[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
The last few Nexus releases were hush hush secret right up till about a month before release. The Nexus-S, nobody really had any leaked pics, or exact details until just a few weeks before it came out. The Galaxy Nexus, was the same, there were leaks maybe two months beforehand, but nothing legitimate until maybe 6 weeks before it came out.

So the next Nexus is still coming for a November launch, I bet we don't get some juicy details until September time frame at the earliest, and the best "leaks" right around when the iPhone5 launch occurs :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ET3RNA4:
Are those even considered "leaks" or a picture of a prototype phone a Google employee leaves behind at a gym locker room when he's changing?

Huge news guys...next US Galaxy nexus reveal date! http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/20/samsung-next-galaxy/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
You mean next note ;) google will not announce it so early, they will wait around the iPhone 5 release. Nexus for the win :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ET3RNA4:
Google isn't announcing it...Samsung is, and that's right around the corner of the iPhone's release...And Samsung is supposedly working on the next nexus anyway...:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
And they are working on like 5 other products as well. Kind of hard to be sure it's the nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ET3RNA4:
Think about it logically...it could either be the;

Note 2 - seems highly doubtful considering the note is fairly new and still now even out for T-Mobile yet....

Tablet - it could be a new tablet but the Samsung galaxy tab 2 recently came out and it would be foolish to announce another tablet so recently ...

Next nexus - we've been hearing rumors about this for a while...the life cycle ends at about that specific time...and seems logical.

Something that's entirely new - now the new device could be something completely unrelated or may not even be a phone! Maybe something like the nexus Q? But it weeks highly doubtful considering its a US only announcement ...

S4 - almost 100% untrue butbyou never know...the s3 has been a huge success and they could be announcing a predecessor 4 months from now...

Honestly the new nexus sounds the most relevant to me and logical. I guess we'll have to wait :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
There really hasn't been nexus rumors so I doubt it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
I'm pretty torn. I currently have a Galaxy Note but I was thinking of getting a nexus. I love the look of vanilla JB and its almost a certainty that my phone won't get it. And I really want better battery life. The normal with my phone on my current rom is about 14 ish hours but that's turning off all data when I'm not using it. I really don't know if it will be a good swap or not. I'd hate to get it and then be very dissatisfied with the performance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
I got rid of a One X for this (Tegra 3 quad core) and the Nexus is faster and battery life is immense. First full charge, heavy browsing, full brightness (been outside watching cricket all day) I got 4hr 30min screen on time. Double the One X and faster and smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
Wow! I heard with JB it was faster than the GS3 as well. How's the camera? I don't hear good things about that lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
In all honesty it is better too. http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/C...alaxy-S-II-vs-Nexus-vs-N8-vs-iPhone-4S_id3006

S3 cam is slightly better than HOX so you'd not be missing anything with Nexus' camera unless youre an avid photographer. Shutter speed is easily on par with the HOX if not slightly quicker even.

The HOX and S3 are for all intents and purposes on a par in user experience, but with JB on the Nexus I can 100% tell you it is better than my One X, by some distance.

The only drawback is the Nexus' screen but its only a drawback because the HOX has such an exceptionally good one - the S3 screen is probably on par with Nexus - they say theyve improved the tech but I cant tell from subpixel pictures of the screen really. (I just prefer LCD to AMOLED - the AMOLED grain you see on white/grey backgrounds is a little irritating but doesnt bother me so much - they all have it my Vita does too.)

Get the Nexus, youll be so happy - after one day I can't believe I even considered it for so long, it's turned out to be a no brainer especially with the infinite dev loving the device gets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
Ok, one last question. Do you get bad wifi and call signal strength? I hear a lot of people say that's a huge issue with the Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
On JB?

I think everyone does re: wifi. Its not call signal strength though, its data and may only be for LTE variants.

Even the N7 suffers from the weak wifi issues in JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raytraceme:
Actually the s3 did not have that grain. I think they fixed that issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tmb993:
Ok good to know. I planned on purchasing the unlocked Gnex from the play store since I'm on AT&T so I won't have to worry about the data signal issue. How bad is the wifi problem though? I'm constantly on the web so its a pretty huge deal for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its not too bad, but I'd say range has dropped at least 10-15% from it. I lose signal in my bedroom, where I could hang onto it in ICS.

As long as your wifi is already strong, it won't matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Fine for me, no worse than my One X.

Franco has a Wifi booster option in his app for his kernel that seems to do nicely.

