[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Well lets see again.....I have both Nexus One (since day one) and Galaxy S (also since day one, zero wear on it with multiple falls).

Outside casing and size/weight: While I agree that Nexus built quality is better and some say that extra weight is also good....well Galaxy has one big battery door and thats pretty much it and it weights less < whats the advantage here ? If your Nexus falls, the extra weight and Durable Teflon coating will scratch and/or dent and you will not be able to replace it. With Galaxy S you can drop your phone as much as you want and due to less weight and plastic cover there isn't much damage to begin with, and if there is damage, it will cost you $5-10 bucks to get new battery door cover. (or just use the 2nd one that comes with phone for free)

Hardware-wise: 4'' SAMOLED...do I need to say anything else here ? Its the best touchscreen to date and its not coming to HTC ever or in near future because its made by Samsung. and extra 0.3'' really does make a big difference. GPU is also the best on the market to date. CPU probably the same or Samsung is better, 16GB of storage vs 0, Speaker is the best i've had in a long time and its not even comparable to Nexus, GPS about the same, Camera: Nexus is sharper, Galaxy S has better colors, and low light performance better then Nexus with flash, 720p is amazing in Galaxy, Galazy also has TV-OUT (for movies and for OS), Nexus has flash light, trackball, status light, and noise cancellation.

Touchwiz and other software are also a bonus. why do you think CM mod has touchwiz features ? Because on top of all Android feature, touchwiz has many extra feature built-in to the OS. Also Galaxy S has mkv, avi, divx, and xvid support and surround sound decoding (for TV-OUT and for head phones).
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
ps. extra weight is better is a myth too. I was used to Nexus when I bought Vibrant and it felt weird and too light in hand. After I used Vibrant for several month and then jumped back on Nexus, then it also felt weird and too heavy.....

less weight is advantage if phone falls and when its in your pocket.
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
Galaxy S is better, N1 is inferior. Get over it.:p
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
Who was talking about N1 vs galaxy S features?

If you want you can talk about desire HD vs galaxy s where HTC beat the hell out of samsung (only not for battery)

Scratches on Teflon? It never happened to anyone

If touchwiz was so wonderfull why all the samsung users complain about it? Why would they dream of porting Sense over it?
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
SAMOLED, 16GB internal Storage, Hummingbird+PowerVR, bluetooth 3.0. Still prefer the Galaxy, even more now that it will be Google's official developers phone. HD only beats it at the camera+flash level.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
People that are complaining are the same people that don't know the difference between touchwiz ui and touchwiz launcher. I am almost positive that u don't know this either.

First time I hear of people dreaming of porting Sense......I know Sense, touchwiz features, and other ui have been ported to Nexus......
[Nexus One General] steezedout:
Why is lighter weight better for falling?
[Nexus One General] Wbroshea:
@dnsp not questioning the veracity of your statement, but I was wondering what made you state that this is the new developers phone?. Was it stated somewhere in the numerous articles online, because it is supposedly a nexus phone, or conjecture on your part. Just looking for info. Honestly this is the only important fact for me and I had not been able to find alot on this subject.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
Lighter the weight less likely damage will occur from the fall because impact is less severe. And plastics take impact better then metal because there is more flex (assuming you don't try to break it on purpose). Haven't tested on Nexus, but did test on iphone 2g. Every time I dropped 2g, there was some sort of scratch or dent in it, I have dropped my Galaxy several times and I only have one small scratch.

Ex. Try dropping a tv or say ps3 from 10ft, most likely it will break, and yet something as light as cellphone will just get a small scratch or nothing at all.
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
It's still an unconfirmed rumor, but the Internet is flooded with it.

http://www.google.com/webhp?hl=en#h...s:1&source=og&sa=N&tab=wn&fp=dcbdd1be8eb8f40b

Edit: It's conjecture of my part, yes.I suppose the SGS will be like the N1 was: the official phone for Android Developer.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Let's some up:

1. Samsung is NOT announcing a Nexus Two on Nov 8. Their broshure talks about a totally different phone.

3. Google CEO said that there will NOT be a Nexus One, because Nexus one was made purely to move manufacturers to make android phones. In that sense, N1's mission is a success and is complete.

3. That article's picture is a MOCK-UP. I can create a mock up of a nexus two with a built-in jetpack and write an article about how cool it was flying around the city with it strapped on my back. So, don't base ur judgement on a Photoshopped image.

