---2012 Nexus Phone facts/rumours/info thread---

[reflux]

Welll... hoping some more Nexus 4 details leak out or we get an announcement of the event rescheduling... or something else juicy

 

[Orcvader]

Orcvader derailed the thread by posting the youtube clip of the nexus 10 in here, then we all took it further off-course. Sorry!

From the first post:

This thread is for all news on the upcoming Nexus(s), all in a neat place of its own

We all assumed it was just a new Nexus phone at first .

I hope the phone has good audio performance - from recording videos to listening to music. The S II isn't the best, nor was the Nexus One or the Desire.

Should be fine judging by this review, assuming the Nexus 4 will be like it's Optimus G counterpart: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_g-review-835p7.php

Yup it should be very good although despite them saying the cleanest they have heard, the GS 3 and one S still score better according to their tests (not by a huge amount though)

This just in...

I like the 'Switcher' menu for JB4.2 otherwise it looks just like 4.1

Bum!!

It worked about 2 minutes before I posted it! Cos I watched it...

Basically the Pull Down Notification has an extra button that you press and it then has about 9 large square buttons (3x3 grid) for Wi-Fi, Screen, Data etc...

Also some people are saying they saw 5 columns of icons in the Drawer (so it's a 5x5 grid), but I never noticed

Otherwise it looked like plain ole JB-4.1 (this coming from someone with an ICS phone that will never see JB! )

The front and sides look really nice. Shame he didn't show the back as well.

Interesting thing from further down that page, You can purchase movies in the UK now, and Google Music is coming to the UK November 13th.
That'll certainly resolve a few issues some people have been raising.

great videos, Nexus 4 looks quite nice overall - storage is the big downer if it's capped at 16GB.

Big question - is the Nexus 10 sAMOLED? Didn't look it from the videos.

It appears in the videos that the official keyboard now has swype-like functions, nice.

Google calls it "True RGB Real Stripe PLS," and in our short time with the tablet we found it to be on par with the iPad's Retina display, with sharp text, excellent color fidelity, and great viewing angles.

 

[kona786]

Ahh. PLS = LCD

Was very far-fetched for it to be sAMOLED. Looking forward to seeing it!

So there is a 16Gb version of the phone?? Excellent
