I absolutely agree with you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimslim:
Well, a little disappointed, I wanted to buy it off contract, but with this specs, I'll probably wait for it on AT$T, or maybe some other ICS devices.

Btw, better take that useless barometer and put an sd card slot :-(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Seems to be some confusion about the SD slot, Engadget said in their hands-on that there's none.. I doubt it's there but they didn't look beneath the battery.

Edit:

And apparently the translation of the leaked Galaxy Prime advertisement refers to something like 'SDHC'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nizaamh:
Hi. Do you know if the Galaxy Nexus will be available in Malasia by Dec 2011. I am visiting there soon and am considering buying it.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodend:
Samsung didn´t deliver with this one. Something "big" is coming, what a laugh!

The only plus point is the "big" and sharp display, but it is not enough to make me buy it. So the wait for the next phone continues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Spl4tt:
srsly, what did you want? 2ghz quadcore with 2gb ram or what?

you rly think you will notice a difference between a GSII and the Prime? yes sure, the Prime will totaly blow it.

as it will blow the iPhone4s and all other phones on the market right now, even with the worse hardware.

i guess it will even blow the GSIII, even if it has better hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackplatypus:
Very disappointed :/, the screen, the notification led and of course ICS are awesome. However in terms of hardware spec I'm very surprised that "old" hardware has been used and the probably missing sdcard slot is a nogo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
What old hardware dude? Everything is new, the OMAP 4460 is not an old chip.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
Agreed... Galaxy Note with ICS and without hardware buttons, i would be in looove....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zanza00:
IMHO google don't want to have the sd card so it's easier to debug on the device...

With my Nexus S 16 GB are enough for everything
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muffinwaffle:
I'm quite impressed that ICS is already ported to G2.

Makes me happy. Of course nothing works but yeh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jobiza:
Except PowerVR SGX540...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
Interesting thanks, I wonder is it a mistake.

Edit:

Here's the Engadget quote:

Here's a quote from the GSM Arena article:

Second last paragraph.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
I think the phone is about as good as anything else right now so far all of the new phones imo have been nothing super special.they all are about the same thing nothing to new with any of it except hardware and skins and as far as hardware goes how fast does the processor really need to go. Are you going to be playing wow or something else highly graphical no. Don't get me wrong I love New hw as much as everyone else. this phone tho has new stuff which is good I think it has some nice ideas and features that others don't have and makes me want to get it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dsmitty166:
Right on man!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] haydonxda:
GPS?

GPS isn't listed in the feature list...

Did Samsung give up on GPS after their Galaxy S experience? Did they get smart and decide not to advertise GPS as a feature because they haven't been able to provide their phones with GPS that works?

I'd really prefer not having a curved face though. They should have saved the money there on that feature. It's not going to 'pocket' as well. I don't treat my phone as being more important and delicate than a baby by using a large Pelican case sized protector to put it in. :)

Otherwise the hardware looks pretty slick. Glad to see they finally made a dock interface that doesn't require lots of precision to use. The three wire pin interface looks awesome. I'm sure the screen will be a jaw dropper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Woodend:
What I don´t like is companies creating the big buzz and then: nothing (or almost nothing). As I said, the only advantage is the display, the rest is mediocre.

And by the way, you must be joking if you believe that this phone will be superior to the Galaxy S III.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
It will blow the Galaxy S2 and S3 because it's the pure android experience, none of that touchwiz crap either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
No sprint :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
I'm most concerned about battery life. 1750maH just doesn't sound like a lot... and with such a powerful and large screen... I wonder how well optimized ICS is for the batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
anyone who thinks ics pure on galaxy s 2 will be not as powerful as Prime will get a shock. The S2 CPU plus Mali plus ICS will be screaming fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Remix2011:
So basiclly they gave us a phone hardware wise weaker then the SGS2......

