Gnex looks completely different

Am I the only one confused about gnexs looks?

That phone looks nothing like what I've got in hand. It's slimmer and the display is more curved.
Gsm version or prototype?

Thats the fake picture someone made when Samsung released the teaser.

Neither, it's a 3D render.
Probably of the GSM version, though, which is slightly thinner than the LTE. Other than that, they still do look the same; I'm not sure what major difference you're seeing.

The Nexus would suck if it was that curved. Seriously?
Why are you using an old, user-created image? Go to Google's or Verizon's site.
Troll?

Yeah the Samsung person that created the teaser must have changed the curvature a lot otherwise it looks the same.

I totally agree. The curve is no where the same on this phone. It'd be nice if it was though.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

It looks the same but the curve isn't as dramatic.
Seriously, just look at the official Google/Samsung Pics.

Also seems like the corners are slightly more rounded in the real version.

Omg, if this is the SGS III. That's supposed to be the invitation, and even with only half the phone.......
PURE BEAUTY!!!!

WHAT IS THIS TOM FOOLERY?
Looks like it might've been inspired by jets or metallic items?

Regardless of what you guys think of the GS3, this design (if it is real) is by far the most unique in the Android market thus far.
Man, so sleek and shiny.

It would fit in with reports of them trying to get in on the London Olympics marketing opportunity.....seeing as the location for unveiling is supposed to be London

If this turns out to be true then I guess I'm prepared to get used to TouchWiz. Lol.

No need.....the first ROMs almost always get rid of touchwiz
That's why we flash ROMs and Kernels.....SGS has great dev support and I'm sure there will be a ton of AOSP ROMs etc...just like the SGSII has now.

If that really is the GSIII....... 'Wow' is all I can say !!

Need this. Now.

If it looks anything like that I'm going to be Very tempted, that thing is gorgeous. I especially like the fact it doesn't look like an iphone this time around

woww. I really thought I was gonna hold onto my GN until the next nexus device but there's no way I'll be able to resist this.

It is definitely unique. Is that the back? Regardless, the Galaxy Nexus had a "wow factor" but that would have a panty dropping factor.

The one in the invitation looks a bit different than the earlier leaks in terms of that bezel.
They probably exaggerated the curves/angles a bit just like they did in the Galaxy Nexus invitation video that gave a glimpse of the curved body.
I'd want just half the phone based on those looks in the invitational.....haha

Looks classy... Samsung may just yet be the company that finally steals a solid number of users away from Apple. And I don't mean the Android operating system as a whole. I mean that the Galaxy SIII itself will sells millions.
Either way, it's nice to see that Android has a serious manufacturer that isn't Google itself and yet is still willing to create a damn good Android device.

Everyone here is pretty gullible. Besides, we all know a metal finish just results in sweaty, fingerprint filled front. Hah, no thanks. The Nexus and One X have got it right.

I don't think this should be in the GNex section. Even if General.

But yeah, it shouldn't be in the Gnex section.

only SGS has many devs. SGS2 devs most has given up, left, or jumpship to other device, AOSP didnt really work as much as HTC AOSP roms, as not much that do the coding except for few. The only Samsung devices that i see has a long dev support are SGS, Nexus S, Gnex. Other than that, HTC reigns as the dev favourites. SGS2 dev support was ruined by Samsung themselves. I am not sure if they wont do the same to S3. I'll be sticking to Nexus line.

Lot of people getting excited over a pretty non-descript piece of metal Couldn't tell you if it was the front or rear, but it looks like the arse end of a piece of cutlery

Depends, hardware is better, but development is going to be slow and not as great in the long run. It really c;mes down to software or hardware, personally I will never buy anything not called a Nexus. But, it is your decision.

Agreed however they are scheduled for an OTA ICS this week ( T-Mobile) which should speed up development. I myself come from the White S2 and I must admit I like my GN much more. Its a sleek sexy phone, not to mention the pure android experience, something you can get a taste of but not the full experience on the S2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The Nexus is like a Galaxy S2½. So, there should be something else added to the trade. Maybe GS2 + US$100 = GNex.

