Are they just overclocking the Sprint version? http://www.technobuffalo.com/tag/galaxy-nexus/
i really hope they get a qualcomm version and just took a higher advertised clock speed over real life performance, i will never be using a snapdragon processor again, at least if their still using adreno
Its an ad, and its probably wrong.
Guess well find out soon enough. I won't be going back to Sprint till LTE is in my area.
I agree, I think its the ad that's wrong

What do you have against adreno?

I don't think their LTE is launching until Q2 and by that time it'd be rather foolish it buy it considering the SGS3 should be out by then and a new Nexus would probably be less than 6 months away.

Our CPU is rated for 1.5 but Google decided to UV the clock for battery life. Different carriers pay for different options so its not surprising that sprint would try and be different. They have to because there network is like a big long turd that wraps around the toilet

Does anyone have a guess on why they went with Texas instruments processor over samsungs exynos processor? Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
They used OMAP4460 in the VZW version as Exynos doesn't like LTE at all. That's why the US version of the SGS2 is Snapdragon instead of Exynos. As for the GSM version, I'm guessing because they couldn't be bothered using anything better.
Thanks bud! So our verizon version has a different and better chip set?

Being a Nexus device, Google likes spreading the love. Nexus One had Snapdragon, Nexus S had Hummingbird, Xoom (not Nexus, but closely supported by Google) had Tegra, GNex has TI. Next up, who knows... But they certainly seem to like broadening the amount of chipsets they support more than they're focusing on raw performance.
Here sprint has some serious data issues. So bad tha AT&T is faster on edge much of the time. They could release a 2ghz version and i still wouldn't go back to them. I'm sure that it is likely worse now with the iphone.

Just to set your story straight....
The SoC is rated for UP to 1.5 GHz. This doesn't mean that our chips are in fact rated for operation at 1.5 GHz. Take some time and search the dev threads about this. It's a pretty big misconception regarding the 4460. Not all 4460's are in fact the same (apparently). Did Samsung/Google underclock these chips? Slightly, but as you will see, these chips will not in fact (generally) hit clockrates higher than 1.4 GHz. The general thought is that there is an issue with the clock generator for 1.5 GHz and higher, which causes the problem.
The GN for Sprint will have the same problems, and will probably be a PR nightmare now.....especially when users find out that their GN only runs at 1.2 GHz.
Sprint version probably has different SoC.

...and I might return it. I really am not terribly impressed with it. ICS is cool and all but I would much rather have a bone stock ICS ROM running on my Epic Touch. My biggest complaint about it, besides how narrow the screen is, is that games just don't run nearly as smooth on it as they do on the E4GT. I know it has a weaker GPU, but I didn't realize it wasn't powerful enough to run Riptide GP without dropping frames all the time. Pretty disappointing, TBQH. Verizon has an extended buyers remorse period because of the holidays. I am going to hang on to it till Jan 14th and give it a serious chance but so far it's not looking good.
edit: Oh yeah, I HATE how the home/back/tasks soft keys persist even when playing games. That's the main reason why I returned my Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus, and I can't tell you how disappointed I am that they are still there in ICS.
Such a shame that the Galaxy Nexus is such a let down. My friend has one so I played around with his for an hour or so. There was some choppiness during transitions here and there. Only reason I'd pick it over an Epic Touch is because it's a Nexus device. But since it's not available for Sprint it's not a phone I'd buy.
It has the gpu of the galaxy s1, that may explain why it doesn't hum like our phone. The ti processor is very good, perhaps >= exynos but the gpu kills it.
Only thing I love is the screen (except that the on screen buttons can't be toggled) and ICS, seems like the colors are more real. In every other aspect, I have to go with the S2 (minus the tmo and skyrocket variants)

I played around with my coworker's GNex and I think its nice and all, but......
I can't stand the lack of search button and the lack of a menu button. I felt like I was using a Pre or iPhone, I couldn't find out where the flippin' options were easily (I know that most have a little menu button in the top corner, but that's not apparent to me). Try to get to settings quickly? you can't without finding that app for settings. I also found it pretty laggy compared to my E4GT.
I do like the core app GUI changes, however. Very nice. The phone itself though....meh.

