Yeah it does. I expect it to have 2x lenses like the Optimus 3D, obviously.
Specs are:
Chip: 1.2GHz dual-core processor (Qualcomm's MSM8660)
Display: 4.3-inch qHD (960 x 540)
Cameras: Rear dual 5 megapixel (like the Optimus)
Has 1080p video playback while 720p for viewing 3D content.
No info yet on RAM, front facing camera spec, battery mAh, date of release, & price.
According to what's flowing aorund on the internet. It's a 1730mah battery. Also a June release.

I'm a little confused as to how that one will go. According to the user everyone seems to be getting info from he says this:
Industry first dual channel 1gig DDRRAM and with active 4gig tri-channel ROM (5gig total Ram with unlimited ROM as SDcard will act as more like a HD drive)

It means that if you use non of your rom space, in essence you have space for up to 5gb of ram, instead of 1. But as you download more and more apps, and the rom size diminishes, so does the 5gbs. It will always have 1gb, but can have up to 5gbs.
Like a page file, I'm guessing.

Valid Point, but I don't think they were expecting 70% first time iPad buyers either.
I'm try to decide between an iPad 2, Xoom, iMac or building myself a Hackintosh...hmmm.

I would get the iMac over the iPad but I'd get a MacBook Pro over the iMac. I just got a MBP, it's my first Mac and it's pretty frickin' amazing. I will never buy a Windows machine again. The Xoom can't hold a candle to the iPad 2 and a hackintosh won't be as nice as owning the real thing.

Owned a MBP since last Summer, and I'm never going back. I sold everything Windows, except for the old desktop that runs my vinyl cutter.
Yeah, you're right. I can get a barely used iPad 1 on craigslist for $300 right now, too...
As far as the hackintosh vs. imac goes...it won't be the same, but it'll be as good as a mac pro and I could buy a cinema display

Yeah, there are several 16GB wifi ipad 1s on craigslist, some only a week or two old, going for $300, which isn't bad...since the new ones don't have a whole lot more, as far as features go...
Hmm, yes...since I'd want the 27" imac...I'd rather build a hackintosh and get a cinema display...even though I already have a 27" viewsonic screen that I use with my MBP.

not to stray too far off topic here but you do realize what has happened on the other side of the planet right? Given Apple was already gong to expect a shortage of some extent on them, once the quake happened they got hit even harder. They get some of the memory components from Japan and have been effected by that situation.
Everyone except apple always announce their phone early, the evo was announced more then a month before releaswd and the galaxy s line up too, and June sounds like a winner since the iPhone always cones out at the same time, Sprint been trying to get back at the iPhone since the instinct came out. And the evo was the first one to get some iPhone users, I got my evo on released date and I had an iPhone too (which now I use it as a company phone) , I definetely getting the evo 3D tho, iOS and android os and I got the best of both words in apps and functionality

I may not have a server, but my Asus Rampage III formula board, with a I7-950 overclocked to 4.1 Ghz with 12GB of Corsair DDR3 ram and a PNY GTX470, with 6 40GB Intel X25 SSD in a Raid0, does just fine as my custom built gaming PC.

I admit, it looks really nice.
But I can't think of a single purpose where it would serve me any better than my phone would. It's only slightly less of a hassle to carry around than a laptop.. and a laptop can do much more.
I honestly don't get the craze.
I'll also admit that it looks really nice but the fact that it's a Samsung product makes me very reluctant to buy one. I wonder how well they will support and update it.
it has nothing to so with quality smh... Tvs don't receive updates and the fact that you didn't have an Android smartphone that received frequent updates nullifies your statement, I'd you were an epic owner your response would be different, my other point is that this thing does everything a smartphone can do basically, there are not that many apps optimized for the tablet. Android only released the sdk for honeycomb like a week or two ago, right now it has potential but that's about it

