***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

[iowabowtech]

Went back and reviewed the vid carefully. Noticed the planner opened up to a certain date. Got excited it may reveal the release date, then realized it was open to Oct 11. Yes, I've been reduced to looking for hidden clues in teaser vids. I feel like a sad individual at this moment.

1. This could be retouched to hide serial numbers of prototype devices. If I were to let someone(or myself) take a picture of my top secret phone they better blank out any spots that would get me fired.

Excellent point, that would make a lot of sense.

2. I agree it "looks" tall but there isn't enough scale to determine that. I tried comparing it to my Droid X in hand and it looks like the bezel could be of similar size. Plus, if there is a LTE radio it might require more internal space, which means more external wasted space.

True. I've also seen other phones that have their microphone in the middle of a lot of space. If that phone has a huge bezel plus the 4.65" screen, that's a lot of room for an LTE radio and let's say a 2000mAh battery.

5. You've never used an OLED screen apparently. There is no backlight. Black pixels are off pixels. If you see anything other then black on a black pixel it is because of screen glare.

Maybe so. But I was assuming the main display was attempting to show a black background and yet it's lighter and easily distinguishable from the bezel.

OMG guys! Did you, like, see that awesome Samsung video!!

OMG!!

 

[vandyman]

The Samsung teaser video clearly shows the new Samsung Scroll tablet.

Ok honestly thinking of returning my Bionic for this!

lucky you, your on verizon, your closer to this then others and only a phone return away

Is it me, or do those 3 dots on the side look like little lights? The middle one is decidedly red.

Actually, on second thought, they look like the contact-charge port on the macbook. Magnetic charging?

black_man_x says that at Google yesterday, they were literally laughing at the Apple announcement.

Seeing this sexy phone, I'm surprised they even bothered to watch it.

Metal contacts for Dock connector.

Yeah I was thinking that too but thought that it was kinda a weird spot to put lights.

Gotta love CostCo's 90day return policy for all electronics. Then maybe just have to come up with the difference for the price of the Prime.

Can you guys imagine what would happen if on the 11th it's announced, and it's not for Verizon?

I think I would literally puke all over my computer. I'd get sent home.

With a phone this thin and babe-istical, one question pops into my head:

WHERE'S THE BATTERY?

I sure hope they didn't slap a 1200MAh battery in this thing just to keep it sexy looking... we need at LEAST 1800MAh!

That was my question as well. Perhaps it's a thin battery with more surface area.

This phone appears super thin so I think this is the GT-i9250 we are looking at not what Verizon will get.

Unless they are using some type of new LTE radio it's much too thin to be an LTE handset.

6 days can't get here fast enough. Each new leak brings about more questions than answers

Ok guys, I'm going to have a heart attack with my emotions!!!
Now, when iPhone 4S is sipmly nothing new, Google are going just to shatter Apple in the dust. It is gonna be like one single head-cut! Damn', Apple just took a knife for a huge war with google! Hahahh!

@Han,
If google is laughing about this, I expect some massacre with iPhone...
I saw plenty of peaple complaining and commenting they're changing their iPhone to Android.

Win win win, Game over.
Moral: pride comes before fall. [Apple]

PS. There is one pair of twins that are coming to fight with Android with sticks: Microsoft and Nokia! They will be jumping like puppies, and soon just lie down and squeal.

It's going to be simply a crashing defeat!

Bite your tongue, sir

 

[spb21]

soooooo that brings up a question...What if this device isn't 4G....???

Their stock price will drop on the day of the announcement.

 

[The_Chief]

I'd better have the Darling Bride hide all the razor blades in the house because if this Prime is (a) dumbed down or (b) not on Verizon, I'm going absolutely apoplectic. But we have TOO MUCH "confirmation" from:

• Black_man_x
• Tfleming223
• Han's sister, and
• VZ_wired

that we are going to be a "very" happy crew. Six days are going to be an agonizing wait!

Dont even talk like that Han......I need positive vibes to get me through these next 6 days!

 

[jmt9779]

am i the only one who's concerned about trying to fit this thing into the front pocket of a pair of jeans with that curve on it?

First time I've laughed out loud this morning. Thanks, Jungle cat!

 

[HanSolo]

As for those concerned with lack of LTE, you can see a hump on the bottom (or is that the top?). Most likely that's where the radio is.

As far as battery, I'm sure it will be huge and thin. Like that leaked pic of the Droid HD battery a few weeks ago.

unless it was activated like clap it clap it LOL

Absofrigginlutely Chief! I'm not even going to let fatalist worrying effect my tech buzz. I'm very confident VZW's device is going to make 90 percent of us extremely satisfied. I would say all of us, but some of you are pretty picky!