Going by the released sample pics the camera quality is pretty bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Has this been confirmed or denied yet I don't think it has...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenablinsky:
i don't appreciate "galaxy nexus" smartphone's name. "nexus prime" looks better than galaxy nx...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rentaric:
Most of those shots are taken with the quick snapshot feature, which disables AF. Ofc they're crap then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
+1

just a matter of time ...

... wonder how well it will run on my D1 :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
exactly

so this phone is pointless really.

when you can just buy a S2 and have a better phone and then get ICS later when its released. Only thing you will be missing is HD screen and button less design.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkropf:
This pic posted on page 72 you can clearly see a micro sd card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zlatty:
unless you're on verizon

Unless you're on Verizon ... where I guess RAZR is the only competition .... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
there's no hint whatsoever that suggest the release of prime to those 3 network if that is what you had in mind
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdw97702:
Really really hoping this comes to t mobile quick. I need a new phone now! Hd2 broke a month ago and been using a walmart pay as you go phone with my sim card in it until something like this comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kerrykerrykerry:
You must be kidding me. I have a Nexus S 4g and the screen has 0, yes ZERO, scratches on it, and I'm not particularly careful with it, I just make sure not to drop it, ever. I always keep my phone in my back-right pocket of all my pants, too. You're using a bed of nails as an analogy? That's ridiculous, it's your freaking cloth pocket...

And to everyone that is complaining about the curved screen, have you used the nexus s? I didn't think I'd like it, but now every other phone feels wrong. The contours make it feel soo much better in my hand than all the other "perfectly laterally flat" surfaced phones.

As long as this phone comes in all black, or something similar, then I'm sold. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] djfrost17:
I can not wait until the 11th!!!!!!!!

:D:D:D:D:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
just put on a screen protector, my screen still great, the screen protector took all the scary battle scars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Piosio:
sexy ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
They ugly up the phone too much for me, all you need is a little care and consideration for the device :p

Plus they are naturally very resilient now, had my DHD almost a year and there's not a single mark or scratch on the unprotected screen, even though the bezel is showing a little wear and tear.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xmRipper:
Is curved gorilla glass possible? No?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartyLK:
I'm not talking about obvious scratches. I'm talking about super fine type scratches...that are hard to see.

I'll bet you, if you looked at the screen of your Nexus S properly in the correct light and angle, you will see those scratches I mean.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Hm, the 4.65" screen is turning me off a bit. That's just a bit too large.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kevinr678:
Very interested. The curved glass is nice, and its already a given that this will be a developer's dream.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seriouser:
Really torn between this and Galaxy Note. The Note's screen might be a bit too big to use one-handed. But it'll have a microSDHC slot which is essential for me.

Would really like to try vanilla android though and not have to rely on CM.

A bit of a off topic, have they fixed the low bitpool value in A2DP in Galaxy S 2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] narta:
When using a phone you dont look at it in the correct light and angle. You just used it. If it got scratched that bad that it was showing in real world usage situation, then I see a problem. If it's noticeable in rare occasions, then its a no issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartyLK:
May be no issue to you, but to me...I returned mine. None of my other phones have those scratches and I use them the same way I did the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
Nexus Prime Launching on Verizon Oct. 27th

found this interesting, more confirmations the rumours are becoming reality

Nexus Prime Launching on Verizon Oct. 27th?

and also this

Samsung Nexus Prime show up in Verizon’s Cellebrite system
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DarkVasyaK:
Seems that there is gonna be a difficult choice between Nexus Prime and Galaxy Note :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xmRipper:
Same here..

4.3" was also big for me and then I decided to use 4.0" so bought a Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrNago:
I was thinking

Blue = Samsung (look at logo)

Green = Android...

But then I noticed ICS is cian...so that broke my thing! Ha!

EDIT: Maybe something related to phone+tablet... perfect match?

I have no clue about your knowledge, but on science and engineering, there is such a thing called "negligible".

