Pre release Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys (and girls)
It's been a while, but just letting you know I've got my hands on a pre release Galaxy Nexus....It's waiting for me at home! Anyway I'll be doing a youtube video on it later if anyone is interested. I'll post the link here!

lucky you mate!
cant wait to see the video, cheers pal!
can you please tell us about how it feels in the hand, what the screen really is like, battery and wifi performance etc.

Im interested to see if faceunlock burns any noticable battery. Turning the camera on/off so much might take up some battery life

Ok so I'll post the link tomorrow guys! Sorry about this, been asked by Samsung and Google to not post Galaxy Nexus videos until after 9am (UK time) tomorrow! I have no idea why..but either way i'll be filming tonight and will try to cover everything you ask for

Just take a pic dude. They told you don't post videos so post pic

Note to self- find an "in" with Google for the Nexus 4 launch so I can get a pre release handset. That's cool you got one so early, looking forward to vids the 17th then!

Hah, quite the Samsung Family Portrait there. Nice.
You wouldn't happen to have used the ICS Music app much, would you?

hmmm not yet...i have played on track so far though and my current thoughts are that the Nexus speaker is extremely quiet compared to the S2....also is anyone any good with facebook integration? it seems totally broken on this nexus...it may just be because of pre release software though

That's a damn shame. I'm coming from the HTC Sensation, for which the speaker volume is decidedly anemic. This better not be a trend amongst phones :\
I wish I could be of service in terms of Facebook integration. I'm assuming you mean integration with your Contacts and stuff? Aside from removing/re-adding it in the Accounts & Sync settings, I'm not sure what options you have.

yeahh it wont even let me add the account...it's sad really. Just running a quadrant test on it now...want to know the answer?

Not really until the dev calibrates Quadrant for ICS (it might just start a lot of unnecessary rioting)
Thanks for everything though, we can't wait for the videos tomorrow!

lol thats why i thought I'd ask first...don't want to cause any unnecessary panic

Errrrm Screen seems really nice...but coming from an S2 doesnt really seem that much of a step up. I do like it though. Feels lovely in the hand...and wifi seems good and stable. No idea on battery yet. will keep you posted

@Staceymobiler
Can you tell me what the headphone output is like?
Is it better or worse than the SGSII?
As far as a know the headphones on the SGSII isn't the best and I listen to a lot of music commuting so don't want to spoil my experience

Hmmm what kind of earphones are you using? I only ask because I left my "top end" sennheiser earphones at work....so I decided to try the samsung pair that came with my Galaxy Note, my sennheisers just got totally blown away they're that good.
Anyway in answer to your question output is louder on the Galaxy S2....but sound quality on them both is very similar hope this helps

What do you love about your G Pro?

As the title says,
I love the gorgeous display.

What's not to love about it. Bought the phone on Friday and I just can't get over how great this phone REALLY is. Display, speed and battery are superior to any phone I have seen or used. Did I say the display was great.... I hope we do get developers for this phone, because it would be a shame not to really see what this phone can do. I when in to ATT to purchase the HTC One, looked at the high end smart phones and walked out with the G Pro. I guess you can tell, I am quite happy with my purchase.

I love the display, size, performance and everything else hah

I released Cognition HD for the Inspire and have leaked a few updates for the i717
I got it because it has a locked bootloader, not to unlock the bootloader, lol

Love everything about it. Coming off an HTC one x and a few years of iphone use..
-super fast
-i love the customizations LG's skin has to offer
-fast charging battery ( wasnt expecting this)
-the IR remote works on everything i have and them some ( do i walk around work/mall shutting off TV's? possibly)
-widgets, launchers, games..No lag here.( i previously thought the lag on the htc one was tolerable. HA)
-cant get enough of the 5.5 inch phone. i dont grab my phones like i am grabbing a pole, or a beer, so the device is very easy to use.
-fantastic screen
-my HD movies play on it with no lag!!!!
signed up here specifically because i purchased the phone.
looks like a root it possible too!
anyone try the beats app on it? thats one thing i miss from my htc onex. the beats made a difference

Love:
Display is the best yet i have owned. Love running it at 100% lol
Speed. No lag its so quick. S4 lagged to hell.
LG launcher / Skin is very nice and so fast.
Bootloader locked. No messing with roms.
What I dislike:
Not much. Maybe the video 1080p quality. But recent updates have improved it.

He probably has one of the F240 variants for Asia and the Pacific that have been out longer than our AT&T E980's.

I also love the earphones they gave with the phone. The earplugs are comfy, it has volume controls and the connector is right angled.

Back in a phablet once again!!!

