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

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 )

I'm thinking my post was spot on......haha

 

[vandyman]

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???

AGH HA... What was Vandyman saying 20 pages ago?

I don't know, own-horn-tooter!

What's in the SGSII HD LTE??? Seriously, I don't remember. But I think this is it!!

 

[The_Chief]

Wouldn't it be rockin' if a 28nm Enynos SoC was parked inside this thing? This place is gonna be a mess on reveal day...

EDIT: But if it IS the Exynos 4212 32nm SoC... it's gonna be an early Christmas for us all! WHOOT

 

[IHateMyTreo]

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.....

Exclusively cloud-based not so fun if you have to roam outside the US and pay for data (or as I do apply it against the global data limits). Hoping for the SD card.

Guys, help me! Help me! I'm on my laptop at the mall waiting for my wife to finish picking out shoes and a purse for a wedding we're going to tomorrow. . . .but my laptop battery is almost dead, and I forgot to plug in my phone to charge it! My phone is at 20% capacity! My laptop has 8 minutes left!

Help me! Help me!

This thread just got so exciting and I can't stay powered much longer!

Help me, dammit! Damn you all! Help me! Help me!

I'm fading! I'm fading. . .

damn. . . you. . . .all. . . .

 

[Nashdroid]

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??

I think he has to be refering to the Exynos 4212 and the Imagination gpu that is paired with it. Notice that he was specific in saying "not in the U.S. yet." If it wasn't found in any phone in THE WORLD yet, he would have said that it isn't found in any phone. But he was specific and said "in the U.S." So, to me, that means that the Galaxy SII LTE HD has the Exynos 4212 in it in Korea, and the Nexus will be the first phone in the U.S. to have the same CPU and GPU setup.

Beat me to it! haha Nice to know we're on the same page though. I think we're all going to get what we want, guys.

 

[vandyman]

The true specs are so tight lipped on the SGSII-HD but yet they are claiming that it has be released in Korea.

The specs are on the home page of this site, but the cpu should be EXYNOS 1.5...

Let me go back and see, My head is spinning.

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?!

Yes, it's shipping to the manufacturers for testing. <shrugs>

And fortunately I don't have in-laws period, much less ones that live in the nether regions.....

I thought that was a hillbilly thing...

Just saw this on slashgear...fwiw.

Ok guys, found a food court to plug into!

But my wife is wrapping things up so I can't stay on too much longer.

Where are those damn specs, Vandyman!

The specs!

Both Samsung and Anandtech have said 4212 is only now sampling, and Galaxy SII LTE HD is already shipping, so there's no conclusion to be drawn about 4212 on Prime.

Couldn't you send him somethinng more useful..like the force or something?

 

[SpeakerBox]

My personal opinion, I'm sure this phone will zoom real nice with whatever processor they put in it so I'm not too worried about that aspect. What is a possible deal breaker for me is no external on board storage. I don't know if I can deal with a phone with no microSD card support, that's gonna be tough for me. What will I do when I have a butt load of apps and the storage fills up? Now I have to delete something I may need one day? And with apps coming that will utilize the dual core and HD screen type phones, I'm sure they'll start to increase in size and downloading the bigger apps via 4G shouldn't be a problem. I hope like hell we can cloud apps as well and use the cloud just like it's an microSD. But like it was mentioned before, what about the people who go out of the country or live out in the middle of nowhere where signal is limited or is kind of in and out and what not? This might sway SOME people to wait for the next thing that has nice specs with removable storage ya know. Ok, I'm done. /rant

The specs!

Here is something that I missed that will help.

 

[kastleberg]

Lets hope this means exynos. All of this inside info sort of points to it.

Han, ditch the woman. Go back for her later. This back and forth is important!

 

[Namrak]

Seems solid. Any rumors for a Korean release date?

 

[kastleberg]

So, if not exynos, what would be the next best candidate for 1.5? Just omap clocked at 1.5? Or is there another chip that's likely?

 

[Steven58]

Stephen ~ your source is an evil Genius. Now he can sit back and watch the show!!!!!!

Actually not. There was one more message. S/he told me he totally understands you guys and feels for you in all of this secrecy and wishes s/ he could say more. S/ he says to hold out just a little longer and you'll find out everything you want to know.

 

[Medion]

And OMAP5 will still be dual core but with cortex A15 architecture.

Your'e right, I looked at the diagram wrong. It's 2x A15 + 2x M4 cores (the latter two for low-power mode, sort of like the 5th core in Tegra 3). So yea, it's dual-core.

Hmmm. . . .back and forth banging our heads against the wall with no solution in sight and an evil Verizon genius (with one of our own - Steven) peering down at us and laughing gleefully while they rub their hands together. . . or. . . .being nice to my wife and enjoying all the benefits that entails. . . .

Thanks for the article, Vandyman. At least that would hint 1.5 GHz. But no mention of the TYPE of processor! Oh well. You tried. I suppose.
