With either Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Samsung Galaxy Note, you can be certain of having a powerful gadget.
The two phones run Google’s Android platform (though different versions), and are the height of Samsung’s success in 2011.They are strong evolutions over the highly profiled Samsung Galaxy S II.
Let’s see how the two phones compare and how they differ.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs Samsung Galaxy Note – Hardware
Samsung Galaxy Note comes with dimensions of 147x83x9.65mm compared to 135.5×67.9×8.9mm of Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Thus, the Galaxy Note is much larger and heavier than the Galaxy Nexus at 178g compared to 116g of the Galaxy Nexus.
Both devices sport an awesome 1080p high-definition camera and produce crisp, clear pictures and videos. However, the Galaxy Note also has the capacity for editing photos and videos such that, you can crop images, put them on your notepad and draw over the images; and the process is very easy. On the other hand, Samsung Galaxy Nexus features a faster shutter camera that can readily take nice pictures almost immediately you put on your camera.
In addition, both Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Samsung Galaxy Note rock dual-core processors of 1.2 GHz and 1.4GHz respectively in theory; but in reality, the Galaxy Nexus functions at lightning speed and is actually faster than the Galaxy Note.
The two phones support near field technology and flash, but the Galaxy Note also supports TV-out.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs. Samsung Galaxy Note – Design & Display
First, the larger screen of the Galaxy Note perfectly adapts it for note-taking and image editing, whereas the Galaxy Nexus appeals more as a phone.
Compared to the Galaxy Note, Samsung Galaxy Nexus has a slimmer frame and a large and contoured display at 8.9mm thickness compared to 9.65mm thickness of the Galaxy Note. Moreover, the Galaxy Nexus’ 4.65 inches screen runs at 1280×720 resolutions, and it gives a superb experience for watching videos and Web pages. So also, the Galaxy Note’s 5.3 inches screen – running at 1280×800 resolutions- makes the device very distinct.

Thus, the phone rocks all the latest features from the Android platform. The Samsung Galaxy Note runs Google’s Android 2.3 Gingerbread (3.5G) but is expected to get the Ice Cream Sandwich in 2012 and run Samsung’s TouchWiz on top.
Summary
Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the first phone to sport the extraordinary Google’s Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, whereas Samsung Galaxy Note comes with big, powerful screen and is good for watching videos and editing pictures, though it has a poor battery life compared to the Galaxy Nexus. Fortunately, the Galaxy Note will be receiving ICS update next year. So, what’s your pick?
