No lol. Not even close to a consideration here. It has Sense. And its not a Nexus... by the time this comes out the Nexus will be 5 months old and it still isn't a consideration for me.

Yes. Its gonna have Snapdragon S4 dual core (which should have good performance though) in order to have AT&T LTE.
Also, it only has 512mb RAM. Releasing in April... Really?

The phone hasn't been released. The quad core version might best the Nexus but still have sense.

HTC put themselves in trouble the way I see it.. they release a few new phones that are not very impressive.. yea it has ics and a few cool features and a quad core processor which every phone will soon have but not anything to die for... I would take a gsII over this and its a year old... and now with the GSIII coming out soon, this will be outdated in know time.. I'm slightly disappointed:/ so I will defiantly be holding on to my nexus for at least a year unless Samsung really impresses me!

I just realized I forgot to add that in so I modified my post but all phones will have quad core soon...dual core on my nexus is fast enough for me.. yea, a quad core wouldn't hurt but what they released is not eye opening to me..

Why does it matter that it has Sense? You and majority of the people on XDA have a custom rom loaded. Even though the Galaxy Nexus has pure Android, many use a custom rom.
If you were given a phone with 512mb ram and 1gb of ram, I bet you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
An April release is considered good for Android. That's a little over a month away. Android manufacturers are notorious for announcing a device well before the release date.

Device envy is such a buzz kill!

HTC sucks. After the hd2 there hasn't been one good device from them. Our device will not be outdated. Nexus s and Galaxy Nexus will be future proof. I'm only supporting Samsung they seem to be the only consistent company as far as devices.
How about releasing a quad core hd2 with a better display and ffc. That phone will never die. Endless support.

Actually I don't have a custom ROM. That's why I bought a Nexus lol. And that doesn't mean I can't hate on Sense (had an Evo 4G, and I'm scarred for life). I'm glad they're making it lighter than previous versions, but its still there...

Thing is, its being released already behind on this spec. Phones already have 1gb RAM. It will be VERY tired with 512mb a year from now when I'm expected to still be using it. Not future proof at all with 512mb, that's my point.

I'm not hating on the release date. I'm simply pointing out that its coming out in April and at that point the GSM GNex is coming up on 5months old and I still wouldn't consider it.

Generic "OMGZ! A NEW PHONE VS OUR Nexus" answer:
No, I'm not interested, otherwise I would take part in the discussion in the proper sub-forum.
Also I'm not interested if there is any extra UI on it that I cannot disable/uninstall.
The manufacturer doesn't release the original ROM for download so I can flash it back if necessary? Not interested.
Deserved 1-star rating for the thread: applied.

Yes you will notice, same as dual core vs single core. With 1GB of data more resources can be loaded for the launcher. I like not having my launcher not have to be reloaded all the time.

New Nexus phone in Fall?

Should I expect a Nexus announcement around November or do you think we won't see a new Nexus phone this year?

Probably gonna happen. But no one knows. I'd be surprised if they let a year go by without updating the reference Nexus hardware.

There's rumours that you will see 5 nexus devices this year.
Whispers are saying that different manufacturers will all release a nexus device at the same time...
Don't how true it is mind.
Personally i think either Samsung or Motorola will release the next version on their own as always, but time will tell.

That's what i read.
It will probably be around 600-700 at launch.
Not sure of I want to pay that much. The Galaxy Nexus looks really good right now though.
So of they do release a Nexus phone it will only be hardware and no software since they jusy released JB.
We'll see what happens though.
I am just trying to figure out wether to buy a Nexus now or wait for the next one.

Samsung Galaxy S4 to launch in February: report

Yep, ZDNet and other sources have the same scoop. Rumored to be 5" screen and quad core - more than likely a similar config to the Note 2.

lol.. I cant wait to see what goodies the new S4 will hold.... My current S2 is keeping my happy, by the time LTE even gets to me in Los Angeles county, the S3 wouldn't be useful for me and I'd have wanted the next S.X model

Can't wait till early 2014. We'll probably have the S6 by then. I like big upgrades, not incremental upgrades.

Well, this basically just stopped me from buying the S3

I'm just, sorta, glad that i don't live in a market with 4g or lte and there's no plans in the future for either. Sad about that but less pressure for my wants and desires..
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2

I...highly doubt..that the S4 will be released that soon. Samsung's not dumb.
The only reason they would put out a true successor so soon would be if the technologies involved were fantastic enough. In my mind, that would be a 1080p screen and the exynos 5. Those two probably would warrant a quicker push simply to be very far ahead of the pack.
Though I can't shake this feeling that we'll be seeing the exynos 5 in the next nexus, probably this fall. Nexus' are very much reference models, and releasing the first A15 as a nexus just sounds like such a good idea.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Samsung always gimps the nexus line of phones so that its galaxy line will sell better. I seriously doubt the next nexus will have the a15 soc, probably the krait. Google needs to give someone else a shot on the next nexus cuz Samsung is not trying to sell out its own galaxy line, I'm not impressed with the past 2 nexus devices.

