It's been discussed. There's nothing confirmed but a model number "era42" that appeared in T-Mobile U.S.' inventory system with a September release date. One of the rumors is that it'll be a "G" series phone. Those are phones that have their overlays removed so they appear vanilla. It's the same device with the same s/w with the overlay, in this case Sense, hidden. T-Mobile did the same thing with the G2 (Desire Z) and G2X (LG O2X). So it's probably going to be a stock One X without Sense, most likely in a different color.
There's another Teg3 One X that's shown up in benchmarks during its testing. It's an "Evita" phone which means it's XL based. It's got a 1.7GHz Teg3 chip in it and an Icera LTE radio which is also produced by Nvidia. The ROM signature shows it going to AT&T.
Neither phone has passed through the FCC so they aren't around the corner.
It looks great!
nah its not happening, they already pissed off all there customers with a phone that barely works. Imagine now releasing a slightly better one.... it would be HTC suicide.
looks like mine ^^

Really? I CLEARLY remember them doing almost THE EXACT SAME THING with the "Sensation" series.
Throwing bricks since 2008.....and proud of it.
I hope this turns into the g3 I would love a divice like this running jelly bean stock

None of the G devices on T-Mobile have been "stock." They are "stock-like." All the OEM drivers and codecs and other proprietary s/w is still there. It's just the overlays that are removed. In the LG G2X the overlay wasn't even removed, it was just disabled. It took just as long to get updates as it did for any other phone with an overlay. The devs found this out when they were modding the stock ROMs. Only Nexus phones are stock, as in "pure Google."

There's no reason it couldn't be. T-Mobile U.S. runs a HSPA-only network. But since the One S has the same Qualcomm chip as the XL and it's already been modified for T-Mobile's AWS bands you could be right as it would be the easiest approach.
It would be pretty neat if it was Senseless but with the same hardware as the international One X... Like the G2/Desire Z - it would make AOSP much better for us, because they'd presumably bring Imagechip support to the table.

That's one of the reasons why it won't be Sense-less. Sense is much more than just a launcher, so even if it appears to be AOSP phone, it would still be running Sense.

Hi there I have a rogers gs3 and I am thinking of switching to a nexus. I love the gs3 but I also love installing ROMs and unfortunately there are not that many at&t/ rogers ROMs out there. Not even a single miui ROM
I have been reading g up on the specs for both phones and I don't see a big difference in either phones.
What's your take on the phones? Am I making a right choice if I switch phones?
Also what section of the forums would I be looking in for ROMs for the rogers nexus?
I would say it depends on what is important to you. if flashing ROMs(customizing) is what you prefer then go for the nexus.
and yes your are correct ..there is not a big difference or gap on hardware between the two.

I think that was only an issue on the VZW version no?
If you love your ROMs then this is the phone for you. I love my GNex!
Definitely better if you really wan't the customizations, the newest android first and stable clean android.
However the hw on the nexus does lack behind the gs3 hw quite a bit.
Thanks for all your responses. I really like different ROMs so I am going to get the nexus tomorrow
GS3 is superior to GNexus (powerful cpu, better camera, and so on).. And if you can wait other GS3 roms will be developed in the next future..
If you really want to customize a lot your device I'd wait to the NEXT nexus phone
Cyanogenmod 10 is already really stable.. have you tried it? I'm using it very happily on my gs3 right now.
And hardware differences between the phones is significant.

I went from the htc one x which is as good as the s3 and came to my senses and went to a nexus just because I realized that software is so much more important than the hardware and now that I watch phone comparisons I see that the nexys is still competing against all these top tier phones also in a few months the one x and s3 will be beaten by another phone but people will still compare the nexus to the upcoming super phones

I'd pass up slightly better hardware specs for an unlocked bootloader and the latest version of Android any day. The only major drawback for me by going to the GNex from the GSIII is losing LTE.