Data is fine, better than One X and you obviously get constant baseband updates with the Nexus tailored specifically
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
Just to ask which "WIFI" Booster is he using please??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
It says "Wi-fi PM_FAST" "Enable this option to boost wifi signal at some battery cost. Useful for streaming with screen off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This is the first time I have ever heard of that kernel configuration to be considered as a wifi signal booster and I have been doing this stuff for a while. I don't deny it helps with screen off activities.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drant22:
Got my Nexus after having a Droid X2, and man its light years ahead. Having a great development community this phone is rock'in with JB and no hiccups. No phone until the next Nexus will top the abilities of this thing. I give it high praise no matter what!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Thats how francos app describes it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I think its a misleading description.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
Fair enough! Im just the messenger :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Oh, nonono. Don't think I am criticizing you. I am just voicing my thoughts on it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrtraveler:
The grass is greener....lol

For me I bought the wife the SGSIII so I could play with it and the GNex for me so I could play with it. :p I do like a lot of the things that the SGSIII does that the GNex doesn't do. As a former Nex S user I am disappointed in a few annoying things that haven't changed. I like the fact that I can Edit/Delete contacts from the phones dialing menu on the SGSIII but can't on the GNex and that annoys me. I like the swipe left to send a message and swipe right to call a contact on the SGSIII. I do like the select and call on the GNex. The SGSIII has a better calculator. :eek: I can't wait for the SGSIII to get JB 4.1.1 to compare the two again.

I do like both phones but I'm waiting on the TRUE Sony Playstation phone to come out. I have the SE XPlay, but I'm sure Sony can make a true PS phone. :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyraelasd:
4hr 30 min screen time with full brightness? I got around that with 50% or 10% brightness, how did u get that ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayint Naung:
My nexus also got same battery life as galaxy S2. ie. 1 hour screen on browsing 20% battery consumption. with wifi.

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 AM ----------

I miss some features from samsung galaxy phones too.

Like T9 dialer, delete individual call log!, clipboard(multiple copy/paste), clock (C'mon google. take a look at samsung clock. alarm,timer, date/time for countries), built-in task, note (with sync) would be nice too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
No it wasnt all with full brightness, it was with autobrightness - but I spent a good amount of time outside watching cricket.

Battery life is blowing me away ATM

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjjjayd13:
Upgrade

Can someone answer this, if I sign up with Sprint for Nexus right now, am I able to upgrade without waiting when the new Nexus comes out, ie without 2 yr wait?

TIA,

jjjjayd13 ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
If you get a phone at a discounted price right now you will not be eligible for a discount later this year. You can purchase your next phone at full retail though or purchase at full retail now and discount later.

Is that what you are asking because your question is not that clear?

---------- Post added at 09:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 AM ----------

T9 dialer ends up in all custom Roms. If you are not going to root the GNEX then it is not a phone I usually would recommend to people. If you are willing to root then the features that are available in custom Roms for the GNEX cannot be beat.

The great thing when custom Roms get built for the GNEX with the latest software is everything just works. Unlike other manufactured phones where there are so many humps to get over to get a fully working Rom with the latest Google software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjjjayd13:
I heard that when you get a Nexus that you could upgrade right away, w/o the need to wait for 2yr cycle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JimSmith94:
Please post proof if you find it. My Sprint contract doesn't end for over a year, so I bought a used Sprint Nexus off eBay to hold me over. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjjjayd13:
I have no 'proof' that's why I'm casting my net for information.

Just trying to verify.

Thanks,

jjjjayd13 ;(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
Sprint will not be that nice to you. However, you can look for used Sprint Nexus on ebay or the Market here which is not too pricey.

So now that I received my SIII, I must note my unit is a used one:

-Screen: To me my Nexus screen is clearly better (I know other said otherwise). Mine SIII have the pinkish tint and the shading isn't as smooth. The pink tint problem seem to cause the edges of text to not be smooth looking when above certain colored background. SIII screen is brighter, though that doesn't make a difference in usage.

-Built: I like the physical feel of the Nexus more. Even though they're both the about same size, the Nexus fit in my hands and grip nicer. SIII back cover doesn't snap in seamlessly, that just a terrible flaw in design. The SIII is the first Galaxy phone that I'm concerned with on durability, and I've owned many (see sig), this is because I read more SIII owner broke screen, and also it doesn't have that raised frame edge where if the phone falls flat, it would protect the screen from touching the ground, it's fully exposed. I had the Nexus dropped to the ground face down multiple times and in the same pocket with keys scratching through the layer of screen protector, its still in new looking condition, I don't feel the same confidence with the SIII.

-Performance: The SIII is much faster than the Nexus hand down on both CPU and GPU. However, I feel the benefit kicks in more with custom rom, the stock rom for SIII is extremely bloat (I spent 5minutes on it before rooting).

-Video playback performance: The Nexus OMAP cpu have its own DSP that does a great job with decoding HD videos, including HD MKV. I don't feel the SIII does any better on this task, the Nexus is on par.

