Nexus Prime

Richdog · 7 Oct 2011 at 07:57

Didn't see this posted so sorry if its a repeat, but: http://www.gsmarena.com/source_close_to_google_reveals_real_nexus_prime_specs-news-3239.php

According to our source, the device codenamed Nexus Prime is going to ship with Samsung's own chipset, with a blazingly fast dual-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. But wait, there's more. On that chipset will also reside a powerful dual-core GPU from Imagination. We suspect it's going to be the PowerVR SGX543MP2, or in other words, the same GPU found in the iPad 2 (and quite probably on the iPhone 4S as well).

On the back, instead of the 5-megapixel snapper, our source claims, there's an 8-megapixel, full 1080p HD video-shooting camera with some sort of an improved sensor. As for the battery, expect a 2050mAh one (do we hear a whoa?), which should be good for a couple of days use without charging.

Now that makes more sense to me, and now I am truly excited.

Been posted, and also curious albeit better sounding specs:

Why would Samsung put the effort into generating a brand new chip using the PowerVR chip, and even if they did do that why didn't they go for the 544MP2

Realistically I think either TI 44x0, Exynos that we know and love, or potentially the updated 32nm one they've just announced but not sure that'll be ready in time.

just checked and can renew my plan now.
So bring it on Tesday, show us what you've got Google+Samsung, and will decide...
google or apple... or just sim only and stick to old DHD

Indeed, I hope T Mobile get this otherwise I'll have to put some towards the SGS2 sale and buy it sim free.

i can't say for sure, but the N1 was direct from google, the NS was carphone warhouse exclusive and then went to vodafone...

I HOPE... this with the reported spec goes main stream on contract and sim free to all. As i really feel that this will be a fantastic alternative to an iphone. IMO it would be short sighted not to.

I think it's a hope that won't come true and it will be another exclusive here. We'll find out soon enough.

If you go by the Nexus S then around a month after it got showed off. The S started at £546 on preorder and suddenly dropped to £420 just before it went on sale. So I suspect it will be around that range.