Just wondering everything we know seems to suggest a "nexus" phone really, even if it won't be branded as such. I did not care for the LG version, so I skipped it but I am seriously thinking of upgrading to the Moto X unless the information posted so far turns out to be wrong.
Not on Verizon lol
Edit: for me, I like specs. This phone will not keep my interest with mid range specs. Maybe if I see the software on this phone with the Google optimizations, I might consider. For now, eyes are on a potential Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 smartphone.

Just being curious, why are you interested in the Moto X and not the Nexus 4, when both devices look really similar in terms of specs (the Nexus 4 looks even slightly better) ?
I'm thinking about the just announced Droid Maxx to replace my GNex. I'm waiting until I can hold it and people start getting them. Spec sheets are overrated.

I think my power button is going out so I'm sort of in the market for a new phone(thank god for volume wake/navbar screen off). As long as the price below $250, gets better battery life than our GN, I'm in. But I'm also curious if this IS the new nexus or if they'll be releasing another $350 Nexus with better specs later this year.

dancingtortoise, it's not a new Nexus phone: the Nexus 4 will still be in available for sale. We can probably expect a new Nexus phone for Oct-Nov 2013.
Yeah, I like the customization options for it, only thing holding me back (and only by a small bit) is the last year specs. That said, if the price is right then I'll pick it over the Nexus 4 and finally drop Sprint to switch to TMobile. Regardless, the Moto X price I think will be the deciding factor, if it's $200-ish then alot of people will probably get it just based on the hype alone. If it's $300-ish or more then I imagine it will fall more into a niche market.
I started with the original moto droid but I swore off Motorola after I got the droid 3. I was very disappointed. I used a fascinate in between selling the d3 and getting the gnex. I was running hellybean 4.2.2 and loving it, on a single core! The new moto phones look nice, but I will wait until the next Google nexus comes out, no matter who makes it. I just hope the phone comes out for Verizon too this time!

The Nexus 4 was too flimsy, heard waaaaay too many horror stories about build quality, easy breaking and lock ups. And anyway the hardware improvements were not a big enough upgrade to me, and I already had the software on my GNex. The hardware upgrades here seem more of an actual upgrade(i like the alleged 32gb option). Even though as before I will have to wait and see, and I will already have the new software upgrades since I am assuming this thing runs 4.3

From everything I have heard, and certainly this has not been confirmed, there will never be another nexus phone on Verizon. Ever. Google was pissed the way Verizon dealt with them on the GNex and supposedly has unofficially said they will never do that again. So at the very least you may want to think of a plan B

And what device on Verizon DOESN'T have a locked bootloader (GNex doesn't count)? The One when/if it hits? Well, if you like the One, go for it. Based on what was released earlier today, the Moto X/Droid line is far from "mid range specs". Hogwash, pure hogwash. The mid range spec thing was a rumor based on rumor. Motorola didn't say that and neither has any carrier. It was assumed because the processor was listed as "dual core" on FCC filings. Further, we haven't really seen the device in action yet. So far it looks like stock Android with a couple of Motorola widgets and some custom icons tossed in here and there along the OS. Looking at Motorola's X8 processor, it seems far from "old". Just because you read "Dual Core" online, it doesn't really mean a whole lot in this case. Is it going to be developer friendly? Probably not. But it depends on what you want. If you want to spend the life of your device flashing buggy roms and waiting for CM XX.XX to finally finish right as the next version of Android comes out so you do it all over again, well, then it's probably not for you. I think the X8 looks very intriguing.
For me, if it runs smooth, fast and lasts as long as my GNex does with my Hyperion then frankly it's a home run. I've always looked to Nexus devices to get the latest updates. Now, with Google's new APK's, that's less of an issue to me. Further, with Motorola having exclusive right's to develop the "Droid" line for Verizon and talks of them slowing down device roll outs, I'm thinking that this might provide opportunities for more updates (Especially with Google having a hand in Motorola now).
Don't like it, don't buy it. Personally, I moved to Verizon for the GNex knowing full well that it might be the only thing remotely close to "Nexus" that the carrier ever got. If it runs smooth with zero lag then that puts it up there with the One, and both will stand above the S4. Looking at a Spec Sheet is right up there with a redneck showing off their belt buckle size. People are duped into buying laggy crappy phones with awesome spec sheets every quarter.
Chase those quad cores that don't even have software and apps optimized to use them.
Do you optimize, bros!?

