PlainDosa Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 But I dont understand why they d stick a 5 mp camera in it. 8 mp is now the norm for high end phones Megapixel is not all that count. It will be a 5Mpx with improved optics or sensors...we should just wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersim Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 but to the layman - 8MP sounds better than 5 mp. Carl zeiss lens ? I just hope its not a cost cutting measure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anshul Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 Megapixels doesnt matter at all unless you make big prints. I've made tack sharp 8x12 prints using 3-4mp files. It's the glass and low light capability of the sensor that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Hopefully it's a great sensor. We'll know the confirmed specs in an hour or so from now I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlainDosa Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich now official Lock-screen The new lock-screen featuring the time, date, day, battery life, and animated "flourish" to unlock the phone. As we speculated before, ICS will feature a facial recognition unlocker, which will use your face to unlock the device. In case that doesn't work (which it didn't in the demo), you still have the pattern-unlocker like you're already used to. Homescreen, Launcher Your homescreen is "your space". You can scroll around, gesturing left and right to flip between related screens.Widgets now are scrollable and resizable. Apps and widgets can be easily are easily added by dragging and dropping (like we've seen in Honeycomb and the Droid Bionic). Live wallpapers have been optimized. Boring button presses" have been replaced with gestures.Folders can be created easily by simply dropping icons on top of each other. Your "Favorites tray" can now contain folders and apps, as well as direct-dial contacts. The task manager looks like the Honeycomb switcher, but features the ability to "flick" the app away to remove it from the list by sliding an app to the right.Pressing the power and volume-down buttons will capture a screen shot, complete with a Polaroid-style preview. Like running tasks, notifications can be "flicked" away and are now faster than ever before. They can even be "peaked at" from the lock-screen where the notification shade can be pulled down and apps launched -- without "sliding to unlock" first.Your apps drawer now features left and right paginated swiping, no more endless up/down scrolling as in Gingerbread and earlier versions of Android. Keyboard Error correction has been improved and the suggestion strip made bigger and easier. Cut/copy/paste has been GREATLY improved. ICS improves the microphone "talk to type" by making it instant, so words appear as you "type" with your voice -- including punctuation and emoticons. Browser The Browser now has a much better way to access your tabs and an easy way to "request desktop version" pages which default to a "mobile view" so you can get the full version of the site easily.Your bookmarks are also synced with your desktop browser.Incognito mode has now officially arrived for more privacy while surfing. Gmail Two-line message previews.Off-line search allows you to search the last 30 days of messages by default, but it's configurable to any amount of time you want. Right to left swiping is now featured as an easy way to navigate through conversations. Calendar The updated Calendar app features pinch-to-zoom in and out at your daily events, giving you more detail as you zoom in, and less detail as you zoom out. Data Usage Data usage is a big concern with data caps, throttling, and overages.ICS now brings a way to look inside your data usage by showing your past usage and forecasting future usage. Camera and Photos Picture-taking is now instantaneous with zero shutter-lag. You can literally take pictures as fast as you can tap the shutter button.The new Gallery app features new image editing tools and uses the new "Magazine Layout" common in ICS to beautifully display your images.The built-in camera app now has a panorama mode that's ridiculously easy to use. Video Shooting video on the Galaxy Nexus is now 1080p HD using the stock camer app and features automatic focus, time-lapse, low-light capabilities, and even "tap-to-snap" still shots while you're shooting video. People, Calls, and Dialer What was "Contacts" is now "People". The "People Card" now features a high-quality picture at the top, all your "connections" with that person (SMS, Google Talk, Gmail, Twitter, Facebook, and any other app that plugs in via the API), along with all the recent posts from that person (which sounds an awful lot like Windows Phone 7). Swiping right in the dialer will bring up your favorites. Visual voicemail is now included right in the recent calls list where they should be -- yes, that includes messages left on Google Voice. Listening to long-winded voice messages doesn't have to be a pain any more, they can be sped up while they're playing, cutting the playback time dramatically. Android Beam Using ICS and NFC you can now share any contact (any content really) between Android-devices via NFC by simply touching the devices together and tapping the screen of the device to send from one phone to the other (no third-party or "Bumping" required). SDK The Android ICS SDK is available right now at Android.com, so developers can get started taking advantages of all of ICS' new features (including the Galaxy Nexus' built-in barometer) right away!

PlainDosa Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) Samsung Galaxy Nexus hands-on - Engadget The 1.2GHz dual-core processor was startlingly fast. It actually felt a wee bit quicker than our Galaxy S II, and given that Ice Cream Sandwich and the Galaxy Nexus were apparently built for one another, we're assuming there's some deeply ingrained optimizations to thank. Swiping from pane to pane was faster than its ever been on Android, and the new Roboto font actually is super eye-pleasing. The touch response of the capacitive buttons -- much like those on the original Nexus One -- take a bit of getting used to, and we had to mash 'em just a touch harder than we anticipated to elicit a response. Not necessarily a bad thing, just a thing worth noting. The overall phone feels adequately thin, and while the 4.65-inch display sounds gargantuan, the handset itself doesn't feel so massive to hold. Until, of course, you grab the comparatively minuscule Nexus One. Still, we've been clamoring for a 1,280 x 720 display on a smartphone for what feels like forever, and now that it's here on the Galaxy Nexus, we aren't about the kvetch. Indeed, the panel looks downright gorgeous, with unbeatable viewing angles, remarkably crisp text and graphics and a beautiful feel as one swipes across it. The fingerprint magnet that is a glossy overcoat is still here, but it's the only feel niggle we've found on the screen as a whole. Having the 3.5mm headphone jack on the rear seems like a necessary design choice given the tapering at the top, and unlike that other phone, there's no mute switch here -- you'll just have to hold the Volume Down button for a few seconds. The rear cover pops off in similar fashion to the Galaxy S II, but the ridged plastic cover has a far softer touch than the aforesaid contemporary. The camera is also situated right in the center, with branding kept to a minimum.

Chaztin Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 (edited) No awesomesauceness. Though a decent upgrade for SGS users and kwel upgrade for SGS2 users. Nevertheless samsung keeps its saga of sexy screen alive. Phone must feel good in hand though. I might actually go for it. ICS appears cool though.
