Google Galaxy Nexus, also called Galaxy Nexus X is a GSM device with 1GB RAM and 1.20GHz Dual-core processor. It was the first device with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as OS. It then received updates till v4.3 Jelly Bean. But it’s capable of running Android 4.4 KitKat or even 4.5 Lollipop.
To be able to enjoy Android KitKat or Lollipop on your Samsung Google Nexus 3 device, you need to flash an Android custom ROM that was built for it. I’m going to list few most up-to-date ROMs for your device on this page. Flash your device at your own risk!!!
