They do make high quality hardware. I just hope that they'd make a non "Droid" looking model for the Nexus. Bring back normal corners and cut out all the chrome and ugly ****. I too would like to see a huge battery like that. Don't care if its not removable. By Q4 2012 with that battery technology they can push something like 4000mAh into a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
i don't want motorola make the next nexus device.

if it's happen in the future, i expect we'll see nexus device with locked bootloader LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
My problem with Moto is that they typically pick poor SoCs for their devices whereas Samsung consistently has the best SoCs on the market. Also, my previous atrix felt cheaper than the Galaxy Nexus. The only thing Moto has going for them, in my opinion, is their radio hardware/quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rem3Dy:
Do you even know what a nexus device is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
I really hope LG doesn't make it, I think they should stick with Samsung to make their Nexus devices, I'm really satisfied with the GN build quality and design and LG has very poor design IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] loveact:
dude,i'm using nexus since nexus one days long ago and now i'm using the GN

my statement above is just a cynical expression towards motorola and their locked bootloader sh*t policy :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LuffyPSP:
I prefer HTC or Samsung! Both are the only design that i love. or maybe have Sony make them!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Nothing really wrong with that....IMO LGs problem is software! They have great hardware and if Google is in charge of the software, I see it going pretty well if u ask me

I would personally want a Moto...LG just feels...unsophisticated or something like that. At least Moto makes great devices and leaves a good impression to me. Some people say they're the most loyal manufacturer of Android phones.

I don't know why people in this thread are saying the Moto Droid 1 was a "Nexus Experience" device. It did not receive updates from Google, nor could it be rooted without using an exploit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmett:
anyone who believes that Motorola is not going to make the next Nexus is deluded. What Google says and does are two different things.

They are looking for a unified ecosystem like Apple
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nexcellent:
OG Droid was a GED/Nexus experience device? This is completely new news to me..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
Eric Schmidt has been quoted that they set up a firewall between google and MotoMobility. A unified ecosystem would destroy android's market share. All google cares about is that more android devices are sold. They're also under heavy scrutiny from the EU and US. There's no benefit for Google to go the way of Apple anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stereoprologic:
I'm pretty with Samsung - why would they wanna change? :/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MS.:
If next Nexus is from LG - i'm buying something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ravynmagi:
I'd prefer Samsung not make the next Nexus. I get the feeling the Galaxy Nexus is the red-headed step child in Samsung's Galaxy line up. They never made a 32GB GSM version, they took months to release it's accessories (still waiting on my dock). I just don't think Samsung really has any interest in this phone doing well.

Manufactures definitely care far more about their own branded phones with their own skins and such. And I'm worried LG would just be the same way.

That is why I prefer Motorola do the next Nexus. Hopefully Motorola would feel a bit more responsibility to do the phone well and have more interest in seeing it succeed and do well in the market.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cablemike01:
I had an optimus 3d before my gnex and it was a good phone. The build quality was solid and the screen was great. Performance was great too. Battery life OK unless I used the 3d then it went to hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
I actually would love to see Motorola make the next Nexus Phone. There's so much potential with Moto. They hardware, in general, is top notch. The RAZR and RAZR Maxx are prime examples of that. Steel, kevlar, gorilla glass? Holy ****. 7.1 mm thin? Sweet damn. 8.9 mm thin for the 3300mah battery? Sweet Baby Jesus. Motorola is doing things with their hardware design that NO ONE else is doing. Not to mention that their radios are indeed the strongest in the industry. A Moto Nexus device would erase all worries of root and encrypted bootloaders, and to the person who was saying that Moto chooses poor SoC's...