In this case, and IMO, these minor scratches do not interfere with the use of the actual device.

Same goes for a car, for example, windscreen shield is probably full of these scratches, and probably bigger ones too, and you're risking your life there, not likewise on a phone. Imagine on a bus, it's very likely heavily scratched, but still perfectly usable, and they don't return them unless it's actually dangerous.

Maybe you like your stuff ideally perfect, but let's admit this world is not perfect, we can improve, but perfect is simply relative to the error margin there is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MartyLK:
If Samsung put actual quality into the Nexus S, the scratches would not be an issue under normal conditions. But when cloth can put scratches on the display, that is an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SubyWill:
I really hope the screen isn't 4.65" big, that's a little too ridiculous for me.

This phone won't be a Verizon exclusive either, it'll launch on all networks.

I can't wait until the 11th!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crankshaft:
Where? All I see is a battery, camera and SIM card slot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
exactly

that slot is for SIM not SD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
ditto

no sd card slot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkropf:
Ok your right, got a fascinate not used to sim.

How can you tell the difference from sim slot to sd slot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
The SIM is where the big tan thing is the SD card slot looks like it could be that small sliver where the battery is I had wondered if this is a SD card slot but kind of hard to tell

EDIT: Meh I guess its all whatever tho thought the tan area was SIM card lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
no thats the battery connector
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Yeah i figured but it does look like a spot for one almost
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
no... it doesn't even resemble a slot for micro sd

you can clearly see the battery contacts in there

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeken:
I agree. These morons at Google really had a chance to blow the iPhone out of the water but they came out with a lackluster phone that is a step in the wrong direction from the already old SGS2.

The only thing this phone has that the SGS2 is the screen resolution. Other than that nothing. I hope this phone fails so that they learn a lesson.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:

GPU.. the SGX540 turns 4 years old this November..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IPvFletch:
Google confirmed on Twitter last night that taking a picture of it won't trick it.. *shrug*

BTW with the new APIs posted, the new AVD is also in there. I loaded up my ICS AVD last night. Worked like a charm! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gusar321:
What's the point of showing photos at 800x600? Full-size photos, *that* would be a meaningful comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] onthecouchagain:
Worried about that battery life...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
The Mali-400MP GPU ain't really all that. When I was playing 3d games on the S2 they lagged, the same games played perfectly fine on my nexus S. Also the GPU is clocked at twice the speed as the nexus S, which gives it a massive jump in performance.

Also the LG optimus 3D has the OMAP 4430 which is clocked at a lower speed, and it does better in the games index than the galaxy s2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r34p3rex:
The game must've been bugged on the S2 then.. My S2 walks all over my Atrix in every game I've tested and the Tegra 2 is faster than the SGX540
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jdw97702:
Any idea which US carriers are getting this phone yet? Might have a hard time telling my wife I spending 600+ for a phone lol. While its probably worth it I would much rather get a cheaper price signing up for a new contract.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kanariya:
I find it amazing that there are so many spec freaks.

All they care is the cpu/gpu and dismissed all other features.

Good luck waiting for your ICS update.

No matter how good the cpu the gs2 has. That huge screen with **** resolution hurts my eyes. It just blows everything up. You actually get less viewing space than a 4in Atrix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
Do you have any proof of this?

The phone hasn't even been benchmarked yet.

Optimus 3D tears up the benchmarks and it's clocked at a lower rate.

Things I hate about the S2:

-WVGA resolution is too low

-TouchWiz sucks

-Update cycles will be slow
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
check this video out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfEz2en1cBI

The Optimus 3D finishes first but gets lower FPS then both the S2 and Sensation.

So in Neocore the CPU on the LG is faster then both but GPU is the weak point. With it being overclocked it MIGHT get same FPS as them too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVB6whn9Ofo

On quadrant the SGS2 beats both phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
Neocore is useless as it's optimised for snapdragons.

Quadrant is also inaccurate because i'm able to get crazy scores on my nexus S like 5000.

