So there have been 2 reported people going hands on with the Nexus Prime, yet they have different information. Which one is fake?
Source 1:
TI dual-core OMAP processor (most likely OMAP 4460)
8 MP rear-facing camera
2 MP front-facing camera
NFC support
MHL support
HDMI support
Verizon first followed by others
No hardware buttons except for home, power, and volume
Android 2.3.4
Source 2:
Android 2.4.1
The phone looks similar to the Sprint variant of the Galaxy S II, with a round-edged body, but also similar to the Nexus S with a curved screen
Verizon passed on the SGSII to have an exclusive deal with Samsung to stock the Galaxy Nexus
The SGN will run on Samsung’s Exynos dual core CPU clocked at 1.5 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Super AMOLED Plus 4.65-inch 1280 x 720 HD display, 16 GB internal memory (with SD card slot). It's 8.8mm thick with a metal body and a 2000 mAh battery (the same as the new one that’s being released for the Galaxy S II
Similarities:
Curved Display
Verizon 1st, but one says exclusive other says other carriers later
I personally want source 2's to be real except for Verizon only part

They said it was in beta I believe 2 I just hope if isnt a verizon exclusive and I hope the exynos supports hardware acceleration like the OMAP for ICS

nothing was confirmed the device has not been announced lol but 99.9% percent it will come with ICS, and google said today OMAP is the lead and tegra would take longer so google did not mention exynos or snapdragon so I say both are fake

Any recommendations?
As i have tried ics on my neo, too many apps doesnt work propely on ics... You should think that

Probably the Galaxy S3. Hopefully we'll see an updated Note later in the year.
Sony Xperia S... Can't wait longer for future phones
Probably the new iPhone, depending on what they come up with.

Galaxy S3 for me....if it lives up the hype
hopefully it gets as much Dev attention as the S2
I'm waiting for Windows Phone 8 devices
I've had my eye on the Galaxy Note for a while. I'm a little worried that it's only the first of a new line though and that it could be out dated quickly with the rate mobile technology is moving these days. Alternatively, I was thinking about the Galaxy SIII, but since it's not out yet it's hard to see how it will actually stack up.
What's everyone else think about that?

Not sure yet, but seeing as my HTC has had its life dramatically extended by HTC unlocking bootloader for thier devices and so making it much easier to root and mod I am finding it difficult to find a complelling reason to move from HTC
Here is the Galaxy SIII quad core processor in action vs the dual core.

Galaxy SIII
I definitely want a bigger screen. I have the DROID Bionic now and am interested in seeing what Verizon brings to the table this summer, hoping its better than there lackluster options last summer (Droid 3, Droid X2)
I am very interested in the Galaxy S3. Like I said the next thing I want in my next phone is a bigger screen, but not really taken up with onscreen keys like the Nexus. I would be OK picking up a Note variant if Verizon got it this summer,but anything with a quad core would be cool just too say I have it, even if it really isnt necessary.
Galaxy Note (TMobile). I have been saying Galaxy Note is the "best smartphone of 2012" ever since it was announced back in 2011. Now both One X and S3 specs are out and none of them have changed my mind.
I will for sure choose between a Galaxy S3 and One X

I will get a Galaxy Nexus this week
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda app-developers app
well i have planned to stick to SGR until it totally breaks
well my requirement is
> atleast dual core SoC with good class GPU (i love gaming)
> screen must be between 4 to 4.5 inches (i hate big phones like note/s3 they are very uncomfortable to carry in pockets)
> screen should be LCD or AMOLED not based on pentile matrix, i prefer LCD as they are having high brightness and great outdoor visibility.
> good dev support
> and main important thing is that SoC is made by companies like TI, Samsung, Snapdragon who releases their proper sources. it will probably wont be having nvidia SoCs.
> next device will be 90% samsung as that phones doesnt comes with locked bootloaders and after rooting we can still claim warranty by just resetting counter and flashing stock rom
I will probably go for Galaxy Nexus 2.
Sent from my GT-I9103 using xda premium
I will be with Royal phone till the time i can receive and make call...
If i failed on previous line, then i will be moving to some windows phone(mostly with windows 8)
90% sure it will be a Nexus.
100% nexus.... while the hardware is often outdated by other flagships the timely updates make up for that..... i can no longer hav a phone that has been promised an update since like ever while everyone else has moved on

A nexus. 100%

Nexus 100 % It says that the next generation of nexus will be produced by several manufacturers and will also be greater choice and probably cheaper
1. Galaxy Nexus
2. HTC...whatever better than One X
3. Samsung Galaxy SIII
4. Maybe Sony. Not sure yet....

At least for one more year i will stick with our Galaxy R....
My next device will be Nexus or flagship device from Samsung (Lot's of developers will be there, so we will be having lot's of custom ROM's )....
mine will be a sony xperia series.. their camera and music quality is much better even for mid range phone, quicker upgrade and fully supports the dev community...SGR might be my last Samsung phone...
I will never buy nvidia powered device
Unless nvidia supports devs..i won't buy tegra bull****..still we are stuck with gb..i will go for good flagship model by next year by this time.
I'll keep my SGR for one more year no matter it remain stuck on GB. To taste ICS/JB i'd rather buy a tablet..... probably a nexus
Sent from my GT-I9103 using Tapatalk
Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus on my preferred list currently. It shall be Nexus any day here on. No crap from Manufacturers be it flagship or not.
I will preferred Galaxy Nexus 2, but if can be modified then screen quality must be like NOTE 2 & Screen size must be of Galaxy S3 with processor & GPU .
I'll use this one till I can call/text
I like Samsung but won't buy a device which isn't flagship.

Not at all Devs support is really poor there compared to Sammy or HTC. About upgrade Their flagship Xperia S got ICS update couple of months later than S2. (After I sold my SGR I was choosing between HTC One S, Xperia S and Galaxy S2).
About music and especially camera - you're totally right. I guess Xperia has the best camera.

You have a One X. Why would youu want a new phone that is actually older?
But Nexus wins. It doesn't have the Exynos processor, but an HD screen, bigger screen, faster updates, lots of development (S2 does too).
Camera is meh but like I said you have a One X which has one of the best cameras on a smartphone in the market.

The Nexus will be better because you will get your updates much quicker and straight from Google! I'd go with that.
I am a GNex owner and I say that you made a great choise!!!
The speed and the screen are perfect!
I play with it and its Platform since the first day..
I just love it..!
GS2 it is good but it doesn't give you the same feeling as the GNex!
Enjoy it!!

i sign that
I faced the exactly the same question when helping my wife to decide a smartphone. I did a little research on the internet, and here are the reason why I choose SII over Nexus.
1. Super AMOLED vs AMOLED HD
Yes, Nexus as better resolution and higher ppi, but the quality of display, the color saturation on the SII is better than the Nexus when comparing them side by side
2. Corning Gorilla Glass
This is only for the SII, Nexus doesn't have that.
3. CPU + GPU
Galaxy S2 CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、Samsung Exynos 4210。
Galaxy Nexus CPU：1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU、TI OMAP 4460。
Same CPU, but the GPU for SII is slightly better suited for high end graphics
4. Camera
Galaxy S2：8MP rear camper with 1080p HD video、2MP front
Galaxy Nexus：5MP rear camera with 1080p HD video、1.3MP front
So in the end, I choose the SII instead of Galexy Nexus. But please keep in mind, that the difference are minor, so if you have already choose the Nexus, stay with it. Both are excellent benchmark android device. Excellent phones from Samsung.

you made the right choice...enjoy......