The downside if exynos is Android does not natively support it. So every time Google releases an os, Samsung has to port it which is no small task.

You guys do realize the iphone does not utilize 4G so the processor can be the same across the board. However, android phones do use 4G and not all networks are created equal (ex: HSPA+ FOR T-mo). Hence, the different specs.

The 4 is an A2 CPU and idk what gpu its running. The 4s is running an A3, is dual core, and beefier gpu. The iPad 1 and iPhone 4 use the same CPU, that's why there are jailbreaks available for them. IPad 2 and iPhone 4s share the same CPU. Its speculated its clocked higher on the pad. There also isn't a jailbreak for the A3 powered devices. There's no difference in hardware between the carriers of the same model phone. All 4 are the same and all 4S are the same.
I had a 4S for a couple of months on sprint before coming back to Android. I did some homework before and during owning the phone too.
I understand aosp is different than touchwiz. One alternative I could suggest is to get the et4g. Root, recovery and no ciq it after updating to ek02. After that, run sprint id and choose the clean pack. That is a bare bones setup, stockish launcher, and no touchwiz. Then go into the system/app directory and do something like add ".old" to the end of the apk of the bloatware and touchwiz crap. Now you have a pseudo asop looking ROM with the bloat rem'd out.
And I like my nexus s 4g so much...it is a rumor so who knows how it will turn out.

Likely internal fix for proper clocks. hopefully its not a hardware change from TI.

The OMAP4460 in every galaxy nexus runs at 1.5GHz but downclocked to 1.2GHz for battery reason.
I can't understand why they sold us a 1.2GHz phone and now they are selling a 1.5GHz phone, it is really disturbing.
Looks like a may get one afterall.

The GS2 is still the top phone (top 3 at least), except the screen (nexus+note > gs2) and CPU (nexus > gs2). Otherwise the GPU + storage capabilities exceed the nexus it's a close call
I think the GS2 has held its value better than any other smart phone that came out last year, which is an extremely good accomplishment in today's fast-growing market. Though, the GS2's reign will end soon with phones like the One X and GS3

How is that old technology. I would say its cutting edge. There is only one phone out that uses a quad core and its a Tegra 3 not a Exynos. Exynos is supposed to be way more powerful. Also since Nvidia and qualcomm had a falling out ( from my understanding ) its not even available in the US. Quad core with 20% lower power consumption, bigger HD screen and 12 mp camera alone makes me want it bad.
Im super excited for this! I dont think the next nexus will be all that to be honest. The Nexus has never really stood for groundbreaking technology and if Sammy makes it your probably looking at the chip that will be in it lol. The benchmarks on the S3 look amazing thoughleaps and bounds better than anything out their currently. And we still dont know the GPU yet. I think so far its pretty much demolished my chance at getting the evo 4g lte. Unless they do something crazy like throw an S4 in the Sprint version.

Because an A9 chip doesn't mean crap, it's old tech. And the Mali400 was already old with the S2 came out, why the heck are they using it again. It's not going to perform much differently than this phone aside from some big HD games, the only difference youre looking at is probably some sharper pictures and a nicer screen.
Well, it comes down to this....
Samsung quad core(older technology doubled)(like a nice 1988 Iroc Z28)
HTC dual core(new tech)(like a finely tuned Audi A3 turbo)
Motorola Tegra 3(a new Mustang....not a cobra)
Where is the Ferrari?(Quad Core Krait)
I am on the fence. I bet HTC drains slower. Motorola might have one huge battery(3300). Samsung has a better screen and pictures.

