Nexus Prime

Just a thought...

People have said the Nexus S came out a couple of weeks after it was announced.

Although the announcement of this phone has been postponed, it doesn't necessarily have to delay the release of it, right? I mean, next week Samsung/Google can announce the phone and say "You want it? It'll be available tomorrow on the 19th as we had originally planned!".

*keeps dreaming*

i think it will be released soon after
 
Quite tempted, this could be the phone to replace my Dell Streak!

That said my Streak seems powerful enough as it is so I'll probably keep it another year or so and pick up a nexus prime when they drop under £200 sim free. Too many more important things to spend money on first.
 
If this is running an TI OMAP 4460 SoC I will pass on the Nexus Prime and wait for the SGS 3.

What's wrong with the 4460 by the way? the CPU side is as good if not better (clock speed) to the Exynos, and GPU isn't too shabby either.

I'd prefer Exynos but as long as it's not some Tegra abomination I'll be fairly happy :p

I've mentioned before though but I'm not sure why it would be a 4460, Exynos makes far more sense to me but we'll see...

There's currently only two 'dual core' SoCs playing nice with LTE atm, the OMAP 44x0 (Motorola Bionic) and the snapdragon (T-Mobile SGS2)
Both are clocked at 1.5GHz unlike Exynos which Samsung has maxed at 1.4GHz (note/tab 7.7) only the 32nm die shrink gets a 1.5GHz clock.

It's the OMAP4460 or S3 Snapdragon. Samsung will hold back the 32nm Exynos for a SGS3 sometime early next year :(
 
meh, I'm sure I've read that LTE is doable via an external chip?

Damn Americans with their fancy LTE, I want Exynos :p
 
LTE is currently only available from an external modem (The 28nm Snapdragon/NovaThor/Grey will change that)

Exynos's modem interface doesn't seem to be entirely compatible with the current chip. (ditto Tegra 2/Apple A5 etc)
