The story originally said 4.3". I saw it when they first posted it.

Here's a thought ... Could the large bezel actually include capacitive buttons, but are dimmed out/turned off and therefore not visible in the picture? Maybe there's an option in ICS to use/not use capacitive buttons in order to be compatible with phones released prior to ICS. Now, if this is the case, I'm definitely back on board.
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?
Perhaps, but that still sounds like a hell of a lot of space for capacitive buttons though. :/
It doesn't appear likely to me that they would do that since it would be rather redundant (even if it were an option) and the software buttons are going to be a highlighting feature. I was thinking they left a bit of space for sake of resting your thumb/fingers when holding the phone in landscape. I'd imagine it would be frustrating for some if they kept accidentally hitting the touch screen.
It's a long shot, I know. But, it seems like much more of a waste to have that large bezel with absolutely no functionality. If it's needed for the hardware inside, I'd actually prefer to make the device a little thicker to accommodate that rather than the large bezel.
I call shenanigans on this pic as the next iteration of the Nexus. May be an ICS ROM on a Nexus S though.
Maybe someone could brighten the image in photoshop to see if we can see any physical buttons on the bottom.
Is it just me or do the software buttons look really big and ugly?
And with that much bezel and so much of the phone hidden, could easily be a photoshopped Nexus S

You guys are crazy. That's maybe 1cm of bezel. The fact that the contrast of the screen goes that black is awesome if it can fool this many people. Hold your phone sideways, why do you want your thumb blocking your screen? With a mic, antennas and ports behind that bezel it allows for a thinner profile. If this think pops out at 9mm with an LTE radio you're all going to stop complaining. This phone is going to be badass.
On my OG Droid, there's only a teeeennny blank bezel space below the capacative buttons. Sure there's a small lip but that's so out of the way it doesn't even count IMO. I get along fine w/out a giant bezel now, why go to a gigantor (in comparsion) one?
Lookign at my OGD right now, I see the bottom bezel on the Prime to be on par with the top of the OGD. It is far from anything to get bummed out about. Look at the iPhone's bezel, that thing is f'ing huge and nobody seems to give a crap.
looking at my nexus s.it more looks like a nexus S with the HW buttons turned OFF.
though id stil love to have that rom/ICS!! if it would look like that on a nexus s
Someone on phone arena did math with pixels...it's a 4.6" screen apparently. Original story on gsm arena updated to say 4.6" as well. This makes me feel much better about it.
