I thought it was a bad choice before, but a recent Engadget article on naming schemes reKindled my disappointment.
The previous two Nexi were named Nexus x, now we have a x Nexus. Galaxy Nexus doesn't roll off the tongue like Nexus One or Nexus S.
Sticking Galaxy in the name means that I, along with many other people, will now associate the device much more with Samsung than with Google, so they're failing to build the Nexus brand.
I don't know why they didn't stick to Nexus Prime. It's one of the best product names I've ever heard. If Google put out an advert that just said 'Nexus Prime', I'd research it simply because of the awesome name.
Here in the UK, plenty of people know that the Galaxy S2 is Samsung's top-dog device. That means that some people will now assume that the Galaxy Nexus is just another of Samsung's cheaper, crappier Galaxy x phones like the Galaxy Ace, Galaxy Europa, Galaxy Mini etc.
The naming choice combined with the lack of specific information about availability makes the Galaxy Nexus one of Google's biggest marketing failures so far.

This.
I mean, I don't think it's that big of a deal, but I was disappointed it was associated with the Galaxy lineup too. Not sure why they wanted to do this, or why Google would allow this.
I don't see it as that big of a deal. People who are familiar with the nexus brand will understand this is a nexus device that is part of the galaxy lineup.

It could also work in the opposite direction. Since the Galaxy name is now well known, adding the Nexus can bring awareness to the Nexus line as well. Of course, there is always the risk of "Nexus" being associated with the cheaper like the "Ace," but being part of the Galaxy series will definitely bring about a more familiar name.
I think its pretty clear Google has allowed Verizon and Samsung to slap them around and take over there Flagship Android device. What Nexus One aimed to be...and what Galaxy Nexus is warrant for a total change in name. For they are nowhere close to standing for the same thing.
Google should name it iNexus and a looooootttt of people will buy it
I personally like Nexus Prime a lot more. "Prime" makes sense because it is the first device with 4.0 on it. Its funny how the next-gen Asus Transformer tablet is called "Transformer Prime."

Meh. The name will have little or nothing to do with what phone I choose. That's a cosmetic thing. And if I were worried more about cosmetics than functionality I'd choose an an Apple product.
Maybe they couldn't use Nexus Prime because to my knowledge, isn't there a tablet called Prime or something that was just announced. Maybe they got the rights to use that name before Samsung or Google did. That's just my idea.

I like Galaxy Nexus, it makes it sound like by using the phone I become the center of the galaxy. Think: nexus of the galaxy, or galactic nexus.
I hated the Nexus Prime name, and I for one am glad that's not the one they went with. To me the problem with the something like "Prime" is the same problem with the whole "Droid" image that Verizon went with: it has such a niche appeal, that it's limiting the appeal of the phone for no good reason. I am so glad that this phone has nothing to do with "Droid" or with "Prime".
I liked Nexus Prime better then Galaxy Nexus but in the end its just a name and doesn't matter.
I will say this though, outside of maybe the "Droid" brand, the "Galaxy" brand is the most well known line of Android phones.

You may have missed the point? The article over at Engadget is actually quite good: http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/11/editorial-the-problem-with-bad-product-names-and-what-we-can-le/
It's a bit of an overkill to say Google made a mistake.
I do much prefer Nexus Prime. But then, I'm male. I know the Transformers. And I think the association with "Prime" and all it's masculine images of being a Prime are bloody cool. However, apart from being damn cool, it may not get the most recognition.
Anyone that wanted a Nexus device, already knew about it and will get it even if it's called the Nexus MV88PM+. People outside the tech circles will not know what the hell it is and who made it. It has no branding on the front.
Someone alluded to Google bending over for Samsung. Well, Samsung don't have their name on the front, and only have it on the back under Google's name. After chatting with a friend that works selling phones, many people know the Galaxy branding and can often just want one of the Galaxy line-up simply because they trust the name. In the same way people trusted the Desire line-up in the UK and the Droid branding in the US.
Galaxy - Jo Public understands.
Nexus - we understand.
None of the names are offensive. Both mean something to different groups. Naming seems sensible to me. Not explosive, but very well judged. "Safe" as Engadget may have put it.

