First Nexus 3 Leak - Possibly made by HTC and headed to Sprint

http://www.redmondpie.com/nexus-3-spotted-in-the-wild-leaked-photo/
Looks pretty iPhone 3ish, but no buttons is pretty sweet looking and would make sense because 2.4/Ice Cream is supposed to smash all of the Androids together/into one OS, right?

Oh decisions, decisions. Looks pretty sick. And if it is made by HTC, I might have to save up for this one.

Getting this for sure. Will probably come out in Dec - Jan though. Long wait.

Good... My upgrade should be here when that rolls around.

Ill be using my upgrade for the 3d, but I've wanted to try the nexus line for a while. If this has the external memory, I'll pay full retail for it.

In some ways, I'm glad my upgrade isn't until January....

I wouldn't look into the design too much either. It's way too early and is probably just a test device they quickly put together to test/develop on honeycombs new form factor.

as the other nexus...
most likely in January/February time frame

Sweet, it'll be for Sprint as well. My upgrade is in April 2012 so I'll wait till Nexus 3 comes out so I can get that. Tegra 3 quad core Ice Cream Sandwich. Going to be awesome.

how do you know it's going to be on sprint? the first nexus never came. but yes, it would be smart of google to never use samsung again for the nexus line.
ill still be waiting on the gs2 for my next upgrade.

"Radio wise the device is apparently tooled up for HSPA+ and Sprint CDMA which could point to an earlier Sprint release than the 6 month wait endured for the Nexus S."
i agree.. no samsung for nexus...
but then you say .. you want the GS2...

Sprint did announce a Nexus One. They just canceled it. Plus Sprint and Google now share what is probably the tightest cooperation out of any carrier so a Sprint Nexus 3 on launch day is very likely now.

*shifts awkwardly*
Oh,uh, it's the pleats ... the pleats in the pants.

People like to stick to HTC but HTC has had a lot of problems too. I own a N1 and the touch screen sucks, build quality looks nice on the outside but almost always has issues like light bleeding (EVO), and they are known to stick with old chipsets (like slightly updating the same 2008 Scorpion core for their dual cores).
I personally would like to see a Moto Nexus. They do a good job with hardware.

Im sure its just a prototype but that is one ugly phone. I wouldnt buy it off looks already....

Yeah, I'm usually not a big fan of chrome / silver anything ... as a test device I wouldn't be surprised to see it change. Maybe if we complain enough we can ensure a chrome edging doesn't make the final cut.
I will definitely be sitting on my Evo, waiting and waiting and waiting.
edit: awww, if it is fake ... pooh. still going to hold out for some nexus news down the line

I can't get the evo 3D anyways just used my girl's upgrade and she got the nexus s; my upgrade isn't until August so I'm thinking galaxy s 2 maybe. She'd kill me if I spent 599 on a phone when my upgrade is a few months away lol. You guys think by August sprint will launch another device? I'm not into the whole design and 3D gimmick stuff anyways.

Sweet! I would be stoked if the nexus 3 is made by HTC. The nexus s is great and all but Samsung's continuing radio issues make their phones less desirable to own. I'll take a little light leak over a shotty radio any day. May have to sell my 3d for this one.

Hmm, even with the news of the Atrix-like device coming to Sprint I have even less reason to just jump on a phone. For a second there I was gonna pull the trigger on the NS but I'm glad I didn't. I had seen word of that possibly dropping mid summer, but I'm pretty sure that was just rumor. That GS2 - should it come through - is a tempting one. Haven't heard anything on possible / rumored date of landing, but I haven't done a good job of keeping up with everything, either.
I'm just gonna play the waiting game. Something I'm usually not good with, but I've done well enough with putting off a tablet purchase. And totally agree on the Evo 3D - not sure how I feel about it. Especially if some other more than capable device comes to Sprint.

[Poll] How many people are getting evo 3D's

Do not submit an answer if you have already answered in another forum in which i have posted. Just curious about the numbers

Seriously, WTF is up with all the 3D crap lately? It all just makes my head hurt...

Not upgrading because there is no physical keyboard.

Not upgrading because I don't have an upgrade or the money and I also think that the Galaxy S II phones will be out in August or September.

I don't think I would get much benefit from 3D technology since I only have two eyes.

