[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
I am sure they will be made by Motorola from now on anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gravis86:
I don't care who makes it as long as it rocks and has an unlocked bootloader. Samsung makes good phones. So does HTC. But Samsung has the awesome screens!

Here's to hoping next year's Nexus has a HD Super AMOLED+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
You're right, went off on a tangent. I still think Moto/Sony's handsets don't look as nice as HTC's (and to an extent Samsung's). Too angular and not nice enough to be a Google flagship phone.

HTC went off the boil but all it takes is one more peach like the N1/Sensation and they're right back in there.

Samsung's feel cheap, although they're far from it. I like to have a weighty phone in my hand, means I'm less likely to forget it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgtcurry:
I dont agree. Samsung has been the only manufacturer that has made a phone that didnt have a defect for me. I had 2 Droid Xs', a Droid 2 Global, HTC EVO, and the HTC thunderbolt. They all had huge major defects. I was about to go back to the iPhone but Samsung and ICS saved android for me. First android phone with an absolutely working GPS (locks within seconds unlike all the others ranging from 2minutes to never) great screen and very good battery life with roms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
I've just started to dislike Motorola's and (especially) HTC's design over the last year. If they were to make the Nexus, it'd have to be something drastically different from their normal design language. Whether the build quality is awesome or not, Samsung knows how to make a sexy sexy device.

As far as others like Sony and LG, I wouldn't even think they'd be in the running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Robi-K:
HTC and good build quality my ass. Have you ever seen an htc disassembled? It's a mess. Good GPS on an HTC? I haven't seen one yet. Although I only had 2 htc phones and 3 samsungs all I can say is HTC no more. I had the DHD about a year ago and my brother and me were going somewhere and I turned the gps on on my dhd and 15 min later nothing. The not so fun part is that I was *****ing him for having an idevice all the time and hes iPhone got lock in about 5sec. Way to proove myself ehh. I work in a mobile repair center by the way. All I say is HTC does not have good build quality at all. It's only an illusion because they use metal parts. On the inside they are a complete joke. Hope I didn't offend anyone. Just my 2 cents.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
If not Samsung then who?

HTC with Snapdragon? No ...

Motorola? All their phones are ugly ...

Sony? Please ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuel109:
They should let sony make it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MagicMan3:
Why would I? They seem to have done a pretty decent job of building the Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuel109:
Why hate on sony? Because they dont release dual cores until 2012 nor quad cores? That's because its not needed!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Who agrees dual cores run Android nicer than single cores?

/me raises hand

Who thinks Sony only builds their devices with only whats needed in mind, in order to pass the savings on to the consumer?

/me does not raise hand

Who thinks Sony just wants to save themselves a buck?

I can play that game too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuel109:
Not really, because i know samsungs better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Contradict much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samuel109:
Nope. I never said Sony was better. I just prefer there design and ui where as there hardware works fine on it. Ofcouse dual core will work better than single core.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Baladeen:
is a sony footstool the same as a sony ottoman?

should I upgrade my ottoman to a footstool?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
I think it'd be pretty sweet if Google could shop it out piecemeal (the firmware would be a nightmare, but one can dream...), using:

Motorola's Radios (and lately with the Maxx, battery w/slim profile)

HTC's External frame and build

Samsung's Screen (please stick with the contour as well) & camera

TI's

latest

and greatest CPU and GPU

The Qualcomm GPS chip the N1 featured (or later edition- none of this multi-purpose Broadcom stuff. The GN is fine but about 1/2" as accurate as the N1 was)

Missing anything?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It will cost you 299 dollhairs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
So the Nexus is half an inch off from where the N1 would place you?

The horror!

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phishie:
This +1 on the battery. I'm hoping the MAXX sets a trend for Android phones, they all should have batteries like this.

I also wish they had used the same camera as the SGSII and thrown a OMAP4470 in there over a OMAP4460. Although, those could be as much Google's callas Samsung's.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgie168:
dumb thread is dumb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Ha! (missed that, sorry I've been playing in dimensions annotating CAD stuff all afternoon) yeah, I mean it is negligible (like 2m accuracy versus 5m), but watch it during navigation sometime, there are tiny little "flurbs" every so often. And the fluctuating accuracy adds a good half a mile to my runs sometimes (on a path of known distance, and which the G1, N1, and Atrix only slightly over-estimated).

Not life-ending, but annoying sometimes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheShoura:
I'd prefer the style of the Nexus One, just in the size of the new nexus

I prefer HTC phones over anything. Yes they might have initial issues, but at least those issues get fixed eventually. My Vibrant still has the same problems that it had on launch day from like 1.5 years ago.

My HTC phones (G2, Nexus One) had issues but had fixes out almost immediately.