Nope. Wouldn't suggest it.

Because it's white? Get a white case if you want that color. Your getting a lesser phone if you trade.

I think its a better phone but its software is less. Nowhere near the same dev support or official support. If history repeats itself the s2 will only get one major update. I doubt it will ever see anything past ics.

Yeah thinking about it its a aweful idea mostly for the reason above unless u want to update your phone soon again lol

I think I'm going keep my gn I really like it I don't know much on the s2 just that it looks cool. I know I can do white case lol I like the white housing but then I need a case for the s2 anyways to protect it so I have put white case on s2 so I will looking into and find a nice white case for my gn
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Don't get it. As a fellow Kitchener dude (that doesn't matter, though) believe me, you won't like an S2. I've used one, and I prefer my current GNex. The screen on the S2 feels like a step down despite being non-pentile, due to the low resolution. Also, TouchWiz is horrid. There are so many minor things at which the GNex is a better choice.
1) Dev support
2) Timely updates
3) Better screen
4) Better design (curved)
5) Stock
6) Better battery life
7) NFC
8) On-screen buttons
9) Better performance (TouchWiz on ICS takes up more RAM than stock launcher, etc)
10) No stupid carrier bloatware
11) No Samsung Kies
You've already made the decision, so I'm just adding this here in case you had second thoughts.

hes just trying to sell his product, that is all. what do you expect him to say, anything manufactured by his company and sold by crApple to stay away from? thats something that i would say..

The IP5 may indeed spank the SGSIII in some people's eyes, they do get to have a standard to go against now, it's an endless game of leapfrog and trying to raise the bar.
I'm an outlaw though, it's hard to be an outlaw with an Iphone, that's more of a yuppy/emo/hipster thing.

If it still has that stiff brick like shape its a doa

Won't iPhone 5 be released like 4-5 months after initial international release of S3? That's an eternity for technology. I'd sure hope it beats the S3 handily.
-Sent from a GSM Galaxy Nexus (RAScream+Trinity).-

I do believe the iPhone 5 will be a nice device but remember these are the same people that convinced iPhone 4 owners that they needed to by an iPhone 4S because of Siri and people actually believed they owned the best device because of this.
Luckily Android users are smarter then that and do not buy into the whole hype building from these manufacturer's. We need to see the worth in the upgrade or a lot of us will not spend the money like iHippies.
Plus we already saw what iOS 6 is bringing to the table, one of the main focuses is Siri fixes. lol

I dunno...
The thing holding back the GNex, SGSII, SGSIII and other Android devices is the AMOLED screen. If they had the display of the iPhone 4s but larger, it would spank the iPhone with one hand tied behind it's back.

To be honest I bough the GN because of the large screen... my old iPhone was just too small for my hands. Now with the iPhone 5's bigger screen I guess I'll have to see how much the extra screen real estate makes a difference, I doubt much as far as typing goes though due to the same width!

Because it means l'm not easily fooled by bull**** products.

I traded my Epic Touch for this phone. Mainly for the pure Google greatness that is the Nexus Project. I got sick of having a phone that I had to mod out of the box to be mildly satisfied with. Having a phone that starts with AOSP is a wonderful thing. As for the iPhone. I will never knowingly buy an apple product. I try to stay as informed as I can and by doing that I just cannot buy a product from a company I truly hate. After having this phone for a few weeks I can say this. As long as Samsung makes the nexus. I will never buy a non nexus phone again.

The worse battery life...

The iphone 5 has a stupid aspect ratio on the screen. They also kept the width the same while increasing the length LOL? Viewing pictures on it must be odd..I can care less about the A6 processor and the new camera.

According to apple my gnex is already essentially an iPhone except without the locked down iOS, that the sheeple seem to love.
