Google Nexus Live Announcement Discussion Thread

Re: After Announcement thoughts on Galaxy Nexus and ICS here!

Any idea what those three little dots were officially? I don't think I missed that. Assumed it was inductive magnetic charging like macbook

for a dock. I never saw an actual charging port though so i wonder if those actually charge.

Yeah, the little dots on the side are for docking and charging. The Nexus one had them and, it's pretty awesome IMO. It's much easier to fit the phone in a desktop dock or car dock than, usb is.

So wait, it's super AMOLED, not super AMOLED plus?

Yup, just Super AMOLED. Which means its pentile, but due to the high pixel density it might not make much of a difference.

Re: After Announcement thoughts on Galaxy Nexus and ICS here!

I came away very impressed with the GN phone and ICS. I think that Google finally gets it. Android needs to create a strong emotional bond with people. ICS is great start in that direction, IMHO.

The UI seems "clean" and friendly. The workflow seems simple and intuitive. The "wiz-bang" feature seems to be the ease of use, IMHO. I'm looking forward to dumping my 3GS and getting this phone.

I wonder if email systems like Exchange or Yahoo will work similar to gmail. I hope so.

I agree about the camera. My Iphone 4 cam is only 5 MP and, it's a lot better than the Bionic's which is 8 MP.

i hope they're at least using the same camera as the iphone or something comparable. they can just add it to the lawsuit. >_>

there is so much covered in these events but what i'm worried about is what's not covered because that might be a cause for concern >_<

Re: After Announcement thoughts on Galaxy Nexus and ICS here!

looks like it DOES have a removable battery but the storage is in fact internal. I didn't see a sd card slot. Which explains the 16GB and 32 GB model. fine with me.

 

[kylep23]

The sd card slot is not that big of a deal to me as it was a year ago. All my main stuff is on the cloud. Pictures could probably go to picasa.

The phones a let down in just about everything but ICS looks amazing the hardware being no better than anything that is already out and worse than the Iphone 4s is not something big in anyway.

Their camera is still likely to be better and the GPU is far superior. So, GUI, camera, and GPU. For many folks thats a huge deal breaker and will turn them to the IP4S. I'll have to get my hands on the Nexus before I decide, I don't do a lot of gaming of my phone but I want it to play smooth when I do.
