Nexus 2

Okay, so I've had my Nexus one for a while now, and I was wondering what they could possibly do to the nexus 2 that would make it even better. I'm thinking probably a faster processor, and more ram, but what else comes to mind?

would love to see a FM Trans to like "broadcast" to the radio....Like those transmitters for mp3 players....Would be siiiick to have pandora or something playing over car radio via my phone

Don't they have something that does that already?

better use of the snapdragon processor, but that's software related... I would like it to be more durable such as made from a single block of aluminium. Also a powerful graphics chip.

The HTC Legend is a sexy beast lol. I'd like to get my hands on one if it goes GSM.
Yeah, a more powerful graphics chip would be awesome, I just can't wait til the big developers start moving towards android so we can have some of the awesome games and apps the iPhone has.

I'm guessing you don't know that the HD2 is

Maybe they'd include a secondary camera, FM and a coffee maker

I second this. God that thing is amazing. But it won't look right until the Supersonic comes out. THEN a decent Rom will be possible in my eyes.
But with Windows Phone 7 I can imagine the devs are busy porting that to it right now.

Google HTC Scorpion......should be gsm of exactly what your dreaming of

Not that I could care less... but I would really love for the N2 to have a true multi-touch screen to shut that debate down... 1GB of RAM, 4GB internal ROM, 4" screen, XVGA LCD or SuperAMOLED... I don't like AMOLED for outdoor use. 10MP camera, with xenon flash... and of course Android 3.1!

For less than $500 right?

I will be keeping my Nexus for 2 or more years, whatever comes around the corner - i'll just port it over to the Nexus.. since the N1 is like the G1 in terms of development and popularity, I should be ok for a while..
(this is really what I'm just telling myself.. I dont want my precious Nexus to become.. not worth the time of day anymore...)
Why does technology have to advance so fast!! =(

front facing camera for video chat, a high quality speaker-phone, a kickstand with a projected laser keyboard? an hd projector component

hardware keyboard

x
I myself am sick of the having to chase technology.... I'm done for a bit, my n1 will sufficient for a year, I think thats a good time to get a new phone, once every year...
N1 just needs adobe flash and apps to sd and ill be happy as a cucumber....

Video recording capability @ 24 frames per second (constant!) with DECENT audio quality ... like the Milestone. Why have a 480x720 video resolution when the video is laggy and audio is utter crap? Also a flash option on the video recording would also be good - again, just like the Milestone.
Finally, make FM radio work and you have the perfect device.

the 1ghz processor is enough for me. the current amount of ram is enough- maybe a tad bump is cool.
get rid of the amoled display, 4-4.3 inch display. no trackball. sleep/wake from a hardware button like g1/mytouch. being able to shoot hd video.
other than that... having the nexus one has finally made me not eager to look/have the next best cellular device. this n1 almost kicks my netbooks ass

Samsung Galaxy S2 Specs (2GHz, 1GB RAM, etc.)

Source: http://www.redmondpie.com/samsung-galaxy-s2-specs-will-blow-your-brains-out/
The current generation of smartphones – with their 1GHz processors and 512MB of RAM – are already very impressive at what they can do. But rumored specifications (along with a photo) are spreading of the next generation of Samsung’s Galaxy S smartphone – the Galaxy S2 – and its specs will. freaking. blow. your. head. off.

It is supposedly scheduled for release sometime in early 2011 and will supposedly have the following specifications:
-A 2GHz Processor. Possibly the next-generation version of Samsung’s Hummingbird CPU.
-1GB RAM along with 4GB of ROM. This is, as with the CPU, twice the magnitude of current-gen hardware.
-32GB built-in flash memory. MicroSD card slot expandable to 32GB making the Galaxy S2 able to hold 64GB of data.
-8 megapixel camera with full HD (1920×1080) video recording. Current-gen smartphones record video at 720p (1280×720).
-A 4.3” 1280×720 Super AMOLED display
-GPS, Bluetooth 3.0, b/g/n Wi-Fi, accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity / ambient light sensors.
-Run on Android 3.0 “Gingerbread”
While all these specifications are well and sweet, I really, honestly believe smartphone manufacturers, especially of the Android variety, should focus on increasing battery life by optimizing hardware + software instead of just blindly increasing clock speeds and doubling RAM. My HTC Desire still doesn’t last more than 15-16 hours whereas Taimur’s iPhone 4 blows past the 24 hour category without even going below 50%.
And yes, these specs are rumored. But if HTC and Motorola’s intentions of releasing 2GHz smartphones are anything to go by, they aren’t unbelievable.