i dont have a laptop, but i love my ipad. with it having gone out of date just last week, i already am skimming the market for a tablet. i like having an android and ios device, but that samsung tablet looks sooooooo nice.... i'll probably keep my perfectly good ipad around for another couple of years, but still its always fun to look for upgrades...
i use my ipad as a laptop. i do homework on it and stuff. even compiled a powerpoint on it for a science project. but it has many shortcomings that android doesnt have. the problem with android is google mostly only makes apps centered around itself like gmail, google goggles, all search email and youtube stuff. only apple makes the slideshow, word, and all the other fantastic apps i rely on heavily on an almost daily basis. android doesnt have that yet.
also, nobody can say games on android are better than ios. nobody. mirror's edge, which came out with the ipad i think, is still better than any xoom game... and infinity blade has me totally addicted...
for now, apple has it right. the tables may turn soon, but if you are thinking about buying a tablet, i'd go with the ipad 2.
btw i'm not going to upgrade to the 2. cameras are worse than my evo's. why use that? only good thing is dual core. yes, slim and smart cover is nice, but not enough to upgrade when all i baisically use the ipad for is work in and out of school.
its amazing to see how this website advertise lies about android smartphones and tablets time after time,than "corrects it", after the damage is done just because they are apple fans.
I HOPE THAT GOOGLE WILL DROP A MAJOR LAWSUIT ON THEIR HEAD, SO THE LESSON WILL BE LEARNED.

There is no way motorola keeps producing the xoom much longer. It is not a very good tablet, and with tablets like the galaxy tab coming out for half the price, no one will buy it. Also apple just plain embarrassed motorola by including better hardware in a cheaper package in the ipad2. Also, the tegra 2 is a year old chip and is embarrassingly slow compared to the competition. And its not capable of playing high profile h.264, which the original ipad can do.

There is an iPad selling for $499. Most people buy that version. There is only one choice with the Xoom, and its HUNDREDS of dollars more, with a poorer quality display, terrible speaker/power button placement and an SoC that is multiple times less capable.

Someone sounds upset. I think you need to reevaluate how you come across on the internet. I have had no terrible experiences testing out a Xoom. You may in fact find it is better than you expect.

I am upset. I have been waiting about 9 months now for an Android tablet to be worthy of buying, and Motorola completely messed up what was supposed to be the first worthy Android tablet.
I doubt such an obscure site could do any serious damage to Google's reputation.
I think the only thing that was poorly executed was the delay in a wifi model.
32 gigs is just about right on the money for storage this day in age. I wouldn't have been satisfied with a 16 gig, as soon as I hit that mark, I would be pissed - but I am reasonable enough to say that if I fill up 32 gigs I probably need to clean house.
I think it feels great in the hand, where the iPad feels slick/greasy and easier to drop. We are still waiting on a ton of Tegra optimization to pick stuff up, some say the recent update was a huge performance boost (25% higher quadrants).
Honestly, where Android is right now in the tablet market - I don't think the things you bear issue with will matter in the next year or so.
I do kind of have an issue with the charger...it feels a little on the weak side, and doesn't seem to have the best build quality...but I can deal since everything else seems to be right up my ally.

Here are my issues:
*Priced WAY too high.
*Tegra 2 INCAPABLE at a hardware level of playing videos that our Epic's can crank out.
*Pretty mediocre screen compared to the iPad, iPad2, Nook Color, Galaxy Tab 7"
*Terrible placement of speakers (sound projected away from you)
*Terrible placement of power button
*Waste of money to include an 8mp camera
*Tegra 2 GPU not even in same league as PowerVr SGX543mp2
First of all BGR got the news from Digitimes...second of all as stated its more motorola then google..and third of all...you can't just sue the press like that...caue there is a thing called "Freedom of press"..

Review from engadget
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/20/t-mobile-g2x-review/
While most of the hardware in the G2x hits the spot, we're a little underwhelmed with the display. The 4-inch WVGA (800 x 480) IPS panel looks good on paper but misses the mark when compared to the competition. Sure, the colors are rich and the viewing angles are wide, but the LCD washes out more than expected in direct sunlight and suffers from a significant amount of backlight leaking out from the edges of the screen, resulting in visible "stains" on solid, dark-colored content.

