Google再一次選擇了三星，推出了全新一代Nexus——GALAXY Nexus。全新的Android4.0（Ice Cream Sandwish），在720p HD Super AMOLED屏幕、TI雙核處理器、1GB RAM的硬件支持下，表現發揮到極致。不過這一切背后，很受傷的是誰呢？
作為Google的核心級一線合作伙伴，可以說HTC與三星的地位不分伯仲，在Android4.0正式發布之后，HTC官方發表了聲明，讓越來越多使用HTC安卓手機的用戶吃了一顆定心丸。
“We are excited about the latest update forAndroid, Ice Cream Sandwich, and are currently reviewing its features and functionality to determine our upgrade plans. Our goal for Android updates is to give every customer an improved user experience, which means balancing eachphone's unique hardware, HTC Sense experience and the Android kernel. While our goal is to upgrade as many of our recent devices as possible, we are committed to maintaining every phone's performance and usability first. Please stay tuned for more updates on specific device upgrade plans.”
以上就是HTC的部分官方聲明，大致意義是說：HTC很高興Ice Cream Sandwish正式發布，HTC基于Sense的考慮，正在制定未來的系統升級計劃。為了讓每一款HTC手機的用戶都能夠真正得到不同的使用體驗的提升，升級會優先在近期發布的手機開始。（這是否意味著，早期的Desire S、Incredible S已經不在考慮范圍了呢？畢竟GALAXY Nexus已經是雙核手機，單核小RAM可能真的會吃不消“冰淇林三明治”。）