P.S. it'll probably be the Samsung Continuum with the dual screen. Which is "meh".
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
What makes this Samsung phone the nexus two? Maybe its just another phone released by Samsung but with vanilla android with gingerbread. Someone has to hype up the release of gingerbread. When eclair was released there was nexus one. But since Google is not releasing a new nexus they are appointing someone to release the first official release of gingerbread. We all know nexus one will be getting the gingerbread but no other device news other then the release of this new nexus two. I don't consider this new phone by Samsung the Nexus Two. It just the first device to have the gingerbread.
[Nexus One General] SouthernCountry:
:( man *kicks rocks*
[Nexus One General] SouthernCountry:
If only there were a Like button. :cool:
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Totally pointless comparisons. It all depends on construction. My Nexus One will survive an impact better than a Vibrant. Unibody aluminum > plastic
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
You sure will be disappointed come november 8. Even if there's a "nexus" branded phone, it probably won't be the official developer phone. The G1 was a developer's phone, the G2 isn't. Same concept. Not saying it's not possible, but yea you're making it sound like a fact, when you're just guessing from these rumors.
[Nexus One General] tero teladan:
you got a point there..

but..

nexus 1 (130g) and galaxy (119g) weight differs about 11g or roughly 10% of its weight and of course metal body is much stronger than plastic body

if plastic truly takes impact better than metal, people will use plastic instead of metal in their vehicle..

(i'm start to imagining a fighter aircraft made from plastic) LOL ...
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
There is a reason why all TV remote controls, even the top range are plastic. Imagine if they were metallic. After 15 or 20 falls (because it happens) they would be all deformed, peeled, full of bumps and scratched. Plastic have a different behavior. It absorbs the impact due to it's elasticity. It can shatter, yes, but it's very very hard to happen. As mentioned before, I can change all the back of my SGS for a mere €10 or €15 and voila, it's new again.

Fighter planes I cannot remember, but check the Boeing 787 and see all it's advantages against the classic aluminum in terms of resistance and durability.
[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
Modern fighters ARE made of plastic. Hell, Boeing has built a plastic widebody jet. They give it a fancy name, composite material, but in the end it's just an advanced and expensive plastic material.
[Nexus One General] pwig:
I don't think anyone would say that carbon fiber is anything like plastic.

Plastic is heated to be formed and when it cools it holds the shape. And it is made from petroleum.

Carbon fiber is made with glue and fibers. The only thing they have in common is that they aren't metal.
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
Yes, that's true but imagine a smartphone made of carbon fiber-reinforced plastic like the airframe of the B787. It would feel "cheap" and light not giving that premium feeling like an aluminum or steel case but in terms of resistance and durability I would prefer it any day.
[Nexus One General] wakeborder556:

[Nexus One General] musashiken:
Really? I actually welcome the news. It's too early for a new Nexus phone if you ask me. Especially when all we'll get is just another 1ghz knock off.

I'm still waiting for dual core 1.5ghz chip or a Tegra chip.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I agree that the next dev phone (what ever it may be called) should be a significant step upwards, not an almost sideways move.
[Nexus One General] jivemaster:
I'm much more inclined to believe androidandme over phandroid. It's predictable that either samsung or google would deny the phone's existence. That said, only samsung has made a brief comment, and google has not confirmed or denied anything. If it was completely wrong, the respective companies would be making more of a big deal trying to deny the rumors.

Unless the respective sources originally declaring the nexus two's existence aren't trustworthy, which doesn't seem to be the case as these individuals are cited as being trusted by the blogs, and androidandme takes this very seriously, I would be more inclined to believe the phone is real. Some of these bloggers have made exceptional contacts from the many social events they attend, and I think there is more to this samsung event than just the continuum, primarily because a device has to coming to showcase gingerbread's immenent release, and what better phone hardware to use than a revised galaxy s.

One thing is certain - the lack of a nexus two device at this event will make it very anticlimactic.
[Nexus One General] 5n4r35:
Still hoping it is true. I would love a Stock android Galaxy S phone. I believe the phone WILL be much more than that. I think the main reason Google chose Samsung has more to do with their ties with the various stores. Don't think Google wants to go through another Web Store debacle. I trust Google to come out with a great phone regardless of whether the N2 comes a year from now or one week.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
People do make cars out of plastic....... for a long time now :confused:

Saturn cars (at least the models i've seen) made 100% of plastic outside. My car is made about 40% of plastic. Hood (maybe plastic or AL), 2 Doors, Roof, and Truck are metal, and front quarter panels, rear quarter panels and obviously both bumpers are plastic.

