SGS III + Galaxy Nexus

So i saw on 4chan (i know it's a bad source) that they are making 2 new phones with some pretty awesome specs..
News Article: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/1...eam-sandwich-as-2-4-and-galaxy-siii-revealed/
Mirror to Leaked Docs: http://tylerwatt12.com/samsung/nexus.htm

Nice story, but I doubt it's true . Why would Samsung go around and reveal something that's not their job to do (ICS and Nexus phone), and why would they talk about phone that should come out in august next year...
Don't know, little bit odd , but thanks for sharing....

Ugh

the "Galaxy Nexus" is not a nexus phone! its a galaxy phone. trust me!
there are reasons why the nexus one isnt called HTC ONE NEXUS
or the nexus S not samsung s nexus.

WHY the Galaxy Nexus not a NEXUS phone is!
To all people thinking the Galaxy nexus is a nexus phone.
well no its not!
there i9s a reason why it never was a:
HTC ONE NEXUS
SAMSUNG S NEXUS.
plus a few facts:
the galaxy nexus was spotted running
2.4.1?
with a glassy blue green theme(doesnt that sound like touch wiz?)
no onscreen buttons like 3.0? the new screen size was deu to the on screen buttons right? well that was the most logical guess.
"s that he said the phone is running an Exynos processor clocked at 1.5GHz. We all know now that the next Nexus will run a TI OMAP chip"
(droid-life)
The CEO of Notion:
"Google will be releasing Ice Cream Sandwich in late October, OMAP devices will be the preferred platform (and receive the update before Tegra devices), and the Notion Ink will have the Adam updated by November."
even shows more that its probably not a nexus but a galaxy we are talking about here.
plus!
why would the galaxy III have better specs than the next nexus in such short release span?
there for.i say.
NO! its not a nexus phone.
but a galaxy phone!

I've been intending to comment on that rumor I read at phonedog. I didn't read your link but I was like, "yeah right" when they said the g3 was going to have 1080p at 60fps. That's the biggest crock of ****!
I'm no expert but considering how much data is being recorded at 30fps, to claim of double that rate is bs. I didn't do the math, but even if it were true, 32gb of storage would be eaten up in maybe 16 minutes or less. I'm thinking a lot less. Not only that, claiming a phone's hardware can handle the task is a joke too.

simple...
it all comes down to business
and as far as i can tell Nexus phones always hand technology a bit behind times packed, with new hardware for testing
is like a hybrid between new and old, but never all newest tech inside

Nexus Prime Wanted Features
So as many of us are busy speculating or patiently waiting for the Nexus Prime (or Galaxy Nexus), I thought it'd be a little bit fun to see what features (It can be non-feature breaking, but nice to have.) people would like to see on the next Nexus. I guess this is my way of killing time and counting down the days until I can get my hands on one myself.
My personal favourites would have to be a Notification LED, dedicated Camera button, and Samsung's (or Google's) BBM-alternative.
So, What's your mini/mega feature that you want to see in the next iteration?

It would be nice if it made me a coffee.

Highly doubt you'd Samsungs version of anything software wise on a Nexus phone, and that's fine.by me. I also doubt we will see a dedicated camera button because many people don't seem bothered by not having one(could be wrong here).
My biggest hope is that with all these variants that could be coming down the pipeline, that xda makes separate sections for each individual phone this go round.

handset upgrade!!!!.....what to choose?.

hiya guys n gals...what I thought would be a simple question has turnt in to a nightmare,I'm due my handset upgrade...been on sgs gt i9000 for a year now only been flashed the last copule of months and been loving its performence,I've been looking at the sgsII but don't want to get it straight away as I know as soon as I do there will be a newer handset releasd a week later...so guys is there anything a bit trick coming out soon?....but for real not these "maybe"cases...cheers inadvance to the peeps of xda..
plus....I have been searching google and looking but I wanted some insider info so to speak.....

nexus prime?

just had a peek......WOW......look promising
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Ya I'm going for the Prime... I'm not being stuck to a carrier anymore. I want all updates when google has them... Not when Samsung decides.

Not many people on this site have been relying on samsung to release the updates more to just let them leak
Prime does look good though.. and I think it was an exec from the uk said it would be out sooner than you think, so i'd say latest mid Nov

Leaks are ok, but with so many variants and different product codes, it's bound to be troublesome.

There's also a whole new, revamped, improved, faster, stronger, better and amazing whole new (again) iPhone 4S.
It is pretty much like the iPhone 4, but you know, like better, this new iPhone can save the world, and rescue cats from threes, it will give back sight to blind people and bring a new era of peace and happiness to eveyone!!!
(In case it wasn't that much obvious, this whole post is sarcasm)
There's a Galaxy S III comming too, it won't save the world, but sounds like it will have a 12mp cam.

