Nexus "3"

According to rumors, the next nexus will not only not have an amoled screen but will be made by LG. Am I the only one disappointed?

Well dont you get it ?
HTC is far more expensive than Samsung which is far more expensive than LG.
Nothing feels like my old HD2 that was the most great cellphone ever. I might sell my nexus to go get an HD2 and stay with it until it rots.

Why do u really care abt something which doesnt even exist...?
Relax and have fun with ur nexus s and the samoled, while google and next manufacture comes out with another masterpiece in some unforseeable future.
Remember this, that gogle never said they are going to come out with any of pure google experience handset suntil they launched N1.
N1 saw some nice responce but wasnt doing so well but the noise in consumer market was asking google to come up with next iteration, they did and they saw a massive success, continued the legacy by extending the nexus family with NS.
Lets see what do they do for us in future...
Just my 2 cents!

I believe that rumor is for Google and LG to be creating a "Nexus" tablet, not another phone just yet. The Nexus S just came out!
I will be very interested to see a Google tablet
Cheers

Latest rumor actually is that Motorola might be building the Nexus 3.

A very reliable source said that Apple will have the new nexus *nexus 4GS* ;-) Let's stop speculating what the next nexus will be and enjoy what we have now.

If the screen came with the new Toshiba 367ppi screen (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/18/toshiba-declares-victory-in-pixel-density-war-367ppi-coming-to/), or the 4.5" LG AH-IPS screen (http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/18/lgs-new-ultra-high-resolution-ah-ips-displays-simply-stunning/) you may not care if it lacks some AMOLED tech.

This is indeed correct the likely choice of the next nexus mobile device line will be motorola due to the CEO of motorola showing up at the Nexus s launch and talking with google ceo etc. they have made a contract to be the next maker im pretty sure you could find the info online

Actually there are rumors of both companies making the Nexus 3 PHONE. And they are just that, rumors.

I actually know both the ceos of LG and Motorola and they said that Casio was producing the N3...
5 inch screen
super-duper amoled 28000×9334 resolution.
24mp camera
2ghz quad core processor
1Tb of ram
front facing 3d camera with sexual chocolate
...the rest of the specs sound a little ridiculous to me so i am not going to list them.
I am holding out for this one

so you mean kyrocera is not making the next one...shm, it was supposed to have three screens,

These blokes are good. They actually got a pic of the claimed Nexus 3 by HTC.
It wont matter to me who makes it as long as the Nexus S gets Icecream Sandwich!

LG makes some of the worst phones out there.
The Nexus 3 will suck if made by LG.

I dunno..having had the original Nexus and a majority of Motos offerings from the OG to the Atrix...I hope HTC gets it. I've not been impressed with any of the LG line up and to date the original Nexus is still one if the better handsets imo. Despite the power button. lol.y

Phones with the most XDA devs

Hey all,
I was just wondering which phones are most popular here at XDA in terms of developer contribution and such. I'm looking to buy a phone, but a little low on money, and that running a nice custom ROM will compensate for the potentially ageing hardware.
I know that the HD2 is definitely one of the most popular phones here, but what other phone have huge dev support?
Thanks,
Dillon

Nexus, S2 & S3

Definitely those phones, also the galaxy s family like the captivate has good dev support.

Samsung Galaxy S3, big smartphone with big development. If you want other more cheaper, S2 is very good too

The original Atrix 4G is rather smallish, but not sure about the bootloader options. I do know that the Atrix 2 DOES have a locked bootloader, is slightly larger than the OG, and has some good development regardless of its locked down BL. I personally would NOT recommend ANY Motorola devices, they lock them down and updates are not coming quickly. The A2 devs are working on cracking the BL with a possible brute force script to hit the CDT table in order to flash a custom CDT to bypass key signature checks. But, it is uncertain what RSA encryption is being used- either 512 or 1024 bit cyphered. I got the SGS3 for the performance and dev support...

