Wealthy suitors take note — Samsung’s confirmed the white version of the Galaxy Nexus will go on sale in the UK on 13 February, just in time for Valentine’s Day. Aww.
The Galaxy Nexus needs little introduction — its place in mobile history is cemented as the first phone to run Android 4.0, aka Ice Cream Sandwich. That’s the latest, greatest edition of Google’s mobile operating system, and it brings an interface overhaul, as well as the ability to unlock your phone using your face.
The Nexus also sports a 720p display and a natty design, and while the camera boasts a mere 5 megapixels, we liked the Nexus enough to plop four and a half stars on it in our review, along with our prestigious Editors’ Choice award.
But if you’ve been holding off on buying the Nexus because it doesn’t match your dishwasher, origami collection and fleet of trained polar bears, now is the time. Samsung tells us the white Nexus will be flogged through a “range of stores across the country” from next Monday.
Samsung enjoys teasing us with different coloured phones. In the past we’ve seen both white and pink versions of the excellent Galaxy S2, and there’s a white Galaxy Note doing the rounds too.
Would you whip out your wallet for a white Nexus? Or do you prefer the moodier default grey-ish black version? Tell us in the comments, or on our Facebook wall. If you need help deciding, try and imagine whether you’d rather see a penguin waddling towards or away from you.
