I didn't like the snapdragon in my rezound. It was wicked choppy. I also dont like the devices I tried with the previous tegra in them. Hopefully Nex has omap in it again.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I agree with omap5, but I would not mind a quad core s4 which that Miui phone will have. Quad core s4 which a way better GPU is out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] narta:
Nexus devices are development platforms, not hi-end devices. I hope for TI-OMAP5 variant (dual-core, quad-core is un-needed atm) beacause OMAP is more developer friendly and easier to work with. And a slightly bump to the GPU is welcomed too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
and what have you developed so far? :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] narta:
A very bad temper :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
haha nice one :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
the s4 has been receiving a lot of praise..

apparently it is much much better than any of the prior snapdragon chips
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gt-kingz:
I started 2 years ago with a xperia x10 mini. Just wanted a small and comfortable phone. After 1 year i realized that i needed to have better hardware + larger screen. So I choosed a p970 optimus black which was on cm7. I really loved my p970,from now on I liked to try custom roms & kernels. After 1 year some devs tried to port ics for the ob but ti omap hardly support the 3630 chipset, so there were not released any stable ics roms. Spontaneously I tried to sell my mobile phone one week ago. Someone gave me an offer about 150€ and I decided to sell the p970 to buy a new & better phone. There were a couple of very good offers.. Sgs3/300€ ; sgs2/170€ ; htc one x/260€ ; nexus prime/230€. The seller of the nexus was the only one answering me so i just bought it.

After one week I can say, i'm gladly happy about the gnex, excellent support and the great amoled display as before. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boe:
I sincerely hope the Note 2 will have rounded corners and Verizon will get it soon, if not I'll get the S3. I played with the S3 the other day and it just made my phone feel so dang meh. I'm hoping the sale of my Sprint ET4G and my Galaxy Nexus will give me enough to cover the cost of the new phone. Both are in excellent condition and I have all the original material so it should be close.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nadar.bsm:
I like the OMAP5 as it is dual-core cortex A15 with 2 M4 core for less intensive task.... & more importantly Unlocked Bootloader.... thats why Nexus prefer OMAP over anyother SoC....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] htcwildfireapps:
Wonder how this phone rates against a 3gs ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skyrocket727:
what screen technology current Nexus has? Super AMOLED?

Wikipedia says HD Super AMOLED :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boe:
I'm one step closer. I sold the ET4G very quickly. I'm hoping to have my Nexus sold by tomorrow. I doubt Verizon will get the Note 2 any time soon if ever because of the POS VU phone so I'll get the S3. I guess they have new colors to choose from although I doubt Verizon will get them any time soon either but hopefully they'll surprise me on either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Destroys it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] banditnich:
the best android phone I had to date :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] samizad:
Super AMOLED (pentile). The Super AMOLED Plus is the non-pentile screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I wonder what the reason is for all these phones using amoled tech. It's really not that good IMO. SLCD is much much better. I don't think I can buy another amoled phone in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ben7337:
Why don't you like amoled? The blacks are amazing. If the image doesn't fit the screen, the parts that are black just blend in with the phone. It's like every non 16:9 aspect ratio video was built for the screen all the same.

I will admit power draw does seem to be an issue though. AMOLED was supposed to save power, but I'm finding it manages to waste more, even when displaying mostly black.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Umm, insanely deep blacks that no LCD screen on the planet comes close to, vivid colors, high contrast, wide viewing angles, no movement ghosting to name a few. If you like LCD than buy a phone with an LCD. However, lots of us prefer AMOLED for the reasons I just listed, so phone's aren't dumping the tech any time soon.

Pretty sure that was a troll..no one with half a brain would even ask that question otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Maybe its just the Nexus but the screen is grainy and gets screen burn so to speak. I miss the screen on my Rezound. Definitely going slcd next time.

New Nexus?

Just bought the ATT branded One X (coming from original N1 running CM7). Not a big fan, mostly due to not being able to unlock and root it, otherwise, it's alright. However, because I can't unlock and root it, I'm thinking about putting it up for sale on ebay and getting a Galaxy Nexus or this supposed new phone from Google Motorola c. September. Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iucidium:
The rumour was 4 Nexus phones. The Xperia T could be easily made a Nexus. Only Sammy, HTC and Motorola left.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Nexus are stock android, the Xperia T has timescape UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Why can't that be rooted? It cant be unlocked and rooted via HTCdev website?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formaldehyde:
The rich blacks are awesome, but at least on the GNex the colors aren't just vivid, they're oversaturated which makes them unnatural and awful. Also the viewing angles are much, much worse on the AMOLED GNex than on my LCD Nexus S. I didn't notice any ghosting on my Nexus S, but then again I didn't like to use the phone for gaming or even for videos for that matter - the screen was just too small.

