If you had any doubts on Samsung developing the next Nexus phone, this should be an official confirmation. UAProf of GT-I9250 aka Nexus Prime has been listed on Samsung Mobile’s site. Apart from the name, the profile listing also claims the screen resolution to be WVGA (800×480) . However, previous rumors have suggested Nexus Prime to have an HD resolution display.
Nexus Prime will be the first device to run Android’s Ice Cream Sandwich OS and feature Bluetooth 3.0, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n amongst other things.

I would somewhat assume the screen to be on par with the Charge. That's seems too new for them to be jumping ship to a newer screen technology. The original AMOLED soldiered on for nearly 2 years.

Yeah, if that's the actual screen resolution, I'm a bit disappointed. I've read that Samsung may have, in fact, purposely falsified this information in anticipation of it getting out to the public. Similar to what HTC does...
800x480 just doesn't cut it anymore!

Err, 1x1 ratio?

Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305) or Droid DNA?

I could not ordered the damn Nexus 4...so was lurking around for alternative. Today I saw new Droid DNA. It seems like a good alternative matching up everything Nexus 4 can do but has more like 440 ppi or 1080 x 1920 resolution, wifi 5ghz, and support LTE and GSM unlocked. The resolution alone kick Nexus 4, S3 LTE i9305 and iphone 5 butt already...so now I have a dilema
When comparing the Nexus 4 to DNA & S3 LTE (i9305), it seems to have true google experience only over DNA and nothing much else. All 3 are quadcore and 2GB ram.

Even though they seem to have same hardware, somehow DNA outperform Nexus 4 on benchmark...not sure why

So now, I'm thinking if I can't get Nexus 4 by end of Nov, I'm going to grab a Droid DNA instead since it is gsm unlocked. What do you guys think?

I think it might be down to the thermal throttling that everyone is posting about, wait for some Kernel development and i believe the N4 will start to hit it's stride.

I am convinced that it all has to do completely with the Linux kernel they're using. It needed a couple more weeks of development and unfortunately, it wasn't ready for prime time but I am sure that the XDA community will make it kick the competition's ass within 3-4 weeks of steady development.
As always, it's all about what you want, want the AOSP experience along with a MASSIVE (understatement of the year) development community with great, quality hardware?
I don't need to bother selling you on the Galaxy S III, it's a great phone.
or do you want the DROID DNA which will be locked down, much more expensive but in return, you get the much higher resolution screen.
You need to ask yourself, do the pros of the DROID's screen outweigh the additional $300-400 cost? For me, not at all. It's new tech and it's never good to be an early adopter with HTC (as I learned with the HTC Thunderbolt). Not to mention we've hit the point where these phones are often more powerful than most PCs and next year's focus will be 1080P displays along with battery tech meaning the next Nexus will probably be everything you want plus more.

Air Command compatible on 10.1 ?

Will the Air Command from Note 10.1 2014 edition be compatible with note 10.1 ?
Will we get an update from Samsung to get the feature ?

Is Samsung stupid to do this to makes the old note 10.1 similar to note 10.1 2014 ??

I hope so

Why are they stupid? Software shouldn't be restricted to newer hardware. There are hardware upgrades but the current 10.1 hardware is very capable of handling all of the new features in the 2014 version. People will buy the new one for hardware and design enhancement and people who don't own the older version will still buy the new one. Not stupid in my book.

OT, but speaking of updates when are we going to receive the next one? My Samsung Apps updated themselves, but no OS updates in a very long time.
Other than that, I too am curious about Air Command and what changes the new Snote will bring as I rely heavily on Snote and think it's a great program.

There are plenty of hardware changes that will differentiate the OG from the 2014 version. Software wise we should have a similar experience, with the exception of processor limitations.

