Galaxy Nexus 從側望時，有一個微彎的外形，非常搶眼。原來這設計是來自玉蘭花瓣的。
到底它的設計概念如何？Samsung 網站就找來了它的設計師 TaeJoong Kim 和 GiYoung Lee 來講解一下。
半空中的玉蘭花瓣
Galaxy Nexus 的設計靈感來玉蘭花瓣，希望有在半空中飄落的玉蘭花瓣微彎的形態。
The inspiration for the Nexus came from an image of a magnolia petal floating in midair. The goal was to capture the delicate beauty of the curve of a magnolia petal as it falls to the ground.
原先想從型格跑車找尋靈感，但最終發現自然才是靈感的來源。
Nature is authentic and infinite. Before, we tried to take inspiration from polished sports cars and other graceful designs… but then we realized that nature was the source of all inspiration.
在手機顏色上，背蓋物料，以至內在部件都有考慮，以讓手機既保持形格纖薄外形，亦不會影響手機規格和操作。
A metallic varnish was chosen for the main color, to give a sense of class, … Also for the back cover we used a Soft Feel varnish, for improved grip. In addition to metallic silver and white, there are other colors in development for various regions.
…
Also to make the device more streamlined, we rearranged the hardware components.
