Whether it will be vers. 4.3 or 5.0, do you think GSM galaxy nexus will get it?
Personally I think it will. Simply becaus even if Google decides to release the new version of android in combination with a new device, it won't be a new phone. ( Maybe a new nexus 7, but not a new flagship phone )
Nexus S didn't receive android 4.2 not because it's CPU couldn't handle it, but because Google wanted customers to focus on the nexus 4.
I think we will be good for the next 100 years

1) The nexus s didn't receive the update due to storage issues in the sector partitioned for OS. There is workarounds to this but it requires wiping devices and Google just can't do that to the mass public.
2) The galaxy nexus is only 12 months old, Google promises support for 18 months and likely even longer.
3) The galaxy nexus has a faster CPU then the nexus s and a similar GPU but the galaxy nexus has 1gb of space partitioned for OS.
4) Based on the above facts I can say with great certainty that we Galaxy Nexus owners will be receiving the next OS update.

How much space is partitioned for the OS on the galaxy nexus? And on a 8gb nexus 4?
As from what I read on the galaxy nexus it has 1gb for the OS. Nexus 4, I personally don't care about since I won't be getting one and therefore have no clue.

Why?? 4.2 is just 4.1 but with more stuff added.. Any bugs that 4.2.1 has, will be solved with 4.2.2
If you are experiencing lags and slow system, maybe its time for a healthy factory reset

umm dude ? i guess ur not a power user ! cus u can instantly know when ur using the gallery browsing through ur pics ! try to scroll fast as possible when a pic is opened ( even after they;re cached ) the 4.2+ gallery just isnt fast enough and shows u a black pic and takes bout a second to load up ! while the 4.1.2 was flawless ! go as fast as u like it loads up instantly ! this is just one aspect ! there are many more problems faced by others ! specially SOD's,I personally never had them. but others have ! .. oh well m on xylon 15 stable release with purity ak kernel 007 and it makes my device a bit more faster than the stock 4.2.1 but not as how 4.1.2 was ! plus i miss those crazyass realtime video cam face effects !
Nexus S recieved 3 updates. After 1.5 year stopped supporting it. Gnex has received 3 major updates. Its 1 year old and 3 months...
So i believe it is time to say goodbye to Google pure AOSP support and based on developers for the new updates
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I'am confident that google would release the next version for GneX, there's non reason to leave it back, while for the NexS was explained why the official development was stopped! I only hope they put more attention in the development stage because 4.2 has a lot of silly bug that a good JUnit coverage could have found before the release (aka december bug, but why not mentioning the camera).
I am sure, we will definitely get the update! GNexus has a good hardware!
hopefully next 3 months, a major revamped ver, instead of something like buggy Android 4.2
Yes I think we will definitely get at least 1 more major release.

As far as I know, the gnex has only received 2 major updates: 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 to 4.2. I think that most people would agree that the 4.0.2 - 4.0.4 were minor updates, as were the 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 and the 4.2 to 4.2.1 updates.
As others have said, if be very surprised if the gnex doesn't get at least one more major update.

A new nexus is always released with a new system version if history is to repeat itself.
Nexus One - Eclair/Froyo
Nexus S - Gingerbread

Assuming history is followed we should be able to expect a new version with the next nexus. But we must keep in mind googles plan for 1 major update/year and with that in mind it could be June when we get our next major release.

Don't think so, maybe the updates will stop next year, around November
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Nexus S got updated until Nexus 4 came, so Galaxy Nexus will probably be updated until the next-gen Nexus arrives.
We pretty much all knew that support from Google ends after 2 years.
Well if you consider that the Nexus S saw Gingerbread, ICS and JB (up to 4.1.2), for a single core, 512MB RAM device, that's pretty impressive. I am expecting the Galaxy Nexus to be supported until it's hardware is outdated. That may or may not be next year, but as long as it can, it will be running the latest version of Android.
I thought it was 18 months of support, anyway I will get a new Nexus by that time or there will be custom roms for it.

This is my understanding as well..
We all know that Google went the extra mile to have ICS and JB running as best as possible in Nexus S, same for Nexus One (there were several internal builds of ICS for Nexus One until they saw they could not properly update it to ICS in the way they meant ICS to run). Since storage and partitions are not an issue, neither a Dual Core Cortex A9, my belief is that as long as 1GB of RAM is enough to have a good Android experience, they will keep Galaxy Nexus up to date.
It all depends on the hardware. It always has. If Google can no longer smoothly manage to run a build they will update it. It does not matter if it's 2yrs or 18 months
But with the speed in which technology in mobile world is evolving I expect to see the next major update I.e. the 'k' update as our nexus started out with ice cream sandwich.
Dual core is becoming old soon. All major flagship phones are quad core now
But we at xda have managed jb on phones with ram as low as 256 mb so I think we will see a cm 12 and 13 on my phone as well

