Some of us are out here in the cold with Verizon contracts. No Nexi for us....

I'm not sure what I'm going to do. VZW has the only LTE in town until at least Q1 2013. Not to mention I'm under contract until June 2014
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
I dunno what I'm going to do yet. I'm using an htc vivid that I got by biting on the early upgrade earlier this year. All and all its not a bad phone, on paper better than the galaxy nexus, but dead software wise from both htc and xda developers. It's got ics 4.03 and its not getting updated further. But I dunno I got a nexus 7 and love it, wanna compliment it right. At the same time I got a 3 gig data limit so I need storage. I got a 32 gig sd card in my vivid for music purposes and I would much prefer a 32 gig nexus for that very reason, but I'm hearing 8 or 16. That sucks. Honestly this shouldn't be an issue, flash memory is cheap, they could silence everyone complaining about no sd by just throwing in 32 or 64 gigs of flash.

I get sick of hearing the "to keep costs down" excuse. The nexus 7s 8 gig chip is only $13.50 in raw cost and the 16 gig is only $22 in raw costs. No real excuse imo. If they wanna keep costs down, use a tegra instead of a snapdragon!

I doubt there's gonna be an LTE Nexus this time around...thisll be sold thru the play store as unlocked! Google could surprise tho but I bet they'll just have u get the incredible x instead

i think with the qualcomm S4 the possibility of LTE is very high also the Optimus G has LTE so why not the nexus, as for the storage i am very positive that there will be a 32GB (32GB optimus G) but i also hope for a cheap 8GB
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would have agreed with you if they hadn't used the APQ8064.

The radios onboard don't support LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Because the radios aren't LTE supported...only hspa+

There is an pretty good market in the USA for LTE, and its only increasing. So I believe in multiple variant s on the Nexus 4, one of them being LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mongonexus:
within 2 weeks of ownership with the vzw nexus around new years, i said to my woman this will be the only nexus ever from vzw, but its possible with soc,s that google could sell a worldphone ?? any thoughts
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I hope your blind faith pays off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Not possible unless they drop the APQ8064 and use a (probably) more expensive SoC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
it depends on the baseband chip with the APQ8064 the optimus G has the MDM9615 which i think supports LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
But not CDMA. Making it decidedly not a world phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
Who even cares about lte. You guys really like bragging about your speed test scores or something? It's useless unless you have unlimited data. I have an lte phone, and it features HORRENDOUS battery life! If I had to do it again I probably would of gotten a non lte gs2 with my upgrade, or if I knew they were going to sell the gnex unlocked on the play store I probably would of gotten it instead.

How fast of data do you need on a friggen phone anyway? Pandora doesn't stream any better on my lte enabled vivid vs my 3G only captivate I had before. Actually I had to switch to slacker because pandora would draw so much current from the lte modem, my phone would overheat and shut off at will.

So I don't see what the fuss is about. When they kill off limited data plans it will be useful then, but right now it's technology ahead of its time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yes, what a waste. Who wants cellular tech to move forward? Such a bad idea!

Also for the record, 2nd gen LTE devices are MUCH better on battery. You had a 1st gen and they do suck (GN included).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Agreed...LTE is just a joke! Especially seeing as they don't give you any extra data but use up twice as much by using it! Its just a battery hog for a little extra speed

Lte is the reason my phone has extra security measures dealing with the RIL that pretty much make AOSP support next to impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mongonexus:
with vzw 18yrs, but im prob gonna try a gsm nexus next, wanna try att or tmo in my zone,,lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
I know battery life is improving but still 3 gigs of data really does make it just pointless. As far as play store model goes, it pretty much goes without saying it won't have lte. Carriers have that stuff locked down
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Man...I'm so excited for Monday!!

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Is it pointless? Its not like you use more data due to a faster connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
It's pointless because let's face it 3G is all you need for Web browsing, and streaming. LTE could really give you an advantage of downloading stuff but hell if you say install a game with a gig of data, a third of your data is gone for the month so bam your connecting to wifi anyway to grab that large file.

It's not going to make your Web pages load quicker. It's not going to make pandora sound better. So what is it good for exactly? Unless you're on sprint and happen to be in one of the 5 cities that actually have it, well nothing really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
The more people jump on lte bandwagon faster the more hspa+ bandwidth for me. But knowing atnt's cheap ass and slow buildout they probably have the back haul lumped together so atnt users won't see any benefit from lte users using less hspa+ bamdwidth

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
True but the whole point of lte is being able to download things faster...which means people will get to their cap faster cuz they'll wanna take advantage of it...like the above guy says, u can download a large file but then most of your data is done for with that one file! So pointless to have "faster speeds" when most use WiFi anyways! Just a marketing term for carriers to charge more...