Gt-i9000 has 84 pages of full android development. I own a Gt- i9001 which is stronger than i9000 and it has only 18 pages!!! I9001 is one of the most popular android devices. Dont forget that it used to be the best phone from 2010 until the first dualcore devices.
However both of these devices if the brick its not very dificult to unbring such as other devices as galaxy note....

[Q] My first smartphone is getting old.

Hi boys, and girls
As my 2 year contract on my carrier, is getting to the finish line, i want to get something new. (I will keep my small litle muscle phone O1 as a second phone )
At the first i wanted the galaxy nexus, because of the great software support, and the developement, in our xda forum.
Then suddenly i saw the new Optimus 4x, but, there is one but. There is no developement in here, because of locked bootloader
I really don`t know what to take. Thought about the Xperia S, but nope.
The phones what i need to choose from , are - 1. Galaxy nexus
2. Optimus 4x
Maybe Acro S ?
Maybe some other suggestions?

Maybe the new LG Nexus? It'll be $399 on Google Store unsubsidized according to rumors.

Yeah, but it will not be available in my country for a while.

seeing how often google release OS.
I will stick to nexus device for fastest OS update
I love my Google experience device motorola xoom running AOSP jelly bean

Yeah. I think I'd go for the new nexus phone. Just wait for a lil while

I think getting a new LG phone is a waste, Anything other than a galaxy nexus is.
The new android OS? Availably from day 1.
Every app is tested on that first, which means closer to no bugs.

I think that i will take Galaxy Nexus. Just because of software support, developement. The performance is also o.k No need for 4 cores.

When you say best wouldn't that be a matter of opinion? I've been enjoying my Nexus S 4G quiet a bit and I've tried a lot of the newer phones (S3, Galaxy Nexus, etc...) But keep coming back to my NS4G as for tablet no clue but the Nexus 10 looks awesome x)

Opinion?
As it was asked earlier, This sound like an opinion question. But I do like facts and more information before recommending a device. However as far as overall "Android" device, I would say that is the Nexus line because of the heritage and Options/Customization.

if you talk about customization and numbers of roms made for it HTC HD2 and SGS-1 are best.

I think best tablet spec wise is the Nexus 10. The best phone is a dual between Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S3.
My Nexus 10 is cooler than yours.

Who here only buys Nexus phones?

The nexus 4 is my first nexus phone and won't be the last. And to be honest I don't think I'll buy anything else but nexus phones from here on. All these other android phones are terrible with bloat and ugly ui skins.

Galaxy Nexus rockin' AOKP MR1 Build 3 w/ Franco 364.....

Hello,
I only buy Nexus phone, first the Nexus One (live long and prosper), and now the Galaxy Nexus.
Usually they have the best support, good hardware and good price.
the 3 things I consider the most important.

Nexus 7 and 10 here.. Waiting for my Samsung phone to die so I can get a Nexus phone.

Strongly considered the 4, but the non-removable battery and lack of microSD support killed any chance of me owning one.

I got my s3... but really want a nexus now.. I just wish they had expandable memory. Sure a removable battery would be nice, but the memory is the bigger need of the two.. I think Google does that so you use their cloud services.

Ill never get a non-nexus! ;D

I have an s3 right now...but in the future I will only buy nexus phones, because of good developer support and AOSP.

I do love the look of the Nexus phones, but no micro-sd means I won't buy one, it just tells the manufacturers they can get away with hampering us, so unless Google ever puts expandable storage on, I'll never buy a Nexus device. Flashing another phone to something aosp based is really easy, so Nexus goodness without the drawback

I use a Tab 2 7.0 as a giant phone thats also a tablet aka phablet
I sure hope by the time this thing breaks, Nexus 7 will have proper phablet support, or, there will be a 5" nexus phone.

Have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 : Completely Filled ! <3

I think as you all! Better Android stok that have all those changes that slow down devices

My n4 is my first nexus, but I probably won't be getting the next nexus if the continue to skip important features for me like lte, microsd and a larger battery. I actually haven't been so dissatisfied with a phone before.