You do realize my friend that the OMAP4 in the RAZR variants is the 4430 right? The same family as the SoC that powers your Galaxy Nexus now? It's a powerful chip. Motorola has a long standing history with Texas Instruments. And Texas Instruments OMAP5 processor is introducing some amazing things. 28nm manufacturing, WiLink technology to support all the radios directly on the one chip INCLUDING NFC, ARM CORTEX A15 cores, and 2 M4 processors to handle all the media needs like playing music, handling transitions.. Oh, and handling the camera so it's able to record 1080p at 60 Fps AND snap a picture simultaneously. Its scores are actually beating out the tegra 3 at the moment. It's also worth mentioning that it's using dual core PowerVR SGX544 GPUs by Imagination Technologies. Four times more powerful than their competition at the moment.

Check out this article:

http://feeds.engadget.com/~r/weblogsinc/engadgetmobile/~3/6xjPetNi6js/

Because if you're trying to say that Motorola is not choosing well you are sorely mistaken.

Plus, Texas Instruments also makes the most Powe efficient processors on the market. Honestly what more could one possibly ask for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
TI is consistently late to the party with their chipsets. Their A15 SoCs won't ship until next year at earliest. Samsung will be the first to the market with A15 chips. Exynos 5xxx series already started mass production a month ago. OMAP 5 won't start mass production until next quarter. Also, most Motorola phones were Tegra 2, unless they had LTE, which had to be OMAP. Tegra was and still is a huge flop. Tegra 3 is being crushed in most benches by a dual-core device. I wish the GNexus went with Exynos, but due to a variety of factors, they didn't. Motorola displays are a major issue as well. Motorola just doesn't make good displays. The display on my previous Atrix was just bad. Also, battery size isn't all that matters. The SGS2 had a smaller battery than the Atrix by 17%, yet both devices had very similar battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
You make a lot of good points lol but I guess my thought process is that the next Nexus Device will most likely be shipping out late fall through winter right? It's not like the device is coming out soon. The OMAP5 could be ready in time for a Nexus device. Google and T.I. Have a good relationship as well. It's one of those things that just make sense to me I guess. Motorola does make some pretty crappy screens lol I have no choice but to wholeheartedly agree with you there. But the fact that they are moving to AMOLED, however slowly gives me hope. The display on the OG RAZR actually isn't that bad. Granted pentile technology needs to die, and quickly, but the SAMOLED HD display is also pentile and doesn't really suffer for it in any way. I think if they had gone with that resolution for the RAZR, people would have thought it looked remarkably similar to the SGN's screen. But the technology is only going to get better. And Google is very decisive on the hardware that goes into the phone. If they felt the screen was underwhelming they wouldn't allow it.

I really want a Moto Nexus next time lol I'm tired of Samsung not using their best for the Nexus line. LG and I have a terrible history, and HTC.. Well I'm ready to give them another chance after seeing the One series. The material that their chassis' are made from looks incredibly tough. I wouldn't mind a Nexus device from them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jayrod1980:
But the razr Maxx is as thin or thinner than the nexus and gets much better battery life. Comparing the atrix instead of the maxx with the form factor it has relative to battery life is a poor comparison.

I love omap, but its not going to matter all that much because EVERY chip maker other than nvidia is going to be using the imagination technologies powervr line in the next year or so. Apple of course and Texas instruments... but both Samsung and qualcomm signed contracts for their gpus. I think that there's going to be little difference among the makers other than battery life and radios for these new upcoming phones. Ti though makes sense as it is the most open with its chip sets. An open dev phone makes sense with an open chip set like omap.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
I'd go back to Motorola before I went to LG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirRomie:
Samsung's hardware this year will obliterate the competition. By late this year their A15 chips will be ready for phones, their display technology is worlds above the competition, their batteries are supposed to be much larger, they are supposed to have bezel less displays, and they are supposed to have a ceramic chassis. Why would you want any other manufacture to make the next Nexus? If that is the specs of the S3 that is coming out and the S2 was way ahead of the competition then the Nexus can have similar specs. And idk about the rest of you but I don't want a new Nexus with a worse display than even the pentile HD screen on the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gene_Bailey:
But here's the thing.. Samsung rarely ever puts the same materials into the Nexus Line as they do with the Galaxy line. The camera being one thing. Don't get me wrong, I love Samsung products. I've had the SGS II and I loved it very much. However what I want is to see the absolute best a manufacturer has to offer. Samsung hasn't brought that to the table, ever. I feel that HTC, Sony, or Motorola would be the ones to really bring it, so to speak.