It's getting rave reviews, the only complaints I have read are the light leak and the Euro version comes with a hdmi cord and the us version doesn't. Other than those two complaints this phone seems to be a winner.
Oh damn, I'm still up in the air between this one and the SGSII. Looks like Sammy's gonna win in the display dept. This is pretty disappointing to see; especially since we know LG makes the screens for the iphones. SMH.
Don't see much of an upgrade from my vibrant. Now if it had a 4. 3" screen, I would run and get one today I hope we get phone with a screen that big soon.

People should really wait this out. The Vibrant is more than good enough for now, why rush and get the newest flawed product.
I've had 3 phones in the past 2 months, lost a mt4g over the weekend, got a gs4g on Sat, returned it today got the g2x and other than missing the optical mouse on the mt4g, for what's out there currently this phone is by far my favorite....but really how come phones are now lacking camera hw buttons and notification LEDs, that has been irking me all week, and I would take a vibrant over a gs4g because of the internal storage
im trying to wait for the galaxy 2 but i doubt i will be able to wait and find my self getting the g2x
Played around with it today at the downtown Seattle TMO store, and the screen was a major letdown for me. I went wanting to upgrade. The kicker was when I asked if I got the upgrade they said I had 3 months before my 1 year for discount to upgrade. Grrr. Wonder if the HTC Sensation will be out by then, bigger screen, faster processor, etc.

I wouldn't count on saying that SGSII would have a not-working GPS..
i'm sure Samsung learned from their mistake..

They can't re-call millions of sold products...

Indeed. At times it seems some people buy phones here just for the sake of having a "new" one. Why change when you've a device that works just like you want to? Better specs aint everything, looks can be deceiving.

You're right but everytime I compare this with my Olde Cliq, I piss off .Except for the not too good speed, everything works nicely and its GPS just simply blow Vibrant one out of the water (locks within 5 seconds no matter what roms I put on it Eclair, Froyo or Gingerbread)
So the LG G2X runs the Tegra Duel Core, the HTC Sensation will be running their Scorpion duel core chip, and the Galaxy S2 will be running what processor?
I remember seeing something about the HTC duel core not being as good as the Tegra 2's? how about the Galaxy S2 duel core?
I know its a lot to ask, just wondering if anyone remembers seeing that HTC chip was not as good as the Tegra or what the Samsung will have.
I think it will be good to compare this as it seems like these are the 3 phones many of us are trying to decide on/wait for
Got my g2x on Tuesday, and rooted it last night, the screen is a let down my is minor compared to some overall love it, someone just finished recovery and cm7 or gingerbread STABLE real soon.. the only Sammy products I will buy here forward our their TVs

Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
Yes ! It is an amazing tablet and the first one born with Android Jelly Bean 4.1. It has a really powerful processor (NVidia Tegra 3 Quad Core (x4) 1.3GHz.). The size is really awesome, you can hold it fine with one hand. It is really smooth and fast. Worth to buy
It's absolutely worth it, get it right now. This device really is great, you've waited too long already.

You really cannot go wrong with the price. I mean 250$ is dirt cheap. Especially for a Tegra 3 and 1GB of RAM. Really enjoying mine so far and I have an iPhone 4S and new iPad as well. Android has a special place in my heart for tinkering and this tablet is totally fulfilling that niche .

Does it justify the $314 pricetag? I hope so. It's hard to find in retail stores these days.
Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX

Why 314? It is 250$ for 16GB and 199$ for 8GB. You mean 314 because you would buy it from google and there is taxes + 20$ for shipping?

He's in AUD instead of US currency for one thing but I dunno the conversion rate

Totally worth it, I have a feeling development has only just started I have never owned a nexus device previous to this
It has replaced my phone for everything but calls and texts, other than when I don't have it of course
I think the size is perfect as the ipad IMO is too big and heavy, 7 inch is perfect size
I bought mine on release weekend at jbhifi for $317, best choice
Buy it from a store so if you have problems, you can take it back like I did.

Although the conversion rate is similar, when its in Australia the taxes are waay higher and everything costs more.
And the tegra 3 processor has so called 12 core GPU , though I never knew what's it frequency speed, 1.3 Ghz ?

