Samsung reportedly launches Galaxy Nexus in India for Rs 25,900 [update]
It seems Samsung has finally launched the Galaxy Nexus in India after officially acknowledging in May that it won’t be launched here, Twitter user @lastavenger spotted the elusive smartphone at a Samsung Store in Bangalore, where it is being sold for Rs 25,900.
Samsung has usually delayed the launch of Nexus smartphones in India, which would have cannibalized sales of its other smartphones. Even the last generation Nexus S was launched here close to the launch of the Galaxy Nexus. This time it seems Samsung wanted to ensure the Galaxy Nexus did not eat into the sales of the Galaxy S II and more importantly, the Galaxy S III. The Galaxy Nexus might have inferior specifications when compared to either of the products but it warrants a premium as it is among the first wave of devices to get any Android update. The photograph above indicates it is running on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, the only smartphone available in India to do so at the moment.
We have reached out to Samsung for a statement on whether it has indeed launched the Galaxy Nexus in India or not.
UPDATE: A Samsung spokesperson has denied that the company has launched the Galaxy Nexus in India.

Specification of the phone is completely wrong.
1 – screen 4.65″ super amoled (not plus)
2 – it is hd resolution 1280 x 720 (not 480 x 800)
3 – front camera is 1.5mp (not 2mp)
its an import by some private company in hsr layout not byu samsung india.
i had checked with the show room guy he said it was imported from singapore and only has one month software warranty.
its looking cool.. but with same price i would like to go for galaxy s2
What a move, is it some type of dumping !! after making us wait for so long, its still demanding a high price… yes its got jelly bean but still highly priced. Anyways when there is demand so y not price it high and sell. go sam-sung, u can always lower the price if not selling…nokia tricks
Galaxy nexus, will be released at least one month after the release of Note II, Hope now Motorola in its kitty Google can release its next nexus phone in India with its official release.

RSS feed of Samsung India shown Galaxy Nexus on September 13th, Google Nexus India page also says Galaxy Nexus is coming soon in India. I guess it will be launched in India soon, though it won’t make much of a difference now. Visit http://www.phonestabs.com/2012/09/17/samsung-galaxy-nexus-coming-india/ for more info..
hey frndz…there is no nexus for india…bcoz if they lounch it in india…then there wil bad effect on s2 nd s3… this phone is simply amazing nd lookng great..jellybean is very comfortable…very good built quality.i have import this fone frm dubai nd using this fone frm last 3 month…this is superb fone…hardware of s2 nd s3 feel nd look like china mobile…so dont waste ur time nd monye on s3 nd s2 or windos fone..go for it…u can got it at 24 k rupess
It is in forum . And don’t have any warranty…unlocked version..

You are wrong . The performance is at par with S2 . The HD screen of nexus blows the s2 screen in pieces in comparison .

i bought my nexus from australia. And now just after 6 months it is showing problems like restarting on making a call and all.mostly a software problem.a factory reset also didnt help.samsung service centre said since its not launched in india they dont have the software to check it.in short i am helpless.so never go for phones which are not launched in india bec if some issue happens then it will b a big loss of money.
I have nexus …. its works awesome.. and i got 4.1 jellybean … i bought in india from big dealers they sell it without bill..
