Will you buy the galaxy nexus? Or wait for a quad core?

[Robert]

Ok I didn't read every post though this thread so sorry if this is a stupid question but... Does anyone know when the first quad phones are expecting to hit the market?

[legion125]

Anywhere b/twn this summer to fall. Most likely fall.

[Robert]

Thanks I personally am not getting a new phone until late January of '13 so I'll be getting either the iPhone 5 or more than likely a quad processing core. I've never owned a iPhone but I think I'm a android guy.

So when are we going to find out the specs of the GN? Is it really going to have a better camera and faster processor?

 

Wish we had an answer to this!

Highly doubt the chip and camera and vastly different from what verizons model has...

Why would they upgrade the internals vastly till the next Nexus device is launched?...it simply doesn't make much sense to change it much as it'd be like releasing a new nexus model which this is not going to be really...

Only reason there would be a change is to incorporate LTE but that's already done on the VZ model as is so no need to change for that...

There will be a lot of unhappy tech savvy perspective customers if it isn't upgraded. If they are getting the same model as Verizon, they should have stamped that leaked ad out right away. That said, I doubt that they will upgrade the specs as the Nexus devices have the hardware picked right off the bat and the OS developed around the hardware. On the other hand, if they are already changing the internals to accommodate Sprint's spectrum frequencies, why not upgrade the items that people are unhappy with?

 

I guess Sprint likes to keep us on the edge of our seats.

 

Edit: I wonder what it would do to Samsung's relationship with Verizon if they upgrade the handset for Sprint? I don't know that they have a very good relationship as is, then you add this kind of strain...

That's for sure. 14 more days until we know for absolute certainty what the specs will be.

[legion125]

If they do upgrade the specs, it will just make my decision harder. I'm on the fence to getting the GNex or waiting a while longer for the GSlll, although the EVO One is making me curious as well.

Another reason it likely wont be updated..though the VZ Galaxy Nexus has the Samsung CMC221 for LTE though I know no specs on that lil thing...BUT I would be highly surprised if it didn't work with Sprint's LTE freq...Would think the actual antennae hardware and memory being the only thing different than the VZ model...

 

would be a first to use different hardware inside SoC wise b/w carriers on Nexus device im pretty sure...

The Verge is reporting April 22nd for the launch of the Sprint Galaxy Nexus. The received the tip from a wal*mart employee so maybe it's just wal*marts release date.

So much for the GNex+ or coming standard with the high capacity battery...

 

Nice find!

[stitch1007]

Yeah, I was pretty sad when I saw the specs were the exact same as Verizon's. Not that big red's isn't enough I was just hoping for a bit more.

I hear you on that one.

[twospirits]

I figured that it would be the same specs. Which leads me to what I said that the HTC EVO One, Samsung S3 have better specs and are worthy of the Premier Flagship title.

Engadget is now showing more training material. It's different from what droid life was showing but the same info over all.

Waiting on GS III or a more mature sprint lte device. Unless youre in or near a NV market, the GSII is cheaper and darn near as nice as the nexus, esp once it gets ICS.