Ok, I have been given a sgh-i957 Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE on AT&T for work and it's Nvidia Tegra 2 or Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-core at 1.5 GHz with Honeycomb and TouchWiz is ungodly laggy and slow. First off, I know I am comparing a tablet to a phone but I am curious how the S4gT with current release and its 1.2 GHz Samsung Exynos C210 dual-core compares. I am very worried it is just the in-efficiency of Android and I am wondering if I should wait for a quad core phone like the LG Optimus G. Or if the versions of the Operating Systems are to blame. I know most of us here have customized one way or another but I am hoping someone can remember how it was before they made their device awesome. The Wimax vs. LTE issue doesn't bother me because even though Sprint swears they have LTE here in Houston a lot of people are reporting their LTE phone's are on 3g more. This will help me determine if I sign a contract today for a new phone or wait until the LG Optimus G comes out. On a side note I can do nothing custom to the work supplied tablet, LOL.
The Exynos SoC in the S2's is very fast and the Mali graphics are generally equal to that in the USA S3's. This phone shows little to no lag in any situation that I've found.

The OG i9100 and the i777 might have a word with you as they also have the same chip set as us but also includes NFC. But typically it's pretty much acknowledged that the GS2 roflstomped all the competition last year upon its release in terms of raw power. Other manufacturers came close to it though with 720p displays and sped up S3 soc's.
The reign of the GS2 only truly ended upon the release of the HTC 1x with it's S4 / Tegra 3 which was last april. So in essence. The S2 ruled the landscape for almost a year and was in a completely different class of performance. The Tegra 2 / S3 were far behind the 4210.

I myself haven't experienced the ungodly lag you speak of sir, and I usually go back to stock every once in a while. You could wait, LG has made some awesome improvements to their devices to actually call them smartphones. I lover this phone but I am going nexus myself but that's just me

The lag is on my tablet, I am asking if the phone has the same problem, Sorry if there was any confusion.
Yeah I guess the I777 and I9100 both have the Exynos chip also...
I'll change what I said to include those devices.
Any Galaxy S II that comes with the Exynos CPU is a beast and there was no competition until the international S3 and the OX was released.

Thanks guys, you have been really helpful.
How would you compare the Galaxy Nexus to the Epic 4g Touch performance wise? It looks like the price for the upgrade is 49.96 not .96 cents and I can get the Galaxy Nexus for the same price so I was just curious.
I would say the Epic 4G Touch is better specs wise, but the Galaxy Nexus is better software wise.

How would you compare the camera on the E4gT and the SGS3?
I never used the camera on the S3 but they are both 8MP. So I imagine the quality is the same.

Sgs3 has better low light performance, less shutter lag, and it works overall a lot better. Not to say the s2 has a bad camera, it's amazing. Just not quite where the s3 is. You were asking about the gnex versus the s2? Obviously a
being a nexus the gnex gets better software updates, but speed wise it's a joke. Worse processor. Worse gpu, terrible camera, terrible battery life, pentile screen, etc etc. However if I had a choice I would STILL go with the gnex because I really do value software that much

Ok, I have been given a sgh-i957 Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE on AT&T for work and it's Nvidia Tegra 2 or Qualcomm Snapdragon Dual-core at 1.5 GHz with Honeycomb and TouchWiz is ungodly laggy and slow. First off, I know I am comparing a tablet to a phone but I am curious how the S4gT with current release and its 1.2 GHz Samsung Exynos C210 dual-core compares. I am very worried it is just the in-efficiency of Android and I am wondering if I should wait for a quad core phone like the LG Optimus G. Or if the versions of the Operating Systems are to blame. I know most of us here have customized one way or another but I am hoping someone can remember how it was before they made their device awesome. The Wimax vs. LTE issue doesn't bother me because even though Sprint swears they have LTE here in Houston a lot of people are reporting their LTE phone's are on 3g more. This will help me determine if I sign a contract today for a new phone or wait until the LG Optimus G comes out. On a side note I can do nothing custom to the work supplied tablet, LOL.

The E4GT is very smooth and not laggy, unlike the Galaxy 8.9 Tab. I used that Tablet several times when working on it for my friend and its lagginess and slow responses were really irritating.
