I have been discussing the expectations of the next Nexus device with Qbking77 and other ACS members.
Have any of you heard any news or even rumors of the next Nexus device?
Also, what are your expectations of a new Nexus phone? Including:
-Screen specs
-Internal specs
-Etc;
Input would be GREATLY appreciated on this! Thanks guys!
I think is going to be another Samsung phone. That's what I read, that google had chosen them again.
I also heard that we were going to see 5 Nexus phones but I highly doubt it.
I will probably be a quadcore but i don't really see anything wrong if they go dual core, maybe same screen size or a small bump to 4.8 to be along the lines of the Galaxy S3. 2gb or Ram and improves screen, possibly still pentile technology, which i don't mind to be honest. A 8mp improved camera.
I hope they use this OMAP processor or Exynos. Something completely open source for easy hacks and tweaks.

i havent heard new rumors for the next nexus apart from 5 nexuses rumors..
and my expectations for the next nexus following todays android phone footprint:
- made by samsung (again)
- 4.65 to 5 inch HD SAMOLED screen (with + maybe?)
- TI OMAP 5 processor
- 1 gb of memory..
- 16/32 gb internal storage (no external memory)
- 8 megapixel + FF camera
- curved glass screen
- notification light
- NFC
- possibly with android 5.0
and im hoping they will make only unlocked version..

Well I know that Google said they we're releasing 5 "devices" which the first two were the Nexus 7 and that Q thing...
But yeah, I hope it is Samsung too. I hope to see a thinner device as well. I mean the Gnex is thin but nothing like the RAZR! My father has one and I can't believe how incredibly thin it is!
As far as the innards, your right... It's gotta be quad core...

I've stopped caring about bleeding edge and have started caring about what Google cares about for their Nexus devices. A collection of hardware and software that not only "just works" but does so while giving a fantastic, great performing, and stable user experience.
Love my Galaxy Nexus and when upgrade time comes I'll continue to buy whatever they have up their sleeve, regardless of who they choose to have manufacture it.
Google IMO knows their ****.

Hey as long as they make it Black or Gunmetal color and not "Pebble Blue" I'll take those specs!
Curved glass is a must though... I love it on this Gnex
I think it would be pretty awesome to see Google pair up with motorolas hardware that would make a pretty awsome phone in my opinion.

Motorola RAZR thinness maybe... But knowing their reputation with Motoblur I doubt they would let Google get away with a device without it...
But YES the build quality of a Motorola would feel slightly better than the plasticity of the Nexus devices in the past...
Let's all cross our fingers! Lolz.
I enjoy the 4.65" screen but I think it's still pushing it. I sincerely hope it doesn't get any bigger than it already is, but I know plenty of people would beg to differ.

As long as the next one has softkey's I wouldn't mind a slightly larger screen due to the fact that the keys take up screen space...
But 5" would be WAY too much... I would never get a Galaxy Note for that reason...
A better battery it's all I want
I don't care if the screen gets larger as long as they go longer rather than wider again like they did with this one.

I say Google will put more ram like 2gn, to not be overshadowed by the s3 or iPhone 5. I also think a bigger screen, more memory(a lot of people have been complaining maybe they listen), and hopefully omap 5.

What an odd thing for you to say. Just buy the gsm version.
My guess is that it will be similar to the gs3 but redesigned w/o the hardware button.
I also hope for a better screen, camera and noise cancellation

not a single rom/apps harness the entire 1gb of memory until now, even most costum rom builders here are always keeping their rom memory friendly.. so really theres no point having over 2gb of memory beside spec sheet show-off..
also, smartphone screens caps at 5 inch max imo.. above that would be galaxy note territory.. and i dont think nexuses would compete with note..
Here's what I wish next nexus has:
4-4.6' super amoled HD/plus/super LCD.
latest TI omap/ other powerful processor
16/32 GB storage for international version!
8/12 MP + other hardware features/Low light..etc
1+ GB RAM
battery life Razor MAxx or S3. 3.8V battery
build quality like One X or Razor. as thin as S3/One X.
I wish there are many nexus devices with various screen size. For me 4 inch screen is the best size....
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

to tell you the truthis dont care about camera i care about speed and battery life plus the wireless sync plus i have a sd card full of blue ray movies from piratebay which i dont have to convert i love the screen plus im a heavy texter so the spen will come handing

i going to buy the sprint one or the verizon one so i could flash to verizon prepaid or boostmobile

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.

you can wait for what you really like...but fact is that something always comes out new and better every time..so your playing the waiting game over and over..its your call..as for me just got the GS3 when it came out and im thinking of pulling the trigger again on the note 2 this time..but like your said OPPo 5 sure is nice :victory: ahhhhhhh:silly: must have the latest and greatest :highfive:
I'm hoping the Next Nexus will come out sometime in December, so that way if I really like it I can turn my GALAXY Note II back in.