-MTP: They both used MTP mode by default which sucks. I know there is an app to make the SD card load as UMS.

The main factor of buying a phone for me is AOKP or SlimICS. Since the SIII is working so fast SlimICS with, I would have to choose it over the Nexus due to performance alone. However, I also fear of breaking its screen so I'm going to use double screen protector for now. Further factor on keeping the SIII depends on how soon there will be AOKP Jelly Bean version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I seriously doubt it. There would at least be some sort of time period you'd have to wait before upgrading again, that's how they make money.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjjjayd13:
So it's probably just a rumor. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Not probably, it is beyond a rumor. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] searius:
which is this app?

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlameBV:
Hey everyone. I'm curious if anyone's seen the Galaxy Nexus and One X side-by-side. I hear the screen on the One X one-ups the Nexus, and that the camera simply obliterates the Nexus camera. That said I've only seen the One X a couple times and only briefly so I don't know how true it is.

Either way I'm probably getting the GNexus mainly for the simplicity of AOSP and Google stock software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
A few pages back a camera test was done, and surprisingly the nexus camera fared better.

The screen will be better and worse. It will look more crisp, but colors will appear more dull, and contrast won't be up to par with the Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CaLiSwEEPeR:
hmm I think I might have to disagree with you on the camera. My sister has a One X, I have a Nexus and I like her camera better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eksasol:
I meant SD card only, which the Nexus doesn't have. It's only for the S3, so you could buy the S3 to use it with: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1711009

But yeah, MTP sucks so hard on the SIII, I transfer files and it freeze for no reason for a while and then continue on, sometimes going slow for no reason, with the official cable connected to a powered USB hub or directly. With the stock firmware, it doesn't even allow you to use the phone during transfer. Whoever thought transferring files becomes such a chore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I never said it was my opinion, it was the opinion of a photographer reviewing the cameras on 5 different high end phones, where the One X ended up at the bottom. They did praise the UI of the One X's camera, but that doesn't mean squat to actual picture quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
It is in bad lighting that the GNEX camera fails miserably. In good outdoor lighting I think it shines.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
That's true. It fails in low lighting or indoors
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
I got rid of a One X for the Nexus last week and the camera on the Nexus is better very slightly at resolving detail, you wont notice much difference at all in the camera quality for normal use, its perfect for the normal consumer. The One X screen though is better. More uniform, sharper and more realistic colours. However the Nexus screen is still brilliant its just that the One X's screen is THAT good, it really is unbeleivably good, like a printed magazine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Yeah, that's what they said. I agree. In well lit areas though I've been impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
Great..thanks for the reply :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ET3RNA4:
Was watching some videos on Youtube.com on the Galaxy Nexus VS Samsung S2, (Note this was a 7-8 month year old video) and the s2 basically demolished the gnex in everything. That is in picture quality, speed tests, browser tests, screen tests, etc,etc. So how is it that 7 months later (S2 now having ICS, and Gnex having JB) that the Gnex has "improved" soo much that not only does it demolish the s2 but even the s3?

Jellybean doesn't make that big of a diff. when compared to ICS...:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Its all about perception....

It does demolish those phones, software and price wise.

You get more bang for your buck with a Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
The S2 has ridiculous unrealistic colours where the Nexus seems to have a more calmed colour palette. The camera is on par with the likes of the One X for everyday use - better detail resolution etc.

The fact the Nexus has slower hardware than the One X and such makes no odds at all as you can do everything you can on the One X despite it being quad core, smoother with Jelly Bean and just as fast. As far as a real world stress test goes, playing flash on a webpage, scrolling smooth as butter whilst it plays and having tunein radio on in the background while being able to flick between them and messaging without lag or closes is as tough as it gets and the Nexus dons it (underclocked at 1ghz...) it also demolishes International One X in the battery dept.

I don't see genuinely how 4x cores are going to help anybody in real world usage until people start demanding 3d/extremely rich browser based apps on mobile - and even then youre probably crossing into tablet sort of realms. As far as a phone, web browsing, social networking, everyday photography, music, streaming and multimedia go I seriously struggle to think how you'd need or want anything more.

Gaming is one caveat but who wants to play hardcore games on a touchscreen device. Just buy a Vita (I've followed my own advice :D)

Previous phone was a One X and I could not be happier at making the swap and having a new Nexus + £150 in my back pocket.