Also the GNex screen is very grainy, but I'm not sure if that's an AMOLED feature or not.

A plus point for AMOLED screens comes from the ability to use them outside much better than their LCD counterparts. A big minus is the burn-in...

So in terms of plain image quality I'd take the LCD in the Nexus S over the AMOLED in the GNex any day. That being said, I'll never go back to LCDs and their horrible gray "blacks" and washed out images when being outside.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
^^^ Erm!??!?!

I thought the Nexus S was based on the Galaxy S i9000 which is a pentile based AMOLED screen, so whats with all of the talk of LCD?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ph1l0z0ph3r:
Just traded my 4S for a Galaxy Nexus hopefully I don't regret it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgyberg:
You should be just fine. Unless you are really in to boredom! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I realize the colors are oversaturated by default, but some people like that look, and it is a quality that LCD can't match. Who cares anyway, it's easy to adjust the colors to be more natural.

...The Nexus S has an AMOLED, not an LCD. Ghosting appears on LCD's, whether you notice it or not. How much you notice it depends on the refresh rate. I could sure see it on my Xperia Play. Grainy? Huh? The only part I could call grainy on my Nexus' screen is the greys. Easy to avoid though, skin the phone to avoid greys, done. Also, burn in? I haven't encountered it on any of my devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I would say all the grain and burn in problems occurs within the grays on my phone for the most part. Thankfully there are root color adjustment tools, because this screen is yellow and grainy. Resolution is good though, and color is OK once adjusted after one finds the sweet spot for their device.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pcfanboy142:
I lost my s2 2 weeks ago and I'm looking for a new phone, I've been eyeing the nexus now that it's price has dropped to 370 euros but I'm also waiting for news on the new batch of nexus phones, catch is, I've only got 400 to spend. Do i just buy the current nexus or wait and hope the new ones won't be too expensive?

Also, what do you guys think of the GT-I9260 rumors? Is it likely Google/Samsung will release this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Save up for the next nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kurty007:
So Is it still worth it to get the Galaxy Nexus? Especially since 3 new ones are being released and the price for the GNex is already around $350 new/off-contract. I just got mine a couple days ago and I really hope I don't regret it as I am stuck on contract for 3 years... sorta....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
No proof of 3 new Nexuses being released.

Still worth getting, will be supported for years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Man, have u seen those blacks? Compare the nav bar and the status bar to the rest of the phone

Theyre as black as the lower and upper parts of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yea that's definitely a positive. But I had to adjust the hell out of this screen just to get rid of the yellow tint and screen burn issues. Its really not as bad as I am making it out I guess, but its hard coming to this screen after owning an htc rezound in the past. Slcd is kind of washed out but overall I like it better, its more natural and cleaner looking.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
It is now September, supposedly the new Nexus phone or phones are due to be launched on November 5th, just two months way !!!! Should be start seeing leaks soon ? The iPhone5 has been leaking all Summer long, months before launch, hopefully we see the Nexus-Four soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frigidazzi:
Why would people not want to develop on high end devices specs?

There's only been 3 nexus phones, and the Nexus one when released was the fastest, with the most memory, ect on the market.

Why not hope for the best tech in a nexus phone. That makes no sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
To me all nexus devices have been high-end, except for the Nexus S.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
First off the GNEX screen quality and colors are terrible. From purple tints to red tints to lines across the screen. That is not what Amoled screens are about, the GNEX just got screwed with bad screens. Look at the S3 screen. It does not have issues like the GNEX and it look gorgeous.

I heard so much about the new super lcd screens that HTC is using. Read over and over how it is the best screen on any mobile phone. So I had to stop by a Sprint store and see it in action on the EVO LTE. After I hit the power button on I actually examined the phone to make sure it was in fact an EVO LTE. It sure was. I thought the screen looked kind of dull and boring. It just lacked oomph! I must say I was not impressed but quite disappointing in the screen considering how hyped up it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MR H3LLMAN:
The GNex didn't get screwed with bad screens. SAMOLED screens as a technology are better than any other screen available on any phone ATM. The default color settings and gamma levels may not be optimal but a small amount of tweaking can fox that. You are judging the quality of screen by settings instead of capability.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Trust me, I have tweaked the heck out of the colors and gamma on my GNEX but even that does not get rid of the purple tint a lot of the screens have and the terrible banding and lines as well. I did not say that Super Amoled screens are bad, I prefer them over anything else, I am saying in particular the GNEX screens are bad and have had terrible quality control.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mick3444:
Okay than for the clarification!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stratoox:
S3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabbermacy:
yeah, it will be great in a year or so, now you want to play then GN all the way. I am in china so all brand new phones are 4000 RMB (one X, GN 6 months ago, etc). No question after dumping my G14 and SGS2 on the other family members -- I already know this is the phone I waited for. And I paid 2600 RMB :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lukin321:
I'm in the same boat. This is my first Nexus phone and I don't know how I could ever switch to anything else :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
load the liquid smooth 1.35 ROM and you will not have any lag at all. Infact when I compare it to other phones even the one x, it is way faster than them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
I love customizing phones....but when comparing them I can only compare the "out of the box" device. The actual device you get when you buy it is the only fair comparison. On a performance level the OneX is king.

