The Galaxy Nexus doesn't go through carriers unless you're on Verizon (or maybe Sprint). It was sold through Google Play (and given away at developer events like I/O) completely unlocked.
Here are the images Google has supplied for this device in the past:

Leaving it out of Google's announcement feels a lot like an implicit deprecation to me.
- MoosePlissken 13y agoMy bad, I have the Galaxy Nexus through Verizon and assumed it was the same for other carriers. I forgot it was available unlocked through the Play store. I'm used to ignoring all of the news from Google and waiting an extra 6+ months for every update.
- syjer 13y agoThere is a FAQ page that confirm the deprecation of the support of the gnex : https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3468085 https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/3468085 Well, I'm a little bit disappointed, I hoped to have the update too.
- ars 13y agoThat says they support for 18 months, but the Galaxy Nexus was available from Google Play as late as July 4[1] - that's less than 18 months.
