Instead, it is the "device" ID, based on software build, that determines if it is a "Google Galaxy Nexus" -- the Google versions are all takju (US version w/ Google Wallet) and yakju (International version). The versions updated by Samsung/mobile carriers include toro, toroplus, yakjuux, yakjuxw, and several others.
