Actually now that I'm thinking it through more, the Nexus Prime screen couldn't possibly be the same dimensions as the Infuse, because of the aspect ratio difference. So imagine the SGS2 (4.3" 800x480, 1.667, 3.687x2.212") with the buttons gone, and the screen elongated an extra 0.235" into that space (4.5" 1280x720, 1.778, 3.922x2.206"). So not as massive as feared.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sirgoob:
Its probably gonna be around the same size as the charge

I just hope it has a LED notification light.... and a flash light on the back...

as for samsung's build quality, they have been doing some awesome stuff lately(Phones, Laptops, TVs) and with Cyanogen on their team, it's gonna be interesting!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phewizzo:
As seen from the up in coming Samsung devices, Nexus Prime screen size is gonna be 4.65 inches.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deliamber:
Seriously. I love the size and structure of my N1. I've messed around with larger screen devices like the Evo, and they feel both unwieldy and less solid.

Really, I'd be thrilled to have something exactly like the N1, just with upgraded CPU/SoC (maybe dual core), more RAM and onboard flash, and perhaps a true multitouch screen. Ok, and maybe a re-worked power button. But really, that's all I want.

I don't need 3D, a huge screen I can't fit easily in pockets, gimmicky curved glass, or 7G radios that only last 90 minutes. I just want the N1, updated.

There's so much they got right with the N1 IMHO, it's hard for me to find something that I'd be willing to replace it with yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bcpk:
It will probably be around the same size as the HTC Sensation. Although it has a 4.3" screen, because it is 16:9 it feels much smaller than the SGS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Right, but since the rumoured Nexus Prime is (I stand corrected now) 4.65" and also 16:9, it'll have to be 8% wider than the Sensation - but not necessarily taller due to removal of the buttons. Although some of that width could also come from slimming down the bezel even further, if at all possible.

Doubt it, business is business. I bet they either found a bug, some kind of problem, or now that they know what they're up against (or not up against) with the iPhone 4s, they're revamping their marketing. The 4s was a weakish update -- no LTE -- and they can go in for the kill now.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirk:
I'm a bit disappointed with the look of the Prime. There's too much wasted space top and bottom for my liking. This mock-up actually looks much better to me:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawaski47:
I don't like the on screen buttons. Seemsike a waste of screen space. I was perfectly fine with the capacitive buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmout:
Latest report is an ATT/T-Mobile version has been submitted to the FCC. Supposedly, it has better specs than the Verizon version.

It's not a waste of space -- quite the opposite. When you do something full screen (e.g., watch a movie) the buttons can disappear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Good point on the buttons bigmout,

I was about to echo same complaint--I want the keypad as big as possible for easier typing :)

But, this is a Gingerbread/Honeycomb hybrid--so some tablet features are going to be there, at least that is my understanding--
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -A-P-M-:
According to photo from FCC, Samsung NExus Prime will have 124 x 68 mm dimensions. Samsung Galaxy S2 has 125.3 x 66 , so its a little taller. Do you think Nexus Prime got 4.2 screen like Galaxy S2 ??

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
4.65 seems to be the number floating around
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmout:
Oh, me, too. I'm seriously considering the Galaxy Note if the Prime isn't available on AT&T or otherwise disappoints.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] obi12341:
I like the design. Looks a bit futuristically :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vzontini:
I think it looks like every other Samsung phone, and most other candybar Android phones for that matter. Nothing really differentiating from the leaked picture.

I attached pics of the Nexus S, Galaxy S, Galaxy S2 Tmobile, and the alleged Galaxy Nexus pic. They are all black rounded rectangles with a prominent screen and a few black rounded rectangle buttons along the top and sides. I see and appreciate the hardware and software specification differences but what is the design difference?

When I see an iPhone 3GS and an Iphone 4 I see a design difference, but I'm not seeing it here (at least from the leaks). Maybe it will all make sense when seen in person.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eclair~:
I don't mind Sasmung using the same design language on all of their devices, which the same can be said for HTC. It tells you that this is a phone designed by Samsung. While the same design language may be used, no two phones look exactly the same.

The 3GS and iPhone 4 look so different because Apple switched up their style. They ditch the super rounded corners and straightened them out a bit, and also switched up the material used to designed the phone. There is not much left for Samsung to do. Only the front of their devices are similar to one another, no company would be stupid enough to make everything else look the same.

And in person the difference can be seen more easily, also as I said above, there isn't really much that can be changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -A-P-M-:
Looks like 19.10 is a new date for Nexus Prime launch :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bassmadrigal:
I think (assuming that article is true) they are just announcing the NP along with the release date (and hopefully releasing ICS). I think if they were releasing it on that day, we would've heard leaks from stores receiving product.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Markdental:
So I just got some bad news.

A little birdie just told me that he is not that impressed with the new Nexus. Says bad battery life and doesn't like the screen. But I am wondering if that is bec of the LTE.

Wondering if the GSM model will be better on battery. I am still excited and can't wait, but really do love my classic Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OJ in Compton:
I think you need to go back and read that birdie's post again, because you certainly didn't get the message.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Markdental:
Panda, is that you? Are you messing with us/me?

Seems like you've been talking to Siri a little bit too much lately. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmout:
I got the impression Panda was saying the large, colorful screen is contributing to the poor battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catsa:
THat has always been a problem for the next gen devices, it's been a problem ever since android started making high-end phones with gorgeous screens. As long as there isn't any wifi battery draining bug or memory leak, it should be fine. People should not expect their smartphones to last more than a day anyways, extensive usage in mind.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sogrady:
Is there a consensus for carrier coverage in the US?

Most sites I've seen are still claiming it's a Verizon exclusive:

"Lastly, we’re still hearing that the Galaxy Nexus will be a Verizon Wireless exclusive here in the U.S."

http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/06/samsung-galaxy-nexus-full-specs-revealed-verizon-wireless-exclusive/

Which doesn't make sense because of the aforementioned FCC pass through:

"A Sammy handset with the model number I9250, which matches up nicely with the baseband version in theGalaxy Nexus shots that popped up, just made an appearance at the FCC packing a GSM radio compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile's HSPA networks. It's also boasting dual-band 802.11n, Bluetooth and NFC. Despite suggestions that the next Nexus device would be a Verizon exclusive, we could be looking at the AT&T version or at least the unlocked GSM model. "

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/08/...s-through-the-fcc-possibly-heading-to-atandt/

But then again, it's in Verizon's system:

http://www.bgr.com/2011/10/14/samsu...rs-in-verizon-system-could-land-november-3rd/

What gives? Multiple versions? And if so, why launch one with LTE and one w/o, given that that would be useful for both AT&T and Verizon?

I'm stuck w/ AT&T here as it's the only coverage I have available at home, so I have more than a rooting interest in this subject.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stevv:
Any possible data-only plan or pay-as-you-go data I could use...? I really don't need phone minutes but plan to use lots of internet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
You could activate the i9250 on T-Mobile prepaid's new web only deal. $30/mo for 5gb data, unlimited text and 100 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigmout:
The consensus is definitely Verizon and hopefully AT&T/T-Mobile. You'll almost certainly be able to buy an unsubsidized world phone version that's compatible with AT&T. But thus far, there's no confirmation it will be available subsidized by any other carrier than Verizon.

hardware acceleration. bout f'ing time google.

All Android-powered devices running Android 4.0 are required to support hardware-accelerated 2D drawing. Developers can take advantage of this to add great UI effects while maintaining optimal performance on high-resolution screens, even on phones. For example, developers can rely on accelerated scaling, rotation, and other 2D operations, as well as accelerated UI components such as TextureView and compositing modes such as filtering, blending, and opacity.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daveid:
Wow, yet another Nexus without expandable memory, way to lose my interest... why did they do this again? Are people really satisfied with 32gb? I guess this helps me in my quest for a new phone, that Amaze is looking sweet (just needs a second battery).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jacindc:
I want Ice Cream Sandwich desperately, but just am not sure that the Galaxy Nexus is the one I want to pull the trigger with. I think it's just going to be too big, and the lack of SD card storage has me unsure as well.

I do have an AT&T upgrade at the ready, though, so maybe I'll buy it just for the heck of it. After all, I get to lug it around in a purse, unlike many of you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gimiento:
It looks pretty sweet, though I wish a bit smaller. But why didn't they announce pricing and availability? I don't get the strategy in that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] espeanage:
The specs are not bad, but not really setting the bar like what the N1 did. I'm not digging the lack of microSD, 5MP camera. A 1.5GHz CPU would've been nice, but 1.2GHz doesn't really set a new standard does it? Sure sure, it's all about the experience and optimizations. What about the GPU? Any word on that?

