Rumor: Galaxy Nexus Coming to Verizon November 10th for an Ouchie $300
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
You ready with your grains of salt? Good, because a supposedly leaked document from Verizon has pegged the much-anticipated Galaxy Nexus to launch on November 10th. That's the good news. The bad news is that it'll run you 300 bones.
The Galaxy Nexus has been the most eagerly await phone next to the iPhone 4S. Rumored to have a ginormo 4.6 inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixels, a 1.2GHz dual-core (hopefully Exynos) processor, and of course, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, this is something we really want to get our hands on. The $300 price tag stings, but if it's as good as we hope it will be, I'm sure it'll do just fine. We've already seen some video leak (though it's likely that that's an earl...

Samsung Galaxy Nexus passes Wi-Fi cert in Canadian form
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung's Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime) could go beyond the US quickly if a Wi-Fi Alliance certification (PDF) is any indication. The Android 4.0 flagship was cleared on Thursday as the GT-i9250M; the "M" badge is usually reserved for Canada-localized Samsung phones. The Galaxy S II in Canada, for example, is the GT-i9100M.
Not much can be gleaned from the certification by itself, although it does show 5GHz 802.11n Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct sharing support. The new Nexus should have a 4.65-inch, 720p screen, a dual-core processor and possibly a fast five-megapixel camera.
Google and Samsung will reveal the Galaxy Nexus on October 19 in Hong Kong. It may be a Verizon exclusive in the US, but the Wi...

Samsung Nexus Prime pops up at a retailer's web page in Singapore
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, the Samsung Nexus Prime has already been listed as “coming soon” by an online cellphone retailer based in Singapore. The much anticipated smartphone has its own spot on the retailer's web page where the majority of its tech specs are listed and a handful of photos hint at what the device should look like when it launches.
According to SGBEST – the guys that added the Nexus Prime to their online store, the first Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich device will have a 4.65-inch display with 720 by 1280 pixels of resolution, which coincides with what some speculations are pointing at. The listing also mentions the existence of a 5-megapixel camera on ...

November 3rd pegged as launch date for Google Nexus Prime; Verizon pumped about DROID RAZR
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaVerizon WirelessGoogleGALAXY NexusDROID RAZR
Last month, we reported about a source for Droid-Life who calls himself the Panda King. The "King" had passed along word that the eagerly awaited debut of the Ice Cream Sandwich Android build would be launched via Verizon on November 3rd with the release of the Google Nexus Prime. Today, a source for Phandroid who is considered to be an Verizon "insider" confirmed that date as well. This means we can expect an introduction of the device to take place fairly soon.
At the same time, this source said that Verizon has high hopes for both the Google Nexus Prime and the Motorola DROID RAZR. Comparing the two, the source says the word he is getting is that the Nexus Prime has...

Samsung's Nexus Prime tipped again today, this time a PowerVR GPU gets in the mix
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
The conflicting leaks about the upcoming Nexus Prime handset made by Samsung are starting to look borderline hype-generating deliberate. After we got a rumor earlier today about a 5MP camera and TI OMAP system chip, now we get a different story from the guys that were sent an actual picture of the device showing the HD screen resolution, that was posted on the same day that Apple was to announce the new iPhone 4S - by accident, we know.
Our hearts stay with this latest leak, though, allegedly coming from a guy inside Google, and not only because the first source broke a nutty story the other day about Sprint getting an iPhone 5 exclusively. It's rather since the latest rumor brings back to t...

Samsung Nexus Prime first image surfaces: 4.6” display with impressive 720 x 1280-pixel resolution
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
The Samsung Nexus Prime might have just spoiled a part of the iPhone day - the handset heralding Google’s latest Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, was spotted and it packs quite a punch in the form of a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. This gives an impressive pixel density of over 320ppi. And don't worry about the fact that the screen shows 720 x 1184 pixels, as it's simply not counting the status bar and the on-screen key area.
Now, there’s one key factor to be considered - is it going to be a pentile screen or not? If it is, then the quoted pixel density won’t be comparable to phones with RGB screens as the pentile organization includes only two subpixels ra...