Or if you're on Verizon and in 1 of their 270 markets or AT&T and their nearly 100 markets. I understand man, you've never used it so you don't quite get it, I was in your shoes...until I got it. Web browsing is 10000x better over LTE than it was over 3G, everything loads faster from Pandora to Web to Facebook apps and, oddly enough given my device and it's LTE woes, it is a more consistent connection for me than 3G was. Literally the only downside to it is the battery life, which is God-awful on the Nexus compared to just 3G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Remember what it was like to buffer?

Yeah, me neither.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
Actually look at my signature. Look up the model number. Not only is this an LTE phone, it and the Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket were AT&Ts first 2 lte enabled devices. And I live in Indianapolis, thanks to hosting the Super bowl, we got lte here pretty quick. Speed is impressive but the battery life is a joke

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
Progress is good. Having a wireless connection faster than most peoples home internet though.

Keep in mind that Verizon and sprints 3g is just terrible though. So if that's what you're used to then lte is welcomed.

For us that have getting 5 plus mbit for quite some time now on gsm phones lte is just a pointless battery hog.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
I can see the point of Verizon and sprint having it since they don't have the luxury of hspa+. But it's not needed on gsm, I mean I have gotten speeds of 12 meg down on hspa +, that's how fast my home network is.

If sprint and Verizon get a version I'm certain it'll be carrier subsidized and have lte. Does Verizon even sell non lte smartphones now?

But I think sprint failed hard with lte. How much did they spend on their wimax network only to leave it incomplete and abandoned? And how many wimax phones did they sell before making the switch?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Sprint will get their LTE rolled out. They just sold their souls to SoftBank to accomplish it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
See at&t would be better off spending that money on finishing their 3G network they left incomplete and spotty. Remember Verizons "there's a map for that" commercials? They weren't lieing and 3 years later its not any better. You go outside a major city you're on edge which is pathetic imo. This is why they have limited data now. Once the smartphone boom took off their towers became terribly overloaded. It's not fun. I'd like to be able to stream music on a road trip but as soon as i get out of the city I'm on crippling 2G
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You could solve that problem easy with a bigger GB phone and more real local music you know you will like. :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
....u guys think all u need is 3G???

Lol no no no. I used my brother iPhone 4 to look up my school's website really quick and it took forever(1 min and still had a quarter way to go just to load the site) to the point where I asked my friend who had a RAZR to look it up and it was done in a matter of seconds. Please. 3G is a joke now a days. 2-5mps vs 20-30mps. HSPA+ is nice but u ppl talking about 3G is good enough. Wow.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
2-5mbps doesn't take over 1min to load a web page. Something else was wrong there.

At 20-30mbps, your phone's hardware is a limiting factor to how fast you can do things with that data.

HSPA+ is completely fine for about 90% of what people do, and just slightly slower than LTE for the other 10%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I did admit HSPA+ is nice and I'd trade LTE For a GSM Nexus if its the only way I can get one.

And it's my brother's iPhone 4 on Verizon. And u live in a really good place for 3G. It's just slow and takes a while to load stuff.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Slacker101:
They weren't talking about Verizon's 3g, they said specifically said CDMA carriers. CDMA 3g was laughable compared to GSM in terms of speed. On the other hand CDMA 3g coverage is and was generally better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
Your friend with the iPhone was holding it wrong.

Find somebody with a phone like the att gs3. Speed test on lte and HSDPA+ with good signal. Then browse the web on both networks. Notice little to no difference.

Or just actually use a lte device and see if you notice the speed differences in daily use without a speed test. Go somewhere in town with really fast 20mbit and somewhere that you pull in 5mbit. Unless you're downloading/ uploading large email attachments, files, and so on you won't notice the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
So on the lte subject I'll be fair and say if it has it I don't mind but it's not a deal breaker if it doesn't. But if they are selling it on the play store only then you can just about bank on no lte

I really wanna know how much it's going to cost. I really don't wanna shell out $500 for a 16 gig nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slow88lx:
I will not switch to a limited data plan on a GSM network unless the phone has an SD card slot or 32GB of storage. I either need unlimited data or large device storage.

I really don't want a skinned device, but my next one might have to be. That is very unfortunate. My love for Android will suffer if I can't get another Nexus device on Verizon.

4.2 had better include some amazing improvements because I'll be stuck with my GNex for a long time.

