Title: Google announces three new Nexus devices! (Tablets and Phones)
Post by: BIG ACH on October 29, 2012, 08:23:13 PM

Google today announced three new Nexus devices running the all new Android 4.2.  If you are unaware, the Nexus program is a Google exclusive event where different manufacturers bid their products to Google in order to become the next Nexus device, or the OFFICIAL Google Product... Nexus products run a pure vanilla version of Android without any third party customizations or skins, they are always the first Android devices to recieve updates, and are sold with unlocked bootloaders to allow for custom re-programming by customers and developers.

The devices are as follow:

1)  LG Nexus 4 Smartphone with a 4.7 1280X768 resolution screen, a 1.5 Ghz Snapdragon S4 QUAD-CORE Processor, wireless charging and 8GB and 16GB storage options, for $299 and $349 respectively

2)  Asus Nexus 7,  an update of the previous 7" tablet, with 32GB storage and 3G HSPA+ cellular service with a Tegra 3 Quad Core Processor for $299

3)  Samsung Nexus 10, a 10" tablet with a ridiculous 2560X1600 resolution (Thats higher than the new ipad's retina display), a Dual-Core Exynos processor with 2 GB of ram, and 16GB and 32GB storage options, for $399 and $499 respectively!

I went to the Apple store today to look at the tiny iphone 5 and the place was full of kids and oldies thinking they were being hip. Seriously, it was just heaving with those polar opposites. I want to love apple as, unlike Ach, I don't like Android all that much but fuck me it was a nightmare in that place..

No external memory is getting kind of old. I expect that from Apple, but not on an Android system. Asus TF700 etc...is still the way to go with Android imo, unless you really care that much about the higher resolution.

I like the idea of being able to slooge on one screen, and work on the other.

The Asus Transformer Pad Infinity features a 1920X1200 resolution... its not as high as this Nexus, but its still really fucking good!

All it needed was more storage (or expandable memory) and LTE and it would be the best phone

I expected the lack of expandable memory....  but the lack of LTE is very surprising.  I guess they have to keep the prices down, remember these prices are all for the devices unlocked and WITHOUT a contract.

You do know that one such a small screen that resolution quality stops being beneficial.  It's like people that buy 14 megapixel cameras to print 4x6's

What you guys dont get about an ipad and iphone its not just about buying the cheapest product its about what you can do with it after, apple has the most apps available more than android they dont have the viruses that an open system like android has and apple has the best customer satisfaction out of all the companies out there so i dont mind paying a bit more when i am getting such quality.

Last (and only) decent Nexus-device was the Nexus One by HTC.
Samsung sucks ass IMO. Plastic stuff.

Good they're now giving LG the turn. Must consider.

Lumia 800 is nice... iphone 5 is nice...

Most Android phones are just too big.

I really like the big screens though. Would only consider iphone as they increased the screen to 4 inches.

The screen sizes are what I hate about them... I'd switch to some other phone if they got any larger.

I dunno why I'm not sold on the Asus Padfone 2..... the concept seems cool at first, but then I dunno, I like using my tablet and my phone at the same time sometimes

Consider the Droid Razr M - has a teeeny form factor!

Or the Droid Incredible 4G - a bit bigger but not huge

I liked the original Incredible... Same size?

I might check the razor M out.

It's a bit gimmicky. However, this review was so good and in-depth it made me warm to it a lot.

Why no LTE on that new phone?  Seems a bit odd.

Despite all of these releases, go to Japan or Hong Kong and you'll see that America is still 2 years behind in cellphone and tab technologies.  When Version 2 comes out here, they are on version 4 in asia

Probably cost and wide use availability.  Remember these phones are sold unlocked, without a subsidized price, and without a carrier contract!

I liked the original Incredible... Same size?

I might check the razor M out.

The original Droid Incredible had a 3.7" display, the new Droid Incredible 4G is a tad bigger with a 4" display.

The Droid RAZR M has  4.5" display but doesn't feel big because it has a very small frame and is close to being edge to edge as Motorola likes to call it

It comes in both black and white has a better battery than the incredible 4G and is only $50 on wirefly.com
