They are not the same as saying Google is announcing a new nexus but the oem is doing the updates. That is idiotic.

Google does provide the updates for those phones anyways. Carriers just hold up on approving them and legal crap that prevents Google from releasing factory images

Keep dreaming if you think Google is going to release code to asop and leave it to the OEMS to update the devices.

Google will support its nexus /GED devices. That is what they are made for

Guys, let's try and keep the discussion polite and nonviolent. Everybody has their own opinion and while you may voice out your disagreement, there's no need to call people or their ideas, idiotic. In other words, let's agree to disagree then. Cheers! :)

I am not calling anybody in the thread a idiot at all. If it comes off as that I apologize.

I am referring to all these people with their bs sources / rumours and stuff that is completely made up to get web hits. Who ever said that nonsense on CNET is the prime example. You see reports from that person / source saying anything. Ignore them l

Yeah, I also don't consider CNET very reliable either. I'd rather read reputable tech sites like The Verge or Ars Technica.

I was just conveying the information whether it was true or not. It's hard to tell what kind of the thread this is meant to be, hype thread, informative thread, or just open discussion on anything related to lg nexus. So Im sorry for getting your balls in a tangle.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Nobody has anything in a tangle. People take things the wrong way and think everything is some kind of attack. Its not. Its let's filter out the stupid nonsense from rumor mills.

General discussion we have to push the bs to the side in order to actually discuss the device. Another example. Some blog ( read it on pulse while in the bathroom and can't recall which/who said it) said the new nexus that goes on sale on the play store won't have a lte radio because Google wants to keep the price down. People read this bs and believe it and run with it.

Back on topic the prototype does have a notification light.
[Nexus S General] Ariozo:
Will get it same second it come to the store here .)

Many folks "hate" LG for their Bad support and uppdates, but they normaly have very nice hardware in their phones.

So with the hardware many talking about, s4 quad,2gbram and ips disp. and more it wil for sure be a fun phone when google handle the Os, and also LG not lock it like they usaly do in their own phones.
[Nexus S General] SkyandDirt:
Review of the prototype has just popped up here. Just a question, does "with Google" mean anything different than just "Google" on the back of other Nexus devices like the NS and GNex? I've seen Lg put "with Google" on the back of other non-nexus devices before such as the Lg optimus one.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
It means you are looking at a prototype of a phone that is yet to be released. Don't be concerned with that is printed on the back

[Nexus S General] Mister J:
That's pretty ignorant, you don't even know how LG is going to handle a nexus device. Also, nexus devices are always updated by Google so you don't need to worry about updates and such. If you gave a reason as to why you won't buy a LG Nexus, then maybe I could see your point of view. But to automatically discredit the phone before it comes out is not very smart.

Lg has excellent build quality! Optimus s was a beast. Period.

Looking forward to it..time to upgrade this old trusty phone
[Nexus S General] TechNoir:
Are there any like me who base their decision for their next phone mainly on the audio chip? After using a Nexus S, and owning a GNex for a period, I really want equivalent audio quality to my Nexus S. The Gnex was not horrible audiowise by most tests, but after alot of going back and forth, daily use and audio comparisons, I really couldn't stand the audio on the GNex, despite the advantages in other HW.
[Nexus S General] das_webos_transformer:
The audio on the nexus s isn't that good, IMO.
[Nexus S General] supern0va:
umm

Retina display is an Apple technology. Keep dreaming fanboy.

Why is it called a Nexus then? Because it runs stock? That's a sad rendition of the OHA's guidelines. I know LTE Gnex isn't technically AOSP, but that's because of the proprietary binaries / blobs to get CDMA running on it.
[Nexus S General] apatal:
Hmmm.. That's weird because a couple of my friends, one a very credible dev, with the Prime claim the GNex sounds way better than the Nexus S.

After hitting up the voodoo app, OK, sounds pretty good!
[Nexus S General] Mister J:
I had an Xperia X10 and it was a very splendid phone. The one problem I had with it? Worst call quality ever! The person on the other end sounded like my volume on the phone was at minimum. My inspire 4g and one x don't have this problem though, although the loud speaker on the one x is often said to be low by reviewers. I don't have much of a gripe though, the headset audio is fine for me.
[Nexus S General] aladin6:
Here is why, i bought an LG Black before my Galaxy S, poor software/firmware support and especially poor hardware. How? I fell it out of my pocket by lack of attention, as it can happen to any other person, and the phone will no longer charge. By cons, my Galaxy S1 despite "crashs" it still worked without problems and I sold it at a good price last month. Not to mention also the previous LG phones before Android appearence(smartphones). Hate LG and will never ever buy a smartphone from that company!