Nexus prime would be the best option right now. If you can't afford or get that, try buying SGS2. Don't look for anything beyond these.

If u can wait till june or july next year then there is the s3 cmming... Just google for its specs... I am sure u wud be imprrssed...

It will be a never ending cycle. You either go for what is out there right now and be happy, or find out, as with everything in life, that the moment you buy something, the next latest and greatest will come out right after you make a purchase.
Vicious cycle. Lol

Is it upsetting that the samsung is face of android?

I really don't ever see this changing because google will never take control of their product. But over the past few weeks I have been noticing that the only phones people really know about are the iphone and samsung s3. Like if i tell people about what a nexus is and why it's better they just look at me crazy like I'm trying to pitch them and I'm the one out of touch.
Google releases a 300 dollar phone that is hard to order, on half the carriers,lacks storage and LTE and they this is going to work. It makes me sick that touchwiz is the face of android. I wonder how google feels about this.

I don't really care much what stupid people think my phone's awsome, wooohooo

Google is new to the hardware market. Sure, they sold already 4 Nexus devices, but the Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus are developer / nerd / android lover devices and not a device for everyone like the Nexus 4.
Google made mistakes, though. Really bad mistaked. The ordering is bad, no 32 GB Nexus 4, Android 4.2 is bad and create weird issues. I hope a 4.2.1 update will come soon and fix the problems with my Nexus 4 (USB OTG, Random ANRs, Touchscreen Sensivity).

Samsung spent a ton on marketing. They deserve to get some fruit from their labors.

Remember when HTC was the face of Android? Remember when Sense (not the Windows version) was first unveiled along with the HTC Hero? How about the Evo and it's massive (at the time) 4.3in screen? Samsung being in the spotlight now only pushes the other manufacturers to work harder on their new devices and marketing schemes. The other big Android companies will also get their time to shine at some point, but that's not what the Nexus line is about. The Nexus line is really built for Devs, people like us who frequent XDA, and for Google to set the standard for what OEMs should strive for.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Nope.
Samsung have amazing build quality, some people don't like plastic but the build quality is second to none. The amount of sales and the few returns they have proves this and Apple don't choose Samsung to make the insides of their products because they suck.
Also TouchWiz is great, I don't see why people hate on it so much. Samsung make their phones easy to load new roms, they don't try to stop you from doing it like some. Also when I try to go back to stock Android after using TouchWiz.... I can't because stock Android, even 4.2 is missing so many amazing features. I mean the Note 2's Pen functionality and the PiP and multiple windows is worth TouchWiz alone.

Pointless thread - nothing to do with the Nexus 4
Should be in the Android forum
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

About as much as I care that Microsoft is the face of the operating system market.
The general population can keep using what they want, there is always going to be power users who want to tweak and automate everything they can to work best for them.
I'll happily use my AOSP ROMs and Gentoo while the general population happily uses Touchwiz and Windows.

People need to stop saying that the Nexus line is for developers and geeks. That really hasn't been true for years now. That ended when carriers started selling Nexus branded phones in retail stores and online (pretty much since the Nexus S). The Galaxy Nexus was just some weird "Galaxy S II.5" phone offering the stock experience and the Nexus S was the precursor to the Galaxy S II.

This is the Nexus 4 General forum, for news, tips, guides, howtos, etc relating to LG & Google's Nexus 4.

Lg nexus 4 is it a true beast

When lg saw its flagship optimus is not doing good they put the boards on the redesigned nexus 4.
The on screen keys made the display even more narrow.
No memory card
No replaceable battery with a small battery
No OTG usb support
Is google blind to give the nexus franchise to lg or are they too scared of samsung???
Google is scared of those who supported its android, me waiting for tizen ir ubuntu. Fed up of this android and its update issues.

Hahaha well in the next motorola X google put an sd card and made u all a fool by selling u the old crapy LG thing in the name of nexus.
Think with a cool mind. Do we really needed the jelly bean. What difference is there b/w a vanilla ics and vanilla JB. just some butter smooth thing. Which they coukd have tweaked on the ics with a minor update.
You people who are buying nexus in the name of googles fast updates will learn soon that its just a gimmick. Now talk about other vendors
Like htc, samsung and sony, atleast they put some added features on their devices which are mire useful than the stripped android by google and soon this new flavor craze will be over.
Let the motorola X come after 2 months and then u people will feel cheated. I agree they have a low price tag but just to sell the crap LG has made. Thats why soon people will move to windows or bb10.
Android is just popular among geeks because of xda and flashable rom. But for professionals who must keep their phone in order for day to day activity and those who actually make up the majority. Its charm is almost over.

Don't quote me on this, but won't the Motorola X be 2x as expensive? I love this device because it was so cheap to buy, yet has the performance that just blows away your Note and most other phones on the market. Now, go back to your GNote forums please.

