Don't you think google should move up the release of the nexus phones? What's the point of releasing them around october? It puts the phone in a weird position, millions have already bought the new iphone refresh, it has not so top of the line specs anymore, since a couple of months later we the galaxy , LG and htc phones released , not to mention the new qualcomm chips.
August should be a good time, the iphone is not out still and most of the android manufacurters have already released their flagships, what do you think?
Agreed
Timing is everything
Also quit giving us hardware that's "meh" example, 3 gig ram, when most flag ship devices are running 4 gig
Then for 2016, the higher end model is going smaller, MEH, wrong moves imho

the 4 gig of ram is only useful if you are keeping 60 apps running on the background..who keeps that many apps running anyways..the 3gig should be plenty..the note 7 will have 6gig and thats bc all the bloatwares running on touchwiz
Nexus was never about having best specs available. Its kinda obvious that this is your first nexus device, because all the ones in the past were the same. And releasing it at the end of the year makes it possible to sell cheaper.
Nexuses also cost significantly less than those flagship phones with 4gb of RAM

Yeah, the Nexus program was meant to showcase the new version of Android.
So the timing is all about when the new release of Android is available, which has traditionally been Q4. This is bad for phone releases since it means they are in between SoC availability time frames but the Nexus program was never meant to move large number of phones. Perhaps with the new "Phones by Google" program, they'll introduce a new line of devices different from the Nexus line. That way they can slot in releases sometime in Q2 like all of the other manufacturers.

Offended by a simple Nexus phone and comments. You must be a joke, right ?
Back on topic. The latest and greatest doesn't matter to me. I just need something that can follow my lead. They can release it whenever they want and I would still buy it.
I am not early buyer. (4-5 month after release.)

If anyone really considers that crap (in my opinion, sorry to offend anyone), i suggest he/she should wait for the Samsung S III is much better.
I highly doubt it. It is rumored that the AT&T variant of the HTC One X has been delayed due to a problem with the manufacturing of the Qualcomm S4 chipset.

Smaller screen.
Smaller battery.
NO removable battery.
NO micro SD compatibility.
Marginally better processor speed and camera.
Why would you want the HTC?
My contract is up with Sprint in 6 months. AT&T said they'd "rebate" me $75 to switch back to them.
As soon as the early termination fee from Sprint matches that, I'll be tossing my Evo into the junk drawer that afternoon and getting a Note.
My wife has the Note and I am shellshocked at just how good a phone it is...
The One X looks like a really nice phone but how can you ever go back from a 5.3in screen?
If I would ever abandon my note (not very likely), it would be for the Asus padfone. I owned a transformer and that thing was awesome. The padfone looks to be much better than the One X design-wise, with roughly the same specs. Also, Asus rocks at updating their Android devices.. only ones who get updates faster are nexus owners.
Can't replace battery and no memory card option. Yuck! And I like HTC.

People seem to forget the fact that other phones have smaller batteries because they have smaller screens. You don't need a 2600 mah battery to get the same results as the Note with a smaller screen. Also, I would say the processor and camera are far from "marginally" better considering the processor outperforms the tegra 3.
Also, it will ship with ICS instead if having to wait for this carrier bull****
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I thought about the HTC one X. But honestly i am not a huge fan of their design but this one looks cool. But going down to a 4.6 display would prob suck. I dont use my camera that much really. ICS is what intrigues me. Not really worth it IMO.

Note 2 is a good upgrade if you are not looking for faster hardware, but more specialised features like the s-pen.
If you don't need the features this second, I would advise you to stay with your SGS3 'til the Note III comes out in August/September(or just go with the SGS4/other similarly specced phone once it becomes available).
The note 2 is a good upgrade because of the 2 gig of ram thats why everything is faster..alot of people forget we have only 1 gig

Are you planning on being without a phone until the SGS4 gets here in April/May? The S4 is better if you want a smaller device, best dev support, and don't need the s-pen. This is all pure speculation though as neither of these devices have been announced.