Its just my two cents. I want another TI Processor because they are indeed wide open. All of their source is made wide open and available. Having had a the Sprint SGS Epic and then the SGSIIE4GT Epic Touch, I haven't really been thrilled with source being released. And I can't expect Samsung to just completely open up their Exynos like that. I can't see how they'd want to with the wild success they've had with the SGS line. Don't forget that the Nexus is a developer phone. It's for devs to model on, and for geeks like us to utilize in ways that we can't with consumer level phones. If it was made by Sony or really Motorola.. It would give them a chance to chance to make up for all the crap they've given our community. A chance to display some cutting edge stuff, and a chance to make a comeback. Sony could regain popularity in the States if they did it right, HTC could become a king again, LG would start to really be recognized and might be forgiven for the G2x. But what does samsung gain?

They don't have much reason to put they're all out there and shoot for it because they already have a VERY strong hold over the market when it comes to being an android handset maker. Google won't show favoritism to any manufacturer, not Moto, not Samsung. But I really don't expect samsung to make the next phone.

That said, I do expect them to make the next screen! Lol Google will probably contract them for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] d.e.beatup:
The core driving factor on all new flagship devices will be LTE connectivity, given the huge amounts of dollars the carriers are investing into building out their networks and refarming existing 2G spectrum.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been under the impression that Exynos doesn't play nice with LTE, hence the change to Snapdragon on the TMO SGSII and Skyrocket (TMO was for HSPA+, but same story). I used to think people over-exaggerated the performance dip from Exynos to SD, but after hands on with both, it's definitely there, regardless of clock speed.

As far as the manufacturer of the next Nexus, doesn't really matter to me as long as how a previous poster said, they give us their superior effort. By time the GNex makes it to US carriers other than Verizon, it's going to flop because the SGS3 will have made it obsolete. One thing that a Nexus device should be counted on is at least being somewhat future-proof.

Count me in the minority, but I wouldn't mind a dark horse player swooping in and knocking out the next model.

Xperia Nexus

Optimus Nexus

Droid Nexus

Nexus X

Just no Pantech or Huawei lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeicator:
I don't see your point with LTE when the chip is going to be brand new. Why would Samsung cripple themselves when LTE is the big new feature for 2012?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
That's because it is Google's phone, and Samsung are likely just filling Google's order for specs from day one.

With any other phone the manufacturer builds it, maybe mucks around with some bloatware for the carriers, but then they get the profit margins all to themselves. The nexus has a different path to store shelves. Google is obviously paying for the right to brand and contracting Samsung to build the device. That means the two have to agree on a price that splits the profit margins between them. That means a lower rate of return than on a typical device.

So what are a businesses options to keep the margins normal? First, raise the price. The Nexus is already priced as a high end device so the market won't bare much more. Second, reduce cost on hardware. And that means it won't get top of the line specs. Ever. And I don't think it needs the best hardware. It accomplishes what Google needs as is: puts a device in the hands of manufacturers and app developers to showcase the latest o/s, help them keep up to date, and help the Android ecosystem flourish. And the mass market will gobble it up because of the rapid ota updates to stock.

Samsung has claimed the high-end of the Android market. I don't think Google really cares about having the Nexus capture the high end, so Samsung's 6 month old hardware components will do as well as anyone else's. I'd still rather see the Nexus with Samsung or HTC than LG.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smeelious:
I'd get an Xperia Nexus in a heartbeat. (Honestly the S should have been the current Nexus...)

But, I kinda hope google takes a different approach...

Sony Camera

Sammy Screen & memory

Moto Radio

Tegra Proc (Mostly because Tegras tend to launch the same time as the nexus...if the release schedules line up...why not?)

