短評 Samsung Galaxy Nexus (ICS v4.0.1)

用佐部Galaxy Nexus 差不多一個月, 有以下comments 不吐不快。

The bad side ...

1) Boot Loader doesn't handle very low battery as my expectation. It just loop on the charging state until the user php the charger, which is very strange to me.

2) The quality of the speaker is shit which user sure can't notice the voice call in a noisy environment. (好雞)

3) No Vibrate first & then ring mode.

4) Switching between background is not user friendly.

5) The default Playlist for the default player is not good.

6) The default photo app is not good.
7) Battery life can't last for one day general usage (fb, email, reading news, a few calls already drained 80% of the battery for 8 hours operation).

8) The new feature, face unlock sure only "just for fun".

9) MTF with Mac always broken with large amount of files transfer (GBs). I don't have PC and I don't know it is more stable with PC or Linux.

10) No default compass app, mail client (only have gmail), stop watch ...

11) Contact list handling is shit.

12) Wi-Fi connection is not stable with airport express. (Who should I blame to?)

13) It is quite often some downloaded application will crashed the system (e.g. 蒙恬筆Samsung GALAXY Nexus - 中文輸入, Browser plus ...etc)

The good side

1) Headphone audio quality is good vs iPhone.

2) Single-Motion Panoramic Mode for camera is good.

3) Super AMOLED 720p screen is beautiful.

4) Camera response is fast vs iPhone.

5) Response time is fast for most user cases.

6) Some users doesn't like apple iTune may like the device as it Samsung just open the MTP for user to handle the phone content. (For me, it is shit.)