Not that it matters but the Droid Razr HD was running on a Dual Core chip, and it was a flagship phone. Just saying.
Based on what Google has been doing with the Nexus line, we'll still updates until the next Nexus (N5) comes out. The N1 got updates until 4.0 and the GNex (N3) came out. The Nexus S (N2) got updates until 4.2 and the N4 came out.
Even if official support goes away for the GNex, devs will still be porting the newest android versions to it. Hell, there's an HD2 running jellybean somewhere out there

I used to believe that as well, but now that they killed off the Nexus S I start to disagree. I find it hard to believe that Android 4.2 requires much more processing power or RAM than 4.1. Judging from my experience on my Galaxy Nexus, both 4.1 and 4.2 are just refined versions of 4.0. Any device that runs 4.0 should run 4.2 as well.
I think that they don't have the manpower to optimize and test multiple Nexus phones and tablets for each version and are going to kill off devices after 2 years to focus on the newer ones.
Ive read reports of guys who updated their gnex to 4.2 and where left with 2hundred something of free ram
So it could be that it uses too much ram(considering it came with a 2gbRam phone) for the nexus S to handle
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I was thinking about the 4.2 update, and it runs slower than 4.1, you can totally see it.
In 4.2 update there is no big improvement compared to 4.1 (maybe only lockscreen widgets may add some weight), so what do you think, is it just bad coding or marketing?
4.2 has been amazing since I started using it today on my galaxy nexus. Battery life improved by at least 4 hours no doubt. I haven't noticed the speed difference on this ROM seems the same... As for the marketing of course they use it as a marketing tool, same as the iPhone . software is key in selling devices , no one wants the same thing
with new hardware..
I honestly believe Google has done this on purpose, feed us little bits here and there.. Preparing us for probably the greatest update to come in 5.0!!!

4.2 is as same fast as 4.1, I didn't get any lags or "sags" in it (Using it since yakju OTA)
I have noticed that any ROM starts to lag with new CWM recovery backup (I think it's those "Blobs" fault" with 99999999 files)

Any thoughts? Google might unveil 4.3 on the I/O this May instead of KLP 5.0. I could be wrong though. Honestly I could care less if it's KLP or 4.3 I'm just hoping that Google fixes what they broke on 4.2.
Anyone's guess here. Maybe a quick update to 4.3 for minor issues, and jump to 5.0 later in the summer. I've seen reports of server logs with Android 5.0.1 on a Google X device, and now this report of 4.3. I think JBQ and his team aren't sleeping much these days.

I'm guessing 4.3 this coming May and later this year it will be the next Nexus + KLP. Anyhow in less than 30 days we'll know
I hope 4.3 will be just an update. An update like bug fixing shouldn't need a special event. Then a Motorola Google phone or Nexus (or maybe it's same) for a Google I/O. KLP should also be there with the new devices.

...Not as minor as 4.2 -> 4.3. UI drastically changed (not just the launcher) and they decided to make a universally available Launcher called Google Experience, so you see Google is determined to make KitKat a large step forward.
But yeah, based on this point (universal, unified experience) and Google's saying of "making the best experience for everyone", I can say that we're going to get KitKat in one way or another (I don't personally care if Google decides no official release, AOSP is always there). Plus, who said we need 3.4 or even 3.8 kernels to run it (any RELIABLE sources)? Many older devices run JB 4.1 and even 4.2 nicely with 2.6.xx kernels. Many 3.4, 3.8 and even 3.1x features are being backported too.

Look i don't know about Linux Kernel, etc..
But i just saw that the 3.8 is officially discontinued.
3.4 is continued until October 2014.
So i think the next Kernel version for Android will be the 3.10 (long term: until September 2015) not 3.8.
By the way....a Nexus 5 with 3.10 kernel would be pretty nice. But it seem it will be 3.4.

I remember when 3.0 was released (after the 2.6.39), Linus Torvalds said exactly this:
"So what are the big changes? NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver
changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is
*just* about renumbering, we are very much *not* doing a KDE-4 or a
Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at
all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years
now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the
renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ("20 years")
instead."
I post that, only to say that sometimes numbers mean nothing..3.4 is a stable kernel, there isn't a big difference that you can see in the daily use with 3.10..really
Lets pray, for kitkat on our phone..!!!

I thought the new nexus an kitkat would have been launched by now, everything has gone quiet now an the hype has gone, iOS7 is keeping me amused for now, the kitkat screenshots look like google got a lot of their inspiration from apple an iOS7, just hope the nexus 5 is as good if not better than iPhone 5s.
They may not have FCC approval since government is shut down

They said that 4.4 will work on devices with 512mb of ram. And they said it will be available for older devices.
I think we'll get the update, even though it will be the last one...
