[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The ad was a little goofy but I'm definitely stoked about the phone. I love the curve and can't wait to use it. I wonder if it's gonna be an edge to edge screen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SwiftLegend:
The X2 fits perfectly in my pocket. Seriously, 4.6" isn't that big. Take a X2 and extend the screen over the black borders (where the Moto and Verizon logos are, not the button area) and you got 4.6, which will still fit nicely.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
:) this and a one year contract guarantees a sweet phone now that will be worth a few bucks when I upgrade in a year!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I want it lol hurry up samsung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Anyone see this post yet? Android Police is saying that the "Beefed up" GSMarena Nexus Prime is another device entirely, and that the Verizon Nexus (allegedly "Galaxy Nexus") is going exclusively to Big Red, a la Motorola XOOM. If I have to wait months between the CDMA, GSM, and then the newer, "Nexus Prime" edition of this phone, I think I'm just going to buy the iPhone 4S. At least it'll hold it's value better and won't be outdated immediately...

I'll be really disappointed if it turns out like this, I was really looking forward to this phone, but rumors are just rumors after all =D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
Very odd that if they will pass christmas sales in europe. But i think i can take it, i will buy nexus prime anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
I just hope it comes out in a timely manner unlike the Nexus S...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] suomaf:
Engadget is saying that they might announce on the 18th.. I am gusing like a school girl over how giddy I am :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
If this is true, I'll just stick with the SGS2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dadennis:
Can't believe thats true, AndroidPolice was often wrong the last years/months about some rumors. Also it would be totally dumb to make a Developer-Phone CDMA-exclusive, so it would just be usable in the US .... don't think so ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SrulDog:
really cool

and really curved (this 10 post before you can post on dev forums is kinda silly)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
I'm the same. Phones are getting just too big IMO. You cannot operate comfortably with one hand. Nexus S is it for me size wise. Galaxy S II was just too wide. They need to release a smaller version with the same specs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
You can't just put all the same specs to smaller phone... Bigger phone better specs. And anyway, there will be available smaller phones that are not that good for web browsing and for games but good for people that don't want "big" phone.

And you can't say 4.65" display is too big, it can actually be smaller that 4.3" if it uses all the hardware buttons space. So dimensions is what matters, not the display inch rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Darktori:
THIS!

I can't understand why so many posters here think that the new Nexus will be much bigger then for example a SGS II.

With a small bezel and the bigger dimension of the screen being used for the buttons, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nexus turns out to be about the same size as the last one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
It's been quoted at 68mm in width. Bigger than the SGSII. (Which IMO is already too wide!).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
Exactly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] funkyblue04:
2mm is alot when the SGSII is already wide...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] michel-slm:
Not fully; 3G support on US T-Mobile phones, including the Nexus One, on E-plus here in Germany is rather atrocious (compared to other Android phones sold in Germany, running on the same network)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knightridrr:
NEXUS Prime all the way

im anxiously waiting for nexus prime cus i get a feeling tht ice cream sandwich will be launched with it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertyaas:
I was just about to buy an GSGII on AT&T but now I feel like I have to wait for this..!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avetny:
No I just sell my sgs2....

To get ready for Prime...

But if specs will be bull****...than galaxy note much better
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
Sorry to inform you, but your iphone 4s is already outdated before its even been released, by the better part of a year. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x Taz x:
This is just specuation..but I just read this on android police http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...eam-sandwich-phone-sorry-prime-is-not-likely/ and we have all heard of the verizon exclusive release. We have leaked photos and vidoes that suggest this. What if the Nexus Galaxy is the Verizon version and possibly later on, another Nexus is released soon after. Maybe the one being released later is in fact the Nexus Prime that is the GSM variation. Maybe this is just wishful thinking hoping Google doesn't release it exclusively to Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Late much? ;)

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 PM ----------

I don't really see how it's outdated... It's not an Android Phone so processor specs don't matter, as the software is hard-coded for one specific chipset. I guess the lack of NFC and LTE could be considered, but I'd rather have GSM capabilities than to be stuck on VZW. The Samsung Galaxy S had outspec'd in almost every category the iPhone4, be it in Processor, camera quality, screen size, and features, but they totally botched it up. They released 5 models, and then added a "4G" model. I picked up that phone off CL for a cool 100, while the iPhone4 16GB on AT&T still nets ~435.