With the One X for all intents and purposes being a S3 hardware wise, I would hazard a guess at the JB experience on the Nexus beating the current S3 too. I can't see how even the S3 with Jelly Bean can be noticeably better in everyday use the Nexus is that good with JB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
It does to me. Jellybean seems much faster in real world use with stock kernel vs ics with a 1.5ghz overclocked kernel. I have ran 3 GSM Jellybean roms and they are much faster and smoother than my GNex is with ICS.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slvrarrow:
My Nexus at 1ghz on JB is faster than my old Quad Core One X at 1.5ghz all cores
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ET3RNA4:
Wow guys, that's amazing...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
Do we know when it will come out? I bet Motorola will be behind the hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bayint Naung:
I've run rightware browsermark on a friend's HTC one X. and the result are not that impressive.

GN with jelly bean is almost on par with one X. and my previous Galaxy S2 is about the same!

Most android phone hardware is ahead of software..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tyrellcorpnexus:
I love my Galaxy Nexus.

Wish the cam was better at times in low light, but its been agreed upon so im not alone in that department, and i can totally live with it.

custom roms seem to tweak performance a bit too for the better.

<3 GNex shape, elegant front, and curved body to feel smaller than GS3 by a lot even though they're similar in terms of dimensions
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
+1 and led notification:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rilbel:
I am in the mist of buying a new phone and I am kinda wondering what to do.

I am with T-Mobile, and I honestly DO NOT want to extend my contract with them any longer so buying from them is out of the question.

I am torn between; getting an iPhone for the sole reason ALL and I mean ALL my friends have an iPhone, or the Nexus.

Thing is, I wouldn't want for a newer Nexus to come out soon like when the iPhone 5 is supposed to come out, and because of that, I also don't think its smart to buy an iPhone now when with the new one coming out in Oct prob, prices will change.

So, what do you guys suggest? Buy the Nexus or... Is a newer Nexus coming out anytime soon?

Its quite frustrating...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GrimReaper24:
Thread Cleaned.. Keep your posts on topic everyone.. No trolling about the Iphone vs Android and so on.. You know the rules..If you wanna compare feel free to but no flame wars and trash talk

​
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
The current GNex is the best deal out there IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fstall303:
I prefer nexus ... but if i was you i would go month to month with tmobile (if you want you can test out a nexus, you can get one for like a 200-250 on craigslist). test it out till the Iphone and nexus comes out at the end of the year. Then you can decide whats best for you and what carrier
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
200-250 for a nexus? I don't think even the CDMA version can be found that cheap. That's how much Nexus S still goes for.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] malikadnanm:
IPhone you'll be stuck on edge unless you're in one of the very few areas with the new T-Mobile bands. I'd get the nexus. IPhone is nice and I'd tell you to consider it if you could use it one 3g but since you most likely can't go with the nexus. If you don't have data then get the phone with the screen you prefer. IPhone is good for one handed use while nexus is good for viewing anything. Once you use a large screen the iPhone feels cramped. You can always play the waiting game and not buy anything ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
All your friends owning an iPhone is the exact reason why not to buy an iPhone. It is good to be different sometimes and besides why settle for the lesser device because everyone else has it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rilbel:
Fellas, I am pretty tech savvy so I know the differences about Android and iOS. My question was more geared towards knowing if a NEW Nexus is coming anytime soon. Thank you all for the replies, but I see that many still answer with sassy uncalled for comments about my friends and always have this iOS Android war in their mind. That being said...

The reason why I considered an older iPhone model, is because of something called Group Messaging, which diff groups of friends, all use, and I happen to be the sole one who always gets a bunch of diff messages and it is quite annoying.

Being different, being the same... They are just cellphones to me and, no one is settling. That's all. I am not into rooting or jailbreaking, past all that.

Phone has to have certain feats to me, and work well. Apple Samsung, don't matter to me.

Anyways, after some considerations, I am probably gonna get the GNexus because overall is the best deal IMO, but I like to remind some that T-mobile has refarmed their 1900 band and Vegas is one of those markets. So 3G, even if slow, would work. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rebretz000:
I remember hearing months ago that Google was planning on releasing more than one Nexus phone this fall. Has anyone heard any more about that? If so any rumors on the manufactures of the Nexi?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
I've got a Galaxy Nexus and my GF has an S3.

Advantages of the S3 over the Nexus:-

* Slightly better battery life

* More colourful, sharper screen

* Better camera

* More storage options available

* More powerful CPU + GPU

Advantages of the Nexus over the S3

* Better looking

* AOSP Android - Slicker UI

* Jelly Bean feels more responsive than ICS on S3

* Cheaper to buy...

* ...yet offers a better out of the box experience IMO

Personally I think the Nexus stands up very well.

Give me a Nexus chassis with AOSP Jelly Bean and S3 internals please!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
I think with the color settings we have available in custom kernels the GNEX screen is capable of looking just as good as the S3 screen. Stock GNEX screen, not even close.
