***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

The SGSII is a LTE phone right? How is the battery in that phone? Why would the battery in the nexus be so much worse than that one?

I know this is totally off-topic, but figured I could help real quick with a real world analogy that I learned about ISO when I first started photography.

Relate ISO number to worker bees collecting light onto the sensor. The less worker bees (lower ISO) the less light is captured on the sensor in that amount of time (shutter speed). The more worker bees you have (higher ISO) the more light can be captured on that sensor in that period of time. But as you increase worker bees in that same space you increase collisions between them which relates to digital noise. So the higher the ISO the more light you can bring in, but it results in more noise on the photo.

Back on topic!

so ISO @ 50 is really bad?
damn, i thought the NP would have a camera with an advanced sensor for better photos in the low light... so a higher ISO would be better for that, didi get that right?
 
Amazing how one negative comment can send everyone into a tailspin lol.

Just relax......

"Hey its coming with 2ghz processor" " oh thats just rumor!"

"Just heard its single core @ 800mhz" "are you kidding me?!!!" "Im done with the Prime!" " i cant believe this! We are getting ripped off!" "Prime sucks. 800mhz single core! Thats bs! I waited all this time for that?!!"

I think everyone needs to step back and grab a cup of coffee.

I've followed this thread from near the beginning, and it seems whenever someone posts some favorable information, we are quick to dismiss it as rumor (Where's your source?), but as soon as anything relatively negative is posted, we all latch onto it like it's proven fact and it's the end of the world. (I'm guilty too)

These are all rumors, folks. Let's not panic yet.

Got cup of coffee, settling in, thinking positive thoughts.
 
Gooooooooooooooood morning, Vietnam!

So much viewer mail I don't know where to begin! :)

Welcome to the forums, elye! :)

Any and all info is appreciated... but yeah, we do like to vet our sources. I know you're not going to reveal how you know this to us, but could you possibly PM our illustrious mod Steven58 with that? Perhaps you can explain to him, behind closed virtual doors, how you know this to be true.

Nice if it worked that way, but it really doesn't...

That said, AndroidForums official stance in this matter is that all members here are free to examine the information themselves and to come to their own conclusions. It's our Admin (Phases) belief that in this way, group scrutiny will ultimately establish the bona fides of any information, and the source(s), in question.

Because jobs are stake, and corporations have their own way about them (need I say more?) - I would ask that we concentrate on the information rather than the individuals.

Ultimately, the good guys giving us good information only care about that anyway.

Thank you! :) ;) :cool:

EDIT AND PS:

(when someone else asked for credentials)


That is exactly what we seek to avoid.

  • In the event that someone is telling the truth, they could lose their job by having details revealed
  • In the event a troll slips through our defense, the thread is neatly hijacked

You can fake all sorts of things without face-to-face contact, but here's something you can't fake:

Did Google trademark the word "Nexus" or something? Nexus isn't really a trademark or "created" word... not sure how they could copyright it... not like "Droid", which IS a trademarked word from Lucasfilm.

I guess I got some more time to kill on the computer. Think I just soft bricked my Bionic :( Can't even access recovery, just the Bootloader. Loaded so many ROMs on the OG no problem, second one on this guy, BOOM!

yup. Nobody knows anything. In regards to bmx and his battery statement. It is already well known that battery life will not be great on ANY LTE device released this year. The best you can hope for is halfway decent. When the 2nd gen LTE radios are released next year we will start to see much better battery life.

BMX is not saying anything that people dont already know. You want a good LTE device with good battery life wait until next year. If you dont want to wait then dont complain. Thats the way it is and there is no changing it. Period.

What's halfway decent? (no sarcasm, first LTE experience for me).

Wow, I wake up this morning and y'all are going crazy! CK, you are sounding quite logical IMO. I'm trying to get a grasp on what has got everyone stirred up and I can't say I'm having the same emotional reaction. When I think about it, I think that's because I really don't believe anything is true about a phone until it's released and the first reviews come in. Nothing will actually tell you more about the phone than actual use cases...and we haven't had that yet. Not for reals.

To me it's all just a glorious possibility. So don't get discouraged...yet. No phone is perfect. I'm going to go have a cup of coffee and wait for some actual news on these babies. (Yes I'm talking about the Nexus and the RAZR). Peace out.

No really bad.

ISO is the determining factor as to how much light is allowed on the sensor (or film). The smaller the ISO the less light is allowed.

The small ISO could have been because anything higher would have made everything appeared to have "blown out" Lots of factors come into play, A lot of "white", a lot lights, bright sun light.

Hard to tell because there isn't a picture.

Now that I look at it again, I see that the aperture was at 2.75. Thats a fairly fast lens for a camera phone. Being that it was at that aperture, it makes sense the ISO was set at 50.

I just found it weird that the camera on a phone could get ISO that low.

No ISO50 means the photo didn't need a high ISO to get a well-lot picture.

ISO50 may be the lowest it goes, but it may go all the way up to ISO1600.

well... son of a ***.... I could have sworn I read that the SGSII HD LTE would have an exynos 1.5ghz and is shipping this month

This is exactly what I was thinking too. All you Verizon customers, get your vaseline ready, because they are about the F*** you in the A** again.

F*** you Verizon!!!! Give me a D*** exynos powered device!!!

tbrindisi said:
There is a reason for this. It is human nature to predict the future based on past events.

ie Verizon has F***'d us in the past, continues to F*** us, and will probably F*** us in the future. Therefore, any negative information must be true! Its just logic isnt it? LOL

Wow, you sure get bleeped a lot. In order to avoid bowdlerization, you could try minced oaths, which are almost as good as the real thing. :D

Now P3Droid is saying:

What a Dbag. :cool:

Edit: Google search SCH-i815 gives me the impression it's a new tablet. So, no worries.

Edit 2: The bluetooth SIG for the 815 says it's a phone, though. So, worries?

Knowing Verizon they probably won't get it so no worries

The battery life though... ugh, that worries me a little more, especially since you really can't tell until you've used it in an actual day yourself.

And if you wait for user reviews, opinions are all over the place. It's so subjective. Between fanbois, individual usage, tolerance level, "lemon" units, etc. You really need to experience it for yourself. I really hope when reviews come in they are accurate and bad stuff isn't swept under the rug. I honestly believe that's the case with TBolt lovers.
 
All I gotta say is anything has got to be better than the Touch Pro 2 I'm using right now. I have to charge it two or three times a day on light usage, my text messaging works....sometimes, about every 3rd website I visit crashes the phone (including this site), Facebook app doesn't work anymore, Twitter app crashes the phone, have to reset the phone at least once a day, and several time a week it just doesn't turn on. Oh, and the only thing keeping the back cover on is the stylus.

Release the Prime!