I believe ergonomics make all the difference between two devices. If you frequent a tablet for daily use, than Note series offer a good fusion of a smartphone and a portable tablet. Otherwise, Galaxy series should be preferable. As such, S4 would be the best upgrade.

The note 2 really isn't an upgrade as it's the body of a SGS3 in larger form. With S-Pen. S4 would be an upgrade or Xperia Z

The short answer to that is it is actually a good upgrade.
But, if you're asking if it is a WISE upgrade, then no. Because we're seeing 1080p screen phones with 2gb of ram and A15 architecture cropping up everywhere, so the note 2 may be better than the s3, but there are others in the market of the same price with better specs. HTC butterfly for example.
I dont like anyone should possibly switch from s3 to note 2.. How i see it it is a 2gb of ram,larger screen,s-pen s3..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
IMO is not a good upgrade since is almos the same sh*t but if you want a bigger screen at same resolution (less DPI) and s-pen stuff then yes itsa good option, but is not an upgrade, is just a different phone with almost same hardware.
Usually I call upgrade to get a better phone, not just a different looking phone.
The G2 thread is quite popular with some good discussion going on, so I thought I'd start a discussion about my next device; the Note 3. It's going to be introduced at an unboxing event on Sept 4th in Berlin, Germany; just ahead of the IFA 2013 the conference the previous two Notes have been introduced from. The specifications are hefty:
5.68″ Full HD Super AMOLED display (1920 x 1080)
Octa-core processor clocked at 1.8GHz (depending on the market)
3GB of RAM
13MP back-facing camera with OIS technology
ARM Mali-T628 MP6 GPU
4G LTE
16GB/32GB/64GB storage options
microSD slot supportable of additional 64GB
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
3,200mAh battery
I'll be using Verizon's Device Payment Program to both upgrade my device early and retain my unlimited data.
Who's in? Who's not? Why or why not?
Note 3 ?

As the OP says...why???
No. Sorry, but a screen/device that large is simply too big. Also, Samsung can pack as much horsepower they want under the hood in terms of specs, but they really should focus on the software optimization to get a truly great phone. That's where performance is lacking.
With that said, no, the S4 will stay for now. Outside of a bigger device and screen, I probably wouldn't notice much difference.

As the guy above me basically states, the phone is crap if the software isn't optimized. In a perfect world I wouldn't resort to modding my device. However, with all the stuff Samsung loads in I need to because I feel a degradation in performance compared to previous devices. Samsung just makes the software and hopes that the high end specs will make for a smooth experience. This just won't cut it anymore. People can complain about the iPhone all they want but with the "meh" specs its packing Apple makes up for it with their excellent software optimizations. Not sure what my next device would be though.

Yeah right. No way it will be 249. The nexus 7 is 249. The nexus 10 will have to probably be same as first version. 399 for 16 GB and 499 for 32 GB. (Maybe you meant euros?) I don't know where your from but I'm talking about dollars. Anyways I think 100 bucks for 16 GB is too much more. But the cheapest variant will most likely be 399.
If there even is one because it hasn't been confirmed its just being assumed there will be a new version. Google could just make a whole new tablet

I've also seen articles saying 299... makes me question the quality of the tablet if it's set at that price.
For Snapdragon 800 I believe it's true, also 3GB RAM too. Now 1080p screen? Are you kidding me or what? Nexus 10 made it fame for its 2560x1600 screen, which is the main point for me buying mine. Also another thing we need to know is who will produce it. I wonder if will be Samsung again or Asus, if Samsung, it's pretty sure we will see an Exynos processor, like the current Nexus 10.
I don't mind paying 399 or 499 if its well built. I'd take that over a 299 device that's neutered for sure. I'm hoping there's a 64gb option.