AND RESPECT OTHERS OPINIONS!
[Nexus S General] nolook:
i just got voodoo sound and really like my nexus s sound now...will be hanging into it for awhile unless what's below happens...

most important for me is form factor...Will Google ever make a normal sized nexus like the s3 mini/nexus s?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
Unfortunately, no.

Agree with the sound quality which is why I switched back to the Nexus S aswell. The Qualcomm S4 devices are supposed to have good sound quality though, assuming the Nexus will use it.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
The gnex sound is worse than the nexus s. Then DAC in the nexus s is just better. Add in the voodoo driver and it is down right awesome.

I would not trust anybody that says other wise.

Retina display is a apple buzzword. All it means it has a high enough PPI your eye can't see the pixels at a normal viewing distance. It is not a technology they own, just a marketing buzzword. They made, scratch that, they used a LCD/IPS screen with that PPI that's all.

So you dropped a phone and something broke. Don't blame lg. Blame yourself for dropping it. My brother dropped my nexus one and screwed up the USB port as well. I never thought for a second to blame HTC.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I think we all need to remember that everything we see and hear at this point is prototypes, mock-ups, rumors, and hearsay. I'm not prepared to try judging the thing until I at least know what the final release product specifications are.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
Yeah I think people are too wrapped up with retina. There are devices that have higher ppi than the iPhone5 such as the Sony acro HD. And ofcourse most devices have 720p screen now which is higher res. Then we will have things like the Oppo Find 5 which will be 1080p and 441ppi compared to the iPhone 326, and their phones are thinner too. LG of course is one manufacturer that supply retina display to Apple and they make IPS LCDs for many phones too, and of course almost 15% share of TV panels in the world.

True you it is your fault if you drop it, but people who pay $650-700 for a device would like it to at least last, and people should be more demanding of manufacturers instead of rolling over. I'm not interested in paying that much money for a fragile device (see: Galaxy S3), if you search Google you will know how much it cost to manufacturer devices like the iPhone5 and how much profit they make, even if you account all the labor, distribution and other costs. I dropped my Galaxy Vibrant that isn't worth much many times and it haven't scratch or break. Why is there a perception that the more expensive a device is, the more fragile it should be or you should 'baby' it? Not all people have erotic relationship with electronic devices (however, Samsung and Apple fanboys do suffer from it).
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
I don't want things to break and I don't want them to be pure piles of crap but you have to be realistic at the same time.

I dropped this phone on the floor a couple of times. It did not break. I also dropped the nexus one a few times and it was fine. My brother dropped it and it damaged the USB port. Not all drops are the same of course. First drop can break your device and others will do nothing.

I don't baby my devices either. No screen protectors or cases for me.

As consumers we can't actually expect to have the materials and design of modern smart phones used today and be mad when they break when dropped.

Our phones would still look like the rubberized nextel work phones or any phone its otter box case. To many people seem to want their cake and eat it too.
[Nexus S General] BenHeng:
My previous phone was a lg. Rock solid, water proof... my sister had the same model and drowned it a few time in alcohol. I might still be using it if it had a capacitive display (resistive aged badly) and could handle WiFi/3g.

I have a strong faith in lg devices. They have shipped elegant devices (important too).

If it's a "true nexus" (fast ota) I'm pretty sure to buy it (my nexus's battery is agonising but that's a pretty cool phone otherwise and I might be reasonable enough to keep it)

[Nexus S General] TechNoir:
Well, The GNex to my ears has a fairly obvious difference in stereo field representation. Basically elements panned left/right in the stereo mix are louder than centered elements, compared to the Nexus S. To me the Gnex is less dynamic because of this, you get a more "wall-of-sound" stereo field since many times the dynamic elements, snare, kickdrums etc are centered in the mix, whilst non-dynamic elements like electric guitars, ambient synths etc are wider in the stereo field. The centered elements have a much harder time to cut above the rest.

