galaxy nexus hand time

you're ignoring the fact that the 540 in the omap is clocked almost twice as high. as for game performance I have yet to see any games on android that look as good as some of the iphone games that run on the same gpu as the nexus s.

Google chose this gpu for the benefit of developers, this gpu powered the iphone 4 and is in more handsets than any other gpu. Using the same gpu in the nexus line makes it easier for iphone devs to move to android (and lets face it there are more and better devs in apple's ecosystem because currently thats where the money is). making it easier for devs to switch will improve the quality of applications on android.

Your in a winless battle. Trolls are a stubborn species and will believe there own words regardless of how un true they may be. Just ignore it. You'll feel so much better.
 
The latest spec releases make me a tad nervous.

They don't fully match up to what SUB-dawg had to say about the device. Of course maybe he had a pre-produciton model and thus the specs were different.

latest spec leak: http://www.androidcentral.com/latest-galaxy-nexus-leak-looks-be-best-yet


notice the 1.2ghz vs what SUB-dawg said at 1.5ghz. and the 5MP camera vs the supposed 8MP camera.

I hope this thing delivers the beastness-ness.
 
I'll reserve judgement on the specs until Google/Samsung announce it but if its the 1.2Mhz/5MP cam over the 1.5Ghz/8MP then YAWN.... Because you know damnwell when AT&T or whoever get their version in a few months, it's going to probably have a bump in specs. Why not just use an 8MP backside illuminated sensor like the Sony one in the iPhone 4S?
 
I think if those specs are true, then they are for the non us model. Which explains the TV tuner.

Haha....a TV Tuner? So I guess that makes 3 different versions of this phone? GSM, LTE, and now one with a TV Tuner?

I am even more confused than ever before. This is the first time I've heard of this device even having such a supposed feature.
 
IF this benchmark holds up, the 3D performance is not stellar on the GN... but I wonder how many 3D features are actually used in a phone these days. I mean outside of games.
While we not agree with sblantipodi's presentation style, his message may actually be pertainent.

I haven't seen too many apps (other than games) that require leading 3D graphics. As iOS devices are going after the mobile-gaming market, I can understand why such performance is important to them. I personally don't care, but I'm not a deeply experienced Android user.

Does anyone see the supposed lower 3D performance as a deal-breaker? Other than games, are there any apps that push 3D performance?

It isn't just the 3D performance. If this is truly supposed to be the leap frog, curve busting Android device, then releasing it with a graphics GPU that is less than what's in the fabled iPhone 4S is a bad move. If you're trying to create a showcase product to promote your OS as better than the competition, you need to at least match that competition's performance. An Android OpenGL based game should be easily capable of matching the iPhone's look, feel, and framerate. If it can't, then this isn't the curve buster that it's supposed to be.
I'm not saying it will stop me from getting this, but it definitely is a bit of a let down.

I don't remember other Nexus phones being that groundbreaking. They were all nice, but I think you guys are feelin a bit of the 'ol iphone spec projection. I'm a bit worried about the specs too, but I'll wait and see what ICS brings as far as speed is concerned.
 
Hopefully whatever shortcoming in specs exist will translate into improved battery life. The trade off works for me.

god yes, ill take an underclocked processor if it can give me battery life close to the Razr. Seriously, the Nexus should have just as good battery. It's stock, OS optimized and i think has a bigger battery. 1900. Don't let moto beat you!

That's the point. They weren't. The Nexus S was a rehash of old tech. Google is releasing their "next generation" of OS on this device. This is the time to show off what is new and what is coming, not what has been. I want them to outshine the mediocre update to the iPhone, not come up short to that halfway update that Apple did.
 
There is so much conflicting information on the specs of this phone and the only reliable information is that which will be released tonight. Past that its just all more speculation and time wasting to repeat or even continue to read them.

I'm suspecting that Google and Samsung are aiming this device to be all about ICS with enough oomph and "new" hardware to push it nicely. It seems that it would be in their best interests to not take the chance of having major issues on this flagship device by trying out new and not enough tested hardware. The last thing either wants would be a Thunderbolt type launch. People waiting anxiously for a long time and then put out a device that has just too many issues and each time they try to fix them with an OTA things just seem to get worse or they fix one set of issues and put on another set.

I'm still leaning to the Nexus but I have to admit that the new Razr is a devilishly nice phone. But I don't like the idea of a locked bootloader. The Vigor/Rezound seems to be getting more dated by the minute, too many really nice alternatives, it should have been out last month. November is just too late and I think its going to be a hard sell for VZW with the Razr and the Nexus sitting alongside of it.

Interesting stuff on the phone front right now!
 
it uses the same GPU used in Nexus S :D
GLBenchmark - Phone details comparsion
amazing how 3D is slower due to the bigger display resolution.

Surely the UI will be faster due to software optimizations but 3D graphics and games will be slower than Nexus S.
This is a fact, not an opinion since they have the same GPU on different resolution, I'm saying facts, if this is trolling I don't have clear what "trolling" means :D

The galaxy note(which I think is the closest phone spec wise to the nexus) has a quadrant score of 4500+ stock and linkpack 110+ stock. It's clearly not the 720p screen making the 3D score lower. I haven't seen gl run on the note, but from what I've heard it outperforms the GS2.

Never mind this. GS2 and Nexus have different GPUs.
