Before people begin freaking out I hope they realize this is not final hardware and is no indication of final specs. This isn't really newsworty except for the fact that a prototype has been caught in the wild.


Who:s to say the protype is "no indication" of the final unit. That's exactly what a prototype is supposed to be. But yeah I wouldn't read too much into these specs, doubt they're the final
 
hd screen and the latest version of android = game changing. don't read into any further

Agreed.

Congrats! I just had my second child 2 weeks and, so I'm totally feeling you on the tired part.

Congrats on ASC-Child V.2!

How in the heck do you measure diagonal screen size on a curved surface?

Without using calculus, we could get a reasonably close value using an opisometer.

I hate to say it but another prime forum has over 154,000 views. Not near as many posts though ;)

Consider the challenge ACCEPTED. I'll write a script to slashdot/ddos this thread. Mods, no need to thank me! :D

I was at my local VZN store earlier today... He said that their navigator, madden game, and others were too popular not to have on any smartphone they sold.

Somebody actually bought VZ Navigator?! :confused:

No chance any of that is true.

Including that the screen is 1280x720/4.65"? :confused:

I prefer Calculus, but I'll take Metrology for 200, Alex! :D

How do you think Steven got his post count so high?

Congrats on ASC-Child V.2!

Likewise!

First of all, that is definitively not game changing
How is a 1.2Ghz duel core not game changing while a 1.5Ghz would be? If anyone realistically thinks you will see this next gen Exynos (WHICH ISN'T EVEN IN PRODUCTION YET) then your going to be disappointed.
 
Something big is coming? What would be big? Remember the teaser video?

There were two items shown to make each other better when combined. So what combinations would be BIG?

*Samsung + 4G? - Already been done.

*Samsung + new OS version? - Already been done with GB when they released the Nexus S. Sure, ICS is new but there will be a new OS every year. As much as I think ICS will be a big improvement... I don't think it is the BIG thing here?

*Nexus Device with ICS + 4G? Sure I guess, but is this a given for this device.

*True HD screen + 4G? This is a possibility but again...not BIG.

So what do I think??? This combination is something that would change the way we use our phones. What is the biggest complaint about Android smartphones? Battery life!

*ICS + New battery technology? Ooohhhh wouldn't that be big? Imagine if there was a solar screen that trickled power back into the battery or just minimized the drain the screen caused. 1000 mAh battery that could run for days...Epic!

I just think there is going to be something more than what we already "know" or have speculated about.

Just my 2 cents :)


My guess on this is: ICS + VZW 4G LTE

Edit: But that doesn't apply to other carriers, so never mind...I suck at speculating.

Well, I was referring to all the specs....not the 1.2. I don't think I actually said that the processor in my post. When I think of game changer I think of something that isn't already available


Specificallly, the plastic and the 16 internal storage....very underwhelming.

1.5 GHz processor of any kind isn't really game changing. It's just a progression of current technology.
 
No chance any of that is true.
I find all of it credible, w/the single exception of 16GB w/o any microSD. If it didn't have a microSD slot, I'm pretty sure it'd need 32GB internal to be a credible bragging-rights phone.

The 5MP camera? Yes, I could believe that IF it's advertised as having superb lens/sensor and excellent low-light capabilities.
 
The Sammy phones in my personal experience have always done a top-notch job in taking pictures.

For two sensors of the same size, one 5MP and the other 8, the 5 will have less noise and tend to produce clearer images, all other factors being equal.

That said, I think that judging any camera ahead of time based just on the MP spec is a lot like judging a car just based on transmission gear ratios alone.

And for what it's worth - a single frame of a 1080p HDTV is about 2 MP -- so - how many MPs are _really_ needed?
 
I could very well see Google doing the 16GB internal storage. If they are going to push Google Music and Movies services then they will make the argument you probably don't need anything more then 16GB.

Agreed. My Fascinate and Tbolt had pretty comparable cameras and there was a 3 MP difference between them.
