2 years ago we didn't have games like Shadowgun and Infinity Blade running on mobile phones, it's hard to say what we will have in 2 years time and what kind of requirements they may need. By which point the GPU will be 4 years old.
Eh, I don't even play many mobile games these days myself, but it still disappoints me that the new Nexus will use such lackluster hardware. It was my intention to buy this phone (and I still might), so it's not like I want to be disappointed.
Again as I said though, even if the GPU is 4 years old it doesn't mean that it won't cope at all with any games, maybe only the most demanding ones would struggle and if games do improve (to the likes of even better graphics than what is currently on the market) then even the GS 2 GPU won't be good enough.
Seriously, stop saying that, everyone is giving you perfectly good reasons why we'd want a better GPU in there.
Very few are actually and what is more the fact is that I am still wanting to know why and what else there is out at the minute that really requires a much better GPU and to give me some examples of where the GS/NS lags real badly that qualifies the need for the new nexus to have an even better GPU and people are failing to answer those questions, in fact they aren't even attempting to.
I want to know in real world usage, how is the GPU going to impact them? Apart from some of the most demanding games.
He can't, he must defend his precious reference phone.
I am defending it against the likes of people who as usual in the tech world aren't impressed unless it is a lot better for their precious benchmarks no doubt
I have said as well that it is a bit disappointing why they didn't just match the GS 2 or have some features like the SD card slot, however have we actually seen any expert reviews on things like the camera, battery and GPU yet? (which people are making the most noise about) No. So reserve judgement until then.
So how can you all judge a mobile on those factors when it hasn't even been released for more than a day yet.
Yep, he's getting close to ignore.
Lol
, do you seriously think that I care if random people from an internet forum put me on the ignore list?
I honestly don't see what is wrong with my points? Ok yeah some are debatable like the GPU part, which I and some others like nuclear winter are providing good points for.
Apart from people stating stuff, which is a good enough reason in some ways about future proofing and the price, I honestly can't see how my points aren't pretty much true or hold some ground.
I have given examples/evidence to back up what I say unlike the majority of posts in here that just say this pretty much:
- "camera ONLY 5MP, quality will suck"
- "small battery with that screen, going to be terrible"
- "not as good GPU as the GS 2 one, therefore performance will be terrible"
How do these people know that this is the case? Have they actually used the mobile themselves, one which has bug fixes and all as well? Maybe if they provided some background info like I have with pretty much all my posts then I wouldn't be posting non stop to nearly every reply.
And another point that I have made which no one has answered, is, is the little less power in the GPU really worth sacrificing a great screen, pure stock google mobile with the possibility of battery life being as good if not better than the GS 2 as well as the camera being as good and maybe even better? (we won't know about those last 2 things till reviews though, but just say that they were slightly better and in theory they could be).
That last point is to people who haven't got a GS 2 but are deciding between it and the GN.