However, the Nexus S just kills the Gnex in transient reproduction. I've compared the two phones side by side, EQ-band by EQ-band, and the GNex falls apart in the 4-16KHz region by comparison. Particularly the 6-8 KHz, where you have the snap from snares and the click from kickdrums etc, is where the GNex fails, by sounding uneven in frequency reproduction, and most inportantly lacking in the dynamics. Basically the Nexus S really spikes/snaps the higher frequencies, while the Gnex is alot more muted. Gnex sounds like it is playing through a slight filter, which both holds the punch back a little bit, and also muddies the clarity a bit.

Not a scientific test by any means, but I could definitely pick them out from each other from specific frequency bands, and when listening casually, the Gnex always made my ears tired more quickly, since it doesn't have that crystal clear transient reproduction.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
The Nexus S use Wolfson WM8994 dac, Apple tend to use Wolfson in their devices, while the Nexus use the TI TWL6040. If you look at the RMAA frequency chart, the Nexus have a big roll off on the trebles. Even outside of the RMAA test, the Nexus has better clarity and with the benefit of Voodoo kernel and direct audio output. You can ask Supercurio about his opinion on the Nexus sound and he'll tell you its not very good.

[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
The LG Nexus looks nice but so does the galaxy note 2 my updates in December so I'm going to see which one I like better & by then I'll see if there are other Nexus device from other OEM but what I want is a Samsung Nexus with arm cortex A-15 CPU & Mali-T 604 GPU :D
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
I sold the original Note due to lack of AOSP-support, not supported by Cyanogenmod and slow updates. Although it do get cm10 and aosp rom ports eventually. Otherwise its a very good phone. I don't see why Samsung can't update the Note to have the same feature as the Note2, but likely they won't do it, the first one is unquestionably more durable than the second. I would only get the Note2 if I absolutely want the features it offers, such as dualscreen multitasking, which is so cool, or a business/artist person who need the stylus. Otherwise the 4.7 and 4.8" of other phones isn't far away in screen size, not to mention there will be 5" phones with 1080p screen coming.
[Nexus S General] leerobson99:
A friend of mine has note 2 and omg its fast and the multi screen **** is awesome too. I nearly got one but rumours of lg nexus started and well, I just thought nexus all the way. I can't be doing with waiting for updates, my tf101 isn't getting jb so it seems and I gonna have to root it which I did not want to do so I'm pretty much sticking with nexus devices from now on.

Sent from my Transformer TF101
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
I am kind of scared of 1080p on a phone. Even a 5 inch phone.

That resolution is just to high. Would need to do something with scaling like how the macbook with retina display does I suppose. Then you got to power the display. Takes a lot to drive a 1080p resolution.
[Nexus S General] eksasol:
I would love to have 1080p screen actually, it would actually make remote desktop and web browsing usable. Text size is no problem due to the dpi settings, if you look at the Note for example, its actually running at 320dpi, and the text and icons are clear. Now if you were running 240dpi at 1080p in a 5" display, yeah that would be hard to read. I'm pretty sure with quadcore cpu and gpu these day will be able to deal with the resolution, devices that large will likely have decent battery capacity.

As for being a 5" devices, yeah that a bit overkill.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Able to deal yes. Worth the battery price to deal with it is another story. Gets even more scary with the non removable battery trend these days.

Looking forward to seeing a hands on / legit review of the device coming with that screen though Just very sceptical of it being useful and not just a useless spec race.

I dunno why People hates LG..

LG has best display(better than Amoled, imho...Less battery draining, no more battery-saving wallpaper, No burn-in...etc)

But I hate iphone-like battery type..

And why people likes htc?...Their hardware-making sucks- like yellow tint display(it's hardware problem, yellowish spot...; leaking lights from niche of display and device body; button got out of order many times.. etc)

Software problem doesn't matter because google makes it..

This is just my opinion:)
[Nexus S General] anshumandash:
Looks like the new Nexus will be announced on 29th October. There are some new specs released, but seems like it will be thicker & heavier than Galaxy Nexus. Not a really good thing. :(

http://androidos.in/2012/10/minor-new-details-surface-in-the-latest-nexus-4-leak/
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
It is 4 grams heavier. Big deal. Weight period is marketing pointless junk IMHO. Used to be people liked heavy metal solid feeling devices. Then this entire lighter crap somehow became a talking point / feature came about.