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eezdva:
Hmmm.

Nice topic.

Coming from the SGS2 which is an awesome device. I bought the GN and honestly I'm not impressed.

What I like is of course the updates and the custom roms. But battery life is crazy. I have the official extended 2000 mah. And still it's kindda crappy.

Beside that it shocks me that google comes with firmwares where there are signal drops and in my case wifi is not working when the screen is off. Only with the Fugumod kernel it works.

Yes there are quickly updates . But have they been tested well enough???

Thank god for XDA but if I were to use this phone out of the box it wouldn't work.

Camera is also so so. I use it a lot. The SGS2 takes amazing pictures. Even in the dark. Not the GN.

So I will switch back to my SGS2 and will wait for the next Nexus device. I think I will skip the SGS3 . And HTX one X. Nice device but for me only phones with removable batteries.

This rumour is great if its true: http://www.gsmarena.com/google_planning_to_work_with_multiple_oems_for_the_next_nexus_-news-4252.php
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
I'm sure this isn't the first time such a rumour has done the rounds - distinctly remember discussing such a possibility back before ICS and the Galaxy Nexus were announced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
yeah months before anyone knew about the g-nex. I personally would prefer one ultimate Nexus with parts from the best oems

HTC builds it with micro oxidation that dosent peel

Samsung SUPER AMOLED HD +, and exynos 5250

12mp Sony exmor r camera with Hdr video like on their new flagship

Motorola radio and 3500 battery

64gb internal and micro SD support to 64gb like the sg3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Step666:
Yeah, I just found this article on BGR from June of last year which says:

I have to admit, it's an interesting idea.

A selection of Android superphones with, say, a couple of similar/identical features dictated by Google but leaving the OEM with the flexibility of still giving the handset their own 'flavour'.

Hmm, I'd never considered that before.

I doubt it would happen though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doeboy711:
Ok, So I am military and moved from HI to DC and now my coverage sucks where I live. I am talking with Sprint now to try and get out of my contract Early. Right now I have an Evo 3D and like it. Verizon only has 2 phones at the moment that I would be interested in, the Galaxy Nexus or the Razr Maxx. The Evo Community is thriving but from what I can tell, the Nexus isn't as much on this site. What are some of the benchmarks this phone makes on custom rom's? Any help would greatly be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
I get 3700 on quadrant with liquid Smooth 1.35 and Franco kernel.

and 22700 on benchmark & tunning trial
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doeboy711:
Has anyone jumped ship from the EVO 3D to the Galaxy Nexus, if so what did you fond that you like and didn't like compared to the EVO 3D?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -A-P-M-:
Maybe they postpone this plan for one generation. Nexus should be true flagship, but unfornately only Nexus One was true flagship for its time. IMO Nexus S was dated, and Galaxy Nexus too. IMO if HTC, Samsung, Motorola,... offers Nexus devices, there will be competition between OEM and they will introduce the latest tech.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Um, Galaxy Nexus owners don't own the phone because of benchmarks and most of us do not care about it.

If you want to win pissing matches, wait for the GS3.

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 AM ----------

How is the Galaxy Nexus dated? What can new phones coming out do that the GNEX cannot besides score high in Quadrant?

If high benchmark scores mean so much to you, why not just buy an iPhone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rault18:
[YOUTUBE]pGJWAjepYt4[/YOUTUBE]for me the GN still better than the ONE x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chakra:
Ya, I went to ATT to check out the one X, it was pretty cool in size and shape. I like how thin it is. In quadrant it killed my Nexus.

But in everyday use, of opening the drawer and opening apps and web browsing. My nexus was at least three to five times faster. everything was so slow, I would have returned it. Now I do have a custom ROM, but it was not an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tylerdurdin:
Lol

killing is my business, And business is good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xdp:
I too am comparing the GSM Nexus to the One X and GSIII. I planned to buy One X on contract but changed my mind after seeing the multitasking mess and the fact that its bootloader is locked. Am now thinking about the Nexus and using it on Straight Talk. My concerns are regarding the screen (dim, blue tint), camera, and performance. Will I be disappointed with the Nexus? Is stock Android on it smooth enough? Why would I need to mess with ROMs for this phone? I feel like it'd be nice to not have to worry about any of that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MR H3LLMAN:
I promise there is no attitude behind my word in saying this but you may have a defected screen because I have never had an issue with banding or a purplish tint. My buddy had to have his swapped out because of banding and his new one does not have that happening. Just food for thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Sounds like you have a defective screen, buddy. No tinting or banding here.

