Photoshop magic brings a clearer picture of the Samsung Nexus Prime

Exactly, this looks like a piece of art. This is a true mixture of art meets technology. It's a very sexy looking device. Samsung is on fire & is taking the mobile design to another level. Samsung makes great components, but are implementing those components it in avant-garde ways! Thus the Google Nexus Prime!

Now if Samsung used less plastic

I hear this Google Nexus Prime will have some metal. Again I could be wrong but that is what "they" are saying!

I suspect that the upcoming D-C 1.5GHzs are going to destroy the iPhone 5.

I'm still getting used to phones bigger than one decicubit.

i agree.. i find 4' screen size to be apt. it fits comfortably in hand and is big enough. though SE arc and htc sensation has worked hard to increase the size of screen to 4.2' and yet keep the same size of 4' phone..sammy has kept increasing the vertical growth of phone.
but that again is a personal taste.

54. roldefol posted on 06 Oct 2011, 10:57 0 0

Agreed. I think newer HTC devices like the Sensation, EVO 3D and Vigor are the perfect size - they kept the width of a 4" screen but stretched it to full 16:9. Others prefer fatter phones like the EVO and Thunderbolt. Another matter of taste. At least we have options!

Yes, because of the banana shape.

Really? Awesome. I don't know why I thought it would be overseas first. Hope it comes to AT&T soon!!!!!

38. remixfa posted on 06 Oct 2011, 09:05 0 0

rumor is VZW is getting some kind of exclusivity.. which at this point i doubt.. or at least hope not. Tmo has launched every nexus thus far so i doubt they will be left out in the cold for launch. Sprint will want it asap.. hopefully ATT has learned their lessons and sells it right away too instead of waiting till its nearly irrelevant like last time.

Even if it's only 3 months exclusivity, that gets them through the holiday sea$on.

you don't need to wish/hope... If the rumors hold true (which they are looking quite so), it will be exclusive to verizon as the droid prime.

concidering how many iphone rumors proved to be crap, i wouldnt put too much stock in nexus rumors just to keep from getting your hopes too high, lest we end up with our own "Iphone4S" drama

19. remixfa posted on 06 Oct 2011, 07:59 4 2

no, then it wouldnt have access to exynos 2nd gen chips nor super amoled HD, which are the 2 stand out features of this phone other than ICS. Noone comes close to samsung when it comes to tech advancements.

24. dacastrator posted on 06 Oct 2011, 08:19 1 2

yea you're right, i just based my thoughts on the nexus one and nexus s.. never heard any major issues with the nexus one and nexus s is a dissapointment..

30. remixfa posted on 06 Oct 2011, 08:47 1 1

lol, no phone is perfect, not a nexus, not an iphone. its all luck of the draw from when it rolls off the factory floor if yours is gonna have issues or not.. lol sad but true.

i got your point. i work for sprint. samsung epic 4g, and nexus s has a lot of problems in both software and cellular.. and it even looks like the galaxyS2 epic touch 4g are having issues too.. im talking about signal receptions.. a lot of customers are complaining. and this is the reason why im not buying any samsung products.

Same here. I work at Sprint and have had lots of complaints about the SGSII has lots of reception issues. And data speeds are super slow compared to phones like the 3d or the photon.

2.0 Droid by Motorola
2.1 Nexus One by HTC
3.0 Xoom by Motorola
2.3 Nexus S by Samsung
4.0 Nexus Prime by Samsung
...probably the next one will be back to Motorola

Just depends on who takes the contract and who has the right hardware.

I don't think it's for docking...not enough pins. Possibly charging, but then it has one too many pins. My first thought when I saw it was maybe a button-less volume adjustment. Imagine you just drag your finger along them (kind of like a wheel, but no moving parts). That's probably not the case, but just a thought.

20. remixfa posted on 06 Oct 2011, 07:59 0 0

that would be very neat dark, but im pretty sure its just a chargin/syncing doc of some sort.

47. Murfpass posted on 06 Oct 2011, 09:42 0 0

When I first saw it, I thought it might be something like a buttonless camera button where you can slide your finger left and right to zoom in and out

That hump appears on most Samsung smartphones (and Nexus S for that matter) which have plastic body because its main purpose is to reduce the surface of the phone that touches the surface of table or whatever it is on which the phone is placed. Every "bumb" has very slim line as "peak" of surface, so it doesn't get scratched over time. Metal-bodied phones don't need this, and of course every phone that has some kind of scratch-resistant coating and surface (like iPhone 4).

However, Nexus Prime will, as far as rumors are concerned, be with metal back, so the only purpose the hump has is to level it with the surface it stands on, to prevent swinging due to curved line of the phone.

or to house important things like the antenna and speakers since being so thin doesnt leave you much room for that in other places, unless you wanna be like the iphone and have it loop around the outside and have singal interference all the time from your hand.

Almost. PenTile brings the (sub)pixel density down a bit. Will look like somewhere between 250-300 ppi.

I think you can google some more on Camera..... how it is work and what make a good camera..... it's not just about MP but how well the camera take picture. And I hope Prime not fail me with the 5MP.

61. gallitoking posted on 06 Oct 2011, 13:59 0 0

then why most people were expecting a 12 mp camera... but ok... cant believed you guys are drooling over the side onf a phone.. at least be reasonable and look at a complete picture.,... is Samsung.. is full of plastic...
