That is why I underscored nexus______ in my next device. If it is going by prime, who is making it and where is it headed? Verizon? Motorola Metal? Something so epic? Or just some more of the same. third carrier, quantity overseas manufacture? That is why California Apple bodes better with me, and the materials they use are NOT fantastic plastic, mold-able to the elements. Can you imagine a metal glass nexus? That would have me spinning in happiness. I love hobby class RC's, and everything that breaks (plastic, because it is cheap and NOT strong) I replace with aluminum or carbon fiber. Material is material. I just don't fan plastic very much, low tolerance for breakage.

Come on now, let's be a little honest - Sense adds things to Android that is missing in stock. Specifically in the contact management part of it.

Abso-frickin-lutely!

Sense does bring a lot to the table. The contacts management alone is the biggest reason I'm partial to HTC devices.

What specifically does sense bring to contact management that android lacks?

I never understood why a plastic body is such a huge negative to some people. Probably because I always put cases on all my phones - so they all feel the same.

I agree it like how it makes the phones much lighter and if they are so worried about it put a case in it. I mean people complain when phones are to heavy now they complain when they feel plasticy. Plain and simple people just like something to complain about.

You do realize iphones break way more than most of the androids because glass on both sides of a phone is stupid idea. Not to mention look how just recently they started offering insurance for it and you still have to pay like 200 for a deductible. The parts are more expensive and less resistant to break. Go check the video of the gs2 back being twisted and all that trying to break and it doesn't.

Yea an all regular glass phone I'll pass on, But is Gorilla glass biodegradable? Because that with some metal in the inner frame might look hot. I don't mind Sammy's hareware. With my Epic, I've dropped it from like 3 foot high table while reaching for my glasses and nothing. I have seen some scratches on the edges 1 day and it seemed to have almost vanished the next day or 2. never got scratch on the glass from dropping it.
Would a nice Metal body that is biodegradable be awesome? Sure but just cause its plastic doesn't make is a cheap phone, just not what you would prefer. Aslong as the screen is nice and the phone powerfull, I'll take it in plastic now please lol.

Last I recalled, all screen sizes are measured diagonally. With that being said, just because they remove the buttons at the bottom isnt going to change how big the phone is unless the screw with the ratio. Then it would just look silly.

I agree but removing the buttons gives you another. 2-. 3 inches in extra screen in the same size phone as what we Have now.

Only gives you space at the bottom of the screen is my point not on the sides. To fit a 4.6 in screen in the same frame they would have to increase the side width too. Cant do one without the other and keep the same ratio

Noone ever said the phone wouldn't be a little wider it wouldn't be much of a difference though.

 

[byrds8]

It was mentioned the 4.6 screen fitting into the 4.3 frame. So by default it was mentioned it wouldn't be wider.

But to add. 3 removing the buttons would do that since they measure diagonal idk why you think size needs to increase.

 

[byrds8]

Yes if they remove the buttons diagonally it will change, however every screen regardless if its a CRT or panel have an aspect ratio.That is the measurement of the top and sides of the screen. By just removing the buttons you are only changing half of that ratio. To keep the ratio which it currently has the short and long sides would both have to change so it doesnt look goofy and stretched.

 

[STC09]

Will the extra screen space will be occupied by the same buttons even in full screen mode?

 

[crzycrkr]

All I know is that if the next Nexus is much bigger/less sleek than the current Nexus, I'll be dissapointed. There are tons of other slabs out there, I like the compromise that the Nexus has always been.

yes but if they just stretch it out length wise, then they could be going for more of an HD screen ratio (closer to 16:9) than what is currently offered in the nexus s

Well they said it would have an hd screen so maybe that is what they are going for.

 

[byrds8]

Except for its already 16:10 now as it is. That and 16:9 is the most common rations used. Aspect ratio has nothing to do with HD. HD is is how many pixels they cram into the screen to get the smoother shaper HD look.

Well it guess we will find out in a few months or so.