If I go to GSM I'll trade battery watching for data watching, that is not an improvement!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
T-Mobile unlimited data. :)

Not the same 20+ Mbps speed as vzw.. but, unlimited data is better than speed any day. Plus I get 12+ Mbps anyways... not complaining!

#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Unfortunately T-mobile has approx the same coverage area as a Victoria Secret thong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Not for everybody....I have full service everywhere I have gone and need to go! And at least 10 Mbps data

Sprint unlimited with lte.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If I was to leave Verizon, it certainly wouldn't be for Sprint.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
There isn't a good carrier imo. Either pay out the ass and deal with data limits with Verizon and At&t or get unlimited everything with sprint and Tmobile and pay a reasonable amount and accept the fact you may not always have coverage. Just no in between
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Well Verizon just put the GNex at $230 off contract. All my boost/virgin/metro friends were excited and are begging their parents to have everyone get a GNex

And there's a reason why sprint offers unlimited everything lol. I think ppl can guess why. :p

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
Awww Sprints valuable just like the rest if your area(s) have the service. At home and in the city I have Lte so it functions for me. But I'd agree Verizon in the best all around(except for data).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
That may be true for you but going by sprints track record and the fact they started selling lte phones before they had any public lte going just does NOT make very many people go hmmmm...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IT_Blackbelt:
Couldnt they just get the phones from the play store for about that much?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Boost and MetroPCS are CDMA, so no. Not to mention play store costs more.

Lol wow that's a great idea guys. Imo the Verizon nexus is the better one anyway, it's got lte and 32 gigs of storage! That being said I dunno how good the lte modem will do ya with prepaid

This makes no sense (in the context of the post you replied to). It's not the phone price that makes Verizon and AT&T expensive, it's the monthly service.

Already sold my Galaxy Nexus, and I'll most likely jump into this as soon as possible.

At this point, I don't care if it looks like the Galaxy Nexus, as long as it has a better screen, everything else is a bonus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cor-master:
I just hope the 8 gigs of storage was prototype stuff and the real deal has at least 16, preferably 32 (but not holding my breath)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
Its 3mm thickr. And 2gs heavier. Thts nthn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
You mean ,3mm.

It is just a little thicker than the gsm gnex and thinner than Verizon gnex. Both phones with stock battery.

Bottom line it is basically the same size. Except the samsung hump is gone. Most likely it is going to be the case that lg is a little thicker but actually feel smaller.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
its a little thicker but doesn't have a bump at the bottom like the GN so overall it should feel thinner in your pocket
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
I just realized that render is fake. It has a status bar that only a Rooted User would have on AOSP. Since when does Google put the Clock in the middle of the status bar and uses a Gummy Battery % indicator.

So it may still not be the final version. Might be a lil different. Not sure if anyone else caught that.

Hoping it's thinner, better screen, and has less bezel. Three things on top of my list. Battery IDC, used to the 2-3hr screen time.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
I personally don't care if it's slightly thicker than the GN. As long as it has a better screen, better camera, better battery life, and better performance, I'm good.

Although the screen there isnt a stock Android screen, that is pretty much what the phone is going to look like. The only alteration that could occur is a multicoloured X at the back.

You do know that could be 4.2, nobody has seen it yet. Very well could be real. I also noticed it right away. At first I was looking at the icons to see if anything changed and ya the clock was in the middle. I think I like it better there.

G2x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adamhlj:
Yes, I don't think I EVER heard of a good thing to come from the G2X. With that said, with every HTC device I have ever owned, they have ALL had problems. HD2, N1, G2, Sensation, and One S probably rebooted once every couple of days or so. I never rooted the HD2, N1, Sensation, or One S so I don't know how this might have helped the issue. But still, I don't have much positive to say about any of these devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Yeah I'm not a big fan of the back of the LG phone, but I'm not ready to jump off VZW yet and I'm not sure that I'll give up LTE even for a stock experience, so this Nexus doesn't really affect me.

I'd give up LTE and even unlimited data for a cheaper plan with at least 4GB high speed, a friendlier carrier, and HSPA+.

-Brought to you by Marino's Galaxy Nexus-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Not the iPhone 5. Because of LTE incompatibility it isn't currently possible if you are building an LTE phone. That's why the next Nexus will have a unlocked GSM without LTE and then carrier branded ones that most likely will have LTE. Maybe in a year or two we will see phones support all the LTE configurations on a single chip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:

I would say 4gbs is around the average for me on HSPA+. Its more than worth it for me at $45/month. You gotta watch your streaming a little and do things like store music locally on straight talk though.