Hopefully designed by Sony and built by Moto.

In my pipe dream world this makes perfect sense.

Is there a way to monitor ram on ICS? I know in GB, you can see ram in About phone.

For ICS, that option is gone, is there anyway to monitor ram? Or is there anyway to add it back?

I know there are widgets, but can anyone recommend me a good widget that uses very LITTLE ram.

On ICS I get aroudn 160MB/404.4MB Free

And with browser open and a few application there, I get around 60MB free.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
OP, don't listen to this person! I had the T989 and made the switch to the Galaxy Nexus (GSM version) and it's been the best decision I ever made regarding a phone. Sure, there is an occasional gaming issue but that's not because the phone can't run it...blame the app devs. The speaker is a little weak but there's apps to cover this issue and also I believe I read the volume has been increased in the 4.0.4 leak. The display is WAY WAY better than Galaxy S II. My recommendation? Do it! You won't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
What he said. I keep bouncing back to the nexus. It's a keeper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] azsl1326:
I just switched from the TMobile SII to the Nexus - actually won it directly from Samsung. So far I love the phone and don't really have any regrets about switching. I actually have more complaints about Verizon's network than the phone itself. After all the hype about Verizon's 4G LTE network, I expected the network to be better. First day with the phone, 4G was down half the day. Also, I am really surprised in the areas that I am not getting 4G, but rather 3G. I didn't really seem to have these issues with TMobile and 4G never went down. With that said, when I am getting 4G it's super fast.

In regards to the phone, I love the amount of development for it. The SGII's development was pretty stagnate. This is a huge plus for me and one of the main reasons I switched to the Nexus. Not sure if I would ever want to get a non Nexus phone again. In regards to the hardware, I would say I don't notice a big difference between the two. Actually, my Nexus is getting higher scores in Quadrant and Antutu than my SGII. I am not a hard core gamer, so take it for what it's worth. I haven't taken enough pictures with the Nexus to compare to the SGII, however, I really liked the SGII's camera and the fact that it is 8MP compared to the Nexus' 5MP.

HTH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KeithRVA:
I will only list some of the cons of this awesome phone, so you can maybe decide. The gps is dog slow. The battery life is mediocre even with the extended battery. No Google Wallet out of the box. No sd card slot, if that is important to you. People will bash your device bc they are jealous. Otherwise, it is a fantastic choice on vzw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] montrealguy:
Well I've actually had both. I started off with the white Galaxy S2 - boy it was a really beautiful sleek phone to look at. I knew that pretty much all the hardware specs were better on the S2 than on the Nexus, but after a while I was getting fed up with not having ICS (the ICS modded roms ported to the S2 just weren't doing the trick.

So I found someone who took my new S2 and gave me a new Galaxy Nexus. And YES- it had all the same problems the previous poster described: lags, slow gaming, very low volume in both the ear speaker and the loudspeaker, and battery drain.

But the lag/slowness and battery drain was resolved after I installed the AOKP rom, and the loudspeaker was resolved after I installed the Volume+ app. However, the ear speaker is still very low and I have no idea how to make it louder.

That being said, the only two benefits to the Nexus is the larger screen, and that it has the latest Android version. Almost every other spec on it is said to be worse than the S2, including the camera. But I'd pick having the latest Android version over a better camera any day.

One other thing that bugs the hell out of me with the Nexus is that the front-facing cam only records video in 720p---it doesn't allow realtime Skype videochat in 720p or even 640, or even 480. The best I got was 320x240 which is the same resolution I got from my webcam in 2001, eleven years ago. Even the S2 transmitted in 640x480 on Skype.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmmarck:
Truth. The amount of flack it gets out of jealously--mainly because of its name--is ridiculous.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
Yeh you'll probably be disappointed with the lag compared to the S2, unless you want to root and install a custom rom on the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dxtra:
There's hiccups here and there with the stock launcher and I agree. A lil disappointed but believe me is not as people make it out to be and hopefully is a software issue.