Well after a long hard 3 months using an Iphone4 after my dell Streak 5 bit the dust. I decided it was time for a new phone. My choices were either a MEGA or Note 2. I checked out both but to my surprise the mega didn't flow as nice as the Note. So I took it home with me and am now the proud owner of a Note 2:laugh:

This phone rocks anyway..
Good community here, and I can't see it going anywhere anytime soon. Most people seem to be skipping the note 3 so I'd say our phone will still be relevant for quite some time

Note 3 is not my cup of tea. ..
That processor is gonna sound like a toilet flushing the battery. ..and the camera is lacking image stabilization. .
Leather black color looks odd. ...and 5.7 inches of display was a mistake. ..
Not to mention a guaranteed lock on the bootloader with endless exploit patches sure to come. ..
Sorry. ...I'll keep my rock solid note 2...at least another year. ..or until Sammy puts out the S5 active. ...
You did well getting a note 2...as it is a great device with great support and community. ..g

The camera does have image stabilization...
Also the processor is more efficient, therefore battery life should be equivalent to ours currently.
"13MP Camera With Stabilization
The Galaxy Note 3 includes an upgraded 13MP camera that includes smart stabilization. This is Samsung’s optical image stabilization which will make photos look better thanks to advanced technology. Users also have access to a host of camera modes found on the Galaxy S4 including Dual Shot."

You said it, the note 2 isn't going anywhere the devolpment is just getting started and I've got the vzw note 2 and use the at&t Sim and both fourm s are great ! Lots of love to tha note 2

Which is going to be thru software based. But having true OIS is a big difference...
The phone is moving where the lens is sitting still. It's like it's on its own separate gyroscope!! I first seen it on the Sony camcorder at the CES show. The other functions that we'll get will be nice. But I'll hold out till the next model. Where technology will be very advanced by then...

[Q] Need Suggestion for buying this phone

Hi,
I am in India and planning to buy this phone
Budget is around 25K +-2K
Usage - 3G, WiFi, Emails, Social networking, 3D biig games (sometimes)
Need good battery life as most of the time I am on filed meeting clients.
Need good screen display quality (should not see pixelisation)
Confused between - Note 3 neo, HTC 816, Samsung galaxy S4
Suggest if there is any other phone which I can explore.

Battery life? Hands down Note 3 neo.
Screen without obvious pixels? Definitely s4
Sent from my SM-N7505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Note 3 Neo should meet your usage and battery life needs . It's best in terms of battery compared to S4 or Desire 816.
Unless you compare side by side you wouldn't notice the difference of a HD and Full HD screen and it would be in your budget as well

Correct. I am going to check the phone soon. However, sometimes we dont get to know few things just in 1 or 2 attempts.
thats why asking to ppl who is using it and ever noticed anything ... do u?

I've seen and used a lot of Samsung phones with Super AMOELD displays and never found any issues on this model. Only thing annoying is display profiles ( Standard , Dynamic etc ) is missing as feature is unavailable on 4.3 Jellybean . Hoping to see it on Kitkat update from Samsung

S4 is the perfect phone.

I was using my buddies note 3, and it was way too uncomfortable to use, and the pixel density, and speakers sucked.
S4 is like an iPhone (size and usability wise), mixed with a note (bigger than iPhone).
Perfect phone. Never gonna buy another one.

HTC Hima (One M9?)
The portal has leaked images and specs. Apparently, it'll be running the Snapdragon 810 that Samsung just scrapped for the S6 in favor of it's Exynos chipset.
I've got my eye on it

Asus Zen2 looks mighty interesting.
I'm considering this for my next phone, hopefully some dev will take a shine to it and concoct something.

Agreed. Still my daily driver. Definitely love the screen size to phone size ratio..perfect! Developers are still active for this phone (Thanks!). Looking forward to the S6, but it's hard to let go of this phone!

It is the perfect phone
I completely agree. I bought the S4 in 2013 (M919) and lost it. I waited for the S5 and seeing it was crap, I bought the S4 again.
Recently I broke the screen and thought I'd check out other phones.
After filtering my constraints :
- 5 inch max cause I use the phone one handed
- Micro SD
- Physical buttons
- Removable battery
- Full HD display
GSM Arena phone finder returned just one result. The S4
Guess this phone is going to be with me for a long time.

This phone has everything you need, man. Every time I think about upgrading I find some downside that makes me remember why I shelled out so much for the S4 in the first place; this phone has top notch specs that'll last for YEARS as long as you take care of it. I still have the original battery and charger, and I've only had to change screen protectors twice in almost two years. If I were to take off the Otterbox and screen protector, you wouldn't be able to spot the difference between my used S4 and a new one right out of the box.
I'm in no rush to upgrade. I think the only reason that I have anyway is to change it up and try something new. Pound for pound the S4 still holds it's own against current flagships.
