AtheK Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Seems HTC did good work with JB update, early benchmarks show it has gone better the S3 where it was lagging behind earlier http://m.gsmarena.com/jelly_bean_update_for_htc_one_x_boosts_performance-news-5010.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRMNTR Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Just letting you know. WebOS was already doing this. This is not innovation at all. It's just better marketing. Anyways, i hope they add more apps (non-samsung & non-google) which are very popular now like whatsapp, Music player (not even the pre-installed one works atm). But yeah it's awesome to you use this feature. Another great feature which i hadn't seen in any videos is; when you use the mail app in landscape mode, you have this list of mails along with the reading pane like in outlook. which is really awesome . I was talking strictly in terms of Android. It's good to see that Samsung is pushing for innovation. Some other companies in comparison just like to stay put.

Solitaire Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) If you guys use this definition for innovation, let's just stop complaining then about Apple stealing the notification system from Android and calling it innovation Yes, Samsung did something good but let's not praise them endlessly for innovation. WATCH IT WHILE YOU CAN! (might not be up for long). Quick Settings, but not exactly how we imagined it in Android 4.2.

Solitaire Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 LG and Google just officially announced the Nexus 4, despite canceling a press event in New York City on Monday. The new device runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and supports 3G/HSPA+ networks (no 4G LTE, it appears) and is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz and with Krait CPUs, a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display with a 1280 x 768-pixel resolution, 8GB or 16GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel HD front-facing camera, a 2,100mAh battery, NFC, wireless charging support and more. “This is the first time we collaborated with LG to build a Nexus device,” said Andy Ru-bin, Senior Vice President of Mobile and Digital Content at Google. “They brought an extraordinary amount of talent to the project, and the result is a feature-packed device that feels great in your hand, and blazingly fast under the hood.” LG and Google said the Nexus 4 will launch in the U.S., UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia on Nov. 13. It will then launch in Europe, Central/South America, Asia, CIS and the Middle East at the end of November. Neither Google nor LG said how much the smartphone will cost. http://www.technobuffalo.com/companies/google/android/lg-and-google-unveil-nexus-4-launches-nov-13/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solitaire Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2012/10/nexus-best-of-google-now-in-three-sizes.html Nexus 4, Nexus 10 all official. Nexus: The best of Google, now in three sizes October 29, 2012 People increasingly have more than one device, and they switch between them many times a day. Nexus—Google’s hardware line for Android devices—gets rid of the hassle. Just sign in with your Google Account and everything is there ready to go, whatever device you’re using: photos, emails, contacts, bookmarks, even your entertainment on Google Play. Today, we’re excited to announce three great new Nexus devices … in small, medium and large. And they all run Android 4.2, a new flavor of Jelly Bean—which includes the latest version of Google Now and other great new features. Nexus 4 with Google Now and Photo Sphere Nexus 4 is our latest smartphone, developed together with LG. It has a quad-core processor which means it's super fast, a crisp 4.7" (320 ppi) display that's perfect for looking at photos and watching YouTube, and with wireless charging you just set the phone down on a charging surface to power it up, no wires needed. While Nexus 4 is incredibly powerful under the hood, it also features the latest version of Jelly Bean, Android 4.2—the simplest and smartest version of Android yet. Starting with the camera, we've reinvented the photo experience with Photo Sphere, which lets you capture images that are literally larger than life. Snap shots up, down and in every direction to create stunning 360-degree immersive experiences that you can share on Google+ with friends and family—or you can add your Photo Sphere to Google Maps for the world to see. Android 4.2 brings other great goodies like Gesture Typing, which lets you glide your finger over the letters you want to type on the keyboard—it makes typing fast, fun and a whole lot simpler. Android 4.2 also adds support for Miracast wireless displays so you can watch movies, YouTube videos, and play games right on your HDTV wirelessly. Google Now—even more useful We designed Google Now to make life simpler by giving you the right information at just the right time in easy to read cards, before you even ask. And the feedback has been awesome. So today we’re adding more cards that we hope you’ll find useful. Flight information, restaurant reservations, hotel confirmations and shipping details—how often have you found yourself wading through your email to get this information at the last moment? So next time you book a table for dinner, you’ll get a reminder with all the details without ever having to lift a finger. You’ll also get cards for nearby attractions, interesting photo spots, movies times at nearby theaters or concerts by your favorite artists. Nexus 7: Thin, light and now even more portable Nexus 7 brings you the best of Google–YouTube, Chrome, Gmail, Maps–and all the great content from Google Play in a slim, portable package that fits perfectly in your