What do you Imagine in the next Nexus Phone?

Well, i have to say that i love the Pure Google Experience that Nexus phones brings to customers, i feel really atracted by the fact that Nexus phones gets updates so frequently and mainly it's style. I followed closely all the Nexus Phones, Specially the last one, the Galaxy Nexus. Although i like it very much, The desing could be a bit more attractive, what disappointed to me is the hardware. 5 Megapixel Sensor in a TI OMAP 4460 Chipset? Are you Kidding me? What could be the reason, don't know, although it only carries 5mp camera the quality is very good and the 1080p 30fps video recording is good also, but i expected a better hardware, don't know in that moment what was better, anyways, the hardware could handle the 720p resolution just fine. What i'd like to see in the next Nexus phone is:
*Display: 4.7" with 720p Resolution, Super Amoled+ without Pentile.
*1.5 GB or 2GB of RAM
*TI OMAP5430 or 5432 Processor at 1.5 or 2.0 GHz 28nm Dual Core or Quad Core Processor with POWERVR™ SGX544-MPx
*8MP Camera (Its fine with 8mp but if they want to add 12mp or 20mp its welcome!) with 1080p 60fps Video recording.
*Better audio and Speaker hardware.
*2150mAh Battery
*Android 5.0 Jelly Bean.
*4G LTE Support
What do you expect from the next Nexus Phone?

You pretty much nailed the specs just need the shell, camera and battery to follow suit.
Razr Max battery life
Attractive build that feels premium

Why? Removable storage + partitions + UMS is a joke and annoying to deal with. Give me single storage with MTP any day. Just bump it up to 32gb/64gb this time around.

Seriously. Especially considering the MAXX can do it now. All phones should have it by the end of the year.
As far as OP goes, I'm down with that except:
*we need a bigger battery than 2150mAh. Let's do 3000mAh+, we know its possible.
*we don't need a larger camera sensor, we need a better one. With good software. MP's don't really matter.
*why just LTE? nowhere else in the world is close to adopting LTE other than North America. Let's see 42mbps (why not 84mbps?) dual-carrier HSPA+, with a pentaband radio. We need that option too.

Well actually the 1650mAh Battery in my galaxy s2 is fine, i finish the day with 50% battery.. I'm not a heavy user.. Think for me should be enough with 2150.. But, always more is welcome..! What do you all think about the processor? That TI OMAP 5430 Looks powerful and promising!

Except it'll be for sale in November, and all phones will have similar specs by that time.
The Nexus S was ~$600 with WVGA screen, 512mb RAM and 1ghz single core processor in 2010.
The Galaxy Nexus with 720p screen, 1gb RAM and 1.2ghz dual core processor wasn't $1000 in 2011...
The price will be about the same.

Why would Google put am sd card slot when they have practically abandoned the idea both in the galaxy nexus and nexus 7?

the presence of the sd card slot makes this article fishy. we all now what's Google's take on that matter. also if they're going to use a dual core, it's gonna be A-15.

For me the dual core is pity . Yet the US version of the SGS3 runs fine on a good dual core.

If they bring out a new nexus it has:
- A15 dual-core
- OR a A9 quad-core
A A9 dual-core is hardly an upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus. So this is bogus

publisher of the article said in comments:
We made a mistake in the second picture sorry.
And we are not sure if codename GT-I9260 = NEXUS.[...]no we have the information about I9260.
But I9250 Galaxy Nexus is close…. so thats the reason we used ” nexus ” as name.

so maybe there will be a gt-i9260 but not nexus. Could be a s2 plus.

Yea dual core a9 at any frequency is a no go. Maybe it will be a rerelease of the gnex?

If it is GSM, then it will be pentaband (work on both). I don't think Google will release another GSM Nexus that isn't pentaband.

I don't think that the next Nexus will be a super phone. Past 2 nexus devices didn't pack stellar specs. I think Google doesn't want a stellar device, they just want something that'll get the job done with developers. I LOVE the size of the GNex and hope they don't go bigger. My 3 cents.

Really hope it isn't a dual core a9 again, or I'll give it a miss
Then again will announce for official announcement before deciding anything, strange we haven't had any news yet.. this time last year I'm sure we knew some things

Hoping for a 4.8", 32GB internal memory as the lowest (64GB possibility? in a more expensive version, 16GB is meh), 3.5mm" jack up on top instead of bottom, 2500 mAh battery.

i think next nexus will run omap5.
and the purpose of the nexus is to show that android can run butter smooth with a not-top-of-the-line device.

- Please no increase in screen size. Okay, I could live with 4.8" but let's stop there then.
- You won't see too much internal memory as long as Google tries to push its cloud services.
- I actually like the phone jack on the bottom. If I take the GNex out of the pocket when it's up side down, I automatically have it correctly in my hand.
- I totally agree on bigger battery! It's one of my most-wanted features!

OMAP 5 would be great! But there aren't that many possibilities in terms of open source anyway. I'm not sure about Tegra, but I'm pretty sure Exynos and Qualcomm chipsets are too closed down to come into a Nexus device. So there's not a lot remaining But I too hope they definitely bring an A15 based SoC. We really need better power management!

