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

[S1dewinder]

I was just watching 60mins and there was a "news break" that said "Samsung has delayed launching their new Nexus prime phone on tuesday out of respect for the passing of Steve Jobs"

WTF I googled this and found no OFFICIAL report for thats the reason. Apparently CBS has other sources?

Yeah, I saw that too. I did a double-take and then took a picture with my EVO after rewinding. Picture looks familiar...

 

[kastleberg]

A good read.<<< <all facts no BS

Oh, I'm sorry, Cnet, but how in the frack is this the worst kept secret? Is it just me, or is this handset the biggest secret in android handset history?

Because they quote BGR's specs. Vandy that article is the biggest load of BS hahahaha

 

[Steven58]

obviously they're soft buttons by looking at this.

OP udated with ^ this picture.

 

[cereal killer]

I really hope that pic isn't the Prime Steven. Make it so it isn't

Its like this with all phones before announcement. The only reason this one is getting more attention is because of the name Google/Samsung.

what's wrong with it?

It is 100,000,000,000x less appealing than the other pic of the artists rendering

I agree there, but Cnet does not say Nexus. They are saying Android phone.. its a smart play on thier part.

 

[Sandroidfan]

Sorry there is no debate on the cpu, it is a Exynos 1.5 dual core.

I surely hope so! but why no comments on apps in ICS? I guess no one really knows.

That's what I'm saying. As a tech site, they should at least acknowledge that no other android handset had remained under such tight wraps. I guess I do see a bit more apple love over in camp cnet, though.

About the soft buttons: I wouldn't be surprised if they were configurable by the user. Right now you can have certain apps take over the notification area, and in ICS there may also be some facility for particular apps to hide the buttons. Maybe launchers will be able to configure button visibility for all apps. Since they're soft, maybe you could have utilities to add extra buttons in the same area, or offer a double sized button bar. Will be interesting to find out what you can do with them!

Stop with the negativity and buzz killing before I get the Corn Flakes out.

If it shows an LED, then it looks great to me.

 

[cereal killer]

Terrible looking. I don't like the "lines" of the device. It has zero character. The render on the other hand has a real appeal to it. Its like night and day.

 

[Steven58]

Please let me know if that picture should be deleted from the OP. It didn't look quite right to me, either.

ICs all new and greek for everyone I guess.

Lol ill still buy it but I'm just sayin...

 

[kastleberg]

Indeed. And I'm sure I can safely say we are all watering at the mouth to get at some ICS.

it's from the leaked video. not sure why people don't like it. it's what it looks like

Samsung Nexus Prime hands-on video - Mobilissimo.ro - YouTube

After looking at the pic again it does look fishy looking.
It Maybe a SGSII.

Plus it doesn't look metal as it should IMO

 

[AndroidifyMe]

Alright, I just lost an hour of my life. I didn't perfect it and make it perfectly, but THIS is the way it should look. Thank God for those Photoshop classes in college. haha

Not to say that you didn't make this but I've seen this on the net last week.

Any other theories on the docking capabilities???? It would be nice if they release a car dock for this phone with Bluetooth. That way we can connect and play music AND charge via the contact connection and Bluetooth.
