Phil's thoughts on the LG Nexus leaks ...

[dwd3885]

we'll wait til we have all the info and the announcement from Google. BUT, as it's looking now, I am leaning towards just buying the S3 and putting CM10 on it..

I tell ya, I've been very much happy with that. Never mind what I've said about not liking the home button.

Back to the LG Nexus, though. ... I just got another Optimus G to play with for a while. And I'm kinda more excited than ever about the prospect of an LG Nexus.

I am, however, still a little worried about the camera. We'll just have to see.

Yea I think that may be the best option..

If the latest rumor of $399 but only 8GB and NO LTE is true, the S3 does look more enticing. Unless you are on Straight Talk or T-Mobile, LTE is pretty much a must these days. I am paying AT&T a boatload more than I would Straight Talk, so I think I should get a phone with LTE!

I want to leave iPhone (have 4 & holding off on 5) but no equivalent camera is a deal-breaker. Nexus 7 with I5 camera & I'm in.

If their is a White LG Nexus will it be sold on the Play Store?

If its on the play store for the UK it will get some attention. The problem here I'd that we in the UK don't get the Google direct version. So when I got my gnex I had to change the firmware to get the Google direct updates from Sammy to Google or I would have to wait like everyone else. That's a big deal to me.

Not gonna happen. If you want the best camera go S3 or One X

To be honest the can on the gnex is fine. I don't understand why it gets so much hate. I use it all the time and the pics have always been good.

Same here. All my friends have iphones, and they post the horrible pictures they take all over Facebook and instagram. If you know what you are doing, it's not hard to produce quality pics with the gnex.

It ain't all about the megapixels, folks. Twice as many megapixels in a crappy CCD, and crappy software, don't add up to a better camera.

Stock Android has never had great camera software. Never.

Wait, isn't this unicorn supposed to have a quad-core Snapdragon? Isn't that = the Krait? Didn't the Krait have an LTE radio on-chip, hence its choice for the One X? Or was that an option?

Okay, too many questions for one post. I'll get my coat.

The quad core S4 does NOT have an integrated radio like the dual core version does.

I was wondering about this the other day.

From what I understand the Nexus phones don't take good pictures because the stock camera software has to be open like the rest of the phone, and all the best camera software is proprietary. If that's the case, would it be possible for a developer to create a better camera app for a Nexus phone? It could be closed and proprietary, unlike the stock camera. I assume it would need to be phone specific to optimize the software to work with that specific hardware, but with the quality of the stock camera on the Nexus phones, I think it could be a big seller. I'd pay $5 to improve the quality of the camera on my GNex.

Thoughts?

i believe you are incorrect. reference this qualcom PDF and look at MSM8960 Pro. just like the dual core MSM8960, this one has integrated LTE modem

Instagram pictures are horrible on purpose.

Take a closer look at the PDF. MSM8960 is dual core, APQ8064 is the quad core and has no modems.

I stand corrected, thanks. I was under the incorrect belief that both s4 pro chips were quads. Thanks for the correction. Not sure how I feel now about that chip :-/

I agree I'd rather have integrated LTE then an extra two CPU cores
