I think it's pretty unlikely. Rumors are that we're looking at an announcement in the next few months, probably before the end of the year. Google has only just acquired Motorola mobility, so this really wont play into it much for the upcoming Nexus device. Google would have to have been in talks with whoever is making the next Google phone for many more than two months. Developing new phones takes a looooooong time.

After seeing the American SGS2 announcements, I'm slightly underwhelmed (although the 4.5 inch screen is cool). Rumors were a 1.5Ghz processor, but since they just went with the stock 1.2Ghz, I'm looking to the Nexus prime for a phone that isn't going to be out of date quite as soon as I think the SGS2 will be.
[General Topics] Spl4tt:
it's clear that it will have specs like the GSII. This is enough, i dont care much about uber specs anymore. i dont even see a eifference between a good tweaked Nexus S and a GSII.

so fk it, i go for the Nexus Prime, no matter what happens. i want a pure google phone again, and i want to be first with icecream
[General Topics] ckoadiyn:
Would also like pure Google phone most specs don't matter just want a hd display of some sort
[General Topics] aohus:
actually, theres been some valid rumors that the first ICS phone will be based off TI OMAP processor. Motorola is in the TI OMAP camp so most likely the first ICS phone will be coming from Motorola.

As for the American SGS2 announcement, notice how Verizon was not mentioned in this. I highly doubt that the largest network with most subscribers with the most reliable network will be ignored by handset manufacturers. I think the rumors are true that a 1.5 ghz sammy phone is coming, but later in October-December time frame with NFC support. This is being dubbed the 'Droid Prime' or 'Nexus Prime.' I think this is the phone that most everyone is waiting for.

Or there is possibility that the Droid Prime and Prime Nexus are actually two separate phones. Personally, i think they're the same phone being interchanged with one another.

Theres also another super smartphone coming from HTC called HTC Runnymede, sporting a 4.7 inch screen lol, with dr. dre Beats bundle. This phone will be using a Qualcomm single core 1.4 ghz processor (MSM8225)
[General Topics] sbenson1226:
I'm thinking these are two different (but similar) devices both made by Sammy. I could see them both dropping near the same time.

A Nexus Prime for T-Mo, Att&t and Sprint, and then a Droid Prime on Verizon. Nexus Prime will be as expected, a pure google device sporting ICS. Droid Prime, will be the first pure vanilla android device since the OG, also sporting ICS.

Knowing Verizon's track record and their stance on tethering, etc, I just don't see them allowing a Nexus device on their network. However, I do see them allowing a "Nexus Clone" and then re-branding it as a Droid device. Locked bootloader and Verizon bloat will no doubt be included, but this device will easily be cracked.

This device will become legend, the first true successor to the OG Droid.
[General Topics] Ace42:
Google said Moto wouldn't be getting any special treatment even though they're together now, we'll just have to wait and see who gets the honor of making the Prime in the next few months ;) . It could be HTC again, they made the N1, and android's 1st phone ever, the G1/Dream..Could be ol Sammy this time around, they did put the NS w/ the Amoleds for the true blacks. Then there's Moto too, using that good ol Tegra or the OMAP. But the OMAP are normally lacking in power compared to the Snapdragon & Hummingbird/Exynos . I hope it just has a good GPU, since ICS should have GPU rendering now, I think HC has it in 3.2 .And LG, Sony, and those other brands have no chance of making the Prime, especially Sony and their tendency to be too late or too early with something. The Xperia play flopped due to its specs, kinda how its psp go did in sales .
[General Topics] sbenson1226:
I could be wrong, but I believe it's been confirmed that Samsung is making the upcoming Nexus device. After that is anyone's guess.

[General Topics] Zorachus:
I thought the Prime coming to Verizon in October has been pretty much confirmed as the next Nexus device running Android 4.0 "Ice Cream" ?

Or is the Prime just a beefed up Galaxy S2 with slight spec boost ?
[General Topics] Ace42:
No it will be a Nexus device w/ using the Sammy parts, but w/ a 1.5GHz Exynos, or perhaps a new CPU is possible. It will have SC-LCD or Super Amoled +, one or the other, and will have no Hardware buttons , allowing the bezel to become smaller and the screen's size increases.
[General Topics] ph00ny:
huh?

This is the first time hearing 1.5Ghz Exynos and SAMOLED+?

every other rumor had it pegged with TI's OMAP dual core setup and SAMOLED HD
[General Topics] Ace42:
Hmm...Sammy would never use the likes of the OMAP, when their Exynos is incredible w/ the 4 cored Mali-400. And it must be the Amoled HD then, since it's gonna be 720P. The manufacture can OC the chips to have higher speeds, the orig speed of the Exynos would not be 1.2GHz IMO, they always underclock the CPUs for battery purposes, same can be said about the Dual-Core Snapdragon, which was orig a 1.5GHz monster. But I did read that it would use the OMAP and a older SGX540 only....Would be a sad mistake of Samsung to make such a choice.
[General Topics] jdw97702:

[General Topics] ckoadiyn:
Think they are talking about Droid prime which I think is a vanilla phone with ics. Not the nexus line
[General Topics] Ace42:
Yeah I might have them confused, they have very similar parts and i9xxx names too. But if ICS is using GPU rendering it will need the best GPU for that, currently the SGSII has very smooth scrolling in the browser compared to other dual core phones...