I didn't want to update to the S3 b/c they made it a dual core phone in America. So I'm waiting for a quad core or better upgrade to the GalaxyS2.
get the note 2! it's quad core.
Note 2 will be next phone
Prolly the s4 but ill play the note 2 to see if I like it.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I agree with you, the S3 is a nice phone but not a huge upgrade from this phone unless you are in one of those few areas with lte already. Note2 is too big for me. I think the Nokia Windows 8 phones are nice, wonder if they will go Android in the future as well. Heck Windows 8 may end up being awesome. Android can be frustrating at times.
I think I'll be speaking for a lot of people in a wimax market / non wimax market without network vision coming in till next year...
Not upgrading until LTE + NV upgrades improve data speeds.
SO probably not till the S4 or any other highly competitive / powerful phone next summer when network vision is going to hit or will hit the majority of the sprint network along with 800mhz + clearwire TD LTE 2.5-2.6ghz starting to become active.
I'll skip the S3 since I really don't see much of a Diff from my S2 to warrant an upgrade at this time. Bring on the S4!!! LOL
I'll probably wait til the s4. The feature I'm waiting for the most is the camera. I want faster focus and burst shot, and last but certainly not least, a lens that is MUCH better in low light. It has to be equal or better than the iphone 5's.
I agree, buying a LTE phone that doesn't support 800mhz LTE band is pretty dumb.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Ill be either going with the note 2 or the LG optimus g(next nexus) the optimus on sprint is 4.7" true HD IPS screen with 1280x768 resolution snapdragon s4 pro 1.5ghz quad core, 2gb ram, 13mp rear cam, 1.3mp ffc, 2100mah battery. Specs are close to the note 2 minus the smaller screen and the note 2 has a 3100mah battery, otherwise the specs are pretty close. Google's new nexus affiliate program looks like we may have a plethora of nexus phones to choose from, they just have to meet minimum hardware requirements and have any 3rd party UIs or apps as a separate install thru a theme manager, so it ships with aosp and then u can choose to add sense, TWiz, blur etc.
We are legion, for we are many.

The nexus is apparently shipping on android 4.2, however it is still unknown if 4.2 is a JellyBean update or if it will be Key Lime Pie, as quickly after JB was released to the nexus release I'm guessing 4.2 is going to just be an update to JB to add the stylus function and a few other new functions to aosp that were previously manufacturer specific(included in 3rd party UIs) to allow for the nexus affiliate program to move forward and the UIs just needing the launcher/Widgets/apps installed instead of an entire rom needing to be flashed through the system manager

There are rumors that around 25 nexus branded devices from the new program will be available between now and q1 of 2013, some phones, some tablets and some media devices. I'm hoping they make a nexus version of the note 2 since it meets the spec requirements it would only need an aosp version to qualify for the nexus branding

this, exactly.
i get a new device every year (at a minimum), as a rule. i was an htc fan for some time, but (coming from the EVO) the evo3d just did not impress at all, so jumped to sammy this year, with a bit of hesitation. no real regrets so far...
but so far this year, the GS3 seems a nice bump, but not a true step forward.
the HTC X series seems nice (for HW reasons), as a possibility, or possibly the Note 2.
but nothing i've seen in the last few months really grabs my balls and demands attention.

You sound like me. I dropped that Evo3d ASAP and got a GS2 though. Prior to that I had an Evo 4g Touch pro 2, Touch Pro, Mogul, Apache me and HTC went way back, but the Sprint S2 killed that love in a blink of an eye. Straight Talk and my S3 killed my love for Sprint....Pending LTE deployment in my neck of the woods. I am in love with this S3. At first I had bad experiences with the battery life, but after I installed the XDA battery life fix I get battery well over 10 hours and in emergency situations I have seen it get over a day worth of battery life with the screen using 3 hours of that time.
Im definitely waiting on the S4. I just hope that the battery life will match my current device the s3. Hoping there is a15 quad core upgraded GFX and the jaw dropping 3gb of ram. Only thing I am worried about is flash compatibility. That was one of my main reasons
I'm waiting on something noticeably better when it comes to specs and build quality. My contract was up 2 months ago, but theirs nothing out there worthy of upgrading to. The Optimus G looks good spec wise, but the build quality is questionable. I'm hoping HTC gets their act together and continues improving their uni body designs.
i dunno about you guys but i gave up on htc long ago so ill be skipping the htc one announced today. ill be waiting for the galaxy s 4 this spring or summer.
thoughts?
Note 3.
G●Note~2 {Jedi X5}
Next phone? geez i just got this one! wont be a next phone for a while... im gonna let the market playout and by the time im ready to replace my N2 phones will have evolved into something different and worth while... im not into paying for suttle changes every 6 months
long live the N2 (i hope, lol)
The galaxy s 4 will be a pretty big update. Lets face it its hard to keep your current phone for 2 years. Im lucky if i do for 4 months lol. Im going to wait until june-july and buy the gs4. The note 2 will be the second longest phone ive held on to since the evo4g.
From phandroid 2/16/13 "According to a PDF file from South Korean financial services company Mirae Asset Group, Samsung’upcoming top-selling device will have a 5-inch 1920x1080p display, Android 4.2 and 2 GB of RAM. It is also stated that it will not feature that super-charged octa-core Exynos 5410 processor we saw at CES. Instead, the Galaxy S4 should have an Exynos 5440 quad-core Cortex A15 processor."
I agree... its a big update, coming from the S2 or similar phone, coming from the N2, not so much. 5" screen, granted, higher res but at the distance we hold our phones i doubt you'll see much of a difference, same size ram as the N2, no S-pen...
Speculated, 13 MP camera is nice tho....if it does incorporate it
Its just not that impresive to me yet. But if u got the means to upgrade every 4 to 6 months then more power to you....
I'll wait for bigger changes

