Seems pretty great. Only thing that makes me scratch my head is: why is the OS setup as a mobile phone instead of a tablet (as evidenced by the central position of the soft keys)?
Different CPUs (and CPU "generations"). I haven't looked at benchmarks or anything out there, but the A15 is a "next-gen" kind of CPU. More performance per core and all that. Should perform better, and might even have better efficiency.
Means nothing at all when this Exynos processor is better than all of the quad-core processors out there. It performs better, that's all that matters.
should be in the bottom left hand corner. if it does come out like a phone OS, it won't be long before the guys on XDA developers make a patch for it like they did with the nexus 7.
no need to roll your eyes. 1. i did not say i ONLY cared about how it looks. i merely said it looks hideous. 2. how do you know i am an apple user? compare this device to the Surface, Nexus, iPad... now let me roll my eyes.
It wouldnt be hard to either scroll through your trolling, or even just remember your posts. Im an apple hater, but at least I can admit it. You want to talk about ugly, lets talk the odd looking stretched out IP5. Or all Ipads for that matter. Can they make it more square please.
Seems like everything was just announced. Nexus 7 32GB Wifi only - $249, Available Now. Nexus 7 32 GB with HSPA+ for $299. Available November 13. Nexus 4 8 GB - $299 and 16GB $349 - off contract. Available November 13th. T-Mobile is supposed to have an unlocked version for $199 w/ a 2 year contract. Nexus 10 16 GB Wifi only - $399, 32GB $499 - Available November 13th. http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3568784/nexus-10-preview-price-release-date http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569540/google-nexus-4-preview-price-release-date http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3568614/nexus-7-32gb-hspa-tablet-available-november-13 Also Android 4.2 and the insights of it. http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3570034/inside-android-building-the-nexus-4-nexus-10-android-4-2 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/66-4uMQqerA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> I think the biggest disappointment in all of this has to be the fact that the Nexus 4 doesn't have LTE.
Great phone prices if you buy off contract. Not such a big deal if you buy on contract. Moving backwards with small storage, no storage expansion and no LTE.
They explain here why it doesn't have LTE. Still disappointed, but I've come to learn that buying a Nexus device for me comes down more to the software than the hardware. For that reason, I will always stick with a Nexus device for Android. http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569688/why-nexus-4-does-not-have-4g-lte
newb question: can someone explain to me how exactly off contract works? i guess that means you arent locked into a 2 yr deal...but do you still have to choose a carrier or something?
Off contract pretty much means what you said, no contract. You don't have to choose a carrier since it's an unlocked phone. You can use any GSM carrier for this. I really like what they're doing with Google Now. <script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?height=450&deepLinkEmbedCode=81c3BlNjqDIy40MnSIctwdVg4nObQNxz&embedCode=81c3BlNjqDIy40MnSIctwdVg4nObQNxz&width=800&video_pcode=ppbnY65tdYh_HxFfIkVstq2Iq_oQ"></script> http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569684/google-now-android-4-2-knowledge-graph-neural-networks