No

Im jumping ship, cuz there was an upgrade available on another line, and since i am the account holder, i used it for myself! lol. I'll still be back here though - 3 other lines on my account have epics...
3D may be stupid, but i've heard that atleast 3d movies actually look pretty good. besides that, it's a beast of a phone.

No.

Not me. I almost got an Evo on release until the Epic was announced so I waited for that. If I was going to upgrade now, I'd wait for the GS2 but I'm not going to bother with that either. I'll wait until my contract is up or a real gamechanging phone hits the market.

Besides, I feel the Galaxy S2 blows away the EVO 3D
Even then, lack of HW KB makes is a no go for me

Probably not. More interested in Within and Photon 4G. Might even wait until the round of phones after that to jump ship. I do have a year left in my contract after all. The Epic has been good to me.

Nope. No keyboard.

I can wait a month for a SG2 unless a better nexus is coming out soon. EVO3d just dosnt seem all that great to me when stacked up against the other summer/fall releases

Waiting for the GS2.

Im not. Ota for evo3d still didn't unlock the bootloader

Who's NOT getting the Epic 4G Touch?

I know I'm not. Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me. Its already September and Gingerbread came out last December on a Samsung phone nonetheless, and we're still on software that's almost a year and a half old with no source code or drivers in sight. We can't even create our own up to date roms, and Samsung is unreliable when it comes to updates. Our phone possibly has the worst development community thanks to Samsung slacking on updates,drivers, and source code. I will never go through this again. Goodbye Samsung forever. Its either a Nexus phone, iPhone or Windows Phone for me from now on, and none by Samsung.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I'm strongly considering it...I certainly like the specs
But in all probability I'm going to jump ship to the iPhone next month. Between the last two phones I've owned (Epic and Palm Pre), I'm getting pretty damn sick of manufacturers who can't develop worth a spit.

No Epic Touch for me...
Too much money since i only get 75 dollars off...
Plus im waiting for Nexus to come to sprint by january or the next HTC device.
I like my epic still and am done with samsung unless its the nexus..
Ill be here still

what's the difference between this and the nexus s 4g?

Samsung is getting better I think w/ their newer phones, have way better screens than everyone except LG (which could go either way), and better specs. I'm not getting it though, if I could I would.

I love the specs and hardware on the Epic, but I need a phone with development behind it. I love what our devs have been able to do with what they have, but I am going to wait a month til after a phone is out to see how it is going before I jump in.

I got the epic in October and it was an awesome. Then after waiting for updates 6 months after everybody got there's on other phones I learned my lesson and now waiting for gingerbread official leak sucks. I want the next nexus phone only because it a true Google phone without the bloatware and seems to get its updates quicker than others. I thought about the epic touch but will hold off for now plus its another dual core phone which i dont think will be put to good use till more dual core phones come out.

this is my first Samsung phone... and last. most likely jumping to the iphone later this year. i love android and the specs of our current epic4g is awesome but theres no real development for this.

I'm not thrilled about selling out to Apple either but, let's be honest, Samsung's a waste of time. Google is another story...may be worth holding out until the Prime rather than be subsumed by the Apple dark lord.

Can't get it...
Still have another year and retail is too expensive

Remember buy a phone for what it is not what its gonna get and how fast. Always gonna be something better next month or so. I just refuse to buy any apple products anymore.

Definitely i would go for the Prime if you didn't like the epics updates ... you won't be disappointed on a nexus device ... and don't even talk about the dev community behind nexus devices ...

If I ever buy another Android phone, it'll have to be a nexus device or something I know has the ability to load AOSP on it myself. Between manufacturer bloat and carrier bloat I'm done with all the crap...

I still like my EPIC .... I'd like my next phone to have a physical keyboard .... but I might get this

Just get it at Best Buy when it releases. Best Buy takes $75 upgrades and still lowers it to 199.99. Every single time I upgrade there it ends up 199.99.

What are you waiting to upgrade for?

Are you happy with your phone still? Are you waiting for possibly a new LTE phone in 2012? Or just waiting on your upgrade?
Just curious to see what others thinking about their phone. My phone still works great, but being the geek I am. I'm itching for something new. The E4GT looks like a sweet phone, and supposedly there's a fix for the LOS that developers got their hands on.

Waiting for something that would be a real upgrade, so far I've been very happy with my evo, thanks to the devs here. Until sprint releases a LTE device that's killer spec wise, & has some decent development going on, I'll stay with my OG. I've had my evo since it came out, and its totally because the devs here keep my evo fresh & interesting.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

Yeah my EVO is running strong still, and with the development of ICS. Maybe that'll hold me over? I can't say that if I saw another great deal on an ET4G that I won't pass it up lol. Just have to wait and see.... I wish we had an idea of phones for 2012 and estimates on release dates.

