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

[iSyntac]

20 minutes to make 12k!

Where is Han Solo when you need him!

We got this, Han or no Han.

 

[timetoroot]

I'm not too sure about that facial recognition stuff. What happens if the camera breaks while the phone is locked???

Hey Dubbin1, how are your tanks doing!? TRAC! Small world!

 

[gilgehmesh]

FACT! Those specs are not for the Verizon version!

You could be right on the money. They could stick in a larger batter for the LTE version for Verizon. One can hope anyway.

 

[Millinium]

Anyone notice that it says at the bottom of the spec sheet "specs may differ on LTE version"?


3000 posts to late....dang

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

It's ridiculous the number of people here geeking out over this announcment. Unbelievable!

 

[iSyntac]

Kinda off-topic, but I wish Google would release a CD of this creepy music stuff we're hearing. I like it!

Really?? I thought it was interesting at first... but after 30 minutes of essentially the same thing, I'm ready for a change of pace.

 

[AntimonyER]

What do we do if they don't announce the Verizon version tonight?

 

[The_Chief]

Yep, we just covered that LOL

Even if the VZW version is a little thicker for battery and LTE, it's still a jewel of a phone!

 

[gilgehmesh]

Hansolo, your my only hope... for hitting 12K in 18 mins...

 

[traserv99]

The specs say "*Specifications above may differ for LTE phone"... 18 minutes for guesses

 

[mangopositive]

I hope the phone is made of candy (posting)!

So true. Its crazy the amount of people going bananas over this phone, both in the thread and chatroom.

That would be awesome

 

[RadYOacTiVe]

No way I could keep up in the chat room. I'm good right here and can't wait to read the reactions afterwards!

 

[rancidbosstone]

it's getting so close...

 

[Trent Reznor]

yup yup yup or Preloaded music on the Galaxy Nexus with this

It would be cool if this was the boot up music on the phone.

 

[Jeepo]

Great that I read release early November for USA and Europe!

 

[Slug]

ok who cares already dude

I suggest that you go review the Site Rules, DUDE. While we have a relaxed attitude to mild everyday-type language, it's stated clearly that members are expected to respect the sensitivities of others.

let the mods do there jobs that's why they are mods to regulate

We also expect members to behave like adults and show some responsibility and restraint. Just like in a bar or restaurant and somebody politely asked you to tone your language down.

This is an exciting time for many of us, so let's not have the mood spoilt by a minor misunderstanding.

Hmm? What if I said you are the crazy one in here right now because your NOT!

 

[The_Chief]

Hansolo, your my only hope... for hitting 12K in 18 mins...

Do we know the Mods are going to lock the thread at the beginning of the announcement???? Why not the END?

We can still hit 12K, I assure you!

15 minutes until we all start spasming out!

 

[BuTbKa]

Let's do 12

 

[Intercrew]

Any idea what the sound chip is on this phone? I really would like to use this as my main mobile mp3 instead of my cowon since I own a couple of high end cans. Be nice to use it as a phone and mp3.

yup i always go for the extende battery so i'm use to having long battery life////

 

[BlueBiker]

Anybody know if 1.5GHz makes much of a performance difference over 1.2GHz?? Or are the gains marginal at best?

It's a 25% boost in the CPU, and perhaps also the GPU. A response time improvement below 15% isn't noticeable to most people, so 25% is just a little more perky. Not night and day.

wasn't the reason for the OMAP4460 1.2ghz on LTE to conserve battery. .and so the GSM on HSDPA just MIGHT be an exynos

We don't know for sure why it's 1.2GHz. Could be battery, could be poor yields (in contrast to a previous poster's claims), or a combination of both.

The 4430 = 306mhz

The 4460 = 384mhz

A 1.5GHz 4460 has 384MHz GPU, but if the clocks are locked then a 1.2GHz 4460 would have a correspondingly slower GPU.