Internal memory? The Verizon Galaxy Nexus starts off with 32GB; whereas, the GSM version starts at 16GB. There was a rumor that there will be a 32GB GSM and it was cancelled. Options are good as long as the price isn't too much to not justify the purchase. Even a better choice would be to offer a 16GB/32GB/64GB. But I really prefer 32GB as the starting point and then 64GB if people want that. I personally don't like the cloud because I'm in New York City, I spend a lot of time underground (subways) and there isn't service down there. Not to mention, if you're on a carrier with a monthly cap (AT&T, Verizon) cloud is a huge no no as well.
Secondly, I guess it's just preference. I personally prefer mines up top because of my headphones (its a L shaped and not I shaped so L shape goes better for top. Just my opinion.
Battery... I hope so too! I hope they follow the hands of Galaxy Note II in terms of battery without compromising the size of the phone.
Although I do wish Google marketed their Nexus line of phones better. It could be a huge blow to Apple's iPhone 5.

Hold off on The Note II?

Basically, I am wondering if anyone is considering holding off on the Note II for something greater. Don't get me wrong, the Note II has fantastic specs; but all the breakthrough recently has made me wonder.
Samsung is starting to make their own mobile cameras, and is rumored to have a 13MP (I know MP isn't everything). This could mean drastic improvement on lenses and low light snapping. And now with recent news that Samsung has broke through with a DDR3 memory chip. Oppo also has a 5" 1080p, 445 PPI screen.
All this makes me think killer phones will be shown at CES, that aren't the typical improvements to annual versions. Anyone else going to hold off?

I think the note can hold its ground even with the 1080p displays and new quad core snap Dragon processors coming out. And if you want a 5.5 inch screen with s pen capabilities the note is the only way to go, and don't forget the huge 3100 mah battery that may rival the razr max battery life.
Sent from my Verizon Nexus

Will it make the Note 2 any less interesting ? The Note 2 has features (S pen) that a oppo 1080P screen with not replace.
otherwise I would be still with my ipad 3 with that retina display
I also want to try a bigger screen than my Galaxy nexus and see if I would be ok to stop using my nexus 7 as well.

big screen, a proper stylus, and separate keys.
i doubt any phone will have that until the note 3.

I think the note ii is perfect since they really focused on old technology and made it better, I'm talking about software, battery life, less bugs, and more development. If u hold of to a phone with new breakthrough technology the software, battery life, bugs, and development will be very low/bad. By the time your eligable for an upgrade all the breakthrough technology will be top notch running at its best capabilities

I know the adage about waiting in tech for the next big thing but I really feel the new exynos 5250 will be worth waiting for. My ideal phone would be the note3 with new exynos which of course won't be out for at least a year. I'm torn and might get the note2 anyways but I'm willing to be patient for now.

i don't know what the big deal is about exynos. the s4 has proven to be a competent SOC and pretty good on power management. the padfone 2 is a S4 pro even and rumored to be quad. i do give the nod to exynos having mali400 gpu though. not because it's more powerful, (because the adreno 320 is a powerhouse itself), but the mali400 has more support. all that said i'd rather see more imagination technologies in SOC's because they're very good gpu's and have a lot more support, iphone having a lot to do with that.

I would go crazy. I think that device is great . I actually know someone who paid and got it imported.

Replacing my arc.

Hey guys so I've been wanting to get a new phone. So far I'm looking at nexus 4/note 2/one x+.
I'm looking for a quad core phone.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
So far I've been advised to wait until january to get a new phone. Or use windows 8 phones. Any ideas?
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app

Its too late for the Nexus 4 cause google wont send it until January, the note 2 is fast but the build materials are bad(cheap plastic), to me looks like the best choice is the One X+...
So you have to wait for the great N4(I have one) or get a HOX+ that is also a great phone
Windows Phone is a joke, you cant even share things by bluetooth

HTC DNA? Apparently it's the best phone.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

DNA doesnt have storage expansion. damn.. so many choices. note 2 looks to be the best choice with the cheap plastic aside. note 2 also has a lower pixel density. dna wins at front facing camera but with only 16gb built in its not enough. onex+ has only 1gb ram.
anyone know any other phones with large storage/expansion, quad core, 2gb ram?

Hmmm, 16gb should be enough for everything. But, I guess the note 2 is the best for you.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app

Well the LG Optimus G have 32Gb, 12mp camera, quadcore s4 pro, 2Gb RAM, also gets the highest benchmarks score than any other phone

I have a Nexus 4. It's fast but 4.7" is *almost* too big for my small girlish hands and the camera isn't particularly great. I think my arc S took much better pictures tbh.
If I was going to buy a new device tomorrow I'd probably try one of these:
http://www.reghardware.com/2012/11/19/review_acer_cloud_mobile_android_handset/
It's an Acer S500. Yes, I'd never heard about their phones either but I really like the design of this, the screen is absolutely amazing, it's nearly stock Android (tweaked lock screen and notification bar and that's about it), it has a removable battery and a microSD card slot. It's only dual-core though but in the videos I've seen it looks pretty fast. But I have no idea if Acer are any good or not.
I just can't get excited about HTC phones.