We already have all of these features on Note 10.1... Quick command does every single one of the features except global search which is pulled strait from S Voice handwriting input. You can add contacts and phone numbers everything in Quick command... funny thing is it was c gimmick on Note 10.1 1st Gen and these will be more of the same as its just Quick Command in a different UI

I think the old Note 10.1 will be updated directly with Android 4.3 with the features of Note 10.1 2014 probably at the end on Q4 or maybe Q1. So yes, the air comand feature should be available also on the old Note 10.1. Question is , how many of you will be using it ?

Nexus 7 vs Nexus 6 screen real estate

So I have been thinking about maybe replacing my Nexus 7 not with a Nexus 9 but actually a Nexus 6. But I wanted a good size comparison of the actual screen real estate, so I did some cut n pasting. I thought there would be less of a difference but 7" with 16:10 turns out to be quite a lot bigger than 6" in 16:9. So it wont be a worthy replacement, at least not for me. I'm posting it here because someone else might be in the same thoughts.

That's a pricy replacement...

The Nexus 6's display is a little over 15 square inches in area, versus the Nexus 7's 22 square inches.

If you don't need phone functionality, you should consider the nVidia Shield tablet as well, it have quite a few features the Nexus 9 lacks.

You might consider a 6.1" Ascend Mate 2. Still not as big [emoji2], but at least a lot cheaper than a Nexus 6. I have an LTE N7 and the Ascend and it holds it's own overall.

Ascend Mate 2 was already confirmed as a device Huawei will not even update to KitKat, let alone Lollipop.

True, but that didn't come out until after October 27. [emoji2]

thanks for this info. have to account though that the N6 has 2 generations improvement on specs and is more portable. i am also on the fence on this decision.
update : In the end, I just got another Nexus 7 2013. much more cost efficient

Random thoughts on the n6 vs n7. Nexus 6 has a better quality screen, is lighter and faster with 50 percent more ram. I have both and I find that there isn't much usability difference between them actually. However, if you want to watch a movie, is nice to sit the n7 down on a table with a kickstand and it's easier to view at a distance. But n6 speakers are as good or better than the n7. I still end up using both everyday. The phone gets about 4 times the use, so I put it on the charger and grab the n7 when I get home from work. The n7 has much better battery life in my usage. I have OmniROM lollipop and elementalX kennel on both. I find that I sometimes use them both at the same time, the n7 for movies or YouTube and the n6 surfing or replying to emails, etc. I used to have a 10" tablet and a 4" phone, but the n6n7 combo is still surprisingly complimentary.

Time's up for Redmi Note 3?

Okay as the title suggests, my post is all about whether the prime of our phone is behind it and it's time to cash on the phone and move to a new beast where development is very much active be it from the community with cust roms or the creators and their stock rom. I mean if I look at the pace of how things are going on Oreo compared to how things went on Nougat, there's a world of a difference. Besides our specs are starting to lag behind, so is it still worth to hold on the Redmi Note 3 SD or it's time to move onto a new beast?!

I'm still in love with my Redmi Note 3, I never had problems with it. It was always easy to remove the Bootloop, the battery after almost 2 years is still perfect, I have no lags, I can change ROM whenever I want. I would not change it for anything.

Specs are starting to lag behind? How come? Most of the devices in this price range still use snapdragon 625 or even less if it's from some manufacturer like Samsung, Nokia and so on. Don't be ridiculous... Redmi Note 3 was ahead of its time when it comes to price to performance ratio and it still holds up today pretty well. Samsung a8 which is brand new and more expensive has the exact same Antutu score as redmi note 3 and redmi note 3 is from 2016. I would choose Note 3 every day of the week.

OP, Can you mention any device that has more Oreo custom roms than Kenzo/Kate? Because i haven't really found any.

No, i'm not agree with you. Kenzo still beast.
Until Xiaomi starting to use 660 or it successors for redmi, i don't think to upgrade my device. I just not really care about SD 61x, 62x, or 63x series. That what i'm thinking about..
(Or maybe its time to thinking xiaomi's flagship then, coz think it impossible to xiaomi using 66x or it successor for redmi series.. ?)

NO
