Galaxy nexus lte coming to sprint

Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

So what? It was pretty much a sure thing eventually. I still think that the E4GT is the better phone. It will get ICS this year, by samsung or the wonderful devs here. It has a better processor that clocks higher with a better GPU. The camera is 8mp vice 5mp and while megapixels arent everything, there is a clear quality difference between the ones I take and the ones my friends Nexus on verizons take.
Yes yes..its a nexus..gets OTA via google. But guess what..even the 'stock' android of a nexus device ends up being heavily modified by users here at xda anyway. So might as well tweak and tinker on a better hardware phone. They might get updates a little faster..but we get those updates soon enought..they DONT get our hardware eventually. lol

1.5GHz dual-core processor. For those keeping count, that's 300MHz more powerful than the 1.2GHz chip in the HSPA+ and VZW models.
^ That seems pretty good to me

Edit - beat me to it.

This is the first Lte phone on sprint and that's a big deal

when will it be available ...i don't care about camera i want fully working updates in the same year as its released...

I'm keeping my SGS2E4GT until LTE is available in the locations that I work.
Right now I use Wimax in both Denver and St Louis and tether my Laptop, Nook Color, and other devices.
Not switching to an LTE phone until LTE is available in both those places. I don't think I'll be getting the GNex either. By the time Sprint rolls out LTE the Nexus 4 will be out.

Is it time omap or exynos processor?
If it exynos then will buy it in heartbeat

Cant see myself getting excited over a phone that probably won't even come out until June or July and will already be leapfrogged by other phones. I swear I hate the US methods of releasing phones.

First Lte will be in Dallas, Atlanta Houston, and some other cities by mid 2012 so leaking lte galaxy nexus makes sense

Great, if it's better than this phone, I'll be super pissed.

Its AOSP, thats all that needs to be said. I will be on it launch day (hopefully). I am right outside of Houston, though the LTE won't make it to me, Wimax hasn't either

I bet is is a TI OMAP. Would make updating easier to keep same chip family as other GNex.
I was expecting the GNex to be released soon on Sprint. That's why I bought a used SGS2E4GT for $250 and still have my upgrade ready to go. I will probably wait until LTE is available near me, however.

I hope this is the Exynos that we originally heard about...even if it isn't, pffft, big deal. I'm already making plans to sell my ET4G if this thing drops any later than March 26th....which would be stupid, but, whatever.
N1 was awesome, NS/4G was awesome...I haven't played with one yet, but, even if it is the OMAP it will be clocked to 1.5ghz and but much closer in performance to our 1.2ghz Exynos......and if its Exynos, holy crap.
...maybe they just needed some time to finish developing the CDMA+LTE Exynos and after all the delays they did what it took to get the first one out the door last year at all....

This news is very meh to me. I had the Galaxy Nexus and returned it after a few weeks. It's a cool phone but the E4GT is much nicer.

I will be selling my Epic Touch, any buyers?

My thoughts exactly

+1,
i agree, by then maybe we'll have a SG3, htc or just around the corner another great phone ...

That actually looks nice. Might be my next phone. We'll see what's out by June.

No point in getting a new phone until we have LTE and sadly Kansas City wasn't on that list. I bet we get it soon though. Somethig about us being the Sprint world headquarters...

Sprint to get 1.5ghz dual core.

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

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.

Samsung Galaxy s3 rumors

http://nvonews.com/2012/01/11/samsung-galaxy-s3-rumors-it-may-come-with-12-mp-camera/
probably a repost but the specs on this phone are amazing!

somewhat a repost, I posted the latest rumors about the S3 on Android Authority not to long ago:

About the only thing i saw skimming that wouldn't make it for sure is the screen.
Doubling the ram isnt crazy at all. 12MP while not even desirable due to image noise is pretty low considering the HTC Titan II and others are sporting 16MP sensors. 2 Ghz A9 dual core is available pushing it a little but hey.

12 megapixels actually can be pretty good. It isnt all about megapixels. My wife has a 500 dollar Canon that is only 14. I am pretty sure our 8 megapixel is better than a lot of phones.
On my Epic mobile phone.

I think that is the Sprint LTE phone to get. My SGS2E4GT will last me until there is LTE in my area. By then the GNex will be old news. SGS3 will be my upgrade.

I hated 3D. I got an EVO 3D before and is not good watching a full movie. It hurts your eye. Why not change the screen size to match the galaxy note.

Rumors or not that image is awesome..

Go a little stronger on the radios this time Samsung... kthx.

Reality S3 probably:
1.5 Quadcore - 12MP Camera - 16/32GB - 2GB Ram
Wishful S3:
2.5GB Quadcore - 16MP camera - 32/64GB - 2/3GB Ram
What will make me say WOW is if I could replace my laptop and be able to handle medium to light heavy processing power of a laptop (probably s4)... Until then it's business as usual.

If that's true, I'm starting to save right now.

Those specs are nice, but they better make sure the radios they user are to of the line with no GPS issues or loss of signal problems and slow 3g.
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII EPIC 4g Touch on XDA Premium!

We have to remember we're dealing with a phone manufacturer AND processor maker here. It all depends on which route Samsung decides to go with their processors...the Nvidia route, and racing to add more cores; or the qualcomm route, and trying to improve and refine their dual cores. Both ways offer benefits.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't quad core. Quad core is sorta overkill and it might be a battery hog. I am thinking something bigger than 1.5 dual core is in order though.

I have tried to convince the HTC fanboys exactly this but they don't want to hear it. All they have to say it, Samsung phones are plastic and junk.....Um okay, I will enjoy my junk phone that destroys the EVO 3D in every way but you keep thinking your phone is better.
I am so glad I gave this phone a chance because it made me realize how crappy and underachievers HTC phones really are.
Whatever the SGS3 will have it will have to be an upgrade from the SGS2 and because of that, I will be on it!

well Apple called .5 an amazing revolution, I'm sure samsung can get away with calling .2 a big leap haha

This could be true but based upon all the "leaked" specs that came out right up until the release of the S3, this may all be speculation.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Good lord! That would be awesome. Specs would be second to none.
And also the better build quality thing. Although the SIII gave Apple a run for its money, a better aesthetics quality build could finally put Apple to sleep (not saying that's Samsung's objective, other creating quality devices.) But I still know a few Apple fanboy stragglers who still won't switch because of the plastic quality of the S3. Maybe this will be the straw that breaks the camels back.

Better build quality for LG = subpar build quality for even HTC. Sorry, but LG makes ****ty phones. Horrible battery life especially. I'll stick to Sammy, thanks!

In all fairness, Samsung's responded and has been pushing source code out for Exynos CPUs. It does make future purchasers skeptical, though.

the thing is with the build quality of samsung and apple from what i noticed is that the plasticy feel oh the phone actually makes it more durable against hard falls compared to apples iphone with its strong firm build of the device makes it more vulnerable when it comes to hard falls because the phone is actually pressurized to the point where one little fall can cause major damage to the iphone. so from that ill take a plastic feel of a phone against iphone build quality

I am curious about the performance of E4gT vs sgh-i957

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.

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.

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