Wish the new phone was wimax/LTE so I can have a new phone to use till LTE comes out on the west coast.

They shouldnt go with a 5 inch screen. They have note for bigger screens.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

As long as the phones actual dimensions do not get bigger (5.5" x 2.5"ish) then it'll be fine for most people i guess. I envision the phone being "launched" like the galaxy s2 intl' at MWC with actual phones becoming on sale near the end of april/early may. Makes most sense with Sammys 1 year upgrade cycle.

Well seeing I am new to the E4GT. I am enjoying my S2. Come next year, I might be interested in the S4. Hopefully it will have newer features and improvements to make the phone stay very popular like the S2 and my old phone HTC EVO 4G. So far I am enjoying Samsung over HTC.
Now lets see this holiday season if Samsung and HTC throw dirty balls at Apple to delay the I5.

Its google's decision for the specs, they're trying to support more SoC and prove a point its not about power but software. Samsung simply just makes it. If was up to Samsung we would've seen an SD card support already for the nexus
line. I just hate their plastic built.

I think Samsung releasing a S4 would be a good way to give the iPhone 5 some good competition in the first and second quarter of next year.
Why else would the be pushing the S3 right now? They want to sell as many S3's as they can so they can still finish out this year in the lead of all the competition. Then release the S4 to start the year next year.

The next new software feature that the S4 will have is called, "make puns and insults about iPhone". My favorite feature lol..

That's really just an assumption more than anything else. Considering that most devices have well over a year of development cycle, and that the Google-Motorola deal wasn't finalized too long ago, it probably won't be until next summer that we see the fruits of the relationship.
Samsung still seems like the clear favorite for the next nexus, considering only their manufacturing prowess. HTC has too many problems right now, and LG's just don't sell well. Now Asus...I could really get on board with an Asus made phone. I'd argue they are on a similar plane as Samsung, albiet a slightly different one. Samsung's big advantage is their experience as a fab and foundry. Asus obviously has a celebrated PC motherboard heritage. Both are very good at engineering and design.
Could you imagine a joint-device between them? It will never happen, but I would weed-wack my grandmother for an Asus engineered, Samsung sourced and manufactured, Google coded device.

I know.but i have read earlier somewhere that it will be released by google. So it will get all the updates. So basically it is another nexus without the name cause google have already released the nexus last year november

Still not relevant.

First off, thats a render. Something anyone can do in Photoshop. So dont get too excited. Second, that may not be a "Nexus" device. Google bought Motorola a while ago and was rumored to be making a phone with them. It May or may not be the next nexus. Bottom line, no one knows what will be announced at Google I/O. So no one here can actually advise you on wether to wait or not.

I'm in the same boat. Personally I will wait till the next Nexus phone. It's just not worthy it to buy an soon to be outdated phone right now.

Motorola Mobility is operated as a separate entity. As one of the regulatory conditions of the acquisition, Google gives them no preferential treatment above any other OEM.

Exactly, all I could find was actually pretty good news:
"Our sources left us with some more info regarding the OS. Android 5.0 will be an optimized OS and will run well even on devices with 512 MB of RAM"
If that quote is true, people with Nexus S and Galaxy S phones will still be able to port this over, and maybe it will even run better than JB? Who knows, but fingers crossed.

Look at the Android Developers channel, under the video "Android Graphics Performance". GPU operations for drawing have been optimized by over 60% in some cases.

Bottlenecks in Nexus S are 512 RAM and 1000Mhz CPU single core.
I have one Galaxy S1 (just like Galaxy Nexus S) with 1200mhz (stable OC without voltage tweak) runs very good anyway on 4.2.2
I also read something about new google 2013 kernel patches for Nexus S.

I won't be surprised, they would have dropped support for the gnex then.
Each nexus is roughly supported for 2 years..

If nexus s isn't supported anymore, how can it be eligible to receive kernel updates/fixes? That's an unfounded rumour.
I only hope Google releases the compatible updated binaries for building, if needed.

"Let's make some **** up to stir the news a bit and call it an article."

The article also uses the rendering of the Nexus 5 by LG. The company has stated that it is not interested in making another Nexus device. That, alone, leads me to believe that 99 percent of the article is pure speculation.

Jelly bean was released about the same time last year. So its not really a rumor. Its common sense. If Google is going to be releasing a big update, it would be a year from their last one. I find it funny people were expecting a big update only months after getting one. 4.3 would have been a nice little treat at I/O though. I'm still hoping we get that soon.

They said they are interested but are not currently making one. You've been reading equally unreliable sites. Rumors are just rumors. The new version of Android will come on the new Nexus regardless of who manufactures it.

It's schedule around the same time ios7 should be rolling. So from that corporate competitive perspective, it seems just about right.

I've seen articles state the new version of Android will allow it to run smooth on older devices since ICS came out. I'm sure they are making the OS run smoother overall, but don't expect better performance on older phones with a new OS.
I do look forward to what Google does to further enhance the Android experience.