They already said the the first LTE phones wouldn't be out until around june / july. Though they will begin the towers in early 2012.

1. waiting for sense 2.1 = Got it
2. waiting for sense 3.0 = Got it
3. waiting for sense 3.5 = Got it
I guess I'm waiting for my contract to be up. Then I will consider something new, but I see no need right now for what I use the phone for. The next best thing isn't always the best IMO...

My upgrade isn't until August 2012. There should be a bunch of new phones released between now and then. The Galaxy Nexus and HTC Edge or other new quad core phones look intriguing, Iphone 5 (probably not I like the personalization options Android has). As long as we get an ICS rom it will feel like we're running the latest phone though, at least for now.

my upgrade isn't until March, so I'm sure a lot of new phones will be out by then. But if I had to pick right now, I'd either get the GS2 or leave Sprint for the Galaxy Nexus

i cant decideeeee, i dont know if i should get iphone or wait for early 2012 to upgrade
i do want GN not sure if sprint will take their time like they did with Nexus S
for now will keep the EVO going since we have great Devs... and recently swtiched prl to verizon and its working great/better so not sure why switch anyway
time will tell

My contract won't expire for about a year and my evo is still running nicely.

I would like another htc phone. Quad core, lots of internal storage and 64 gb card compatible(hopefully ). Some phones due out next year look pretty nice
We're comin from a pure power source.

I need to switch to verizon because I work in places where sprint's 3g service is junk, so as soon as the nexus is released, i'm gone.

An LTE phone (due next year). A quad core phone. Something with just a little more internal storage.

I am happy with the photon as an upgrade. But rom dev is not as vast as the evo. Wife still has hers though so I get play both fields.
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App

Honestly, it's going to take an awful lot for me to upgrade. There isn't really anything I want to do with a phone that I can't already do with my Evo.
Hardware Acceleration is going to make ICS run really well (even on older hardware), and I expect that the specs in the Evo will allow it to continue on just like a modern phone. Bluetooth, front-facing camera, etc. will continue to make it a contender.
I will be sticking with mine (not counting an accident) for at least another generation until Nexus Next is available, and then consider based on hardware and Android J+.

I would maybe go for that Nexus S (sexy thang). However, there aren't any phones offering me my Death Ray flashlight and kickstand, so...the Evo stays.
I do have 2 bright spots on my screen though, which is annoying.

Im due for upgrade on 2 evos around February. The only thing I really like is the samsung s2..
That phone will probably be 99 but the time end of Feb comes around..
Who knows though, I may just hang tight without a contract..

Waiting for my contract to end. Hopefully network will be working better by then.

More Google Nexus'

Always be happy with what you have. The way this tech moves you can't keep saying "I'll hold out" because every 4 months something newer will come out, guaranteed.
Just like right now. Will I buy a Galaxy S3, probably. But I want to wait till they show what the US versions will have to make my final decision. Will it suck that Samsung will take forever for JB on that phone, yes it will. But I think the 6 months I have with that phone will out weigh holding on to my N1. Consider yourself lucky you had more time with that phone than I will with with S3 by the time something newer comes out.

Agreed
Actually I am thrilled with the One S. Snapdragon S4, Beautiful screen, fast, smooth, 5100 Quadrants, and best of all solid touch screen and 10 to 18mb read speeds. Rooted and ready to flash first rom--
Still miss N1--but sold--

Too bad iPhone brought Sprints funds down and they are behind the technology.. I don't know why Sprint had to get the expensive iPhone. Now because of that we don't have the HTC One series -.- . Once again Apple had to screw up. If only the damn Apple beggars stopped begging Sprint to get the iPhone 4S we would still be in the top. Sprint was one of the few carriers that got 4G first. Now there's only like very little phones and most are outdated. I feel that the evo LTE will epicly fail. No removable battery, which is a big deal when your running a Dual core 1.5ghz phone with 4G and LTE . And HD sounds. The 200 extra mah may be better than the 1800mah battery , but then again, it doesn't really matter.

I worrried about no removable battery and no sd slot--but, I don't think it will be an issue. Time will tell. Internal sd gives amazing read/write speeds.
