LG Nexus compared to iPhone 5

LOL, this is beautiful. Hopefully the specs will be top notch.

30. Berzerk000 posted on 11 Oct 2012, 06:45 21 3

Quad core S4 Pro, 2 GB RAM, and a 4.7" HD LCD IPS display (most likely). Seems top notch to me (:

We know that GNex screen was very poor despite being HD, so we have to wait and see.

Gnex screen was samsung's first experience with 720P.

also, LG is a very good LCD manufacturer

What the hell? No it wasn't, reviewers by and large seemed to like that screen when it was new. I'm sure it gets slapped around by SLCD2 panels and newer HDAMOLED screens, but that's just what happens given enough time.
Can we stop flip flopping on screens for just a while?

That surely is, if only they had equipped the MPQ8064 or with the plus version, this would've been a big plus.

You don't need an S4 Prime, Troll. I went over this with you already! The S4 Pro quad is plenty of power for 2 years at LEAST. And even if it wasn't enough (but it is), we all know you would just OC it to 1.8-2 GHz anyways.

The S4 quad will be stronger than everything but true A15 chips. Its a pretty hefty little chip thanks to the Adreno 320 GPU upgrade. Nothing to complain about.. even from me.

Yeah, honestly the Exynos quad is all we need in terms of processing power for a good while, this S4 quad is a bit un-needed. Everyone needs to focus on cameras and battery capacity now. Not to say they should stop working on chips, but they should just have the next generation of chips ready for when mobile OS's get a bit too much to handle for the current chips.

The new chips coming out lately are just power-houses and don't need upgrading as often as previous ones did. When the A15's do eventually come to market next year, what will we do with them? They don't really offer any immediate benefits over current quad cores, except for maybe battery life. All they really do is guarantee support for longer.

But, by the time current devices with quad cores start being dropped on support, you would have probably had your eyes set on a new device anyways. Or you could just adopt towards rooting and get the latest version of Android any time you want.

The back pattern looks gr8!

67. ayephoner posted on 11 Oct 2012, 08:26 2 0

I really like the minimalistic design. It does look much like the gnex, but without the unneeded curve design and hideous camera bulge. I really like that its completely flat from head to toe. The back pattern is nice, but I think I'd prefer piano black. It seems like they are just using that to make it identifiable, which I understand, but I'm sure not thrilled about.

I totaly want this LG Nexus... *_*

this isnt an officially announced device and specs yet. The likiness of it dropping official with 8gig internal and no SD card slot is pretty minimal. It will be 16/32.

Whenever I see an iDevice next to pretty much anything else, I'm consistently reminded of just how toy-like it actually looks.

It's a great device EXCEPT for the camera, which has not turned out good quality pics, thus far.

31. doejon posted on 11 Oct 2012, 06:46 1 2

im pretty shure that the galaxy nexus 2 will be better

What about the one from Hawei? Don't know if I'm spelling that right, but after Cook said that, there were 2 phones found to be thinner than the I5. Not a furious comment, just a fact.

Won't let me edit my above post. I found the article, it mentions phones from Huawei, Pantech, Fujitsu, & even 3 Droid Razr models being thinner than the I5. So it the thinnest iphone, not smartphone.

thats Huawei Ascend P1, thats 7.7 mm thick, iphone 5 is 7.6 mm thick. difference is almost unnoticeable. But still iPhone gets the medal.

The Ascend P1 isn't thinner (It actually was rumored to be 6.7, but it shipped at 7.7), nor are the RAZRs. The Oppo Finder, however, is thinner (6.65mm), but you can't buy it anywhere but China.

No, it isn't. It might be the thinnest phone (for total thickness, I believe there are a few that have thinner tapers or are thicker due to their camera modules) for sale through a major nationwide carrier in the US, but it sure isn't the thinnest in the world.

the phones all you mentioned have a 1.1 cm bulge in their camera lens area... anyone can make such devices by making the device slimmer and letting the camera lens parts protruding outside abnormally. The real crux is making a device which is slim thoroughly without any "bulges". Thats what Tim Cook was talking about i surmise.

well, thanks for adding proof to my point... in the picture, unlike other phones, If you see the camera lens in the Oppo, it is poking out of the back cover, and if you go to engadget there you would find that the bump is thicker than 7.6 mm... ; )

no one said that there wasnt going to be a samsung nexus. rumor still pegs it at 4 nexus devices. if you want to count the N7, that makes 3 phones.. if they announce the N10, that makes 2 phones at least.

Samsung is much more secretive. LG needs and wants to make noise to drum up excitement. Samsung doesnt need to do that anymore.