AW: Lg nexus 4 is it a true beast
This Device is just a beast. My girlfriend owns the SGS3 and I have to say "Hell yeah!" the colours are awesome, the Samsung stuff looks funny and so on.. But for daily use I prefer the N4. Its smoother and there are not tons of features which I just dont need. If I miss a feature, then I can say, I got a Nexus. I flash it. I just like Android, also for business tasks.

Bull****. My nexus 4 is completely stock and I have no intention of ever rooting it. Runs like a dream. You're just p*ssed off that your sh*tty Galaxy Note doesn't have official JB yet. You are probably also annoyed that your stupid Note had the defective eMMC chip which destroyed the phone when you tried to load up some sh*tty hacky ICS rom with a broken hacky HWComp.
Anyway have fun waiting til March aka December in Samsung's calendar for another buggy 4.2.1 leak. Have fun with bindowsphone and RimjobBB10.
And get a job so you can buy a new phone and not have to walk around pretending your broken Note is actually working.

This thread serves no purpose on XDA.

No new N7 anytime soon. Or Android update.

I'm sure some of you watched the keynote live today. I wasted 3.5 hours of my life watching that keynote. No new N4,N7, or N10. Not even another Nexus Q. But they did announce a galaxy s4 nexus which I could really care less about. Oh yeah, and no new android either. 4.3 or 5.0. Pretty dissapointed. Just pitting the info here on good ol' xda.

These type of rants really make me laugh.
I for one am happier that there is no new Nexus 7 or Nexus 4, because both of those devices still kick ass. Stop turning into such consumers. What you have is good enough. The day Google starts releasing the same device with a tiny upgrade with an S at the end of it, is when I'll leave for good.
4.2.2 does the job. Some people complain about lag but I've never had any. You're doing something wrong if you have terrible amounts of lag, or a faulty device. It's that simple. Also, if you're having problems with the device, such as with the battery and lag or whatever it may be, play around with it and fix it yourself. After all, that's why you bought a Nexus device, right?
The updates to Google Maps are massive and very important, as are the ones to Google Hangouts. Tons of work has gone into them. Learn to be a bit more appreciative. Even if some people did get what they wanted, they'd just likely want more two months later.
Please stop being ridiculous.

I'm sure it's just a temporary glitch. For now, get the apk from the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280184

N7.2 is needed to keep up with the performance of the N4. Now an N4 owner has settle for a tablet that is slower and lower PPI than the phone, or bump up to the N10 and accept the added bulk & weight.
Hoping for an N7.2 doesn't mean the N7.1 is not still a great device. What could be bad about getting an N7.2 with better specs for the same price as the N7.1?

I just wanted a new Android version (4.3, 4.2.3, whatever) so it would fix the issue with Nexus 4 wifi falling asleep and doesn't get notifications in time or able to answer wifi VoIP calls. It's a known issue since november 2012, and still not fixed in 4.2.2!
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=42272

Well for me, I have a N7 but I will be probably be forced to hand it over at the end of the month.
So I'll be a new buyer. If the N7 isn't announced then I'll be forced to wait or buy last years tablet again. It has to be close because we all know Apple will update their mini this year.
I agree the N7 is a great device. I just don't want to spend $200ish on a tablet and a better one come out a month later for the same price.
Ahh I was really hoping. I even did my ritual Android dance before work today.

I am just sick of my Nexus 7 being laggy. I really feel like 4.2 was some cobbled together kang of 4.1 that they beefed up with a ton of features and rushed it out to the nexus devices so they could have a new version of android for the nexus 4 and 10 announcement. Granted with my 4's dramatically better hardware, I don't notice any lag at all, but it killed my Nexus 7. I've tried several roms and kernels too and it's still laggy, worst when it's resyncing from sleep. Google now can be virtually unusable at times on it too, with my keyboard taking forever to appear and then the screen not registering my inputs on it.
I understand for fragmentation purposes it might be the right thing to focus on play store updates, and core google apps and services as well as developer tools to give everyone who buys an android device a great experience. But if they are done updating android for a while, they gotta at least fix 4.2. It's the buggiest version of android since honeycomb!

Not for me. The nexus lags like hell with horrid gpu rendering. I wanted that updated spec nexus 7. Google io sucked this year. I assume we will get less android updates now to limit fragmentation. I think 4.3 was nothing but a rumor and they are at least working on key lime.

All of the custom roms and.kernels have lag for me. This is my 2nd nexus 7 to. This thing needs a quad core + 2gb of ram.

Would everyone rather have Google be like Apple and introduce products MINOR changes to devices and throw on a "S" to the name or come out with new innovation? This years I/O was not a disappointment. Its not all about the "products".
