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

So... what use would they have for a cell phone, with or w/o microSD?

Yah...oh wait....the iPhone has never had and never will have a microSD card and they have sold millions and millions to people who...well you get my point?

 

[The_Chief]

+1 on it hopefully having micro sd slot.

Oh BTW: The Bionic apparently can handle the new 64GB microSDXC cards
So sporting that puppy, with 16GB in the phone, would give us 80 friggin' gigabytes of onboard memory to take all those 1080p videos we'll be shooting. Plenty of elbow room there, IMHO. And the "cloud" would just be icing on the cake, especially to back it all up.

HanSolo: VZ_wired is not currently available. He is being administered a 500cc dose of Scopolamine. He laughed at us during the Chinese water torture. We then went to the fingernails on the chalkboard where we thought we saw some progress. Unless the Scopolamine works we might have to show him a flip phone with a pull out antenna.

Yeah but you missed mine. Chief said his family had "No cell phone connectivity" so I'm thinking maybe they just need an iPod. Okay not funny.

More power to you if you can afford a class 6+ 64gb micro sd card. I can tell you class 2 or 4 ain't gonna cut it for recording 1080p. The nice thing about built in storage is the ability to control the quality for the purpose of fast enough write times to support HD recording or quick camera shots. If there's no support for micro SD, I'm fine with it as long as it's 32gb internal. If it's 16gb, it needs external memory support.

I know. I was hoping that since he posted on my profile, maybe I was one of his favorite little pet weasels. Guess not.

Well I'm leaning towards Exynos 4212, and GSM Arena.

Welcome to the controlled insanity, beandawglgetu! Yep, November 3rd is the best SWAG we can come up with, based on the information we have... so far.



EDIT: My 2,000th post! OMG I'm OLD in here!

Party at Steven58's house!

Wow congratulations. I don't know how you guys post so much (I've been around longer than the lot of you whippersnappers)

 

[HanSolo]

I don't know how you guys post so much. . .

It's called addictive disorder and family negligence.

Qualcomm outs Snapdragon S4 SoC details, promises improved battery life and true world capability -- Engadget

OMG guys, like maybe this will be it! OMG it's SAMPLING!!

Doesn't that, like, mean it's shipping?!

 

[kastleberg]

It's called addictive disorder and family negligence.

This. Plus the phandroid app and subscribing to the thread. You guys go everywhere with me.

 

[HanSolo]

You guys go everywhere with me.

Ick. Please put a cloth over our head when you're in the bathroom or with the lady, okay?

Good grief - look at what all it does! Does it do dishes, too? Holy smokes!

EDIT: BTW Kastleberg, I don't use the Phandroid app. I guess it really IS family negligence

 

[kastleberg]

Lol. I was kind of hoping to have you all cheer me on in my, uh, most vulnerable moments.

 

[HanSolo]

Don't you dare start that, Chief. Next thing you know you'll be having us all ditching the Prime for whatever is coming in 2012.

This. Has. Got. To. Stop. Dammit.

 

[racerxe24]

Well if it does only come with 16gb and no SD card expansion, I am certainly glad I have my unlimited plan with Verizon. I can just cloud everything and stream. And fortunately I don't have in-laws period, much less ones that live in the nether regions.....

 

[BruceWayne]

Btw....the way to measure a curved screen diagonally...is to measure it before you curve it

 

[jaydotelloh]

I know I don't post much but I read alot....That being said, curving can actually increase strength, as an arch is one of the strongest shapes there are. Additionally curves and wrinkles within metal also increase the strength in that area, which is why the metal on cars have so many ridges and bends. Maybe the shell of the phone will be made out of carbon fiber or Carbon nanotubes. Maybe kryptonite, Just my .02 cents.

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong, as I am not an engineer.

I would agree with this (and I am a mechanical engineer). A flat sheet of glass and a piece twisted in any direction (so long as they have the same cross-sectional area at all points) will have the same strength. With the rumored metal chassis I don't think anyone should worry about the strength of this beast.

Guys, our source says that "You've got a dedicated bunch of guys here. That's great!

I just read Han's plead for more info on the processor or on which website a real leak went to.

Can you tell the gang that I can't reveal that, but that I can confirm that there will definitely be certain components in this phone that haven't been seen in any other phone in the US so far? And I'm not talking about the screen.

Believe me, I would tell you guys everything if I could. I just can't. There's more than just my job at stake, honestly. But I also want to keep the optimism going."

Now, I'm not going to tell you who said this, but you guys need to believe it and receive it. (My being an ordained minister came out there for a second )

 

[iowabowtech]

Any chance apps might be backed up to Google servers on this phone? As in, without the need for root? I think that would make some people VERY HAPPY.

Can you ask if we have to wait MUCH longer for an announcement????!?!? Its killing me inside! Surely he can wink or nod or something...

Certain components not seen in the US so far????!

LET THE SPECULATIONS BEGIN!!!

that post just got me really excited. Thanks to the source and Steven!!

He mentioned me! I feel so tingly, all over my body. . . .hmmm. . . yes, that feels so tingly and good!

Seriously, Steven, thanks for the update!

Now, what components can he be referring to??

 

[Steven58]

Now, what components can he be referring to??

Anti alien helmets?

 

[HanSolo]

Ok, let's break this down. . .

Components not seen in the US so far. . .

That, at first, kind of pissed me off because even the 1.2 GHz OMAP 4460 hasn't been seen in the US so far, and that's the lowest spec acceptable to us, right?

But then he mentioned "IN THE US". . .so does that mean that whatever IS in the Prime is in a phone somewhere else in the world??

Like in Korea, in the SGSII HD LTE???

So are you saying that this will be the first swiss army knife phone?