But yes, for the amount of people that have screen issues the quality control is bad. However, it doesn't mean that every Nexus has said issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
No attitude taken. I actually went through 4 GNEX devices before finally buying an S3. Some of the screens were better then others but I can tell you none of them even come close to an S3 screen. Especially stock for stock. I was able to tweak them to look much better, and god thing for that but still, why should someone have to go through so many devices until you get one without banding and tinting. And then after you find one without it, you then need to tweak the heck out of it to make it look decent.

I remember when the first night they had a JB rom out and I had to use the stock colors until we got custom kernels. Man was that rough. Once you get used to what the screen can look like you do not realize how bad the screen looks when you unbox it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] narta:
Because Google doesn't want to be competitive to other OEMS. In the end of the day Google is an advertising company and needs android in as many devices possible. As far as development goes, I you don't need high end devices to develop excluding games. Nexus devices need to be somewhat current speced but not high end
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Snaproo:
The HTC One X does have the best display on the market today. I think it's even nicer than the iPhone's "retina" UGH i hate that name.

Anyone else hear about this phone gt-i9260. the specs the guy said was going to sport the Galaxy S III's display so that means the rumored GNex 2 will have a much better screen. I wish they would just slap an SLCD2 IPS on all Sammy's and call it a day lol... good viewing angles but black's not as black. Who cares!

http://youtu.be/yqO8FIoxBVQ

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

The GNex screen does seem a bit harsh on my eyes. The Nexus S was a bit better but the display is kind of small. (but not at the time of its release though)... Nexus S has been forgotten quick in my memory though. GNex will stay a lot longer. IT almost seems like Nexus One went straight to this phone without the S ever being there....lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
the screen on my phone is beautiful, especially after adjusting the color settings..

slcd is crap imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
That was something that was leaked like a week ago. Take it with a grain of salt.

Also, if you look up the GNEX's screen it is also called an Super Amoled HD display just like the S3. It is Super Amoled and has an HD resolution. Obviously as proven by the S3, even though they have the same these screens are not built and do not perform the same.

Even the blacks on the S3 are better then the GNEX. I cannot see Sammy using the same screen and the GNEX on their next device so I would definitely expect it to be better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
So the infinite blacks got even more infinite? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boe:
I've decided to definitely get the S3 as I doubt Verizon will get the Note 2. As much as everyone in this forum seems to love the Nexus, it doesn't seem like anyone on craigslist has any love for the Nexus :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liquid150:
Right now I have no desire to move from a GSM Nexus. The pace of development is the most important thing to me, personally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheStoof:
I used to think I needed top of the line, but there's a point in hardware development with the same software where you don't notice any huge gains. JB by itself can run fine on a single core, but I like the future-proof dual core phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andresm7:
I definitely agree. having bigger better specs is always good, but that is just planned obsolescence. If you realize that your hardware is perfectly capable of handling your software, you should be fine. The Galaxy Nexus had demonstrated that and more - it runs smoothly on ICS and JB, has a beautiful interface, and stupendous support for development and customization. Even if the updates are not out as planned (Verizon!!), the Nexus standing definitely grants this phone some amazing support from the development community that is hard to find even in newer devices (Rooting and unlocking toolkits... how much easier can it be?!). All in all, this is a fantastic phone that will have no problem keeping up with the specs of newer phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] abrahavt:
Sony, LG and Samsung will all be releasing Nexus phones before the end of the year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rod3:
That is only an unconfirmed rumor.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Its a rumor. I doubt there will be 3 Nexus phones, rumor was 5 nexus phones last year. Look how much we got, 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
They don't even have to be Nexus phones, just devices. 10" tablet, chromebook, camera, anything really. They labeled the Q as a Nexus, and its just a media streamer of sorts.

Just got toroplus 2+ weeks ago from Nexus S 4g. I'm stuck on sprint, insofar as my plan is paid by employer. Love the hardware/software, but sprint...... uggh, at least in my zip (75023 - plano, tx) has been rough.

Wish I could get a better LTE signal, but, not able to blame gnex. Only complaint I have is heat / battery life.

FWIW, My firends wife got the Galaxy S3 this summer, and I had a couple of weeks with it. Could not get used to the skin, the bloat, and the dang button at the bottom. It was Verizon, and was killing the data and all, but still, can't get excited for it.

When I upgraded from NS4G at sprint, took one look at the S3, then got the gnex...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] formaldehyde:
Ah, maybe I should've told you I had the i9023 aka the international Nexus S, which does indeed have an LCD :)
