Samsung Nexus Prime specifications leak out
The Samsung Nexus Prime is probably the most anticipated device after the iPhone, and now that the 4S has been unveiled, the hype about the Prime reaches its peak. 

BGR now claims to know pretty much everything about the Nexus Prime as a “trusted source” has spilled the specifications. Most of them confirm previous rumors, but in either case while they look credible, we'd still take them with a pinch of salt until we get official confirmation.

So with no further ado, here’s what the Nexus Prime is expected to be:


  • Powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich,
  • 9mm thin,
  • with a 4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass,
  • a TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz,
  • 1GB of RAM,
  • 32GB of built-in storage,
  • 5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front,
  • 1080p HD video capture support,
  • LTE/HSPA depending on carrier,
  • Wi-Fi a/b/g/n,
  • NFC,
  • and a 1,750 mAh battery.

Samsung Nexus Prime specifications leak out

So basically, this confirms all previous rumors and if that is indeed true, it will make the Nexus Prime the first phone slated for a US release to trump the iPhone 4S screen resolution. The 4.65-inch screen however will still have a lower pixel density (316ppi) than the iPhone (326ppi).

Not surprsingly, the Nexus Prime won't have any skins like the TouchWiz UI, but will rather come with vanilla Android. Verizon seem to also have nabbed exclusive rights to the Prime stateside, but that seems the least certain of all.

Looking at the rest of the specs, the most thrilling addition is LTE, which is said to arrive on carriers supporting it (Verizon users, rejoice!). The only slightly disappointing part of the spec sheet is the pixel count as 5-megapixel seems a bit low for the high-end profile of the Nexus Prime. We all know that image quality depends on more than just the megapixels, though. Do we have the best Android to date? Chime in with your opinions below.

FIRST!!!

Nexus phones sets standards so that the developers can make apps for the platform. The galaxy s 3 will be the undisputed next year...

The processor and camera bugs me. The exynos is obviously still gonna be better right? Including the Camera? It's like the atrix with TI OMAP, different screen and different OS. :/

S3 it is for me I think. Since touchwiz 5 will be co developed with cyanogen mod and google.

It bugs me too that the processor is omap and only 1.2 ghz? wasn't the new exynos processor just release with 1.5 ghz?

Look the GS3 sounds great and all, but be prepaired to wait almost a whole year before we see it in the US because if things go down like they did with the GS2, which took 6 months to reach us then the release of the GS3 if it happens after the new year we probably won't see it until the summer. Unless you plan on dropping some big bucks for an unlocked versoion online, but good luck with that when you could be enjoying the GS2 as we speak as I currently am. :)

After seeing the processor all I can say is GALAXY NOTE ALL THE WAY! (that is if it does prove true)

The Galaxy Note has a faster 1.4 GHZ dual-core Exynos processor, a larger 5.3 inch screen also Super AMOLED HD at 1280x800, and 8 MP camera on the back 2MP on the front. Sad news though is it will ship with Gingerbread and who knows when it will receive ICS being on Samsung :(.

This article from gsmarena says otherwise...........dont know really what to expect.....

i was just about to post that.

The GSM arena is saying that the Exynos Gen2 chip specs are the correct one.

That makes a lot more sense to me
a) its a samsung phone, why would they show off someone elses tech on a "top" phone?
b) nexus always has the newest and or the best chips in it. OMAP is nice, but its not the best.. exynos is.. and exynos gen 2 is even newer.

I think the reason the whole TI OMAP thing came out was because Google supported the processor. There was an article about it a while back. I mean it will be interesting to see what future Motorola's offer in terms of their processor since they will be owned by Google.

If it does have the 1.5 GHZ Exynos processor, I will recant my statement and would highly consider getting it.

Exynos with LTE....This phone is making my mouth water =))

This is what i was talking about before. Android is a great platform but every month a new device comes with this spec and that spec and the android fans unintentionally down other android phones. For instance the us just got the sgsII officially and yet ppl already are talking sgs3. Really what more can you need that a sgsII can't do?

31. taz89 posted on 06 Oct 2011, 10:15

for US the s2 just came out but for for many the phone has been available since april/may so the talk of the next galaxy s3 is on time so blame your carriers for the delay.got the s2 and is amazing and am really really happy with the screen but i sure cant wait for the amoled hd etc thats all the s2 will miss out really so the s2 will last easily for a while...to be honest if the s2 had the amoled hd i would not even bother with another phone and be happy with the s2 for another year

dude, the Ip4s was ANNOUNCED and on the SAME DAY they started ip5 rumors. Thats the nature of the industry. its not android, its ALL OS's. Dont be a hippocrite.

Hey remixfa is this TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz any good? I am a little bummed I really wanted that 1.5GHz Exynos from Samsung. I respect your opinion so what’s up with that OMAP 4460 1.2GHz?

147. taz89 posted on 06 Oct 2011, 12:34

i have read that ti omap dont have 1.2ghz officially and they have a 1.5ghz so my guess is its a mistake or samsung underclocked it but i dont think samsung are one to underclock...whether its as good as the exynos dont know but it has a9 cortex which the a5 and exynos use so dont think it should be a concern

it's the next best thing.

Thanks Thump3rDX17!

Its hypocrite and not rumors, actual devices. No os brings more phones than android. They out do themselves and hurt their own sales. How many ppl skipped the sgsII because they heard another more powerful android device is coming. That's what i mean. They don't allow each device to stand out.

Nexus is not gonna hurt anybody sales, they are not widely released. And its still unsure if Nexus is more powerful than SGSII.

I really wish P.A. would get their head out of Apple's @ss. Their writing of Android products still gets be-littled by their idiot comparisons. #myopinion
