days.
