Under the battery cover, this unlocked HSPA+ version is home to a 1, 750mAh NFC-enabled battery and a standard SIM slot nestled to the right of the camera pod.

In front, the Galaxy Nexus is almost identical to the Nexus s, with a sheet of "reinforced" curved glass hiding sensors and a 1.3 megapixel front-facing camera to the right of the earpiece.
