Develop Bugs

Will this phone still be worth getting come November?

I'm due for an upgrade in the near future but unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus has already been around for a while. I don't want to end up with another Dinc situation where I get mine a year late, all the good devs leave and we have little support left.
So do you think (Opinions here people) this phone will still be worth getting when I upgrade or should I go with the next big thing?

A new nexus should be coming out by the end of the year, so my answer would be no.

Depends on the price. This phone is still a nexus and will get the next Android version. The specs for the GN are more than sufficient over the long haul.
Last years nexus has a more up to date version than my current Nexus.

Yeah we will be impatiently awaiting the next nexus. But on the other hand this is a good phone and will serve a lot of people well for a 2 + year life span.

I had my Nexus in hand by November last year so I'd say no do not buy the current one.

The phone is still awesome..... Get it!

If you can afford better then there will be better available by November... in fact there will be better available in a few weeks time when the galaxy s3 comes out.. you won't have to wait until November to find something better than the gnex

Last Nov, the Nexus S was still around $400 on Amazon (still same price even today ). Hardware wise, this GN will be in better shape comes this Nov than the Nexus S was last Nov.
When the new Nexus comes out, it'll be in $650-700 range again (unless Google decides then to also sell the new Nexus at $399), so this current one at $400 is still a great deal.

Come November I would get the new Nexus.

As others have said... we'll see the next Nexus device in November. Galaxy Nexus will be cheap and still good (enough) though.

The phone will be a year old. Wait for a more recent release.

I think Google needs to stick with imagination technologies gpu's. For lots of reasons, including an apple one.

This phone will be fine by November. Plus, if rumors are correct we won't see a Nexus phone this year, but rather the Nexus tablet. Jelly Bean is said to have "game changing tablet optimizations".

I would wait for the next Nexus. The GNexus will still be a good phone but is kind of sad to see your device outdated one month after you bought it.

So? N1 has ICS. Unnoficial, but still. Nexus Prime will most def have future versions of the OS.
You people gotta be rich or something, changing phones like that.

Please don't get it just wait for the next one. I got mine just now cause of sprint just barely got it and is the only android phone that appeals to me right now. But if the next nexus doesn't come out on Verizon then maybe you shouldn't get it but if he does then yes wait for that one

Nexus 4 will potentially be released around Dec./Jan. so Id hold off. By then the GNex will have dwindled down to Tier 2 hardware.

Eta on next Nexus phone?

Anyone have ideas as to when it will cone out? The nexus came out around November and remember that another nexus came out in January. Any thoughts as to when the next nexus should come out? I'm interested in a GSM version. After using nexus I have lost all interest if going to other phones since I want to have the latest OS

What nexus came out in Jan 2012?
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk 2

Nexus One - Jan 2010
Nexus S - December 2010
Galaxy Nexus - November 2011
Based on that logic, (11 months) the next nexus phone should be released in October 2012.

Yep there will be another one in the fall, however as rumors suggest, they may very well release more than one(from different oems and for different price-ranges).
Also with a nexus 7" tablet due this month.
So Google is making moving the nexus brand from being a "made by Google" brand to become kind of a Google certification(these devices run stock android and will receive timely updates)

Sorry to be a big'ol noob here, but what's an ETA. And I've been in this root thing for months now lol.

I never said 2012 I was just throwing out month in non-chronological order.

No ETAs - I just got my Nexus and because of both the official updates and community support I don't really plan on upgrading until the Key Lime Pie Nexus comes out.
No doubt it's gonna have a quad core but what would something that powerful be used for? I was perfectly fine with my Snapdragon CPU until I bricked it. The only use I can think of for four cores is console quality gaming (Nvidia Tegra) and full desktop OS (Ubuntu Mobile).
I've been observing how some upgrade their phones every three months and there are lots of people I know that still have the SGS 4G instead of the SGS2 because it still does what they need. I'm well aware that Samsung is very different from Google but for the CDMA Nexus models it's interesting to see how that compares between the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S.
I guess the main point is it really necessary to upgrade for every new device that comes out? We'd all look like those idiots that camp outside the Apple store for those non innovative phones.