What do you guys think the battery quality will be?

Jesus, its only 8 threads under this
http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817358

Doubting this, especially if scheduled for early 2011.
Specs looks two gen ahead of current, but if for real, I like it...well, except for the 4.3in screen.

I fail. Delete thread please.

I don't care until they actually give me froyo.

I don't know it sounds more like someones dreams/wish someone had more then a matter of fact...can anyone confirm that Samsung will be releasing Galaxy S2 at all?

they do love dangling the proverbial carrot in front of us don't they?
seriously though, why would you ever need dual core phones? I understand it's the next logical step, but I don't plan on bit torrenting HD porn from my phone. The original Galaxy still seems plenty new and amazing enough for me to not care about another phone for at least a year.

Someone posted this elsewhere yesterday and those were my exact thoughts on it. I mean I get it but is that something necessary (if it were actually true) for the near future? We haven't even hit 6 months with this beast yet.

You can't never have too much speed on a phone. Flash contents need quite a bit of CPU and GPU power, emulators will benefit from this, Browsing Speed, Multitasking, etc.
It can't hurt to have the phone boot up faster either.

OMG this again....dud research its beeen posted few down from you......
its fake this rumor started July 5 and people are just blogging...ect of late for attention or they have been living under a rock last few months
Also you would think with these guys bringing up such an old rumor/news they would have something else to go on other than repeating what already been said almost 4 months prior.
You guys really think specs for a new galaxy S would "leak" just few weeks after its predecessor's release...just my opinion

I'd have to agree with the quote in the op though. Instead of doubling the specs, phone manufacturers should work on increasing battery life. The iphone doesn't have ridiculous specs but still manages to do nearly everything android phones do and do it smoother while still lasting a full day.
I don't really need my phone to do much more than it currently does. It matches the iphone in 3d smoothness which is great.. Now I just need it to open and close apps smoother and last a full day. The g2 does it with less ghz, so it should be possible with the vibrants current 1ghz processor.

G2 does it with less mhz/ghz is because it is on a 45 nm fabrication vs. vibrant's 65 nm fabrication. The smaller the more efficient.

The Hummingbird is 45nm also
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=cpu&id=a10010&c=samsung_s5pc110
CPU probably handles 800mhz at a really low voltages and found it to be the sweet spot that also conserves battery life
And to answer why its faster well maybe its designed better, such as better cache and maybe some type of "hyper threading" technique....that would explain the extra pipelines on the scorpion ...raw speed isn't always everything
BTW this is all just a guess so dont hold me to this..i know PC's not so much this

confused on gpu statistics..

Hello dear atrix 4g community!
I am seriously thinking of purchasing this device ,but the yesterday's ipad gpu perfomance I was baffled..
so I would really appreciate some answers on tech info before I make a purchase..
tegra 2 includes a single core gpu while ,from what I read sgx543 is around 50% faster than tegra 2 per CORE! 2 cores included in said product..don't get me wrong..atrix is already plenty..no...more than plenty fast, but paying all that money for a device outspecced by 200% ,a week after release,just does not sit well with me..so my question is....are those numbers I hear/read real,and thus should wait for a tegra 3 phone??especially considering the locked bootloader which equals NO rom support other than motorola's (rotflmfao) ...please share your knowledge!thanks in advance..
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

I may be wrong, but the Tegra 2 has 8 gpu cores, while the Ipad 2s has 16...
Should be at least 150% better

Well a single core SGX540 keeps up with the 8 core ULV GeForce in the Tegra 2, and the SGX543 even in single core form outperforms the 540 by a wide shot so...

Don't be this guy:

anyway,back to serious so what I had read so far was true..I guess I will wait...wow.it really must be weird though...I believe that actually all ces 2011 were outpaced only a few days after the event ended..what must be even worse is the adreno 220...what a joke, 400% less fillrate per CORE vs the competition, yawza..anyway,motorola has a history of bringing ti powered androids, I will wait for one of them I guess or wait to see how tegra 3 will do..

Lol, just putting this out there. If you try to wait for technology to stop evolving, you're screwed. Don't not buy one product because of something coming down th line. The Ipdad 2 will suck in august compared to kal el. The adreno 220 will suck compared to adreno 300.
You have to realize most modern tech has a shelf-life of maybe 3 months. The only exception ever was the HTC evo, which is still a good phone due to it being so far ahead of it's time.