416mhz (but a lot of custom kernels overclock to 520)
OP: we can't really answer that (at least, not without information on your preferences). You should youtube the n7 in action and see if it seems to fit your needs.
The nexus 7 is very worth it. Your might have to return it a couple times if it has the defects like screen lift, light bleed, etc.
I doubt the iPad mini will be around 300 dollars, as the ipod touch costs 300 and is less than half the size.
If i were you, I would buy it!
I bought one yesterday and it's well worth it. Mine was built in August and doesn't seem to have any screen or multi-touch problems that others do.
Tapatalk made me send this.
I've had mine for a while and even with a little screen lift on the left hand side, I'd buy it all over again.
If you have the option, purchase an extended warranty that covers screen damage. That extra insurrance never hurt.
I'd buy that for any tab I'd purchase.
Buy it...you won't regret it. Your significant other may though. I think my girl is going to break mine if I don't put it down. Lolzzz

This tablet is absolutely awesome! It's even more awesome if you use the Franco kernel and Paranoid Android! BUY IT! I'm really happy with my device! :good:
I got the 16gb at release and the 32 as soon as it was out and i haven't gone a day without it since. Get one.

All you have to do is compare its price, processor and memory with other tablets out there and you will find your answer

Sadly, I had to return it today.
I loved it with all my heart but I barely used it and that didn't justify $426.
Maybe i'll try again next year.

Applied for a return too. Loved the design and the hardware, but in actual use it does not justify the price tag.
Maybe I would have kept it if it was like $299, but converted to US dollars I paid around $500 for the 16GB in my current country. Not worth it by a longshot.
I returned mine. To HTC to fix the buttons and the light bleed issues. I was able to get the the 32GB version for 399 with 429 dollar price match at best buy from amazon, and 30 dollars worth of best buy certificates. I absolutely love the tablet, but if HTC doesn't fix the buttons and screen, I'll likely get a refund on it.
Your Loss!
I could see that. I got it for 250 and really enjoy it but don't think it is worth more than 350.

I wish I bought it while I had the money
I wanted to buy one but I ****ed up the notebook and I needed to replace it. Galaxy tab 2 for another year.

Sold because you barely use it or you think it's not worth it?

I barely used it so not using it wasn't worth paying that much
Bought and returned 3x looking for one with reasonable buttons and an acceptable amount of light bleed. To no avail. #3 is also going back, this time for good, until HTC gets some of these quality control issues in check.
It's a shame, because I really want to love this tablet. And I already sold my Nexus 7...

Yes, better battery, but I'm not so sure jb and/or apps running with jb haven't lowered it (iPad 3 ios8.1.1). I borrowed this iPad to try it since N9 quality is still a crap shoot. I love the display size and clarity. That's it. But, since having it for over a week, I scarcely pick up my N7 FHD (I hate the buttons on N7 so recessed buttons on N9 won't do--even using soft buttons). This iPad screen is much easier for me to read. JB was even simpler than with Nexus, but still not what I want. Personally, I think the N9 is about $80. overpriced, but I'll probably end up trying one ($50. off) before long.

My iPad's sit piled up with my iPhone 6 on top. I havent used them in about 2 months.. Don't have my nexus 9 or 6 yet so I can't actually compare. But I am not 75 and don't need to be in a walled garden of sorts (assisted living environment).. IOS is good for non technical people that don't want to really think. I just prefer the customization and unlock ability of android. Don't get me wrong I always stay current with both IOS & Android as they both make strides every OS revision.

I'm sure google will be okay. :good:
I got the N9 to replace my paperweight N7 first gen that I managed to hard bricked doing a factory reset, and the bootloader is borked. Anyway, before the N9, I used my MBP 15" but now N9 travels with me around my house perimeter.

I didn't want to play the lottery with Best Buy, so I sent mine back to HTC with specific instructions on what needed fixing. If they ship it back to me and it's not to my liking, I'll get a refund from Best Buy. I can live without the tablet for 7-10 days, and if they fix it, awesome.

Actually, good idea. If you wouldn't mind (and remember to) could you PM me when you get your tablet back. I'd be interested to know if they are able/willing to take care of the tablet's quality issues using this method.