I love Android and will hold out as long as I can for the Nexus Prime GSM ver, but not months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deanrobbins:
The curved screen is really nice!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x Taz x:
LOL..yes I have been apparently. I have been neck deep in a bunch of different projects....sorry about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
http://phandroid.com/2011/10/12/sou...rime-will-have-1-5ghz-dual-core-ti-omap-4460/

Guess I won't be getting the Prime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
well it's not surprising really, it was though to be an OMAP processor for the longest time

anyone expecting another exynos is out of luck

the next best thing would be the Galaxy Note, if they want exynos 1.4ghz cpu
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
I really hope google can get a nexus across all carriers, for their well being. But I also hope that the nexus' share the same (or common) specs. As a verizon customer I would be so angry to get a nexus then 2 months down the road see sprint customers get a nexus with an updated spec list. Not fair, ya follow?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DJTaurus:
Note will have the same exynos with GS2 clocked at 1.4...the new exynos which is clocked at 1.5 will debut at GS2 HD....and propably a clocked version at 1.8ghrz will equip GS3...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Intratech:
If it's an OMAP processor I'll pass on the Prime and wait on the SGS 3.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melterx12:
whats wrong with the OMAP processor?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Exactly. What benefit would we gain from a faster processor? Especially if we're getting a 1.2 dual core. Any speed difference would be barely noticeable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andassaran:
For everybody speculating what the Verizon Nexus will be called, it's the Droid Prime (replacing the Droid Charge, and overthrowing the Bionic as the flagship of the Droid line), and it's only gonna be exclusive for 3 months. I've seen a VZW roadmap chart for their new devices, and that one's definitely on it. The Droid Prime and Nexus Prime will only vary slightly in hardware (CDMA/LTE vs. GSM), the rest is the same. 4.65 SAMOLED(+ hopefully? lol) screen at 1280x720, 1.2ghz dual-core TI OMAP processor, 1GB ram, etc....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gusar321:
It's not an exynos, duh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Happy that it'll be lte. If battery life sucks ill be taking advantage of the return policy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spartoi:
Nothing, but the Exynos is faster so why downgrade if you have a SGS2? And then there is that 1-year old GPU it has....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andassaran:
And another thing... for the person claiming that just because it's in Verizon's transfer tool doesn't mean they're getting it ... look at the model number. Any Samsung device starting with SCH-.... is a cdma device. SGH is GSM and SPH is sprint. The nexus prime listed on the screen has the model number SCH-i515...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] halfnelson117:
The GT-i9250 will likely be the gsm model and I assume it will be released around the same time/immediately to the whole world. Europe doesn't use CDMA so verizon exclusivity would be useless for google/sammy. Developers aren't just in the US and this is a developer phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andassaran:
I'll admit I know nothing past US shores... All I know is VZW will have it for at least 3 months before the GSM variant arrives here. You're probably right on the GSM version in europe though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dnlsmy:
Please link to proof when you state things.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andassaran:
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Nexus-Prime-what-we-know-and-what-we-dont-as-of-Oct.-7_id21594 ... read your heart out. i got the cpu speed wrong, as the TI 4460 runs at 1.5, not 1.2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
I read it and it says that the Verizon version will most likely be released in October, and the branded nexus prime will most likely be released on the other carriers in November.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Andassaran:
Yeah, parts are still up in the air, but if it follows tradition for a US timed exclusive, it'll be at least 3 months between the Droid Prime and Nexus... Europe might get it sooner though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vapotrini:
Great, yet another site with so-called "inside information". Boy this has gotten tiring.

Not listening to a single one of these sites. Wake me up when Samsung releases the specs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Lol this. Only thing that matters is the real specs not rumors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Significa:
Wonder if Apple is going to try to block the Nexus Prime too, heh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5136614:
Nice one :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtrab:
Latest info:

According to Engadget, launch date could be Oct 19th in Hong Kong

Others say Oct 27th, anyway it has to be before Nov 3, the "rumored" Verizon announcement day according to android authority

A new leak over gadgetian from "a trusted source" (again... :rolleyes:) clocks its dual core T1 OMAP 4460 chip at 1.5GHz

Other rumors says it will be a "world phone" (remember: wimax and 1700 don't belong to "this world" :D)

SGBEST, a Singapore online retailer, has listed the Nexus Prime as "comming soon", advertising it with:

1.5GHz Exynos chip :confused:

1080p 5 MPix camera :mad:

3G/4G HSPA, LTE, EV-DO

2050 mAh battery :eek:

[EDIT] Update: SGBEST removed the specs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
If those omap, sgx540, 5mp and 1750mah rumours are true, i doubt it would be too much of an upgrade... Galaxy Note would be then the way to go with 2500mah battery. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nkhs9412235:
Maybe it will be called Galaxy Nexus

