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

[TheRoosevelt]

aren't these essentially just the BGR specs?

The main difference is that BGR said that it would be a 1.2 ghz processor rather than 1.5, methinks

aren't these essentially just the BGR specs?

Yes, except for the CPU being 1.5 instead of 1.2 and SAMOLED+ instead of plain (pentile) SAMOLED.

What about the curved glass supposedly creating more viewing privacy?

The key is that the browser improvement for ICS is that it's hardware-accelerated, yes?

My uninformed guess is no, unless they were testing fast moving graphics browsing (to take advantage of GPU accel) which only makes sense for web gaming.

They could've split the browser into multiple threads to fetch objects (html, scripts, images) in parallel while parsing and executing the javascript.

Don't know if you guys have seen this, but these are supposedly the official/unofficial Galaxy Nexus specs.:

Can someone tell me why this source is more legitimate than others?

Can someone tell me why this source is more legitimate than others?

Although I truly appreciate the information... I was wondering the same thing.

Sketchy text file with verified specs? Why not? Those are the more realistic specs anyway. And i'm happy with every one of them. Bring on the Galaxy Nexus.

No idea, but you can view the owner's About page.

Well so far my questions have been answered as follows:

Plastic and not metal

OMAP 4460 will be fast and smooth and good for gaming

November 3 isn't confirmed

But I really don't know how reliable these guys are. . . .

Can someone tell me why this source is more legitimate than others?

Because it aims low. No matter what comes out now, if you adhere to these specs you'll be happy

Looks like the majority of potentially useful chat has eased. I've found out a lot of the best info in IRC (and some of the worst). I tend to believe these specs. The only thing possibly still in play is the real phone "locked in a vault" theory but I'm thinking its less and less likely all the time. I'd be "happy" with these specs if they prove true.

 

[HanSolo]

mannequins, lol

 

[iowabowtech]

Because these guys are all XDA and I can guaranfreekingtee there's one or more in that group that are testers or aligned with one.

Hans Flip Flop-itus. Its the same as battle fatigue with sleep deprivation. You start seeing mirages of phones that are just as good or settling for whatever so-to-speak. Drinking corn flakes thinking its water.

Maybe I'm a little green but I've never seen a thread convince so many new forum members to sign up. I guess the excitement and the anticipation is just too hard to resist.

The Incredible forum probably had the same rate of new signups, myself included. Remember, back then (February, 2010) the only decent Android on on the market was the OG Droid.

I had a friend ask me which phone he should get when he upgrades in December and linked him to this thread. I told him if Sprint gets this phone, don't think twice about getting it.

I also suggested he not try to read every post unless he wants to spend the next few days trying to get caught up. He was impressed by the number of posts.

Also, I'm surprised we didn't get any kind of leak today. I hope we get some FCC love in the next couple days.

I would like to see a 100% crop of it? Please? View it @ 100% and crop a section out and post it for me? Say, just his head?

Indeed, looks like it's a solid camera.

Also, I just might've missed it, but where'd you glean that it would be plastic and not metal?

 

[HanSolo]

Yep seems like talk has died down to just regular crap.

I don't know. To me, the most important point (release date) still isn't known. I'm going with November 3.

I need some real solid info!