I also prefer the feel of build for HTC phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Google supported devices had fixes out almost immediately.

Imagine that ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
defintly samsungs quality control is just appalling never have i swapped so many phones trying to get one free from defects :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The Gingerbread Man:
This is my very first Samsung from a long line of Sony's. I found Sony to be lacking in hard specs and wanted something with less bloat ware.

For me getting the nexus was the obvious choice as Samsung clearly are at the top of the android tree being able to build last two nexus, I mean surely that's an honour being able to have Google saying we want you to show off our latest software on your great phones and current android flag ships.

I think the other manufacturers have some catching up to do personally imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fatman42:
...no, I don't. I didn't own a Nexus S but I used one and liked it. And I really like my GNex. So I'd happily own another Nexus by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigajr:
I have no problem with Samsung hardware. I am very happy with radios, GPS and build quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I think Samsung have done an awesome job on the Galaxy S/Galaxy Nexus. It would be nice to see what Motorola could do though, or HTC :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
No google should stick with Samsung. They make powerful devices and the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus were/are amazing.

Love the design, build quality, choices, everything Samsung does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kindatired:
I don't mind Samsung but I do believe they make middle of the road phones when it comes to build quality. I would prefer to see someone like HTC have another shot at a nexus.

I have no problem with the phones hardware just the build quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zenoran:
Samsung is the best hardware IMO. Especially the screen. They've always been lacking on notification led but got it right this time! No complaints from me and I usually always have some kind of criticism.

Best phone ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
All the HTC phone's look the same, are super heavy and you may say good build quality but metal doesn't equal good build quality. Also they cheap out on all of there devices its rediculus.

NFC is obviously where google will go next time so it wouldn't work with HTC phones.

I don't think google would pick Moto because of peoples/OEM fear over the acquisition.

I would't mind sony but I don't want one more over a boycott because of there music label tbh.

LG is hell no.

And if they chose samsung they should choose them all the time :D.

I think HTC should release the Gx series of devices for stock android with keyboard, Samsung for the Nexus. Motorola for Droid series (I know its verizon).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
Honestly if some manufacturer made a phone that is light , good screen, good battery life. Then I'd be very happy.

I'm talking like beats audio + razr maxx battery + samsung's lightness and screen .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lobrau:
I think that it should be built by google themselves. Unfortunately they haven't done any so it probably would start as crap. Samsung has a nice build IMO, I like the metal designs of HTC but they have problems with antennas and stuff (I had a sensation and it sorta had a death grip).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
I say no to Samsung next time. You guys can rag on HTC or LG or Sony or Moto or whoever, every manufacturer has had problems, it's about how severe they are. LG has proven they can't make a good high end phone, but I know quite a few people who have those cheap optimus's and have zero problems. Samsung had so many problems with the Galaxy S series it isn't even funny.

The nexus is a good phone but it doesn't scream high end, and neither did the Nexus S. I think google should pick somebody else so it doesn't look like they are playing favorites.

My vote goes for asus, they are up and coming in the tablet game and giving them a boost in the phone arena would be a very good thing. Also when they delayed the transformer prime so Google could help them get ICS ready for it showed they were willing to play ball with el goog.

I think next time Google would design it completely and then get a manufacturer to make exactly what they tell them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Well considering the nexus project rotates among manufacturers, Samsung should not be the next manufacturer.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I have liked the build quality (metal != automatic good build quality) of the nexus s and gnex over my three HTC phones, n1 and g2 .. the g1 was a tank though.

Not saying the n1 and g2 were poor, just the Sammy phones were just as or more solid feeling and lighter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epix4G:
How does it rotate HTC made first and Samsung then....there has not been any other manufacturer ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rye&ginger:
No, I feel the Galaxy S, SGS II and now Galaxy Nexus are the clear leaders for Android hardware overall.

Even Touchwiz has improved to the point that people like it. There is a reason other companies are announcing they are making changes to their business plan...

I prefer the way Samsung makes phones. Lightweight plastics.

Not sure why anyone is complaining about the glass. Seems the same as my Captivate. Im not using a screen protector for 3 weeks and using it the same way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matt30:
Motorola was intended to get the third Nexus project but because of the complications in the acquisition of Motorola Mobility they went with Samsung for a second time. It's part of the reason the Gnex comes with an OMAP processor (used predominately by Motorola and made by Ti) instead of a Hummingbird/Exynos processor (manufactured by Samsung).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
There's a very simple reason why Samsung should not make the next Nexus phone for Google, and it is as follows.

Nexus phones are not a priority for Samsung, but they are a priority for Google.

