Google updates Verizon Nexus page, 32 GB internal storage is back
Share:
Much panic ensued on enthusiast sites – many consumers feel that the lack of removable storage isn’t a big deal as long as a generous amount of internal storage is provided. After all, iPhone owners have been making this tradeoff for years. But the specter of only having 16 GB of internal storage had many people questioning whether this would be enough.
Worry no more, as Google has once again updated their product pages. Not only has the 32 GB model returned, but there’s no mention of a 16 GB version. Combined with the fact that Verizon field-test units are reported to have 32 GB of internal storage, it looks like a good bet that this will be one of the differentiating features of the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
Google’s product page also confirms the larger battery size that had been rumored – the LTE-enabled Verizon model will have an 1850mAH battery instead of the 1750mAH version in the GSM model.
There may be one more differentiator for the Verizon model: the name. As reported earlier, both Amazon and Best Buy have now been caught referring to the Verizon model as the Nexus Prime. Nothing is official until we hear an announcement, but the Nexus Prime name was quite popular so it's not unthinkable that Verizon would want to use it.
What are you most excited about, the extra storage, the bigger battery, or the possible return of the Nexus Prime name? Let us know in the comments below!

Gimme gimme gimme!
Although I will probably just pick up the 16gb anyways depending on the price difference... I don't really see a need for that much internal storage if I can just use Google Music.
$50 price difference, maybe... but if it's $100 I will be rockin 16gb!

So far no. But if you like to hack your phone im happy to say you can plug USB drives to it for extra storage

Hey earlier you said that they have figured out how to increase the screen resolution of samsung galaxy s2 to match the screen of the nexus is this true?

Doubt it. Screen resolution is not something you can control since it's hardware. Not software

So how future-proof have we determined the Galaxy Nexus to be? It seems silly to pay 300 more than the other phones to get a phone that will only be on the top for a few months... but if it dominates for a year as some people predict, then it should be quite worth it.
Remixfa?

this Nexus is by all means future proof. you get a pure Google experience running on one of the most powerful processors in the game right now, it has 4G LTE and it has an HDSA display.

It's as future proof as you're going to get. To be honest, "future proof" can really only be whether or not it is 4g LTE capable or not. It is impossible for it to be the "top" phone for an entire year. New devices with better specs come out once a month it seems like. For example, the Razr was the "top" phone for a week before the Rezound came out with better specs, and when the Nexus comes out, it will have the best specs. In a few months the quad core phones will start coming out. By the end of next year we will have quad core phones with 15mp cams, and maybe even 1080p resolution displays (this one may take a little longer than a year). Your lucky if you have the "top" phone for 3-4 months. If only upgrades were every year instead of every 2. What they should do is offer phones at the "discount" rate regardless of how far into your contract you are, just as long as from that point you re-up for another 2 years, because its rare you are going to find a phone that will be relevant for 2 years. Hell, I'm still using the TP2, which was "top of the line" 2 YEARS AGO, and completely irrelevant by todays standards.

the Rezound doesn't have better specs than the Razr. they're DIFFERENT specs but not necessarily better. xD

The only thing that the Rezound has better of is screen resolution than the Droid RAZR and that is hardly noticable. Besides I\'ll take the SUPER AMOLED over Super LCD any day.
Not to mention I doubt the Rezound will get ICS anytime soon while the RAZR is already made for it. Same processor as the Galaxy Nexus and Motorola obviously is BFF\'s with Google now. Besides the RAZR has way better build quality than the Rozound and I doubt it has GGlass so it won\'t be able to take a hit.
Both devices are good but you will get overall better performance with the RAZR and overall usage. IMO the RAZR is the best android phone to date and once it gets ICS it will be better than the Galaxy Nexus.

I ordered mine for one freaking penny on amazon wireless. I can't wait to get the RAZR. Original RAZR was my first phone I owned. Droid was my first android phone I owned. Epic combo at a great deal
