Samsung Galaxy Nexus Teardown

In December 2011, Samsung launched its much-anticipated Galaxy Nexus smartphone. It's the latest device to run on Verizon's 4G LTE network, and the first to run the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Google's Android OS.

Our friends at iFixit got their hands on an unlocked, UK version of the Galaxy Nexus and cracked it open last month. But as my teardown shows, Verizon's version may look the same on the outside, but much of the hardware inside is different. Follow along as I go inside the first US version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

8MP camera? Is there a difference in the Verizon version or is this just a typo?

Processor?

Wait, what? Doesn't the Galaxy Nexus have the OMAP 4460? Isn't the Galaxy S2 the one with the Exynos 4210?