Smartbench is more accurate IMO.

Look at this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSeDtMYmD-Q

Although the productivity index is more on the GS2 (understanable as the GS2 is clocked at 1.2ghz vs 1ghz on the optimus 3D), the optimus 3D beats the GS2 in games index by quite a few points.

Not even going to comment on the HTC Sensation, stone dead last...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
This phone couldn't get any more bland looking if it tried. Compared to the Motorola Spyder ( RAZR) it's completely forgettable. Plus it's rather on the massive side.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kiboe:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
it passed the FCC approval listing Tmobile + AT&T

so that site is out of date
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
€590 for the 16GB, no way in hell would I pay that much for it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwertyaas:
Screen size =/= resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
£515? :confused: Ill stick with my SGS2, thanks.

Nexus at that kind of price and it has a lower spec camera, same speed processor and same amount of ram. Only the screen is larger, it has a couple more sensors and it runs ICS.

Meh, not enough value for money Google/Samsung. Sorry, please get it right next time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
I remember them doing the same thing with Nexus S. Many regarded it as lower specs than the original GS, yet its initial price was much higher. That said it wouldn't surprise me if this wasn't the final price and we see some decrease before its actually released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
its a rip off.

The Moto RAZR has the same CPU and GPU and is cheaper.

without ICS tho but still has a SUPER AMOLED display at qHD.

To be honest 720P on such a small screen is not needed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CamoGeko:
That's true about the previous Nexus, so I guess anything can happen. Even so, the only way I would consider it is if I didn't already have my SGS2.

Saying that I'd probably get a white Galaxy S2 instead. Lol!

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jenablinsky:
I love this nexus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
All these people complaining reminds me of when the nexus S came out and how it had last generation specs and I was *****ing about it for so long, even made a thread on it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=875285.

Yet I ended up buying it. I think most people are forgetting about what the nexus line stands for, it's pure google experience with no overlay crap on it. Personally I cannot stand the custom UI's that the OEM's are putting over android like touchwiz, sense, timescape etc. This translates into super fast performance and fastest OS updates. So you guys can stick with your galaxy S2 and wait ages to get the OS upgrade and have that outdated WVGA resolution.

And hey, if you don't like the specs, stop trolling and *****ing and move on and buy something else!

As for me, I'm super excited about this phone, it can't come soon enough!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nekromantik:
that would be a valid point if you cannot use stock android on any other device apart from the Nexus phones. You can easily flash stock android on most phones. As soon as ICS is out for download the Android community will get working on porting it to all devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
it already has started...

CM9 preparations are under way

sources for ICS 4.0 is publicly available

anyone with the knowledge and willing, can compile their own ICS 4.0 for whatever device they are using
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deeken:
Ohh shut up. People voicing their opinions on this much anticipated phone is not trolling, whether its positive or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xManMythLegend:
No ICS is SDK only not AOSP. Nothing will be ported onto any device until it is.

Google has given no timeline. There usual line of "weeks" meant nearly 4 months with GingerBread and never for HoneyComb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
Hey dude, I'm not bashing anyone for having an opinion, but there are repeat posts on this thread, some by the same people complaining non-stop. I mean what did you expect, the phone to be able to make you a coffee or something?

---------- Post added at 09:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

As good as a custom rom will be, it'll never be as good as stock, in my own experience anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MrGarak:
GSM Arena have updated some of the information on the Galaxy Nexus spec sheet but this still remains: "Card slot microSD, up to 32GB". :confused:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus-4219.php
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
according to some news report it's supposedly 2 weeks after Galaxy Nexus becomes available

that means some time in December 2011 if they are right
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
i'd not trust that until we get a good picture of the phone without the battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
stupid question but would CM9 be for the S2 as well if you know please
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhiral.v:
I really hope they included a SD card slot, it's stupid how they didn't include this in the nexus S.
