instead of the new nexus , i think this phone is the rumoured galaxy s2+

The inclusion of an SD card slot does seem to support that hypothesis.

Affordable does not mean low specs. Google should continue with Nexus 7 strategy.

the $200 phone UNLOCKED! yeah yeah yeah.

16. kweldude101 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 08:17 0

maybe not that low but at least under $400 unlocked would be nice

I agree. Their next phone needs to be at least a quad-core if it's going to be an ARM A9. If it stays dual-core then they really need to have an ARM A15. Anything else would be a BIG disappointment.

I like the screen size but bigger would be a plus. 4.8 inch would be nice. Also 2GB of RAM should be standard among top tier phones. 8MP is fine with the right lens & all the other Google goodies that come with a Nexus is standard as always.

Every Nexus has been a big leap features wise & I don't see the next Nexus deviating from that mold.

This is just RUMOR. Google wouldn't do this especially after all the great features & specs the Nexus 7 has. Why can't they do the same with the next Nexus?

+1

Make it the mpq8064 Quad-core, at 2.0Ghz, 3000Mah, then root it, overclock it to 2.5. With 3Gb Ram.

Rumor? -_-

17. kweldude101 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 08:19 1

it could be quad core but if they make it quad core the price will go way up and the Gnex has proven that with jelly bean, u dont need a quad core processor to be smooth

38. Aeires (unregistered) posted on 21 Aug 2012, 15:57 0

Agreed, with JB consistently pushing 60 fps, even on an older Ti-OMAP processor it's super smooth. Unless there's a significant battery life improvement or seriously need it for future proofing your phone against unknown advances Google is getting ready for, some of the dual cores are enough at this point in time.

26. thelegend6657 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 08:47 1

me too , i dont think samsung will get the next nexus anyway and i dont think Google will pack such terrible specs into the next nexus , it will at least comes with a tegra 3 . So i am 100% confirm this is fake

Well you better slap your face and try to believe this, the more who believes makes the wishes come true :}

18. kweldude101 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 08:20 0

i hope samsung will so that they can use the oled display

22. kweldude101 posted on 21 Aug 2012, 08:34 0

thank you! Jelly Bean has proven to run on the Gnex just as fast as the S3 runs touchwiz. id rather google keep the price lower and increase battery life than adding an unnecessary quad core processor. 2gb ram, that 8 mega pix camera, and an sd card all combined and at the most, maybe $400 unlocked. now that would be perfect!

43. Berzerk000 posted on 22 Aug 2012, 06:31 0

That surely is possible, but this is most likely not the successor to the Galaxy Nexus... I'm pretty sure this is just a Touchwiz device, inspired by Nexus hardware with a slight spec bump. If you really want that great of a camera, you should look at the Sony Xperia GX (I think) that is coming out soon, with that 13 MP stacked camera lens, should be REALLY nice; or just get the Sony Nexus (if it's true). But anyways; yes, what you are asking for surely is possible, and probably will be in one of the next Nexus. The Sony Nexus should have the best camera out of the reported 4 of them. Should also be equipped with either a quad-core processor, or a dual-core A-15 processor like the S4 Pro or OMAP5; along with 1.5-2 GB RAM.

45. The_Innovation posted on 22 Aug 2012, 09:55 0

Yea I actually heard Sony is great with their cameras. Well I certainly won't be expecting any of this from Apple lol.

Sony Nexus sounds really nice. That Xperia GX is really nice, but the only thing that sucks is the battery. I forgot to mention that, I'm also waiting for the battery standard to become at least 3000+ mAh like the RAZR MAXX. I think that's number 1 on my want list. Don't even care about all the cores as much as that.

46. Berzerk000 posted on 22 Aug 2012, 14:09 0

Well, actually Apple's cameras they use in the iPhone and iPad are made by Sony I believe.

With the S4 Pro (that's probably what Sony will use for their Nexus) it has about a 20-30% increase in battery life over the OMAP 4460 in the Galaxy Nexus, and will probably have a bigger battery as well (>1900), so that's about... a combined 50-60% increase in battery life over the Galaxy Nexus if my math is correct. So, imagine when your Nexus has about 10% battery life left... At that time, the Sony Nexus should have near 60%. I know it's not nearly as good as the Razr MAXX, but that should be enough to get through the average day with relative ease.

The reason I keep using the Sony Nexus instead of the Xperia GX as a reference is that I know you have a Galaxy Nexus, so you are probably used to stock Android and almost immediate updates (unless you're on Verizon or Sprint in the US), and as you said all you really wish for improvement is the camera and battery. Along with some spec improvements to make it future proof of course. So the Xperia Nexus would be your best bet.

If you REALLY want the battery though, Moto Nexus would be the best option probably. Though, Moto isn't exactly known for their cameras. So it's a bit of a trade off. On the plus side, you get a great antennae. Don't worry much about the spec differences, they will all have practically equal performance.

That's some great analysis and advice there. Thanks.

Now that I think about it, I also recall reading that Sony makes the iPhone cameras. Yea I am used to the stock Android actually. I love receiving the latest software immediately. Xperia Nexus it is. Can't go wrong.

You're welcome, always glad to help.

I wouldn't make a definite decision right now though, that was just based on rumors. Always do a comparison when all of the Nexus actually release before purchasing. Though, it is pretty solid that if there are multiple Nexus, and Sony makes one, it will have the best camera.

I'm personally waiting on an HTC or Moto Nexus. Camera doesn't mean that much to me, and I haven't had a problem with battery life really. One thing that is botherome though is that I have relatively low signal strength whenever I walk indoors, and Moto's renowned antennae should fix that. Though that might not be enough to pull me away from HTC's beautiful designs. We'll all just have to wait and see around October

Yea I'm one of those capture the moment at any random moment type of people. Photographer by heart, that's why I care a great deal about the camera. Sounds like it's going to be a real clash with all these phones coming around the same time.

The Exynos 5 is only supposed to be in tablets, or that's what Samsung's plans are for now. Exynos 5 powered phones won't come out until early-mid 2013, if at all.
