Support NeoGAF

[Omiee]

i dont know if its been answered yet, but can i expect this android update to come to my sensation Xe this year?

i would really like the new update because i love honeycomb on my girlfriends tablet.
this looks a lot like it

 

[Tonza]

That looks pretty hot. I like my Nexus S but I might have to upgrade to this.

 

[andycapps]

I'm not getting the Nexus Prime anyway. I'm more interested in ICS and to see where the manufacturers go with hardware after it. They'll start with the Nexus Prime specs and bump them up from there. Yeah, it's vanilla, but I'm rooting anyway and putting custom ROM's on whatever I get, regardless.

 

[Zeppu]

Maybe there's a galaxy nexus and a nexus prime?

With the nexus prime being something modern?

Not many straws to clutch to but dammit I'm trying.

Looks about right. The offscreen 720P ones are the ones to look for.

29.3 fps in Egypt and 40 fps in Pro fit right in between the 4430 and the Exynos.

true, i guess its about half. You can do the compare on the website.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Can't wait, shame it's in the middle of the night, EU time :/

Yeah. No way am I staying up till 3 in the morning to watch it, but logging into gaf tomorrow morning and coming into this thread, will be like either watching a train wreck, or a megaton, in slow motion.

 

[kehs]

So that docomo render....has silver around the connectors and black on the back, but the teaser has black around the connectors and silver on the back.

/one more straw

Samsung are marketing this phone to the people that find the Duke Comfy

So the something BIG is just the screen size?

 

[sleeping_dragon]

didnt see this thread, no wonder the Android thread is pretty dead, lol,

 

[disco]

Sounds like a Transformer Metroid phone! Excited!

If you look at the "WORLDWING" section (which indicates worldwide usage) it says 3G+GSM

 

[FlyingTeacup]

I hope they get booed when they announce Galaxy first, Prime later.

they'll look different maybe but specwise, might be the same.

 

[Technosteve]

Wait it's not nexus prime? Galaxy nexus looks like the nexus s in that picture. Moto razor is nexus prime?

 

[Bomber Bob]

All (recents) docomo phones are gsm compatible

 

[kehs]

Wait it's not nexus prime? Galaxy nexus looks like the nexus s in that picture. Moto razor is nexus prime?

Nexus Prime is the iPhone 5.

nexus prime was the codename, galaxy nexus is the shit name we are left with

 

[Zeppu]

They should've gone ahead and did the conference last week as tribute to Job's company's superiority.

 

[Pein]

Nexus Prime is the iPhone 5.

you just blew my mind.

can we get an |OT| on that? I think that one is missing

We're definitely gonna need a Disappointment |OT| of overhyping old hardware.

 

[TouchMyBox]

It's only 14.4 Mbps?

The Galaxy S III is looking pretty good right about now.

you are already posting in that thread. We also have another one to post in currently for more then just this phone.

There is also one premade for next march. Its the Iphone 4s thread.

 

[andycapps]

Well whatever happens tonight, guaranteed people will be upset because we tend to hope for too much. Also, we can't have nice things.

 

[Pyrokai]

Needs to be more distinguished imo

 

[Zeppu]

True.

Still deserves a separate OT I think.

To be fair, I don't think it's very unreasonable, for Google's flagship device to have some sort of new hardware. It's Google's device FFS. They own the world.

 

[gcubed]

True.

Still deserves a separate OT I think.

you could get really depressed with hyping old hardware and visit the WP7 thread

Spoiler

i went there, sorry

I think that's a limit on nodoco's network, and not the phone.

It's slowing sinking it's way to page five.

 

[krzy123]

that shot is also showing LTE phones w/ 75 Mbps/25Mbps though. I be sad if no LTE.

You mean post 5.

I put my 2 cents in.

No, no, I expect it to be on page 5 when the event starts.

 

[Zeppu]

Is this a sign that Google is now uncool and that everything it touches is reduced to dust? Is there anything which can fill the void in my soul now? What will I replace my outdated HTC Hero with? Am I being over dramatic? Why am I asking all these rhetorical questions? What colour is the sky where you live?

 

[artist]

Thats cold, bro.

 

[hsukardi]

What's with curved glass? Any good?

If the prime is less than what the Galaxy S2 is... then I think that is my next phone just for grins and giggles.

wait a fucking minute did I miss something here ?

[D'ultimate]

The Nexus doesn't have enough dots checked for my liking. Of course I don't know what they all mean but...

I don't know what the release dates are on those other phones so perhaps I will just get the Nexus and ride with that for a year. That 4.7 inch screen is probably going to be gorgeous.

 

[Subliminal]

I am finally ready to put my HTC Hero to rest.

My body is ready google.

 

[Technosteve]

When will they android 4.0 code on the Dev site?

 

[Pctx]

I think they already the whole android code 4.0 on the dev site.

 

[kehs]

When will they android 4.0 code on the Dev site?

They'll details on open source announcement.

[*] NO MORE HARDWARE BUTTONS

: (

I actually prefer the standard buttons on Android phones vs the complete touchscreen input in IOS

 

[VanMardigan]

So the choice is between a high res screen (Nexus) or a good camera (s2)? I don't know why Google would de emphasize camera when it's always at the top of what consumers want and the rival has made it a point of pride for a while now.

The screen is going to be ridiculously awesome at least, but unless there are surprises, it'll be two straight disappointing conferences. Three in a row next week when Nokia unveils an n9 with Windows phone as their flagship for this year.
