Nexus Prime Specs are out!

How about the SGS3 then,do you think this might be somewhere near the speed or spec of the 4S???...lol

The specs have appeared on the internet for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S III, including a 2GHz quad-core processor.
Like the current flagship device, the Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S III will run Google's Android operating system and will ship with Ice Cream Sandwich, according to Gsmarena. Samsung will announce the smartphone at next year's Mobile World Congress conference where the firm announced the Galaxy S II earlier this year.
Other than the 2GHz quad-core processor, the Samsung Galaxy S III will have 1.5GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage and a 10MP camera. A 4.65in super AMOLED III screen has been specially made for the device with 1280x1024 resolution. This means it will have an odd aspect ratio of 5:4.
The new version of Touchwiz, Samsung's user interface, will be less of a change to Android, so the firm can release updates quicker.
The last of what we know is a 9mm thickness, a powerful 2,250mAh battery and the inclusion of near field communication (NFC) technology. At 9mm the phone will be about 0.5mm thicker than its predecessor.

Due early next year....months and months ahead of apples next offering...

SGSII is much more fluid than your iPhone 4. It already has (as did the original Galaxy) hardware acceleration of GUI implemented by Samsung.

i don't know the original Samsung galaxy was pretty fluent but the browser pinch to zoom and other stuff was definitely not as smooth as the iPhone 4.

The BGR Samsung Prime specs are bogus.
The specs of the real Samsung Prime will be almost the same as the specs of the recently released Samsung Galaxy S II HD LTE


Display: 4.65-inch HD(1280x720) Super AMOLED
Camera: 8 megapixel (flash)/2 megapixel on the front
Battery: 1850 mAh
Value added features: 1.5GHz dual core AP, embedded 16GB memory,
Bluetooth 3.0 HS, WiFi a/b/g/n



Never thought BGR was right..

The screen is better because it's bigger? Bad analogy. Android still runs **** for apps, so it could a 45" LED HDTV and it's still running **** apps.

The ones i use run a lot better on my SGS2 than they did on my,don't do games or kids apps sorry...but as least they are running on a screen that i don't binoculars for!!...lol

HD was never about pixel density. By your definition we still do not have HD TV sets. It's all about the pixel number and yes Samsung prime will be the first phone with HD screen.

iPhone 4 beats any Android phone? In what sense? The lowest number of CPU cores? The smallest amount of RAM? The lowest CPU performance? The lowest camera resolution? It does indeed do all this.

I could put out a phone with the same specs as ibms Watson. If the software is poorly coded and optimized and doesn't run well, it doesn't matter. Nearly every review you read puts android in 3rd place. It doesn't run well

Was about to post that. It wouldn't make sense to release a device thats is inferior to the latest GSii. Although both completely destroy the 4S


This is going to be the dark ages for apple. Personally I even see bankruptcy within 10 years now that steve is gone and the disappointment of the 4S.

Apple fanboy will always find way to justify the outdated iphone.

Bigger screen, NFC & LTE....the 4S just barely caught up to the last generation htc and samsung

As will a Fandroid. They'll do whatever THEY can to justify their arguments.

I don't see LTE, or NFC as "New", since other phones already have it. Both are still relatively new, and not the "norm", and won't be for some time. Regardless of the marketing hype, LTE is still very limited, as is NFC. By this time next year, there's a chance that the next gen iPhone will have these, if in fact both are more widespread/available.

The problem is that everyone compares spec - spec, and whatever has the bigger number wins. It's also the "I'm first! I Win, you're a loser" syndrome. If you're that excited about the new Prime, get it and be happy.

I owned the OG droid and Droid X and I agree the software needs to be better. My ip4 was very fluid. I hope this phone has great software because I would jump back over :)

inferior to the latest gsii? have you seen the a5 benchmarks against the sg2? the gpu in the a5 destroys the gs2 gpu and the phone will have up to 64gb of memory man why are people so ignorant? the camera on the 4s will no doubt be better then the camera on the gs2

Lowest cpu performance. Lol. Hahah.
Lowest camera resolution. Lol

Ok einstein.

I provided links. Try reading the thread. :rolleyes:

That's just not true. Look at comparison tests of gsii vs iPad 2. The A5 is the superior processor. The "advantages" that the galaxy has over the 4s are really just things that come down to personal preference, or will be cool in the future or are really useless right now (NFC)

But no, neither "completely destroys" the 4s. It's actually the opposite (the A5 has been benchmarked at almost twice the power of the sgs2 in certain areas like graphics processing) the clock speed of a processor doesn't really mean much, as the core i processors have shown time and time again

Are you Android fanboys this delusional. Isn't the iphone 4 the best selling phone in the world regardless of specs. And that is going to change how?
Apple is the most profitable company besides exxon right now. And they are going to claim bankruptcy. Lol. :rolleyes:

Really, I provided links on this forum claiming other wise. The A5 completely destroys the galaxy S2 CPU and no contest GPU. How are you this delusional.

Any facts to back up your opionion or are you talking out of your A##.

Wow.

Where did you get that info? In the keynote they clearly said the same A5 chip thats in the iPad 2.
Click to expand...

Just look at the photo of A5 chip on the PCB from Apple's presentation. One can read the markings on the chip there and the chip model is clearly different from whet they used in iPad. iPad's version is just too big for the phones.
 
dccorona said:
yes it is. The Galaxy S2 has a "faster" processor than the iPad 2/iPhone 4s, but the Apple A5 performs better by almost double...you mean to tell me thats not an issue with how the system manages resources?
Click to expand...

That's everything. Optimization is the key, and always will be. That's been the premise of all Apple products. You're buying an OS optimized for the hardware, and vice-versa. That's why it works so well...

I'm not slamming Android, but it will never reach that same level. It's like expecting all the variants of Linux to run well on any/all Intel systems. It's a generic OS, written for the masses. That isn't to say someone can't tweak things, and make it perform better, or outperform. However, most won't go to that level. Same with these phones. Most won't bother to do the tweaking [rooting, or custom ROMS, or Custom Launchers]. People want it to work, out of the box...

Sorry I never posted that. That was a response to my post.

Get my name out of there. :)

I agree with you by the way. :apple:

Maybe it has more RAM. But it is the same chip.

Seems to be a problem with the quote system right now, as you were quoting me but it had someone else's name there as well...I wonder what's goin on. I'll edit it to take your name off
 
Are people seriously saying the iPhone 4S will have the better screen? The only department the Samsung Galaxy S2's screen was 'worse' than the iPhone 4's was due to its resolution, EVERYTHING else was better. Now with a 720P resolution there's no way the iPhone 4/4S has a better screen.
