HTC made the first Google Nexus One and Samsung made the following Nexus S. It is rumored that Samsung will be the handset maker responsible for the next Nexus smartphone. Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is the next version to be announced, and it is anticipated that a Samsung Nexus Prime with a curved display will be the first smartphone running the new OS.

Samsung Nexus Prime teaser video Alternatively post this in the Esato forum Please sign in to your Esato account to leave a comment regarding this article  julias12 years, 6 months agoIs it because Steve Jobs passed away and they don't think that it would be appropriate to launch a iPhone rival at this time?Personally i think that's the right thing to do at this time from a marketing perspective. Oooo, that looks nice! Dual core battery! That should be interesting..... 
Well, this will probably be my next phone.
Moving on from the sad passing of Steve for a moment, i dont think they'll postpone the release of this phone, they'll just make it appear that way. They'll delay the announcement, but still release the phone around the original time they planned. So if they announced it on the 11th as planned and released it come 31st October, they'll probably now announced it a week or two later such as the 25th with a probable immediate release. Google and Samsung wont want to let the iPhone 4S take so much of the sales in the run up to Christmas. So i reckon anyway, i could be completely wrong. Im wondering whats those three dots on the side of the device ? status LEDs ? a button ? just a grip ? a pressure sensor for unlocking the phone ? Either way i cant wait for a phone with a HD screen for web browsing alone. On 2011-10-08 00:46:03, Rob123 wrote: Dual core battery! That should be interesting.....
Dual core battery?? 
From a marketing perspective it was smart not to officially launch shows that Samsung has some class even considering that their loosing quite a few court battles against apple.
Class you cannot buy, shares and stock and revenue with marketing you can. When the tough gets going class is what ppl respect beyond $$ Hope this comes with 8MP camera instead of the rumored 5MP.
Me want... |