Since I only buy phones when upgrade time rolls around, the next phone isn't for 2 more years, and by then the tech will have jumped way far away than I can think.
So the GN2 will be it for quite a while.
Nah, ill be waiting on the note 4 in two years maybe lol. The note 2 is a beast. Honestly in terms of real world use what more could you be looking for in a phone? Our phone literally never lags, has lte coming, great design, great community etc.... I mean honestly what is the point. I understand in the past it might have been worth the upgrade to get a phone with "less lag" or "better battery" or "better screen" but I dont see that here. I have the means to upgrade every week if I wanted to but im not blinded by spec sheets and hype. My note 2 is a monster in all aspects of a phone and until something actually revolutionary comes out (second iteration of google glasses maybe), this will be my phone for the foreseeable future.

I agree with others who say this phone is plenty for the time being. I cant imagine other phones allowing me to do half the stuff I do with this phone.

Same feeling here. This is the best phone I've ever used over the past 5 years. Nothing touches this beast. It's f**ukin awesome! I'm gonna try holding on to this for atleast a year, if not more. The only thing that has peaked my interest is the upcoming Motorola x phone.

Read my mind for this ^
I don't know yet. I'll see what this year holds. The HTC One is tempting and ticks a few of the right checkboxes (aluminum build, front-facing stereo speakers and integrated IR port, to name a few) but I think the likelihood of me going for that phone is slim. The SGNII has spoiled me quite a bit.
If I had to guess, the SGS4 would have a 5" or so 1080p display, 12 or so MP camera and [hopefully] come in 32 and 64 GB versions with MicroSD support and would be a prime candidate for my next phone...until the Galaxy Note 3 is released LOL.

Check fancy widgets or beautiful widgets. I did a quick search on Google. I suggest searching Google before you post.

That's what I'm saying. They doubled the RAM, improved the processor, raised the resolution, made the screen bigger, improved the camera, added some pretty cool software features and yet people are complaining and bashing it lol.
I'm a Nexus fan and will always buy Nexus phones, but the S4 is a solid device and will sell like hotcakes.
People just love to complain.

Only thing i hate is that they sticked with that "white and blue" colors.. i've allways loved black phones:/
They made a special edition SIII in black.. wich had LTE.. but it costed like the same as the SIII + half of that again.. xD made me sad..I wanted to try they're new processors power etc But i had my friends SIII for two weeks, so i got to root and flash and have alittle fun
it still has a hard home key. wtf, arent hard key that only serve one purpose morbidly outdated? and capacitive keys as well, i just always feel as if that is space that could be used for more screen and less hardware... but then again im a google whore and the nexus line can do no wrong.

I agree lol, what did we get from galaxy nexus to nexus 4? A little more pixel, diferent screen tech, bump on camera, mmm better build..... Not much difference software update wasn't there at all, I'm hoping to see Google add a lot feature on their upcoming update, I like TW feature but I hate how it looks completely and sometimes don't feel like flashing a theme, anyways back on topic to the op you might find one in the market soon or here in XDA

Keep in mind that the Galaxy S line has been a huge success from the S, to the S3. With each one you only ever see them improving on what the last one had. The S4, is essentially a way faster S1.
Like the iPhone 5, it is essentially a way faster iPhone3G.
What you'll notice is that you'll only find drastic changes to the design if what was previously done didn't sell well.
Think about Nokia and Windows Phone. They've had so little success that they had to go for broke and change everything about their phones. Even Sony took the 'Ericsson' out of their brand to ditch the bad rep and start anew.
The S3 was insanely popular, so the S4 will only have incremental changes. If the S3 had a physical home key and was so successful, why take it out?

Their two colors is white and black for the S4. Black coming back was a good move.

u sure..? I am reading the info right now.. and they are saying white and blue..sIV
EDIT: I saw it, it's called "Nova Black".. in the videos it dosn't look black, or dosn't even look good. I have to see this for my own eyes before even comparing it to my sexy N4!

i understand what youre saying as far as designs go. i just hate buttons is all. but as far as popularity goes apple had it right with the iphone 4, and even being an adamant hater of all things apple, i still like how the iphone 4 looks and feels in the hands. but for now im gonna stick with my n4 and pretend to be pretentious because i paid half and got it unlocked