A 100% chance of it being in the future, and a 20% chance of it being on a Tuesday, barring a weekend release.

Super Nexus X Galaxy Drive Speculamaster IV - TBD/TBA
Things to check prior to posting threads like this:
1. History of previously released devices.
2. History of official news releases.
3. Whether there is any current official news. Rumors and speculation don't count, which is all we ever have with phones like this or the iPhone. This kind of nonsense is just that: nonsense, and it does nothing but fill up news feeds (which are mostly just blogs these days) with useless non-information.
4. All the other threads posted just like this.

November 2012.
Expect the rumors to start flying in around August-September.

5 Nexus branded phones?

I wasn't able to watch the Google I/O yesterday so I decided to search the internet but couldn't find my answer.
Will we see 5 Nexus devices announced this October like the rumor suggested or is it unlikely?

What?
You mean like a new nexus phone?

Yes sir.
Rumors running around the internet are that google will release 5 Nexus devices each from different manufacturers.
For example, one from Samsung, another from HTC, etc.
I want to know if google said anything about this during the Google I/O yesterday.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda app-developers app

Not sure if they said something about 5 new phones, but they said, they are trying to fix the android version fragmentation problem.

Nope, wasn't mentioned. We'll most likely hear about it later in the year

Alright, thanks

I was hoping for an announcement too. Also when the price of the Galaxy Nexus was brought down to 350$ I was expecting something.
My old N1 is dying on me! Need a new Nexus phone!

The rumor was up to 5 Nexus "Devices", not necessarily phones.
They already have the Nexus 7 and Nexus Q, and if you include the Galaxy Nexus, that's 3 Nexus "Devices" that they are selling through the Play Store.

Good point! Wait for 2 more devices! Hoping for a phone! or even a Nexus 10!

Personally I hope they stick with the 1/year strategy. Makes them feel more special. Having multiple Nexuses (Nexii?) makes it seem like they're gonna go the Galaxy route and literally slap the Nexus name on anything that connects to facebook

Unlimited nexus
How about nexus certified. You get stock rom alternative for these devices and faster update?

Most probably they'll go the Apple route. A tablet and a phone alternating every 6 months, with one major version upgrade a year.
So we'll probably get a new Nexus phone on 4.2+ Jellybean this late fall/winter and one or two other Nexus devices

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.

I wouldn't hold my breath for 5 nexus devices. That rumor was pretty roughly based and never followed up.

Not really. True that it may be announced, but not released.
Even when the Galaxy Nexus was announced, it wasn't available for some time after.

Yea but at least we will find out what we are really getting and Project Road Runner for 4.2 sounds amazing for battery savings.

At the most they may open up pre-orders that day. But I think it is more likely they will announce a pre-order and release date during the event.

They will be releasing Nexus 4, 5 , 6 so that they don't have to release one for the next 3 years.

Hopefully its to announce an HTC Nexus to go with the LG.

I really hope for a new nexus device at this event but
I feel like there isn't going to be one because
the invitation says "The playground is open"
I think this will most likely be all about update to maybe 4.2 and stuff related to the play store.
More software and little to no hardware.
I know there are lots of leaks of new nexus devices but
this is just my personal opinion.
Anyways, can't wait for this event to happen!

Just announce the already well known Nexus 4 and then a Nexus 5.
and kill off all these rumors already.

They have to announce a new phone by the end of the year and they aren't going to have another event to announce the phone.

I'm so glad all these iPhone threads are over and were only discussing nexus stuff
Anyways I hope all these rumors about the 2GB of RAM are true also 4.2 with new notification toggles and whatever else is a win

That's probably due to Verizon having their hands on the exclusivity. That's what I think. This nexus will hopefully release sooner.

Quad cores don't need any maturing. The s4 pro uses the same CPU cores as the s4 ( dual core). The big improvement is on the GPU side. The pro has a next gen gpu while the regular had a aging GPU because the new one was not ready
People get caught up on the dual vs quad all the time. As well clock speeds. Unless you're comparing chips of the same family they are basically useless

I'd rather have an A15 dualcore instead of an A9 quadcore.

Then you would be waiting until sometime in 2013 unfortunately.

Will Google launch several nexus devices?
