The new system icons Google has been presented with the new official mobile Internet giant: the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. This new version adds new functions and a completely new look. At the moment it can only be seen in the third generation of Google mobiles, since at the moment no exact date has been revealed for its download on other mobiles on the market. Of course, Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be available from next November. The name of the new Google platform is Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.
Among the new functions of the new mobile platform, we can highlight the new system for unlocking the terminal, the possibility of creating folders, the possibility of sharing files in a different way or, the possibility of accessing all the information of your contacts with a single finger touch on the large screen of Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
To begin with, to unlock the main screen there will be two ways to go. One of them is the traditional one and you only have to slide your finger to one side. While the new system uses facial recognition. This means that the mobile will be able to recognize its owner when it is in front of him and thanks to the front camera; in the case of another person, a message will appear saying that the user is not correct.
On the other hand, another of the new functions of the unlock screen is that you can access the camera without having to unlock the screen; It will select and shoot. It should be noted that the Samsung Galaxy Nexus camera will not have any type of delay when taking the snapshot. That is, tapping the capture button will instantly take the photo.
Finally, from the lock screen you can also access notifications for messages, calls, social networks, etc… You just have to slide the floating tab down.
The NFC technology will also have its role in the new system icons Google. The application that will use this type of connection is called “ Android Beam”. With it, information such as maps, web pages, contact information can be shared and, even if a game is being played and one of the two users does not have it downloaded on their terminal, Android Beam will react and send the user to download the application to the Android Market store.
Meanwhile, in the section on applications and widgets (shortcuts to applications), the main menu will now be divided into tabs that will separate one from the other that, once selected, will give a view of everything installed on the mobile. Also, applications such as GMail -the email manager- or Google Calendar -application to keep up with all appointments- have been improved. In the mail manager you can have all the emails from the last 30 days with or without an Internet connection. Therefore, it is much easier to access information in areas where there is no coverage. For its part,Google Calendar updates the interface and will allow you to zoom in on appointments for a better overview of all the content.
Another positive aspect of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the ability to capture to screen without making virguerías or know at all times spending data you have. In this last aspect, the user will be able to analyze their consumption and set limits with alerts, in addition to knowing which applications are the most expensive in daily use.
Also, from now on you will not have to resort to a computer to have to edit the photographs that are taken with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus five-megapixel camera. But an image editor has been included in the icon system itself.
Last but not least, another function has also been integrated, which they have dubbed the “ People App”. With it you can access all the contact information. That is, by selecting one of them , all the information will be displayed on the screen such as a cover letter where you can access the mobile number, physical address, email address and the different ways to contact that person. In short, the entire interface has been completely renewed and many new functions have been included that will make the user enjoy their terminal completely.