I understand this well my friend..I am not looking for miracles...just this time around, t2 phones got outpaced in pretty much a week's time...so that has to be factored in,when you are paying this type of budget..am I right?I am not looking for a perfect phone,but not one left two generations behind either,by the time of purchase (again..I am not saying that t2 is slow..I know better than that )

Text says picture might be wrong. Picture is clearly wrong bcuz there are softbuttons. I doubt ICS phones will come with softbuttons

For those to lazy to google it
799chf = $860 = 660€

lol, this is actually a pretty big computer shop here in switzerland. I buy a lot of stuff there. The specs are not to be taken serious and they are subject to change. I guess they just put it up there because they are pretty sure that there will be a SGS III.

Think about the battery life if those were the specs..

Techradar's view on the SGS3
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-to-be-powered-by-2ghz-dual-core-chip-1044595

It doesn't matter if the SGSIII was the 2nd coming of Christ, if there's one thing I've learned from owning a Desire, SGS, and now the SGSII - is that my next phone will definitely be a Nexus device.

Hahaha, great...I guess we can compare the ''mystical" waiting for something like GB 2.3.4,ICS is a religious waiting for some...also the ranting over phones and OS's is sometimes more fun to watch than the religious ranting
As for the S3 specs, two cents:
- we're all gonna have the option to get a Sammy official gear a lead acid carry on bag to get a decent battery life. AOS is huge on 2 [email protected] GHz, just imagine on a quad [email protected] 2.0.....
- who the hell needs a quad core? multicores were developed with performance in mind, BUT also in order to SAVE power...exactly the opposite behavior on SGS2...WTF? they can't optimize the GB for two cores, what's next: the phone that makes the party as a grill replacement device?
PS. I forgot, this is a "some devs" directed question: WITH 4 CORES, 3 SECS WAKE-UP LAG SHOULD BE REGARDED AS ACCEPTABLE, RIGHT?

LG's new ICS UI is awesome especially how the designed it. The lock screen it really good. The smoothness of the launcher is amazing. Also on my LG Spectrum there is a option to disable the bloat in apps, so I figure the LG Mach is the same way. I'm jealous of the keyboard and cpu of S4 Pro. I have no keyboard and S3 .. Also yes the launcher does go landscape it doesn't show that in the photos for what reason I'm not sure

Yeah I got to try LG's ICS finally and I really liked it, my parents got the LG Lucid on Verizon. It convinced me to go with the Optimus G when I upgrade, I'll definitely trade the keyboard for a Quad Core and 13mp camera lol. I do like that it is a 5 row keyboard tho, if I could trade my Shift straight up and not sign a contract I would so do it tho

Yeah LG's ICS is really really good. I try to convince many but hardly any believe me to bad rep with LG. Personally I LOVE my phone. Only downside to mine is it tends to over heat a lil and it has bad battery life. I'm upgrading to the LG Spectrum 2 in March so it should have 0 problems ... The LG Spectrum 2 has wireless charging >_< I can't wait.. I'm super excited to see it in my hands! Also LG Lucid was my second choice when I went to Verizon but LG Spectrum has bigger screen and 1.5ghz dual core and we have nearly stable CM9 now.. CM10 is booted now with working data and all so it should be out in a week or so.. .. I just wanted to post this thread to inform people that want a keyboard phone again but want a lot of speed. I believe this phone is super fast and competes with the Motorola one on Sprint

The Lucid is my parents first smartphones. My dad used 51% of their data in the first three days lol. But yeah it was super smooth and I like the design of their phones too. LG really stepped their game up in the last year. The original Optimus sucked, it came out about the same time as the Shift. I played with it and then the Shift blew me away lol. But it was the same thing playing with the LG Lucid. It blew the Shift away, I don't know the specs on it, but they said it was the free phone so it can't be too much more than the Shift, the screen was the same size. But it was so much faster and smoother I was amazed after a few mins.

I had the Optimus S for a small time.. It was surprisingly fast.. It ran GTA III but lagged.. It has the best signal hands down. HTC Hero sucked with signal and so did evo shift. The Optimus S is really good with signal.. I'm assuming that's why it's still selling .. LG's signals are best. My LG Spectrum beats Galaxy Nexus's signal. So the LG Mach should do good in that area.