Not sure but even if so, you could always buy a verizon phone, root it and toss pure Android on it You'd have to pay full price for that HTC one. Honestly paying full price for a subsidized verizon contract AND paying full price for a phone would just be silly.

Yeah, just not the moto phones with locked boot loaders That's what made me get rid of my d3. Well I'm happy with my gnex for now, we'll just have to wait and see.

From what I've read around the web.. Nothing official, of course.... The Moto X looks to be similar in specs as the Droid Ultra.
I don't know if Verizon cares or not, but there are a lot of g'nex users keeping their phones due to lack of a satisfactory replacement. Maybe that will put a little pressure on big V to have 1 nexus phone on their service.
Just dreaming....

Do you guys think that a port of the nexus 5's dev preview will be feasible or even possible?
Ah yes, I too would like to know how likely it is, since at the moment the GPE M8 is all I have for development purposes. I am probably going to today to get a Nexus 5 unless its going to be possible. I want to make sure all my apps are going to be ready
i doubt it will be possible
If it's in AOSP then why wouldn't it be possible?
Even if it's not the preview could possibly be ported to our devices

That's what I'm wondering. Is the code going to be available tomorrow? If so I have no doubt we will see roms pop up. If not I guess it will depend on if our 4.4.3 based binaries can be used on Android L. Really hope so... I'm tempted to re-buy a nexus 5.
Pretty sure someone will manage it!
They are not releasing code. Just preview images for the nexus 5 & 7. I'm not sure if a port is possible, but who knows.

I have to say I'm pretty disappointed, I expected a factory image for a flagship phone from less than just 2 years ago would be something Google could easily provide, specially considering Nexus 4 still has the most standard phone screen size (4.7") and similar specs as Nexus 5 (except for resolution, CPU speed and LTE), which exactly is why a Nexus 4 is my primary testing phone. Bummer.
By October nexus 4 will be 2yrs old and past it's support cycle. Just how it be. Maybe they will surprise us

"its pretty much the same except for the 3 things that ROMS tend to be picky about...."
Android L Port for a Consumer
I'm a complete noob when it comes to developing, but I hope that a port is possible and isn't too far away, I honestly just want to try it as a consumer. Whoever can make a port of the developer preview is awesome.
I suspect that it will be possible. But I doubt it will be fully functional. But it would still be fun just to play around with it.

It may be possible when mixing GPE and Factory Image of Nexus 5. They share the same Chipset (800 and 801 are almost identical), One M8 has no special Hardware except the Dual-Cam which is not relevant for testing the System!
It is possible, we ported over Android 4.1 from Emulator to HTC HD2 back in the days!

Was wondering the same thing.
What about official One M8 GPE owners here, shouldn't that phone get priority over the Nexus 5, or at the very least, get the exact same support and releases.
The One M8 GPE is kind of like the future Silver, it's the current highest end smartphone, with official stock vanilla Android direct from Google.

They did say at Google I/O that it will be released for Nexus Devices as well as GPE devices - when the full release comes.
This is just a developer preview, hence why it is only out for the N5 & N7.
Any update on if Google will send the ' L ' developer preview to GPE devices soon ?

Is he selling it with the box? The box is the main difference, and the logo of some sense-related features are not available on the google play edition box.
Aside from that, I believe the google play edition is only in Silver color with 32GB of storage (I could be wrong). If he has done a full-conversion, the bootloader and software should be identical, so I doubt if you can tell the difference.
That's all I know. Hopefully someone else can point out some other differences. -)
Unfortunately no box. It is silver and have 32gb of storage. Does it only come in 32gb of storage in GPE?