Nexus Prime was never an official name, it was a "guess" a joke by some one on the internet, then every one stuck with it
Yes, it would have been better to call the new Nexus 3 as Nexus Galaxy, than Galaxy Nexus
but what's done is done, there's no going back
so now i hope the next Nexus 4, they will make it better, and name it something decent for a change, or maybe be simple and call it Nexus 4 which will go very well with the Quad core CPUs, or maybe Nexus Quad
either name will reflect perfectly on the model

Its not a fake photo. It may however be a spoofed. The Sprint GN will probably be released around June, a half year+ after the original release. I think its more stupid of Google to release a half year old phone to such a supportive carrier (only carrier with GV integration and official Google Wallet) than to refresh the specs and piss off some users. You would have had it for months, and it will likely be unavailable on other carriers anyway.

Good lord, the intarwebs are ablaze with this story already:
http://www.google.com/search?q=galaxy nexus sgx544
I don't know what to think about this one. On one hand, it seems like plenty of sites and people have been complaining that the hardware specs should have been buffed a little bit, so I could see it happening. On the other hand, this seems like an incredibly unpopular thing for Google to do.
I was about to pull the trigger on buying one tomorrow, now I think I'll hold off until the dust settles on this story.
Additionally, it would be pretty f'd up for them to release a clearly superior model on Sprint and give the finger to the Verizon and GSM unlocked versions.
My opinion: Not going to happen.
Galaxy Nexus is fast enough (and will get faster with Android 4.1, 4.2, 4.5 ...) and there's no reason for Google to do this at all.

Same goes for the Nexus S on AT&T. There's no reason for Google to fragment their Nexus line, and piss off their loyal customers. Google really has no real gain in doing a refresh, so why would they. They chose these specs to offer a specific experience with their devices, not be apart of some spec war. The most Sprint customers would get differently is a slightly bigger battery; I don't expect anymore than that.

It's not Google that does this. This is entirely Samsung's doing and Samsung own a lot of rights for this phone. Samsung got their name on the phone, they got it called 'Galaxy Nexus' instead of 'Nexus Prime' that was the original name and it made some deals with some carriers for customized versions of Galaxy Nexus.
Sadly it is out of Google's hands.

What does everyone think of a possible LG Nexus? I've never been wowed by any of their devices thus far. Anyone have first hand experience with the quality of their devices?
yes i just came from the tmobile G2x, what a horrible device. specs were good, build quality of the phone was good. just horrible support from LG and Nvidia. phone shipped with vanilla froyo, was updated to vanilla GB with same froyo kernel (after a lawsuit was filed) never fixing any of the widespread issues. nvidia would not release source, they said ask LG. LG said to ask Nvidia. for a while tmo even pulled the device from stores, later bringing it back as a free device.
Although I'm not a fan of LG phones, I trust Google's decision whatever it may. As Nexus owners we buy the device for software... mostly.

Why would Motorola get preferential treatment? They stated explicitly that Motorola wouldn't. Motorola hasn't put out any great devices in a long while, in my opinion. If meental is right, LG would be a fine manufacturer. All they need to worry about is quality hardware. Google will take care of the software.

