Refreshed Nexus S coming? SMH

BiGMERF · Jan 12, 2011

Well guys the rumors of a refreshed Nexus S have begun.. This is coming straight from the people who broke the Nexus S story, when no one believed it.

Nexus S successor with Android 2.4 and 4G data headed to T-Mobile? – Android and Me

StarMenace · Jan 12, 2011

If it is and it has 4G I'm in...

Samsung is a joke. If this is indeed true why didn't they just release the Nexus S the first time around with T Mobile 4G radios? Same thing with the Vibrant. Supposedly there is a new Vibrant being released with everything the 1st Vibrant didn't include.

I agree with you statement but unfortunately its a business.. Just ask Apple every year they get them with a simple upgrade that could have been added before. Look at what there doing with the iphone on verizon. No lte, i bet you in july there will be one with lte. They hold stuff back on purpose so you will keep upgrading, its a joint effort between the manufacturer and the provider to keep you upgrading.

AndreaCristiano · Jan 12, 2011

I saw this tweet a while ago in a slightly different context, with a bit of follow-up. I remain clueless, but hey.

Right, that was slightly different context part (NS, VzW or no).

SamFirmware saying Samsung will be talking about Android updates also makes me want to take leap and guess it may be Wiz'd. Like... run, don't walk to buy this cool new phone, we assure you we'll be updating it.

So, do we think it's just a 4G upgrade?

Therefore, in the UK it will be of no benefit...

my thoughts exactly. i'm from and travel a fair amount to the U.S. but am now based in London for the next several years at least. so for me an unlocked Nexus S, and when I'm in the U.S. being limited to Tmobile 3G, was perfectly suitable.

btw, i've heard 4G is a ways off for the UK (2012?)..is the same true for continental Europe?

naths · Jan 13, 2011

surely google wouldnt let samsung do it.....if it is it will some sort of varient with touchwiz all over it..similiar to the nexus one and the desire both basically the same phones but the desire was released by HTC only with sense ui on it....surely if htc decided to slightly redesign the Nexus one by just swapping the touch buttons with real buttons surely samsung will do the same...??

MartinS · Jan 13, 2011

If it is a revamped Nexus S - I will blow my effing top :mad:

Edit: Other than 4G which I don't care about.

ironman666 · Jan 13, 2011

Isnt this just the European version, with the SLCD, it's rumoured to be realeased somewhere between january/february.

Also the fcc says "GT-I9023 (Europe Common)"

StarMenace · Jan 13, 2011

Can't Europeans already get the NS from CarPhone Warehouse in the UK? I thought it was exclusive to them and Best Buy here in the US.

StarMenace · Jan 13, 2011

Also, it's filing with FCC... That's a US entity is it not? Why would it need to go through FCC if it's for Europe?

Exactly, it has to be new.. Also it woudnt go through FCC for a simple color change (i could be wrong)

I agree, they don't need to go through FCC to change the color. Otherwise HTC would need to do a bunch for all the MyTouches out there not to mention all the other manufacturers. What about the companies that make replaceable covers? If they needed to go through FCC for that they'd be bombarded. It's a new phone all together. Either a revamped NS or something else.

Lol. Europeans. Europe is not a country. I do not feel in any way related to other countries in Europe. Only the UK got it, other countries in Europe will follow in Q1 2011.

This is probably just the Super Clear LCD version of the Nexus S. Nothing special. Maybe they give us (I live in the Netherlands) an option to choose the colour. (I read something about 'Silver Black').

ironman666 · Jan 13, 2011

Check out these articles, they refer to I9020 and I9023, i'm pretty sure they are the samoled / SLCD versions

Samsung Nexus S (I9020 / I9023) - Mobile Gazette - Mobile Phone News

Samsung Nexus S by Google (I9020 / I9023)December 2010 (US & UK), Q1/Q2 2011 (Worldwide)

http://electronic-partner.com/Samsung-Nexus-S-by-Google-I9020/I9023.html

also from a swedish site

naths · Jan 13, 2011

I reckon that the I9020 is the samoled version that the US and the UK got,which were both released within a few days of each other and the I9023 is the SLCD version is what the rest of europe/world will get in the 1st Q of 2011,there is no way google would allow a new nexus so soon,can you imagine how many people in the US and UK that would p**s off!!!!....i could imagine a fair few nexus owners jumping ship to ios4.....

Colekg · Jan 13, 2011

Its would be logical that google would wait to come out with a new version of a phone they just released. While logical it may seem, if you look at the this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrAjgYDx7yU

you will notice st 27 seconds that the phone looks as if it has a flip out qwerty. My guess would be that they will be coming out with a nexus s that has a qwerty keyboard. As far as new radios for hspda+ I couldn't say.

naths · Jan 14, 2011

Just had a look at mine at the same angle...looks identical to that...no qwerty there...
