The white variant of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus will launch in the UK on February 13th.

Featuring Android 4.0, a 4.65in HD Super AMOLED (1,280x720) display and a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, the Galaxy Nexus White features exactly the same specifications as the original Galaxy Nexus.

They include a 5 megapixel rear-facing camera, NFC support and a redesigned user interface which incorporates ‘Face Unlock’ allowing users to unlock their phone using facial recognition technology.

After much speculation, we are pleased to announce the availability of the Galaxy Nexus White which follows the great reception the phone has received since it was launched back in November” Samsung UK telecoms exec Simon Stanford said in a press release. ”

One of the things we at Samsung pride ourselves on is the choice we offer customers, and we’ve enjoyed huge success to date by introducing white variants of our most popular models to our product portfolio.”

The new white model will be available in 16GB and 32GB flavours. Pricing has yet to be confirmed.

Is the 32Gb version definitely coming to the UK then? Only in white or will this also signal a 32Gb black version too?
Looking at the white and black S2 side by side and was really surprised to discover that I prefer the white one. Assistant in the shop was a bit dismissive though - saying that the white one was really for the lassies. :o

I really like the white one too, goes well with the ‘cool’ ICS look!
Shame about the lack of microSD. Also since when does it take x months for a white version to arrive? Taking cues from Apple?
I'd still take the black one thank you very much