Its slightly thicker. Big deal. It has a much bigger battery than the gnex and has no hump at the bottom.

This entire it is a couple of grams heavier and a mm or two thicker is nonsense to me. Like children bragging about numbers on a spec sheet.
[Nexus S General] dpeeps74:

[Nexus S General] styckx:
Yep.. Just like the "thinness wars' we had a few years back with tablets.. I was dying at the morons breaking out calipers and crap to compare tablets. Yet sadly there were just as many morons who ate it up too.. smh..
[Nexus S General] chevlar:
I would take way more thickness and heaviness for 20% more battery.
[Nexus S General] Corioli:
+1
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
The only place weight is important is a tablet. They can actually weigh enough to get fatigue in hand if used for a extended period of time. Like if you where using one to read a book.

I just had to look up the weight of my old phone because I did not know what it was and this little conversation made me curious for the first time ever about weight.. 130g without battery.

Now to look up the nexus s weight. Its 129 grams with the battery. But like OMG the 9023 with the slcd weighs in at 140 grams.

The other dimensions I don't know or care either.

Its like all these garbage reviewers that just open the box and read off the specs of the device and skip through the home screens have infected the world with that nonsense.
[Nexus S General] anshumandash:
Well everyone will have their opinion. if you don't mind that extra thickness and weight, that's good. But I would prefer a thinner phone. That's the reason many of us didn't like bulky Nokia phones in the past. Galaxy s3 has a bigger battery than galaxy nexus, still it is thinner & lighter than the gnex. I was hoping the next nexus will be similarly smart.

Didn't Samsung release a 2100mah battery for the Galaxy Nexus? Yes they did.
[Nexus S General] ipmanwck:
LG will release 2 phones. 1 lower spec phone which will be nexus with 8mp with like 16gb and the optimus G which will have 13mp camera and lots of storage probably.

I have my eye one 2 phones the optimus g and HTC butterfly j which looks amazing and has 5 inch 1080p screen.

LG makes best led screens that's why apple use them and LG has patented led technology and really lead the market in screens at an affordable price.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
The gsm galaxy nexus has a 2000 mAh extended battery. Which added extra bulk to the phone. Enough that it required a new battery door.

The Verizon one got the 2100 mAh one. Which made the phone even bigger. The stock Verizon phone is of course thicker than the stock gsm version of the gnex. Nobody was going omg the Verizon is thicker oh no! When it came out.

All current gen smart phones are thin. This entire one is .1 mm thicker / thinner is nonsense.

By the way the stock Verizon gnex is thicker than the lg nexus. 9.47 vs 9.1. While the stock gsm gnex is 8.94mm with a 1750 mAh battery. So if the leaked specs are right it grew 1.6 mm in thickness while gaining 350 mAh of battery and loosing the samsung lip. But OMG it got thicker on the spec sheet! Let's not even mention how the OEMS measure thickness at the thinnest part of the phone either.

Like I said before. This entire discussion about the dimensions is nonsense.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I wouldn't mind a few extra millimeters if it means the phone won't die on me during a day of heavy usage.

I really wish they made a nexus that wasn't almost 5". One of the things I really like about my nexus S is that it's a reasonable size in the hand. The iPhone and 4" android handsets are comfortable to hold in one hand and use. I haven't tried to use a 4.7" phone like the Galaxy Nexus for any length of time in any real scenario, but it seems like it's too big. Somehow the LG Nexus manages to be even larger.

Still my Nexus S is getting long in tooth, though CyanogenMod 10 is helping ...
[Nexus S General] Keanu4:
That's true... getting bigger and reaching on 5inches is like getting a tv in hand .... The inches thing started with 3.5inch from iPhone days onwards and the competition is on going... I have my Nexus for less than a Year and I think I can hold on to this for a few years easily. Its pretty handy and does all the job. Nexus S is still is a pretty good phone even now.

May be you are right .. instead of getting bigger screen, faster dual core processors.. they can work on innovations. Some new kind of products. Like wearable watches or something .. integrating the Car Music Systems and all that would be so cool. :highfive:
[Nexus S General] BenHeng:
Watches already exists, glasses are being developed...