If you kick a door with your foot in Saturn, nothing is going to happen, plastic will just bounce back. If you kick a door in my car, you will be stuck with $1,000+ in damages.

If you crash 100% plastic car vs 100% metal car at 50mph, most likely you better of in metal car, but i am not planning on crashing my phone at 50mph. I do drop it from my hand sometimes and plastic is MUCH better in this application.
[Nexus One General] dnsp:
Let's wait...

In the gadget world, when there is a rumor, normally it ends to be true. I sure would love, because I have a SGS and it would be great to have the latest firmwares fresh from Google...
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Really? Troll huh. I thought I was just stating my opinion.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
It's your opinion that Samsung makes the EVO?
[Nexus One General] cubanaso:
All i keep reading is how the build quality of galaxy s phones are cheap and crappy. Well thats true, but being an adament htc phone user I can attest to the fact that before the nexus one most of htc's phone were plastic and cheap looking. Google pushed HTC to raise the bar and has set the standard for phones as we see it. I hope that they take this approach with Samsung and as a result see a new slew of phones next year that race to match googles quality. Heres to hoping that Google raises the bar once more.
[Nexus One General] sl8125:
Dude you lost me. I didn't mentioned no Samsung evo. I said that Google is releasing gingerbread with Samsung. WTF.

[Nexus One General] uansari1:
No offense, but neither my T-mobile Dash or G1 felt as flimsy as the Vibrant. True, they weren't as polished and sophisticated as the Nexus, but then... what other phone on the market is today? The Evo, Incredible, and Aria are all plastic.
[Nexus One General] r0bby666:
Nexus Two = Galaxy S 1.1 ?

That will never happen. There are many reasons. First of all, the JIT Compiler is Snapdragon optimized or not ? Yes it is ! Galaxy S has not the perfect Hardware for Gingerbread. Gingerbread will be first for Nexus One, this is certainly true.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
So are u saying that because of jit compiler google is stuck of current cpu ? And will never change ? Developers can optimize it for anything.....
[Nexus One General] r0bby666:
i didnt say never or ? Did i say ? Nooo!

Google worked hard to get the JIT Compiler works perfect on Snapdragon. Look at the benchmarks HummingBird with Froyo compared to Snapdragon, Snapdragon is around 2-8 times faster. Samsung didnt managed to get the JIT Compiler as fast as on Snapdragon. This is certainly true.

You think Google will rewrite the JIT Compiler specially for Samsung Galaxy S 1.1 (nexus two) and Gingerbread ? This is naive.

I say there will be no nexus 2 with gingerbread of the type galaxy s on 8.nov announced.

First, Gingerbread will start on nexus one. Because the nexus one is the first ranked developer device at the time. So far the galaxy s didnt get froyo official.
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
Is Google known for going back on their word? They said there'd be no Nexus Two and yet Gizmodo claims to have a "source" who saw one up close. Sounds like BS and they just wanted some quick hits. Do I hope I'm wrong? Hell yeah, but a Nexus Two just wouldn't be right as any brand other than HTC.

[Nexus One General] Anomaly:
I long doubted that it would be a "Nexus 2". Google experience phone? Sure.

Although I have to say, I think Samsung has managed to keep their devices more open than Motorola and now HTC. They have the sim unlock codes saved in a file damn it.

My top options if I were buying a phone right now would be the Nexus 1 and the Galaxy S, so if Samsung is doing a Google Experience device or even better a "Nexus" branded or developer phone, I am definitely on board.

No, it's not.

[Nexus One General] Sarg92:
I don't think a Nexus Two/S will be announced on the 8th. It'll just be the Samsung Continuum.

If the next Nexus phone is supposed to be the flagship phone for Gingerbread then why hasn't Google started handing out invites for an event where they would unveil Gingerbread? I can't see Google using Samsung's event to unveil Gingerbread and a Nexus phone.

Also if the specs of the Nexus Two/S are true then it is a great improvement over the Nexus One even though it won't be a big improvement in the current Android phones. I just think Google are now wanting manufactures to create future Android phones with front facing cameras and the next Nexus phone is going to kind of standardise it.

Samsung Continuum was already announced

http://androidandme.com/2010/11/news/yes-the-samsung-nexus-phone-is-still-real-and-coming-soon/

The translation was incorrect, the phone is coming. I think it's best to keep a open mind until you see it. Also remember that this phone is not the nexus one's successor, it's just a phone to showcase gingerbread in all it's vanilla glory. An actual nexus two may very well come from htc in the future.

