Next Nexus?

[DoctorEyeSight]

Hi,

When is the next nexus coming by Samsung? Any news?

Hi Doc:

Google is having a huge deal on October 29, presumably to show off new devices. That may be what you're looking for

It's the LG Nexus 4. I don't think Samsung is making it this year.

The next nexus by Samsung, as far as rumors go, does not appear to be a phone but rather a 10.1 tablet. Those same rumors are also saying that it won't be out until after the holiday season so it's still a ways away.

 

[DoctorEyeSight]

I have seen the Sony Nexus leaked pictures and it was ugly. Samsung does design their phones attractively.

 

[jova33]

Sony nexus was just a render, not an actual device

The Nexus 10 sounds fantastic, with that resolution (and with a processor that is actually capable of pushing it, too, unlike those 1080p Android Tegra 3 tabs which are just about sitting on the borderline of the processor's abilities). The Nexus 7 is great, but I personally like to have the two extremes handy to me - a smaller phone, and a much larger tablet.

Next week Google is going to present its new 10-inch tablet. As for the next Nexus smartphone I also think it is going to be the LG Nexus 4.

 

[ChazzMatt]

it's going to have Android 4.2. Rumors are a super low price on the LG Nexus, perhaps as low as $300. $300? That's crazy talk.

In other good news, the leaked LG Nexus 4 will also feature the new Android 4.2 operating system. As for those leaked specs from last week, The Next Web reports that those are correct. It looks like we’ll be getting a powerful phone at a cheap price if the rumored price of $300 sticks.

The phone will feature a 1.5GHz Quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 1280

I just want it on Sprint

I just want it on Sprint

Rumors are it's not going to have LTE, to save costs. But that's OK. I went from wimpy MetroPCS LTE (similar to Sprint) to Straight Talk "AT&T" and get 5mbps - 7mbps speed for $45 per month.

ST "T-mobile" users get 7mbps - 12 mbps.

Plus my Galaxy Nexus is pentaband and can be used on any GSM carrier in the world. I love not being locked into a particular carrier.

I figured that's just the initial unlocked version that'll be sold on the Play Store.
I've read nothing saying this but I'm just hoping by early next year, a LTE/CDMA version becomes available to Sprint (and Verizon, I guess but at least Sprint )

HSPA+ isn't so bad, really. I've used our 3Mbps connection here in the UK to play YouTube videos and it does them just fine (though perhaps not at HD quality).

I will wait for new Windows 8 tablets to come out so there will be finally some competition in the Windows tablet market cause honestly I am not ready to pay over $1000 for a tablet (like Samsung Slate). Until then I will be gladly using my Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

 

[DoctorEyeSight]

I am disappointed in google. They unveiled the Nexus 4, 7 and 10. LG teamed up with them on the next nexus. Samsung has way better build quality. What a dissatisfied quarter it will be.

 

[Rxpert83]

I imagine they'll have a great quarter with the expanded nexus tablet line. Who can honestly justify paying hundreds of dollars more for an iproduct?

The nexus 10 screen is amazing

 

[DoctorEyeSight]

Yeah, but still, smartphone is what we all need. Samsung should of teamed up. How come it did not?

Google picks who to go with. Personally, I don't like samsungs build quality.

Samsungs build quality is not that great all there phones now look like the S3 and plastic LG's nexus is way more elegant and looks higher quality.

Probably because of the huge ongoing legal stink between them and Apple. Google made a smart move by choosing LG.

Not that I don't seriously love my Samsung G-Nex. It's by far the best phone I've ever owned next to my LG OpV.

Apparently Google has modified their Nexus program so that any manufacturer can make Nexus devices. No more partnering.

As evidence, Samsung/Google just announced the Nexus 10 tablet. There are rumors of HTC, Moto, and even Sony releasing Nexus devices this year.

 

[Hadron]

Aye, but the key word there is "rumours". We're still waiting for anything more.

Time will tell...

Build quality is a result of material choice and tolerance specifications. A company doesn't have a certain level of build quality: a product does.

HTC has produced a number of cheap feeling handsets, while the One X feels high quality and solid.

The photos and material choices suggest that the N4 is well crafted - but in any event, save your disappointment or dissatisfaction until the product is here.

 

[aurora40]

We should still expect one more this year, right? Google said they'd have 5 new products this year. The Q, 7, and now 4, 10. What will the fifth one be? I hope it's a 4-4.3" phone...

 

[DoctorEyeSight]

Doesn't support LTE. Samsung get in there and take over!
