Support NeoGAF

[-Pyromaniac-]

This is why Samsung and Sony have back up plans for Android. If Google push too hard with Moto and hit hardware margins, I think Samsung, Sony and possibly HTC will just wave goodbye to Android. Android without Galaxy is not so appealing for consumers.

The thing is though, Motorola will never get the support given to them from carriers that devices like Samsung's get. Disrupting is pretty much their only option. I think we're an epic long ways off from them getting to a point where companies like Samsung are even batting their eyelids.

Also Today is the LG event right? If they announce the G2 then everyone will know the specs of the Nexus 5.

599 and it comes with better hardware quality AND 32gb storage.

Samsung....feel fucking ashamed.

 

[Nicktendo86]

Seriously. This is how it's done.

 

[DrFunk]

Are the speakers still as awesome?

might buy..again...if so

Also, ZTE tipped to make the Nexus 7 refresh: http://www.slashgear.com/psa-nexus-7-refresh-teased-by-google-is-actually-made-by-zte-30284268/

 

[Ephemeris]

I wonder if it's running 4.3

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

If you already own a One you don't really need to buy it. I assume developers will get a fully functional stock ROM for any One soon after release.

 

[Nicktendo86]

I wonder if it's running 4.3

SOMETHING is going on with it, it can't be stock 4.2 due to that wallpaper.

It's 4.2.2: http://blog.htc.com/2013/05/htc-one-google-nexus-experience/?gb25

 

[Groof]

Here's a press shot. Probably just a custom wallpaper.

I'm guessing Beat audio is still intact?

 

[Nicktendo86]

Interesting, it had the beats audio logo. I don't know how this can be 100% stock...

 

[thespot84]

Are the speakers still as awesome?

this is my concern, speakers, because it had a beats EQ I think, and the camera, which was heavily reliant on software...

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Fuck me in the Verizon.

 

[Divvy]

Damn that's hot

 

[Talon]

Will be interested to see the image quality of the photos with the stock camera.

 

[DrFunk]

If you already own a One you don't really need to buy it. I assume developers will get a fully functional stock ROM for any One soon after release.

Especially if you own the Dev Edition. 64GB!

 

[Ephemeris]

It's 4.2.2: http://blog.htc.com/2013/05/htc-one-google-nexus-experience/?gb25

Ah, thanks. I wonder what tweaks - if any - they're making to it.

Fuck me in the Verizon.

I laughed out pretty loud at work

 

[Toki767]

I wonder how the buttons will work.

 

[PriitV]

I wonder how the buttons will work.

By touch :- )

 

[Nicktendo86]

I wonder how the buttons will work.

That's why, for me, these stock editions are great but they are not true stock devices as Google intended. I really hope they don't do away with the nexus program.

 

[Blackhead]

No, seriously, if Google leaves the menu button on the GIV as is, I will eat a shit sandwich.

They aren't.

Sundar said in the interview that they're not getting rid of the Nexus program. I've been on #teamsoftbutt since the beginning, would hate to see them get rid of them.

 

[PriitV]

I was really hoping he'd introduce the Nexus 7 refresh today

 

[Vanillalite]

If you already own a One you don't really need to buy it. I assume developers will get a fully functional stock ROM for any One soon after release.

Yeah best news about this is the drivers will come available for stock. This could end up being $$$ for say the Cyanogen community on both the HTC One and the Samsung GS4.

 

[Bboy AJ]

The stock One is awesome. But it sure as hell isn't twice the price awesome. Nexus 4 is still the GOAT. I do like how they kept Beats, though. Some people care about that so nice work. I wonder how the buttons will work.

You can force the layout in web gmail by clicking the cog on the upper right side of the inbox and selecting Configure inbox.

That worked for me. Thanks!

 

[malyce]

Am I the only one irked by the fact that the One has the same screen size as the N4, but is as large as the GS4?

 

[Blackhead]

Am I the only one irked by the fact that the One has the same screen size as the N4, but is as large as the GS4?

Me too. After playing a bit with both of them, I kinda prefer the curves and amoled screen of S4.

I sort of agree. N4 is damn near unbeatable for the price point it has. But the HTC One GE is probably the next best thing.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

But way better looking and feeling than the gs4.

I was at the mall recently and they had a One kiosk set up and we went over to it. My friend said "never heard of this, is it better than the new Samsung?".

Htc fucking suuucks. -also all the guy there Said was "hi".

Yeah, that's huge. Hey, if people want to buy these $600 phones, cool. As long as I have my 95% as good, half price Nexus device, I'm happy. The main issue with every Nexus device has been the camera. And Google specifically said that would be addressed next go around. I'm good, homey!

I don't even care about the camera, my gnexus is good enough and the n4 is better than that so I am good on that front.

 

[Groof]

Yeah, seriously. Smartphone cameras have been getting better as of late, but all they're still good for is quick snapshots for those times where you don't have a camera with you.

 

[Marty Chinn]

My issue with the N4 ws always the storage. 8 to 16 gigs without external SD card? Complete non starter for me. It would be a pain in the ass to do any 1080p video on that thing.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Nexus 4 will always be great value but lets not pretend like it isn't worse in every way lol. One has better build quality, better screen, better sound, better battery, better storage, better processor, etc...

Of course the value people place on any one of these things is different but yeah point remains. It's the nexus 5 that will probably make these phones look shamefully overpriced...probably.

HTC One Google Edition Updates:

HTC confirmed to us that the Google Edition will retain the same two-button setup, and they'll have the same functions as before: short press of Home for Home, long press for Google Now and double tap for Recent Apps. The back button will also remain the same, and the black menu bar that plagues third-party apps that haven't complied with Google's design specifications isn't going anywhere. We were also told that Beats Audio will still be integrated into the device as a hardware optimization, but the visual indicator -- currently found in the status bar on the original One -- won't be there.

hee hee

 

[Toki767]

That sounds pretty bad

Every time AndroidGAF fights itself, someone buys a Windows Phone.

I hope you know that.