Google Nexus Prime should show at CTIA
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Well, it looks like we were right about the Nexus Prime showing up at CTIA Oct. 11, as we’ve just received an invite from Samsung which will give us a “look at what’s new from Android.”
While Samsung doesn’t go outright and say this is the Nexus Prime or Galaxy Prime or Droid Prime or whatever, it does have the Android logo in it and this times up nicely with previous statements. The Nexus Prime is supposed to be the showcase device for Android Ice Cream Sandwich, which Google’s Eric Schmidt said would come in October or November.
Previous rumors suggested that this would have a 720p HD screen and we could easily see this as another version of the Galaxy S II HD LTE, which was announced with...

Twitter poets hint at Nexus Prime variant with QWERTY
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
A few days ago The Panda King, who apparently has inside ties to Verizon, was exchanging lines of poetry with Tom Fleming and the riddles pointed to a November 3rd launch date for the Samsung Galaxy Prime (aka Nexus Prime). Well, Tom Fleming has come out of the woodwork again with some more poetry that points to a variant of the Nexus Prime that may contain a physical QWERTY keyboard.
The poetry also says that LTE is a "sure bet", that the device will have an HD screen and a dual-core CPU as we expected. It mentions "fancy new widgets" and then in the last line refers to "the one with a keyboard". This seems to point to a variant of the Prime having a QWERTY keyboard, and based on history it...

Samsung GT-I9250 'confirmed' as Google Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung's upcoming GT-I9250 smartphone has been pretty much confirmed as the Google Nexus Prime based on the handset's user agent profile (UAP) hosted on a Samsung-owned website.
Sitting on the wap.samsungmobile.com domain, the UAP is titled nexusprime.xml and makes reference to the model number GT-I9250 – we already guessed that this would be the Nexus Prime, leaving the GT- I9220 as be the Samsung-branded version of the phone.
The other sliver of information gleaned from the file is that the handset will have a 480x800 WVGA resolution display – which fits with the rumoured Super AMOLED screen we've been hearing so much about.
The prime of life
Sadly there's no indication of whether or not...

Samsung accidentally confirms the upcoming Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung has accidentally confirmed the existence of the next Nexus device by uploading something called a “user agent profile”. Mobile phone makers create said files so developers and websites know the capabilities of the device a user is using to access their content. While it doesn’t provide a complete spec sheet, it does give some hints as to what we can come to expect. For one thing, the name “Nexus Prime” has finally been confirmed. We’d honestly be shocked if Google or Samsung decided to change this. Next up, we know the technical name of the device, the “GT-I9250″. This will come in handy when combing through FCC documents and other certification pages, looking for hints as to the typ...

DROID Prime is Nexus Prime for Verizon?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesVerizon WirelessGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Ever since we first caught word of the Nexus Prime, we’ve been waiting eagerly to catch word or hints from Samsung. The next in line of the Nexus phones would be the first to feature Android 4.0 “Ice Cream Sandwich,” and a Super AMOLED Plus display. We’re now hearing that the Nexus Prime may actually be the DROID Prime, which would make it exclusively for Verizon.
We already knew that Verizon was passing up on the Galaxy S II, and we figured that the carrier was holding out for some more impressive version of the Galaxy S II, or GS2, but it looks like something sweeter is on the way. But because the DROID Bionic is coming September 8, it might be a while – maybe December or January – until w...

Samsung leaks Nexus Prime handset itself
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
It looks like Samsung itself has gone and confirmed it is going to be behind the long rumoured inbound Nexus Prime handset. Samsung has worked on the Nexus line before, as they built the Google Nexus S, so their involvement shouldn't come as any great surprise.
The new phone was mentioned in a cease and desist letter sent out to those who allegedly managed to get their hands on firmware relating to the as-yet unreleased handset.

Samsung reportedly confirms Nexus Prime

In an attempt to stop the spread of a leaked Nexus Prime firmware build, Samsung’s legal department appears to have confirmed both the existence of the phone and rumors that device was built by Samsung. “It has come to our attention that you are wrongfully in possession of, and intend to release or otherwise publicly disclose without Samsung’s consent, firmware for the Nexus Prime,” a letter obtained by Geek.com said. “The Nexus Prime firmware is the exclusive property of Samsung and/or its partners, suppliers and affiliates.” The letter is signed by Samsung’s General Counsel, Bryan Hopkins, though the source of the letter has removed the name.
