HTC does now too, so you don't have a point.

They didn't when they made their Nexus, so his point still stands.

To be honest, I kinda want a SE Nexus

Nope. Motorola's the next Nexus.

for everyone that thinks a qHD screen is is better than a SuperAMOLED+ do the math. Subpixels mean a lot.
qHD= (900 x 540) x 8 subpixels = 3,888,000
SA+= (800 x 480) x 12 subpixels = 4,608,000

This points tho the SuperAMOLED+ screen having an edge on crispness and clarity over the qHD displays that seem to be very popular recently even though its sort of a step down from the industry leader. but at least it is available for all manufacturers and not on a timeless backorder.

Doubt it.

Now that Sprint has the NS4G. And I bet the nexus3 as well, I wonder if vzw and att will fold to googles demands to get a nexus3.

**muscal** · 05-10-2011, 06:51 PM

I think Sprint will be on the Nexus bandwagon for now on. Looks like i'll be switching from Verizon in the near future.

cool

LG at the end of this year will be at the same spot Samsung was at the end of last year. I don't think it will be an issue of them earning the right. Plus, Moto had the Xoom, which is arguably the dev device for Honeycomb.

I honestly just want LTE support on the 700 MHz band for AT&T and Verizon. I could do without the CDMA.

Id be disappointed if doesn't support LTE.

Here's the thing though; LG has not been a partner with Google for long. Motorola's been there since the beginning of 'mature' Android, and they arguably put Android on the map with the original Droid. They haven't had a Nexus device yet, and I'm sure they're itching to try.

That, and I really could see Google wanting the next Nexus to have access to Verizon's LTE network, and Motorola has been Verizon's strongest partner with Android devices.

**lafester** · 05-10-2011, 09:35 PM

Verizon doesn't want a nexus so why would motorola get to make one?
Moto has also been the worst at locking down phones. Let them prove they want to be open before giving them the honor of nexus status lol.

Take this for what it's worth. Could be something or absolutely nothing. Saw it on twitter this morning.

Please for the love of God Google make this for every carrier and all 4Gzzz
If Apple can stick a CDMA/GSM radio into the next iPhone there should be no reason you guys cant either. There could be no better selling point then to have HSPA+, WiMax, and LTE versions of this phone.

I dont care who makes it. LG, Moto, HTC all make good handsets. (although a 4.3" qHD SuperAMOLED would be drool worthy, don't think we'll see 2 sammy Nexuses back to back though)

They could make one phone to work on all four major carriers, but no 4G. It's impossible to add in WiMax and LTE into a 'global' device. And even if they could, it would be the most bulkiest smartphone ever. But they should either make one device for GSM carriers and two for Sprint and Verizon with their respective 4G networks. Or just make one device and forget 4G. The latter would kinda suck.

**the one and only M** · 05-11-2011, 06:24 PM

Maybe we'll see a gsm/LTE version for att, a cdma/LTE version for Verizon and a cdma/Wimax version for Sprint.

I hope google makes an attempt to get it on most of the us carriers. If we do see an LTE option, I hope its compatible with both Verizon's and ATT's network.

I know LTE uses a sim card, but Google needs the nexus to be standard GSM so it can work on any carrier around the world.

SA+ has 3 subpixels per pixel same as normal LCD including most qHD screens. The confusion is from the way it was originally described by Samsung (maybe intentionally misleading on the subpixel density). In the space of 8 subpixels of AMOLED, SA+ will have 12 subpixels, but in each case that space actually represents 4 pixels.

That's why I said in another post that there should be an LTE version.

Had the EVO since launch day and just got the Nexus S 4G a few days ago and I'm in love! I was literally the first preorder at my local bby for the EVO 3D but now I'm thinking I might save my precious upgrade for the next nexus. I'm pretty sure I can wait it out with my nexus s but I really hope sprint gets this earlier then spring/summer next year!

uum they made the nexus s 4g for sprint which is cdma so they can make a cdma version they already have and I'm sure verizon will want in on the action since it sells pretty well. They can have two versions for cdma and for gsm.