The OG Droid and Xoom are considered Nexus devices by some.
I don't want LG to make the next Nexus. Their phones typically suck, especially when it comes to build quality. Samsung should do it again.
Should probably fix title to say "LG" not "G".
LG is the absolute last manufacturer I want making the Nexus.
And is this really news? Every manufacturer is in talks with Google to make the Nexus. They all shop designs to Google to try to be the reference platform.
Like someone else has said earlier in this thread, I completely trust Google in making the decision. Most complaints about LG phones are about LG's support (although I have never owned a LG phone in my life). LG makes the phone and Google is who supports it. Not to mention that Google chooses all of the innards so all there is to worry about is the phone's design and build quality. Let's be honest, Samsung makes great phones but other than the nexus, what Samsung phone had great build quality? There may be some but from my experience with Galaxy S it felt pretty cheap like it would shatter any moment not that it wasn't a good phone. All I'm is that we won't know until they are given a chance. Samsung three years in a row doesn't seem like preferential treatment to any of you? That being said, I won't be getting the next Nexus. I'm actually waiting for the one after the next because honestly getting a new phone every year just isn't realistic for me. Just thought I give my two cents.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to what Motorola would come up with for the Nexus line.
I wouldn't mind moving on from Samsung. Nothing against them (at all. I like them, in fact), but I'd love to see other takes on the Nexus line.
I'd be willing to give HTC another go, even. But I'm most curious about Motorola. LG... I'm a bit wary of.
LG made the Chocolate. For that, I will never, ever let them down. Stay away!
Moto better make the next Nexus. The hardware is top-notch and if they tossed in a Maxx-like battery into the Nexus Maxx (see what I did there?) it would be 100% amazing.
And the car/desk docks would be available from day one, unlike the crap Samsung pulls. Where is my pogopin powered car dock? See what I mean?

They do make high quality hardware. I just hope that they'd make a non "Droid" looking model for the Nexus. Bring back normal corners and cut out all the chrome and ugly ****. I too would like to see a huge battery like that. Don't care if its not removable. By Q4 2012 with that battery technology they can push something like 4000mAh into a phone.

My problem with Moto is that they typically pick poor SoCs for their devices whereas Samsung consistently has the best SoCs on the market. Also, my previous atrix felt cheaper than the Galaxy Nexus. The only thing Moto has going for them, in my opinion, is their radio hardware/quality.

If Apple makes it the iNexus.
But it will infringe on too many of their own patents and therefor they will never allow themselves to release it.
I kinda like the thought of an Optimus Nexus and I loathe LG.
Truth be told, I half expect it to go back to HTC. The next Nexus needs to go back to a MicroSD slot though.
I personally don't care what the name of the device is. They can name it Nexus Untitled and I'd still get it.

Hey,
Who do you guys think will be the manufacturer for the next Nexus device. I'm reading reports that there will be multiple OEM's for the nexus and I for one don't want that to happen. One Cutting edge nexus device per year should be the norm, preferably made by Motorola or Samsung. I don't like the current Samsung Galaxy Nexus, even though I have one, the updates are taking ages and Verizon is putting the blame on Samsung. group messaging is non existent on Galaxy devices for the native messaging app. I heard LG 'might' be making it with a 1.5 Quad core processor with a 2 GB ram in it, and 13 MP camera. Let's hope that's true.

There are already many discussions about the next Nexus device going...

Vaj tswv is the creation of people with nowhere left to turn
Clearly there will be 2 or 3 Nexus phones from different manufacturers. This lets Google have more than one design and since they are all about options and being open, it makes total sense. It also creates a little competition for manufacturers to put forth a better design. Keeping Samsung and just one phone again would just mean they would throw out some boring design again so it doesn't compete with the Galaxy S III. But now that will not be the case.
Not sure how vz is blaming Google for the slow updates at this point. The fact sprint is officially updated pretty much proves that vz is not allocating an acceptable amount of resources to jb.
I agree that 1 nexus a year as the sole benchmark device makes sense but in all honesty, with the whole Samsung suit and the way ICS really matured android I think we will start to see more and more aosp devices nexus and otherwise.

I wouldn't want more than one OEM. If only one OEM, Samsung, is taking this long to update the Galaxy Nexus, two or more Nexus phones are going to be a hassle for google to keep updating. I think they should let either Motorola work their magic with the humongous battery, or let HTC design a futuristic Nexus based on the One X. I absolutely love One X, too bad Verizon doesn't carry it.

