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

[cereal killer]

I cringe when I see the AT&T SGSII unboxings. We were left high and dry. Why Verizon? Why?

2 friends on FB who aren't even tech heads and don't know each other have said

"I'm really liking my Galaxy S 2 phone"

"Anybody get the Galaxy S 2? It's pretty awesome."

This is a first time I've ever seen people bragging about a phone on FB. Last time I seen comments like this (tech) is when the first iPad was released.

Yes...who surfs to the to the site. IP's, Browsers etc etc.

The OS can be spoofed though. NOT saying people were in fact spoofing 4.0 but it can be done.

Everyone in here is being smart and just waiting for this event in October. It will save A LOT of time and aggravation thats for sure

Thanks, CK, for the clarification.

As for the October 11 event, I

Patience grasshopper, vengeance is nigh..

At least, something! 11'th is the day I'm waiting for! That's it!

Is it standard procedure to show off devices that haven't cleared FCC yet? What if they DON'T clear but get blocked for some reason? Does this mean we can expect FCC clearance between now and October 11th?

Out of the whole piece I noticed this:
Gamer & Entertainment Enthusiast
A product to be announced from Samsung Mobile, Samsung Telecommunications America;
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi edition, Samsung Telecommunications America; and
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

Samsung will not say anything about the upcoming Verizon cellphones at the event. They will leave that to Verizon.
Samsung my talk about the Nexus Prime GT-i9250.

Verizon will tease us 5 days before the release of Prime with crazy Tomb Raider adds.

 

[racerxe24]

I don't think anything will come from the Oct 11th date. I just can't see Samsung announcing the phone before Google announces ICS. I mean this should be a Google experience phone, not a Samsung phone. I hope I am wrong but just don't see it...

 

[kyler13]

OK, disregard the model number part. But I rechecked several recent news, rumors, leaks on stratosphere and found none mentioning dual core or even 1.2Ghz single core but plenty of saying 1Ghz single core. Did you find any?

I must have been mistaken. Can't find a reference to it anywhere. Dunno why I remember reading that, but maybe I just got my wires crossed with all the various leaks, rumors, and speculation I read about day in and day out.

I just looked at the unboxings. You're right, it really rubs us Verizon customers the wrong way. You don't want to participate in the Samsung event? Fine. But at least throw us a bone. If something better is around the corner, time to start dropping hints. Two of your competitors have or are about to have available probably the best phone in the world, certainly better than the comedy of errors that is the Bionic.

As a group in whole here, we are just going by what rumors we find and what guesses we can make.

For example;
Screen size 4.5 or 4.65
CPU 1.0GHZ or 1.5GHZ dual core
ICS or GB
HD or not.
release date-11/3 or 11/11 or 11/17

Who really knows. There is no hard evidence at this time. Verizon my have giving us a clue by passing on the SGSII.

The only thing that I believe right now is that a Samsung phone will be released by Verizon in November. But what will it be?

 

[EKG]

What up guys, joining in here. Just started hearing the rumors about the Nexus Prime, and the thought of a Nexus device coming to Verizon makes me crazy excited. I just hope that Google won't succumb to Verizon's crazy update policy and push the updates out on its own.

Unfortunately Verizon will always have their hand on the updates. Hell will freeze over when they pass on internal testing.

You're even stretching that assumption. There is no hard evidence of anything. NO supply chains, no factories churning, no leaked photos, nothing. HTC Vigor has PLENTY of evidence and is due about the same time, right? Iphone 5 has just about an equal amount of "evidence" which is really... none.

Here is to hoping for Nexus prime with 1.5ghz dc, 4.65% SA 720p hd display. I skipped Epic 4g Touch for sprint in the hope for nexus prime.. lets hope I didn't make the wrong decision!

How does the delay of the 1.5 GHz OMAP4 affect the Nexus Prime launch? | Android and Me

Some kind of interesting article... since the archos G9 tablets with the 1.0GHz DualCore (propably the 4430) are ou tnow, but the ones with the 1.5GHz (OMAP 4460) are delayed until next year and the rumours said the prime would come with it, im kind of scared that the nexus prime will be delayed till next year, too...

or it will come with another Soc... the samsung's own exynos SoC for example (as the anonymous 4chan user already reported)

i hope the next gen nexus will be the fastest Mobile Device out there (on it's launch)

Oooops...

Oooops...

excuse me, did i miss something?

 

[justabrake]

I hope we ll hear some news soon, maybe ifa Berlin? I just sold my iPhone 4 and i really don't know if I should get sgs2 now or w8 for nexus prime!

I'm in the same boat, sold my iphone4 and just bought a cheapo phone to hold me over I was going to get the SGS2 but I want a bigger screen now thinking this Nexus prime or the LG Lu6200

 

[Thejungle]

excuse me, did i miss something?

This just doesn't sound good.

 

[r4yN]

This just doesn't sound good.

yeah i know... nexus prime with an omap 4430 would suck... i'd prefer some type of the exynos-soc rather than the 4430...

4430 would be like e.g. LG Optimus 3D and that is now about 1/2 year old...

There is a little hope.. maybe 4470? ;>

 

[r4yN]

There is a little hope.. maybe 4470? ;>

maybe OMAP 4470 (with the new PowerVr SGX544), maybe Qualcomm MSM8960 (first Krait 28nm-processor with the new Adreno 225 GPU), maybe Tegra 3: Kal-El (not impossible ), maybe Samsungs own Exynos processor (just higher clocked) OR maybe even a brandnew Samsung owned Soc... remember when it's called Samsung Galaxy Nexus, it'll be like the Samsung Galaxy 2.5 and as we know every galaxy-flagship has got its own samsung-soc...

i could imagine a samsung-soc with dualcore 1.5-1.8 GHz and PowerVr SGX544MP2 (yeah 2x SGX544; why? cause the iphone 5's A5 will have 2x SGX543 which is nearly equal, and the Prime is meant to destroy the iphone 5)

but i can't imagine the prime to come with a stupid 4430... that would definitely make NO SENSE!

edit: or maybe some new mobile Soc by Intel? ;D

Exactly. Vigor has been leaked like crazy, including huge close up pics of front and back. iPhone 5 has at least had images of parts leak out, images of cases that show off its angled form factor, and was lost in a bar again (I doubt that one, though).

Prime? Zip, zilch, nada. Even SCH-i515 passing through wifi and bluetooth means nothing.

I find it very freaking strange that a phone that's supposed to release 2 weeks after Vigor and iPhone 5 has absolutely nothing leaking out. Samsung and Verizon are good at keeping secrets, but not that good. (The only time I've seen them be this good at not leaking anything was the Verizon version of SGSII, and we know how that turned out.)

I'm hoping we see an announcement from Google before Samsung's. Otherwise, I'm betting the big announcement on 10/11 will be about the 7.7 Tab and we'll be left fuming and ranting again.

P.S.: Why the frak does Samsung see the need to come out with all these sizes? What's so much better about a 7.7 than an 8.9? It's getting ridiculous.