Original Size
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 5136614:
any detail about its display?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
According to BGR (and various other sites), it's supposed to be 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
yes it is, this is the only true spec, it was listed in the FCC and other government documents

so, what about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Do you guys reckon there would actually be much difference between the 5MP and 8MP? Must do some research later but I know megapixels aren't everything. I don't think Sammy would screw up by putting an average camera in compared to other devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Frodo1910:
Samgsung is kidding us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
they say it will have a SGX540 GPU. isnt that the same as in the nexus s?

i've got a hard time convincing me for the prime right now. that would be the same chip like the galaxy s, and that one is ooollld

i dont get the point why i should buy it for like 500CHF more when i can get a nexus s for only 280CHF Oo

i'll have ICS with the nexus s too

i'll have the same graphics. and the cpu? fk it.

the only thing would be the screen.

mmh...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
that's the more reason why i'm ignoring all the leaked technical spec until the real unveiling happens next week.

then i'll decide if it's worth getting it or not.

but if it's based on the leaks, then Nexus 3 is just like Nexus S with the only difference being the upgraded CPU to dual from single, and the new 720 screen resolution, from 480 resolution
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sjael:
The Nexus S used an SGX540 @ 200MHz. By default, the OMAP4 runs the SGX540 at 300MHz, a 50% increase.

On top of this, the 1.5GHz OMAP4460 drags this number up to 384MHz.

It won't be a slouch by any means. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toss3:
Wait, what? The Nexus Prime is not going to be in any way like the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnston9234:
THe new press conference is Oct 19th by the way. I am not sure if other posted already.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/13/samsung-confirms-ice-cream-sandwich-event-on-october-19/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
I can't wait until Tuesday!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vash63:
I really don't see how it could be VZW exclusive, even timed. The only FCC information I've seen point to GSM on AT&T/Tmo... it's being unveiled in Hong Kong which would also be GSM. On top of that Verizon has never even carried a previous Nexus and has always preferred their phones to be very carrier-branded, which also doesn't fit with an unlocked dev phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdw97702:
Pretty much what he said!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtrab:
That's correct and lets not forget nexus phones are Google's standard, plain vanilla dev phones. It will be a gsm unlocked phone, VZW may get the Samsung-branded variant exclusive, but not the "google phone" exclusive.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ifatalityx:
That does make a lot of sense.

I guess we'll just have to wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I doubt verizon is getting it exclusively
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoyohere2:
Well, when you think that everyone got Samsung Galaxy S2 except Verizon. Then maybe 3 month time exclusive is possible.

There is no need for At&t to sell both SGS2 and Nexus prime.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asb123:
Yes there is...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JDMpire:
I wonder how they managed to make the curved glass? You figure there are only so many lcd fabs in the world (due to their difficulty & level of sophistication in manufacturing), I wonder if its an in-house product? That is the first time I saw that in a released product.

I'm know that Samsung has LCD plants and they make their own screens both for themselves and as an ODM for others. That is really amazing.

And while were on the subject of the curved glass, I wonder if they have a special curved pcb inside the phone. I never saw that before and I highly doubt it, I'm no engineer but I never remember seeing a die that wasn't a totally flat surface on the bottom. Aren't most dies of the BGA type, how would it adhere to a curved surface...

Can't wait till the teardown on this puppy!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesC1982:
Can't bloody wait for this!!

---------- Post added at 10:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:42 AM ----------

Should also add, I am waiting to see how the HTC Vigor compares with it too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] majinbooo:
i am really looking forward to the 19th when they will announce it.

Looks awesome so far and i like the change of strategy to make the developer device top notch, the last nexus was just a bad version of the SII :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ped-Ro:
im stuck between this and the HTC Vigor... well if all specs are true about both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ikkuh61:
Great, hope it fits in my pocket :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
you do know that the Nexus S had a curved screen too? xP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
But nexus curved glass was not gorilla. I really hope prime will have gorilla curved.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
It's not likely that it will be Verizon exclusive.

Why would they announce a Verizon phone in an Asia event?

Hong Kong people will go like VERI---WHA??

