Samsung Galaxy Nexus discussion

[thetechfreak]

I just saw this on main Digit site

According to Phandroid, the Galaxy S III will come with a dual-core 1.8GHz Exynos 4212 processor along with 2GB of RAM. The smartphone will feature a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED Plus HD display, which is likely to deliver HD resolution without the PenTile technology, available in the present Samsung displays. Moreover, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have a 12MP camera, powered by a W750 BSI CMOS sensor for image control. The new Samsung smartphone will apparently also feature LTE, NFC support and unlike the forthcoming Nexus Prime, the Galaxy S III will have a flat display. The rumour mill states the Galaxy S III will also have a thinner body than the S II, and should quite obviously run on Android Ice Cream Sandwich. Phandroid, points out that the information on the Galaxy S III is unconfirmed at this time.

Galaxy SIII != Nexus Prime

"Mass suicide reported by all netbooks after a look at the specs of SGSIII"

Specs are hard to believe. This is a monster. But feels overpowered. The only feature I feel Android needs is "Battery life". And also of course, the lack of heating up.

I saw a video of the leaked handset and I must say, the UI looks sweet awesome.

Galaxy S II released this year. Samsung will definitely not release its successor in the same year. But i do believe Samsung will launch the Nexus Prime as one of its own devices. So, the 1.8GHz dual core specs like a real deal coming in Q1 2012. (just my guess - may be named Galaxy S HD or something ).
GSIII will certainly IMO have a quadcore processor. Q3 2012 onwards, Qualcomm will be having Snapdragon Krait, nVidia will be planning Tegra 3 and TI will near its OMAP5 public release... all upto quadcores possible. So, Samsung surely will also be having a quadcore chipset ready for its flagship. Another year, same story. Samsung will take the performance margin to new heights again.
Note: All my speculations, facts may vary

I wander how much backup battery will offer on a phone with such a huge configuration. :O

Hope someday will come when we will be able to assemble our phones our self just like PCs

Every time something new comes, I always find something missing there
Samsung just add a few things and I will not buy any other phone other than this.
ADD a glassless 3D display, ability to record in 3D 1080p with a pair of stereoscopic camera and an assurance that this phone will be upgradable to all future versions of Android.

Ahh... one more thing, an Infrared port so that I can make it an Universal Remote. Just only these things

 

[coderunknown]

^^ i think something like Sharp Aquos fits your requirement perfectly.

 

[bubusam13]

Its a TV or a Mobile Sharp Aquos - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

These things are already available >>> a glassless 3D display, ability to record in 3D 720p with a pair of stereoscopic camera

I just asked for assurance that this phone will be upgradable to all future versions of Android and 1080p 3D video recording and an Infrared port

And if Samsung want to provide some more than that, they can provide a pair of 3D secondary camera so that the other person can watch in 3D on Video call

Okay Got it man Sharp Aquos SH80F price in India
But its lacking 3D 1080p and 3D secondary cam if you allow me to ask for more

 

[sygeek]

Just so you guys know, these specifications are very much possible but with a catch of horrible battery life. That's the only reason manufacturers don't jump their specifications. It all happens gradually. As far as it makes sense, I think the specifications are just a rumor.

Even if it is true, I don't know if Samsung can fix it to a limit and increase it's efficiency. But don't get surprised if it doesn't have more than one hour worth of battery life.

 

[bubusam13]

In that case Samsung should make its body to extract power from any source, preferably light like Titan HTSE watch.

send your suggestion list to Sharp & maybe the next Aquos mobile based on ICS will have those too

 

[bubusam13]

Ha ha, may be, I would love to do so if they really listens. Aniwz, I need a cheap phone, can you help me, dont wanna open a new thread for this. I will PM you.

 

[coderunknown]

sure. feel free to PM me.

 

[ithehappy]

Nexus Prime is a good device. Just 5 more days to official announcement. I am more interested about ICS anyway.

 

[abhidev]

updated the thread with Nexus Prime specs.... its got only 5mp cam and some 1750mAh battery...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus first impressions: Ice Cream Sandwich makes it sparkle | Android Atlas - CNET Reviews

As per the comparison, Motorola Droid Razr is much better practically. In a mobile screen, 960x540 resolution is more than enough. What we need in a good resolution camera that Samsung Galaxy Nexus doesnot provide. Hope Moto droid razr will be upgradable to Android 4.0. So this is what I think.

And microSD slot is the most desired in any mobile. Does Samsung Galaxy Nexus have one. As per this article, no.

And where is this sleek curve look

IMO, Ice Sandwich is good... Read about it today... Still, I already have CyanogenMod 7, so most of the "new" features didn't seem new to me...

Too bad Google is doing away with the "long press" stuff from this new version of Android. Also, no menu button? I am sure Menu button would appear wherever necessary because the phone is one big screen without any physical buttons anyways...

I don't want Ice Cream Sandwich on my Optimus One. It still does not have Hardware Acceleration. Editors from ThisIsMyNext noticed lag... which is totally unacceptable. -- Galaxy Nexus with Ice Cream Sandwich: pictures, video, and hands-on | This is my next...

"That having been said, it unfortunately remains the case that Android isn’t as swift and responsive as iOS or Windows Phone (or even MeeGo Harmattan on the N9). Or at least it wasn’t on the demo phone we got a look at. The subtle, pervasive lag that has characterized the Android UI since it inception is still there, which is not a heartening thing to hear when you’re talking about a super-powered dual-core device like the Galaxy Nexus."

 

[skeletor]

The phone is evolutionary rather than revolutionary. A bit too big? But ICS made iOS 5 look silly. That's for sure.

Waiting for it to arrive for my SGS2.

Finally they bring HW acceleration with ICS. Nice. Lets see when will the 2.3 GB devices gets the update officially, those which are compatible of course.

See Android 4.0 Platform Highlights

Nowhere does it mention hardware acceleration. Maybe it is not possible to include hardware acceleration because so many different types of devices with various GPU SOCs are used...

Google has probably left the implementation of Hardware acceleration to device makers...