Also remember that the hummingbird CPU is the best available at the moment, especially because it incorporates the powervr gpu. Although you may hate samsung, it should be a good quality phone, primarily because it will have the power of the galaxy s without the lag which comes from samsung's touchwiz. And gingerbread, if it does come with the gpu acceleration that's been rumored, this cpu and gpu combo should surprise you.
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Samsung or HTC, well I think that if their is a nexus 2 that it has to be special and unique. I won't judge it because the nexus one got a lot of flack when it first came out and it turned out to be the best investment I've ever made in a phone.
[Nexus One General] -A-P-M-:
Maybe it will be called Nexus S and that is reason why they denied Nexus Two :D Google didn't denied anything. Also Gingerbread should be announced in October / November, so time is right...
[Nexus One General] msavic6:
So if this nexus s showcases gingerbread. Is the nexus one even gonna get gingerbread?
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Course it is.
[Nexus One General] :
What's a nexus one? Sounds like some outdated passe piece of technology.

[Nexus One General] MitchRapp:
now some sites are reporting the nexus two is delayed due to hardware issues by Samsung

no kidding, Samsung phone hardware feels CHEEEEEEEEEEEEAP.

The Galaxy S is like the cheapest feeling phone I've held since my Motorola V400 many many years ago...

Rumours about rumours about rumours.. Useless.
[Nexus One General] stuff:
I don't believe this one bit.

Why?

Because where are the images? Not rendered pictures, but real camera photos.

Basically all of the Droid phones were revealed via photos before the real product was announced. Why would this be any different? Even Apple's products have been leaked.. I mean ffs. If this was being tested by users, I'm almost certain someone would post a photo of it somewhere..
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
I want to see some gingy phones, if Samsung releases one you know their will be a HTC,Motorola, etc following shortly... I wonder what kinda sense they'll make around gingy unless its rendered useless which I highly doubt
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
I think some lame website was in desperate need for clicks and invented the rumor.

There is no N2

/thread
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Isn't Samsung releasing the Continuum soon? I'll bet THAT'S the subject of the Nov. 8th event.

Taylor Wimberly @ Android and Me. For the record, I do think there's a "Nexus Two" device in the works... but I don't foresee it coming till the end of the month AT THE EARLIEST, if it's even coming this year. Otherwise, it will be announced at CES in January, a la the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] greenstuffs:
We'll see, i'll be the first one to get the N2 but i'm just tired of rumors.
[Nexus One General] vegetaleb:
So we are the 8th Nov!

Where is the N2?

Let's see if the summer rumours were true(google will not produce a N2) or this one

Anyway I am feeling that I will wait calmly for the Desire 2, once you taste HTC hardware you will never return to cheap samsungs

Also from the article their saying the public dubbed it the Nexus 2 it's an "Android Experience" phone. Meaning it has a clean Android install. Probably not even the Nexus 2 just similiar to the G1 and the N1. Too many rumors going on this and last month lol. The speculation is exciting though.

[Nexus One General] smachine:
That Samsung Continuum looks like a joke. A ticker on the bottom seems like a waste. It would have been better if they kept the same big 4.0 inch superamoled screen, and just make a app to make a ticker on the bottom of the screen, and keep the rest of the screen off. It will accomplish the same things as the ticker and also save battery, and all be able to take advantage of 1 big screen when needed. I also hope the Nexus 2 is now never released by samsung. The fact they are releasing a new phone with 2.1 and still havent updated their galaxy s phones is just pathetic, especially since N1 users will soon have some gingerbread goodness.
[Nexus One General] OJ in Compton:
That's the thing though, there won't be any of these update shenanigans with this fabled samsung nexus phone because it'll be running stock android.

I hate the plasticy feel of the galaxy S phones, but at the very least you'll be getting a phone with a much better screen, camera, speaker and processor/gpu. Don't think I'd trade a nexus one for one of these at the moment though.
[Nexus One General] joshlusignan:
I dont see all the hype about the ticker...I have one, its called a notification bar. Now a multicolored led track ball that can change colors depending on notification now that would be cool...oh wait a minute...

Its not enough to pull me away from my Nexus, but kinda neat I guess.:rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Dude, Taylor Wimberly of Android and Me is the guy that started disseminating the Nexus S/2 claims. Whether or not they're accurate, he's still got his website and a gaggle of fans hanging on his nuts. Why that's the case is beyond me... but apparently he knows something no other Android bloggers know about. I also don't trust Techcrunch.. it's an Apple fanboy site. If Android Central doesn't believe it, I sure as hell don't.