This means that it will never get the very best hardware that is out there all around, Samsung does not release it as Samsung flagship device, they release it as Google flagship device. And Galaxy Nexus performance is about the same as that of Galaxy S2.

What is Galaxy Nexus missing? A bit larger battery in the same form factor, 2GB of RAM for keeping more tasks stored in cached form in memory, better CPU and a better GPU. Hardware for these things already exists, but Samsung held back.

Google needs a partner that has Nexus as big a priority for them as Google itself does and I think that Motorola, whom Google is buying, might be that partner. Razr phones have been good and the only thing Motorola needs to get straight is the design aspect (their phones look good, but not sleek/stylish in a way Galaxy Nexus or HTC phones are).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
Wrong on several points. One, no phone has more than 1GB of RAM. Why would you expect the GNexus to have it? I've rarely ran low on RAM. Secondly, at the time of development, the TI 4460 was the absolute best hardware available that supported LTE. Samsung did not hold back. Google picks the chipset, not Samsung.There had been rumors dating to early last year that Google picked TI as their reference chipset for ICS. OMAP 4460 is the second fastest SoC available to android phones at the moment. The fastest is the Exynos, but it couldn't be used for 2 reasons. One, Exynos doesn't support LTE. Two, Exynos is only available to Samsung. By picking TI, ICS would be much easier for other manufacturers to develop for as they can/do use the OMAP SoCs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sucker4pa1n:
My Incredible is awesome; but I never had issues with LG's non-smartphones before my Inc so its possible LG *could* succeed, even if they've failed thus far.

My Nexus seems fine for me, functions great. Asus makes epic products for PCs, so if they hopped into the mobile market I'd be curious to test them out. In the end, I don't even care if Apple wins the bid and manufactures the next Nexus as long as the old features get better, new features keep rolling in (hopefully somewhat polished before introduction), and there is never a *downgrade* in function.

No offense, but I don't give a flying hoot if my phone looks like a pile of crushed walnuts glued to glass as long as the cell signal works, GPS locks, accelerometer responds quickly, processor works, RAM/processor/GPU is adequate for software demands... I'd simply find the walnuts to be a nice grippy textured feel.

This all said... Sharp makes some awesome phones in Japan (can't wait to go there...4 months left stateside!) so let them try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
I'm perfectly happy with the quality of my Galaxy S (aside from the GPS...) and now the Galaxy Nexus. But I wouldn't mind if someone else gets to make the next Nexus.

You'll have some tradeoffs with every manufacturer like materials, size, weight, shape. But overall Samsung did a great job with their last few flagship phones and the Nexus Line.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] reuthermonkey:
I just don't want HTC or LG to make the next Nexus. HTC's designs are tired now. LG's designs are better, but still don't come close to Sony, Samsung, and Moto.

I 100% disagree. The Droid Razr MAXX adds almost 2mm in thickness and 20grams in heft to the original Razr. While I realize Verizon Nexus users are already using a thicker Nexus than everyone else on the GSM version, it's good to keep in mind that most GNex GSM users are already able to pretty easily get 24 hours of battery life and don't need that much extra heft. And for those that do, there are extended batteries+covers already available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] philipdeane:
Hopefully Motorola with Intel chipset...

Xda Premium on GSM Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leoni1980:
I am the happy owner of a Galaxy Nexus but I would give the next incarnation a wide berth if HTC made it. I have owned very few devices made by them that haven't had issues. The poster who mentioned the HTC Sensation as a device of note is clearly off his rocker. It has a MAJOR design flaw that allows dust to continually get under the screen, repair after repair (I personally sent mine back to Regenesis via HTC THREE TIMES and each time it developed the problem again; another Sensation I went to buy second hand already had a small amount of dust under the screen amd two I looked at in Cex did). It also has terrible wifi signal. I've noticed that signal reliability is pretty crummy on HTC devices. Regularly on my Incredible S (which incidentally was swapped THREE times at Carphone Warehouse for different faults) the signal would just stick on upload only until I switched airplane mode off and on again . The same would happen with my Sensation AND with the HTC Evo 3D which I recently acquired from - and sent back to - Asda Direct.

All in all I've found this alleged 'build quality' of HTC phones to be a bit of a myth. I've had nothing but issues. Even my original Nexus got dust under the screen, and my ex housemate's power button completely died. I'm not making any of this up, so can you blame me for not being confident in HTC? The fact that they rush out big flagship lineups seemingly every six weeks doesn't fill me with confidence either - do they actually TEST their phones??

Also, I might as well be the one to reveal to everyone that HTC use crappy generic components . Their camera hardware is almost always abysmal, and their chipsets are just over-the-counter jobs that they know nothing about the intimicacies of. SAMSUNG MAKES MOST OF ITS COMPONENTS SO THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.