I believe this is true. Sammy and the carrier (Verizon possibly in this case) have no say in what goes into the device. Sammy is just contracted to build the device exactly to Google's specs.

[General Topics] dreadlord369:
Well a couple of websites mentioned that samsung might not be putting the real specs up as of now, another weird thing that the page mentions is that the max MMS res is only around 2 megapixels. Normally the max MMS res is the same res as the main camera on the device, so unless the Prime's main camera is only 2 megapixels, I would take the specs on the page with a grain of salt for now.
[General Topics] aohus:
i'm 90% positive the resolution of the upcoming Nexus Prime will be 1280x720 with a 5MP rear camera w/ advanced sensors.

All the trade shows are showing off higher resolution screens. I'm sure those specs are placeholders for now.

http://techcrunch.com/2011/08/11/leaked-samsung-road-map-reveals-big-screens-and-bada-phones/

Additionally, the Samsung leaked roadmap that was published by a lithuanian site pulled down at Samsung's request accurately showed the GT-I9220 with a 5.29 screen, which turned out to be the Galaxy Note. Its coming ya'll.

Based on leaks, here are the specs for the Samsung Galaxy Nexus Prime or whatever you call it.

Curved 4.65 Super AMOLED HD (PenTile)

TI OMAP 4460 SoC

PowerVR SGX 540 @ 384MHz

5 MP 1080p@30fps with Advanced Next-Gen Sensors

1280 x 720 resolution (possibly 1280 x 800)

First to market using Ice Cream Sandwich Android OS

Will there be SD Card support?

-Constantly having the clock on the screen in standby mode.

-Notification icons on the screen in standby mode.

That is what happens when a company gets cocky after a little bit of success. After the original Droid Motorola decided to go full on crazy and take away the developer community. They got exactly what they deserve and will struggle in mediocrity until it changes. Even HTC had a momentary brain fart until they got deluged with email / twitter / comments.

Samsung was another company developers and power users hated. Now look at us waiting in line for sloppy seconds with the GS2 how long later? With the Nexus prime on its heels that perception is likely to change as well.

as for the PenTile complaints, they switched from RGBG PenTile to standard RGB stripe, making it less pixelated. So PenTile won't be much of an issue.

[General Topics] Sjael:
-Warning: Conjecture Ahead!-

They also had to make the S2 4.3" because that's as small as they could make an RGB-stripe WVGA screen. :D

The Galaxy Note is 1280x800, but 5.3", so why not make that an RGB stripe too? Because 1280x800 would require about (hint) 7.7" for an rgb stripe, if the Galaxy S2 is an indicator. For bonus points: The Galaxy S2, Galaxy Note, and Tab 7.7 all have a similar number of subpixels-per-inch. 720p with a PenTile arrangement would fit snugly within Samsung's apparent manufacturing limits.

I can't imagine Sammy would go to such great lengths to extol the benefits of SAMOLED+, then not put it on their next top-end - and allegedly hugely expensive - phone without a damn good reason. Especially since the Note is due after the Prime. They're even heralding SAMOLED HD as an amazing new technology.

-End Of Conjecture-

I personally don't have a problem with PenTile though. Especially not at this kind of density (eg the Note's 285ppi.) People will always complain about it though, even if they can't see it. :D

[General Topics] Sjael:
Oh, I don't mean to say there isn't a legitimate problem with PenTile at low density relative to viewing distance etc, I'm just saying that there will always be people who will whine about it, even when it's beyond distinguishable with the human eye, just because "it isn't RGB." ;)
[General Topics] dreadlord369:
Well that might be true. Hopefully it will not be noticeable on the prime, if thats the case, awesome, but if not, the whining shall continue!;)

[General Topics] AllGamer:
i certainly hope that is true, if it in fact comes with SD card slot then i'll hold out for the Nexus 3 instead of SGH-T989

however by the time it gets released to other carriers, that's at least 3 month later if lucky.

knowing the sweet time Tmobile likes to take when releasing a new phone, i'll probably guesstimate some where between Spring / Summer 2012

but all of that is kind of contradictory to all the other news leaks that has been available for the Nexus 3... so it could probably be a troll from 4chan

Yes I don't really believe that guy but some of these things could be true and they WOULD definitely awesome.

They will have to put much into this phone if it should kill the iphone 5.