I am really impressed with ICS! Hopefully, there will be other hardware that it will be better suited to. I'm looking at you HTC >.>
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] an2ane:
I'm happy with my phone for now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoWa22:
What a major disappointment - a 4 year old GPU... No SD card slot. Mediocre camera. I've never felt so tempted at getting a iPhone 4 (S) as I do right now... Even the "old" Galaxy S II is more powerful than the Galaxy Nexus - that's hillarious!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Gsmarena.com has microsd listed on galaxy nexus. Can anyone verify if its going to have a micro slot or not. Its killing me not being sure. Im using about 17gigs on my atrix, and that is about 1.5 gigs left on 14.9 on my sd.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wwfc:
There is an SD Card slot, it's included in the specs in Sammy's press release. Everyone is getting caught up in camera megapixels, which mean nothing without a good sensor. I have an omnia 7 which is 5MP and a desire HD which is 8MP, yet photos are much better with the Omnia 7 as it has a better sensor. 1.2Ghz is plenty, you've got to remember only honeycomb and now ICS take advantage of dual core cpu'.s Gingerbread worked with them, but wasn't optimised. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the Galaxy nexus, although i did prefer the name Nexus Prime :P Now it's up to HTC to see what they can do
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buck Shot:
I had the N1 until my daughter broke it and unfortunately I had to get a Samsung Vibrant through insurance since T-Mo didnt sell the N1. I immediately rooted it and put on cyan 7. I can honestly say this is a better phone than the N1. All I miss is my trackball notifications and flash. Its bigger, better screen, maybe not as fast but close. So for people saying they wont buy samsungs plasticy phones, i say, you wont be disappointed. Its light and durable. I dropped/smacked this phone a few times and was thinking i would turn it over to a smashed screen and there was nothing. I know nothing beats the feel and build of HTC. My wifes G2 feels like a tank compared to this. N1 is old... I know its hard to say goodbye, but its old and out speced... and I absolutely loved my N1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
The new nexus is supposed to be metal unless they changed it. Micro sd slot is still ip in the air. I personally dont care about megapixels. As long as it is a decent camera. Better sensor and megapixels dont matter. If the camera is as good as the atrix il be happy.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoWa22:
Galaxy Nexus got 2.4 times as many pixels to update - and the GPU is weaker than the one in Galaxy S II and MANY times weaker than what Apple put in the 4S... This is a scandal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hakimy:
sorry for my noob question but with usb hosting does that mean I'll be able to connect keyboards,mouse and hopefully flash memory with the device? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taylerdurden:
The SGX540 in the OMAP 4460 is clocked at ~380Mhz, in the Nexus S (Galaxy S) is clocked at ~200Mhz. The SGX540 inside the OMAP 4430 is clocked at ~300Mhz, and is faster than the Mali400 in the SGS2. So the 4460 would be much faster:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoWa22:
Okay, didn't know they had changed clocks - so it's a bit faster than SGS II but still has 2.4 times as many pixels to move and is still many times slower than iPhone 4S GPU.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bzdemes:
Many times slower seems a bit of an exaggeration? Have you got some benchmarks comparing the two? Or any comparing the iPhone 4S to existing Android phones. Of course with all those juicy extra pixels its gonna struggle with games but I would like to see some hard numbers. Personally I am not looking to game on it so I just need it to handle HD playback!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rickh925:
That's the idea. You could also plug in an external drive although there are some limitations like power...

Rick
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoWa22:
http://tech.shantanugoel.com/wp-con...nandtech-gpu-comparison-sgx543mp2-mali400.png - "many times" is an exaggeration, that's correct. ;) I've seen benchmarks where the difference is quite a bit bigger - but also some where it's smaller. Can't really seem to find any now that I really need them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bejeweledman:
Does anybody know that will there be a SD card slot or not? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Doesnt necessarily mean its slower for games. Alot of games arent and probably most for awhile wont take advantage of the extra pixels. And yes the power vr 540 is clocked faster. Its 384 mhz. The gpu in the iphone 4s is overkill for that size and resolution. Its a dual core gpu too. I cant wait to see how well the 540 handles the 12x720 res though. I wish they were making the 4460 and 540 at 28nm though. Its still on 45 nm die.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -greenboy-:
Any ETA when its releasing?

I was going to buy SGS2 and hold my horses for this....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoWa22:
I really can't see why it can be overkill - the graphics on these devices are still quite bad, we need all the power we can get. It really should be a no-brainer to use a 543 on the Galaxy Nexus - how much would it add to production cost? $10?

Well, I think I'll just lean back and wait for the Galaxy S III.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingiggy262:
I heard SD card slot is not included. Having 32GB of internal memory is plenty for me so no SD card slot is not a problem IMO
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pukemon:
Bad? What do you expect for the gpu power? And especially the screen size? A lot of games do not take advantage of the gpus out now. And in phones there has to be a balance of power and efficiency. I think the vr 543 wouldve been better for the nexus res rather than the iphone 4s. And this part sucks, but the nexus isnt about the latest hardware, its about the latest and greatest software. I just hope that the hw acceleration is implemented well. I am considering taking a look at windows because of this.

I voided my warranty and your mum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ptewee:
I'm not only excited about Galaxy Nexus and IceCream Sandwich, but I'm more interested in watching how XDA developers cook up improvements in their own ROMs.

Honeycomb was awesome, but Tiamat went even further to improve the usability. Same goes for Cyanogenmod.

Android's open source concept is awesome. I rest my case.