I wouldn't want more than one OEM. If only one OEM, Samsung, is taking this long to update the Galaxy Nexus, two or more Nexus phones are going to be a hassle for google to keep updating.

What do you mean taking this long? The GN was updated to JB just weeks after JB was announced. Having more OEMs will not make the process longer. If you are talking about CDMA carriers, then that is an issue with Sprint and Verizon and will not make a difference whether there are one or three Nexus phones.

So you are saying they want to kill Android by picking Motorola and pissing off all the other Android manufacturers? It's not going to happen.

Clearly there will be 2 or 3 Nexus phones from different manufacturers. This lets Google have more than one design and since they are all about options and being open, it makes total sense. It also creates a little competition for manufacturers to put forth a better design.

Lol how is it clear? No evidence at this point to support that idea.

It's been reported over and over for about the last 6 months. And corroborated by reports there will be 5-6 devices on Google Play near the end of the year.

Already 2 (3 technically, thought Nexus Q was pulled)
Yeah there's already the Prime and the N7...Nexus Q will be next so I think it'll be Samsung , Motorola and either LG/Sony...I don't think Google likes the non removable battery direction HTC is going in (yeah I know the RAZR is non removable too)....personally I'd love a Motorola Nexus, they have the best radios and best GPS signals! Nexus X would be cool

My two cents :
Sony or Asus but maybe Hello Moto.
Would be awesome if it was all 3!!!
Guys, I need a little help from my friends.
I just finished my contract with a mayor carrier who I am not going to give free advertisement and I am looking into the Galaxy Nexus. Everything I have heard about it is great. The one thing that is stopping me from buying one is :
Is there a new GN coming!!! Will I buy one and the next day Google is going to release a new one!!!
I have not been a member of this forum for a long time but from my interactions with members I can honestly say that there is a lot of smart and tech savy people here. I know answering this post will be speculating. but I know somebody here must know something!!!
Come on guys...
I ordered a galaxy nexus this weekend and am worried about the same thing. But they way I look at it even if they announce a new one tonight it will be weeks, if not months before you can even get your hands on one. So yeah it may be worth it to hold out a bit longer but I needed a phone sooner, not later and the galaxy nexus has such a huge scene that I think there will be the latest software for the next couple years. My galaxy nexus should be here tomorrow and I am so stoked to switch over to it and flash cm10 on it.
We haven't even got a hint at the new Nexus. I remember that we all called the Galaxy Nexus the Nexus Prime *long* before it came out. I haven't heard any names floating around for the new Nexus.
I do recommend buying the unlocked Nexus from the Play Store. You will have an unlocked GSM device and no contracts to worry about. The price is good too.

I think no one will know it for sure. We all expect that Google to release the next nexus very soon but no one can guarantee anything. Honestly, I think if you need a phone now and want Nexus go for it. If you don't, you can always wait since we know the next version is coming soon.
I think even if the new phone comes out soon, the nexus will still going to be a good phone. I can see that the only good thing about the new phone is probably LTE support and most likely better camera. It of course will have higher specs for other stuff, but in my opinion, these are the only 2 major improvement of the new phone. The other specs is probably not going to be that huge of a deal
I do think that the next phone will be slightly more expensive since google has such a big success so I guess price is also something worth considering.
I also looking into the Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Galaxy Nexus. I S3 seems like an awesome and fun toy. The small detail is the $600 vs $350 difference in price.

I have a friend that has the s3 to me when I compare the two there isn't much different. Even though the s3 has a better processor the nexus is as smooth as the s3. I guess its all personal preference. It depends whether or not you want touch wis or pure android.

I highly disagree, look at the Nexus 7 and the pricing. The next Nexus will be the same price if not cheaper. As far as a huge success, not really. Most people that buy these devices are geeks like me and you. The average consumer will go and buy the S3 or a low budget phone (android).
I'm excited for the new one because I think Google will get it right this time and my guess is either Sony or Asus will land it.