If they are gonna announce a new phone in a GSM country, they better announce a GSM phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
Very good point!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickDunn:
cant wait for it!!!10.19 hong kong!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jaza78:
cant wait for this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Definitely got my interest up, I was going to wait and see if el Goog would bring a Moto Nexus. Very interesting timing from Sammy also given yesterdays announcement.. :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mulletcutter:
Curved screen? Only samsung, ill pass on this. Its sposed to fit your face when calling.....i dont make that many calls. Ill wait for the next big HTC device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
how could you NOT like a curved screen? it looks so amaaazing >.<
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mulletcutter:
I do t like the nexus s either

I hope this Verizon exclusivity isn't long. I wan't this sucker to come to T-Mobile!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] light19940120:
I like it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Looks good. Especially as it looks like aluminium back, and i think the dots are meant for a docking station a la nexus one.

if true then samsung eliminated the two biggest hardware design flaws of the nexus s (besides missing microsd card slot)!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryboto:
I highly doubt Google would want their flagship to be a Verizon exclusive....maybe Verizon is simply the only carrier that'll have a subsidized price for the phone. I really hope that's the case, else it's a Samsung Note for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] roenu:
This is a cool picture with specs and the Nexus Prime...

by god, everytime i loom at that pic i think "holy ****, that looks sooo damn sexy" >.<!!

and you guys in the USA. doesnt it piss you off that you always have to switch carrier just because you want a special phone? here we can get EVERY phone we want. unlocked, and unbranded.... x)

read the article & almost fainted. If this get's true (although soooo unlikely somehow) it would be awesome.

It just get's me thinking ... Optimus Prime -- Nexus Prime? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SiL3nTKiLL:
cant wait for thsi phone to come out :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Swiftks:
Reported to be released on Verizon only first as Galaxy Prime or optimus prime.... then soon after will be released as Nexus Prime on other carriers. Just hope that it doesn't drag ass getting to the other carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
according to the article, it's saying Google / Samsung is copying the idea from Asus

http://event.asus.com/mobile/padfone/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smirny:
Well, to be honest, I wouldn't care if they copied the idea. I'd buy the Nexus package twice over that Asus thingy.

Thinking further, there are way too few Android apps out there that are optimized for tablets. Considering the nexus devices as the number one choice for developers, it would make perfect sense to give the Prime an easy ability to give the devs access to the tablet version =)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtrab:
Maybe google and verizon will announce TWO DIFFERENT PHONES, or two versions of the phone: a samsung verizon exclusive AND the ICS developer's version GSM Nexus.

Maybe thats why two differen chips have "leaked" (1.2 and 1.5GHz)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Nothing has leaked. Only speculated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtrab:
Today, verizons system is reporting "samsung galaxy nexus" and Best Buy' s system is reporting "google nexus prime phone" . I might be right.

Google and Samsung need something very strong against iPhone 4s - despite it being a disappointment, the only disadvantage is the screen size, well, and other new features in iOS5 destroy Android.... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dakine:
These rumored specs just dont make sense. 5mp cam?? No way unless its 3d capable.

Hey Samsung and Google repeat after me...

I will optimise the **** out of the OS before adding a ton of new crap.

I will only use gorilla glass curved or not.

I will stop using nasty plastics and only use metal and glass.

I will hire some proper designers so my OS doesnt look like a puked up version of tron.

I will agree on some kind of form factor so we can actually get a decent accessory market going.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hettab:
very happy just 4 days to go
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wendellc:
Nothing wrong with 5mp camera, what are u folks doing with pics taken from phone? Are u making large size prints? Less MP means more space on my SD. As long as 5mp is a good sensor that's fast for low light, It will be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WinterAyars:
So gonna buy this phone. I don't even want to buy a new phone, but i know i'm going to see it and i'm not going to be able to resist.

I need a new job to pay for this nonsense...

Oh well, so it goes.

Incidentally, i hope it is gorilla glass or at least something hardened. I don't get the fascination with the curved screen. I mean, it's different? I think this is sort of part of the problem with Android/Google/Samsung: random stuff gets thrown in just for the sake of being there. It's like they had a meeting and someone said "Okay: glass: pretty boring. How can we make that sexy?"

And the answer was "well, we could make it curved instead of flat?"

And here we are.

Maybe i'm being unfair. It seems like they could benefit from some "okay, what can we NOT do that would make the phone better by not doing?" meetings instead...

Still gonna buy the hell out of this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NickDunn:
good luck dude.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jorge330823:
OK. I thought the same thing as you about the curved glass but having an evo and a nexus on hand I said "hey I'm bored lets do some tests". (Also had my dads epic 4g (not touch)) so the evo 4g feels big and uncomfortable in the hand. Stuff at the top of the screen hard to press I thought it may be due to large screen. Well I grabbed the epic and it was a bit easier so I figured OK so far just a gimmick. Well while holding it up to my ear it made a difference. The nexus s felt comfortable against my face. More natural feeling while the other 2 felt like books against my face. The biggest difference I saw was in direct sunlight. Say what you will about amoled in the sun but the nexus s was ALOT more clear in sunlight than the evo and epic. The curved screen really does help alot in direct sunlight. Just my opinion so don't bash me for it.