hand. To give you more room for all that great content you can now get Nexus 7 with 16GB ($199) or 32GB ($249) of storage. But we also wanted to make this highly portable tablet even more mobile. So we added HSPA+ mobile data. Nexus 7 is now also available with 32GB and HSPA+ mobile ($299), which can operate on more than 200 GSM providers worldwide, including AT&T in the US. Nexus 10: Powerful and shareable Nexus 10 is the ultimate tablet for watching movies or reading magazines. We wanted to build a premium entertainment device, so we partnered with Samsung to do just that. Nexus 10 is the highest resolution tablet on the planet at 2560-by-1600 (300ppi), that's over 4 million pixels right in your hands. It comes with a powerful battery that will get you up to nine hours of video playback and more than 500 hours of standby time. With a set of front-facing stereo speakers, you can watch movies right from your Nexus 10 and they simply sound awesome. But what makes Nexus 10 unique is that it's the first truly shareable tablet. With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores. Google Play: More entertainment, more countries We’ve recently added a ton of great new entertainment to Google Play, such as movies and TV shows from Twentieth Century Fox. Earlier this year we expanded our service beyond movie rentals and now you can purchase movies and build a library of your favorites in Google Play. Today we’re bringing movie purchasing to more countries - Canada, the U.K., France, Spain and Australia. We’re also excited to announce two new partnerships. We’re now working with Time, Inc. to bring you even more magazines like InStyle, PEOPLE, TIME and others. And we’ve partnered with Warner Music Group who will be adding their full music catalog with new songs coming each day. We’re now working with all of the major record labels globally, and all the major U.S. magazine publishers, as well as many independent labels, artists and publishers. On November 13, we're bringing music on Google Play to Europe. Those of you in the U.K, France, Germany, Italy and Spain will be able to purchase music from the Google Play store and add up to 20,000 songs—for free—from your existing collection to the cloud for streaming to your Android devices or web browser. We’re also launching our new matching feature to streamline the process of uploading your personal music to Google Play. We’ll scan your music collection and any song we match against the Google Play catalog will be automatically added to your online library without needing to upload it, saving you time. This will be available in Europe at launch on November 13 and is coming to the U.S. soon after. This will all be for free—free storage of your music, free matching, free syncing across your devices and free listening. Great value We’ve always focused on building great devices at great value. And we think today’s devices offer the very best that money can buy. Here are more details on when and where you can pick up your next Nexus device: Nexus 4: 8GB for $299; 16GB for $349; available unlocked and without a contract on 11/13 on the Google Play store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB version will also be available through T-Mobile for $199, with a 2-year contract (check here for more details). Nexus 7: 16GB for $199 and 32GB for $249; available in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan, and also through our retail partners Gamestop, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples, Walmart. Nexus 7 with 32GB and mobile data: $299 and unlocked, on sale 11/13 in the Google Play store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. Nexus 10: 16GB for $399; 32GB for $499; available on 11/13 in the Google Play Store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan. A Nexus device is much more than simply a phone or tablet. It’s your connection to the best of Google—all of your stuff and entertainment, everywhere you go with no hassle. Now you have three new Nexus devices, a new improved version of Jelly Bean and more entertainment than ever before—all available in Google Play. The playground is open. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHuoDqcIyqk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Stryke Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Instanbuy at 349. No thinking nothing. 8GB is less at 299 but it might be useful test device for android developers. I think is android phones are settling at one resolution now 720p. And the nexus 10 at double the N7 res. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solitaire Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) clear this guys, in any nexus device. Who built the phone (I mean h/w and manufacturing)? google or the companies like samsung, LG etc? Hardware is LG and samsung all the way. Google doesn't have hardware engineers for anything but a few niche projects like the Google Car and some mundane testing. The software comes from Google for all Nexus devices. Not too thrilled about the tablet. Guess it's cos I don't really need one with Android on it. But that phone.. Man, I might actually BUY a Nexus device for the first time instead of waiting to win it. @Anshul Thank God it stayed below 5 inches. @Shantz Didn't they let you opt in for "Google now can use gmail as a data source" a week ago? Atleast mine seems to do so after I opted in to the beta trial. Edited October 29, 2012 by Gaurav - Solitaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death Stryke Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Yessir. Have seen one in the flesh. Great tab for its price. Although if u already own a big phone, it might start catching dust in a few weeks. So I wouldn't advise big phone owners to get it. But that's jut my Luddite thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