Pretty sure it's been confirmed to be ASUS.
There's no way the new Nexus 10 is being released for $299. The new Nexus 7 was released for $229, which was $29 more than the original Nexus 7.
I'm guessing $399-$429 for the base model.
The screen will be 2560x1600, since the new Asus Transformer Pad Infinity (TF701T) has a 2560x1600 screen. No sense for Asus to make a lower res screen for a new tablet.
In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the new Nexus 10 is just the TF701T without the keyboard.

So the Nexus 5 came out on Oct 31st but still no word on the Nexus 10 2. Is this coming anytime soon or even exist? I really hope it comes ASAP because I've been waiting about 2 months for this thing. My only other options are the Nexus 10 2012 and the Note 10.1 2014
There are rumors circling about a GE of the G2 that packs 3gb of ram and will likely launch with 4.4 around Dec. What are your thoughts on this rumor? Personally I hope that it is true as it would be awesome to have a phone with the G2's specs running stock android.

It would be a good thing because I think that it will be relatively easy to flash the Google Edition ROMs on existing handsets (like it is the case with the Galaxy S4 and HTC One Google Editons).
But I don't buy the 3GB of RAM rumor...Kit Kat should reduce the memory footprint with the new Linux kernel, the 3GB should not be needed for some time, like 3 years from now. Heck, you can run Windows 8.1 on 2GB RAM (and even on 1GB) with no hiccups whatsoever...why would so much RAM be needed for a handset
Well I really wouldn't mind lg hi if could start with 1.2 to 1.4 the ram free. But I loath aosp now and I came from OG droid and GNex

No way in hell they will up the specs. If they do that would be a **** move towards the ALREADY LG G2 Owners like me and allot of other people.
Mark my words if they do I wont buy another smartphone from them again unless its a Google Edition when/if they do. Hate to be a downer, but I think that isn't sending a positive message out to their brand enthusiast crowd base. I expect the same phone to be released along side with the new nexus because they virtually have the same internals I'm guessing. That makes more sense, Imagine... the waterfall of ROMs we can flash.... I'm addicted
Not sure they would, a G2 with Play OS could dig into Nexus 5 sales, and vice versa. I don't see LG wanting to dig into their own sales like that.

I can see why you'd say that but the nexus is Google's baby not LG's. I don't think LG would mind selling more G2 phones whether it was stock or GE

I'm sure they'd love to dig into N5 sales with a G2 GPE. They probably make more money selling their branded device than making them for google.

That bogus. The while point of a Google edition is SAME PHONE. DIFFERENT software. so either no Google edition or someone at LG or Google is stupid.

Android and windows handle memory management in completely different ways. You cannot compare the RAM in windows to the RAM in Android, apples and hot dogs

Umm wouldn't that mean no KnockOn/Off?

Loosing Knock on and other features would suck.

I'm sure that could be implemented with a mod. Though, I'd gladly sacrifice Knock On for that sweet, sweet stock.

With the button configuration of the g2, I'd put money on the fact that knock on would be implemented in some way, otherwise the phone is hinderd gr8ly! I honesty don't think there will be a GE G2...

The Google edition on the other phones still had some features from Samsung if I recall correctly.

This sounds like a stupid rumor to me. Why would LG want to cannibalize their own sales of the Nexus 5?
It makes absolutely no sense from a business standpoint, so I call bogus on this rumor.

Good move if it happens. Same hardware different markets. Doesn't cost them anything extra to make. Better for economic of scale and more profit.

It does if your selling a lower spec phone for 299- 399 as opposed to 599-699 for a higher spec phone. Its why we have lower end phone and high end phones. Lg has already made its money from the nexus. Wouldn't surprise me if Google is losing money to sell these phones for so cheap. And lg makes profit because Google has to buy them as they are the only retailer.

It still doesn't make sense to me as they will both have the S800 in them. Is someone gonna pay $300-400 more for a slightly better screen and camera?
Seems like a poor business decision to me. Just my opinion.
