Screen snap of nexus prime?

[Scottatron]

Oh yes, it will be mine.

the screen is 4.56". it just looks and acts like a 4.3" because of the on-screen navigation buttons.

1184 x 720 = 322 dpi at 4.3"
1280 x 720 = 322 dpi at 4.56"

the missing 96 pixels are the on screen buttons

Very clever

 

[Officerpolabear]

seems like a giant waste. Obviously ICS will use capacitive buttons in older phones (see Nexus S leak) but why include that on the new Nexus?

Maybe they couldn't find a way for ICS to detect if the device it's running on, has hardware buttons or not so they had to add an option for it. I'm just guessing right now but that seems like the most logical thing to me.

I did too. And my name is also Mark Allen. That's weird. Do you also have a rooted Evo 4G?

Photoshop was used.

Nice catch, I will say though that this still doesn't necessarily "prove" anything. I use Photoshop regularly for everyday photos I take, even just for cropping, and this photo does look cropped.

Edit: I just remembered, the gsmarena watermark was most likely done in Photoshop as well.

Edit 2: ahh chuccck beat me to it.

yeah, because some of us are expecting them to keep the size of the phone more pocket friendly by reducing the size of bezel with no buttons. Having the large bezel pretty much negate the benefit of having software buttons. You only lose the screen real estate for having the buttons there without much benefit.

all these sites use photoshop to stamp their watermark over their exclusive pics

 

[edoublediz]

definitely cropped. they resolution is a good clue it has been cropped. if true, that means the whole photo is out there somewhere!!

Looked at it again and it looks fake

I looked at it a little more closely and it looks like it has been manipulated.

You don't have to magnify to see it. In fact, you see it better when you are looking at the whole thing.
Just look at the angle/alignment of the top half and the bottom half.
The top half looks like it is facing slight up right and the bottom portion is almost facing straight. I understand it should be straighter than the top potion, but too much so. If you drag a horizontal line from the top to bottom, the angle of text drastically change from the middle pushing the right side too high. It looks like right side is moved up to create the effect of facing slightly to the right, but it doesn't look right.

I guess I am hoping it is a fake, but C'mon, those buttons should look better than that.

There are other signs, but I think it's enough to give away. DPI? Don't they call it PPI?

That's why I just said it was used and didn't go any further.... Didn't think about the watermark though, I was actually considering that they used it to crop.

Good call on the watermark.

Dpi is dots per inch, ppi is pixels per inch, both are commonly used and mean the same thing.

You should also recall that the rumors say the display is curved after all so any rules about how straight text should look should be thrown out the window.

Re: Looked at it again and it looks fake

Curved display of Nexus S only have curved outer screen, not the display itself. I doubt that they will make a curved display that distort what's being displayed.

Fair enough, but this isn't the Nexus S, the point of my post was just to remind you that anything can happen.

I am saying that "anything" will not include a display that somehow distort what's being displayed.

Of course I am not certain the image is a fake, but if I have to bet on it I would have to bet that the image has been manipulated based on what I see. And I hope it is a fake cause I am expecting better than what I see.

Well there is some chatter on twitter about this and BMX seems like he's saying it's not real???

 

[wyseguy77]

This is real!

This is real!

Oh heck yeah! It's real We have further proof.

Look how amazingly thin it appears! Not sure what the dimensions will shake out to be... but the height and thickness ratio seems to indicate this phone is going to be pretty thin. And 4G. Which means... something no one else has managed to do so far (for Verizon's 4G LTE radios anyway).

This phone is going to impress!

Okay, looking at the latest teased picture going around, I'd be surprised if the display isn't at least a little bit curved. Super AMOLED has amazing viewing angles so I don't think anything would be "distorted."

I'm waiting to see the actual picture of the entire phone.Whats shown isn't much to tell what it's going to look like.I wana see the front,back,top ,bottom and both sides .