That's my take on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FC1032:
Hmmm its kinda a tough call to just say NO SAMSUNG.

There are a few things I do like about Samsung:

* Amoled, and even their LCD aren't that bad

* Their own chipsets are usually faster than the "normal" android chips

* the design of the Nexus SO FAR have been quite unique and different to current phones

* Durabilty seems to be ok despite their "cheap plastics". My tab seems to be doing fine.

A few things I'd like them to improve:

* Please, Please, PLEASE... Metal chassis. I know some people might say they prefer the plastic cause its lightweight... but Metal oozes premium a bit more than plastic, I'm sure it can be equally durable.. They can do it for the Bada devices, why not the Android

* Quality control could be better, there are threads indicating bad screens for the Gnex.

Overall, I'd personally like HTC to be the main builder, but use the Sammy parts (screen and chip): Kinda like the Nexus one. But if you were to ask me to choose who to build the next one, I'd still choose samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Urg no.

Metal feels cold and uncomfortable to touch. I quite like our hardened plastic phones. It gives a much better, sophisticated and advanced feel than any amount of metal or iGloss ever will.

If you are one of those "build quality" nerds, remeber that "build quality" which all iPhone owners keep screaming about? Remember how that plays out in the real world when faced with actual stress and damage?

Yeah. Let's not in the name of "build quality" makes our phone into things which are actually pieces of **** which cannot take a fall. Let's not do that.

That sort of lame **** is for Apple users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] biffsmash:
Samsung build quality is excellent. But the back cover design is awful. Better back cover will do nicely and.fix samoled so greys dont have strange grainyness to them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lynxboy:
No I don't agree. Samsung hardware is currently head and shoulders above the competition. Just look at the quality of the SGS2 and Galaxy Tab 10.1. Their financial success also reflects their position as market leaders.

This isn't set in stone however, no reason why any other company couldn't surpass Samsung in the future.

The wild card is Motorola due to Google's recently acquired stake, however they would be loathe to alienate Android partner OEM's by appearing to keep the Nexus (i.e. the latest Android developments) in house.

Little known fact.... Samsung were ever so close to building the Nexus One, but lost out to HTC over some minor disagreements with Google. They went away and released the original SGS which aside from the RFS and GPS issues, blew the N1 out of the water hardware wise. Google were quick to realise their mistake.

Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oreoferret:
As a previous HTC Evo (3 of them) owner.. please do not let HTC build them :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
I love samsung, owned 2 dumbphones, a galaxy s and the sgn, all by samsung(i'm juz 24 now!) Anyways, i love the samoled, love the build(i love the sgn build, dont have to worry about screen shattering everytime i drop it due to plastic chassis, plus metal skeleton adds heft and premium feeling), love the port locations, shape(not a fan of the gs2 shape and design tho), aesthetics.

Only thing i would change would be the battery tech, but samsung is already tking care of that this year. So no, i dont want the next nexus to be made by ne1 other than samsung.

HTC? hell no! My gf has a hd2, and while it looks awesome, that snapdragon has no end to its issues.

Motorola? maybe. My dad uses an OG milestone(droid) and i love the design. And its sturdy as hell. Keeps on getting dropped, never breaks.

LG? I bet they could crap-up the update process of even an nexus. lol.

Any other company? no thank u.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kalavere:
I'm very happy with the Nexus, it's the first Samsung phone I have owned since the D500 which came out when, 2004?

I'm very happy with it, excellent screen, decent build. The only thing I can complain about is the thin back cover.

The last HTC I bought from new was the Desire HD and that had a terrible build quality, I sold it and went back to using my Desire for another 18 months.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
No, why would i? I've changed a lot phones in my life and every single of them had it's own pros and cons. Galaxy Nexus isn't exception here, but overall i'm very happy with it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
I'm sorry, but Asus showed us only tahat they can make tablets with keyboard and how not to make software and back covers. TF101 (I have one since they showed officially in my country) stock software is crap. After thousands of updates browser still crashes randomly. It is nice that They push updates quickly, but I'd prefer if they shouldn't do that in the first place.

Transformer Prime and his magic back cover is such a huge design flaw that it beats even LG G2X software.

Personally I'd prefer that HTC would stay away from Nexus devices. N1 was far away from perfect (hardware)... Many seem to don't know or forget about it's power button design which HAD TO FAIL, and it's multi-touch-less screen thanks. And what about their design? Every single HTC phone looks the same for me. Hardware-wise many of them are the same too. HTC likes to push over 9000 devices with different housing and/or OS and/or size. Today I saw that leaked video of sense with ics... Maybe that is way I'm so angry.

Nothing personal, just my thoughts. :rolleyes:
