So that's the official name for the next Nexus phone, manufactured by Samsung.
Am interested in getting one purely for the HD screen (though it's probably a pentile display, although I can't see the defects in it).


Main highlights of the product:
- 4.65in Super AMOLED HD screen @1280x720
- no buttons on the front
- 5MP camera with zero shutter latency
- Android 4.0 (ICS)

Not much of an upgrade if you already have a Galaxy S2.  Also doesn't seem to have support for expandable memory (despite what GSMArena says).

Due to release some time in November.

Galaxy S2

def looks stronger then the GS2,..

Don't really like the design of it to be honest. The Droid RAZR looks real smart but the screen and 2.3 spoil it.

Will wait for Galaxy S III...

*gets out microscope*
Worst. Screen. Ever!

Haha... it's true, sadly.

Hm, another criticism seems to be weakish GPU.
But lack of expandable memory is probably my prime concern.  I've had flash drives die on me, so it's nice to be able to store everything on an SD then ditch it when it goes bad.

Apparently there's a volume bug, where it reacts erraticly to a 900MHz 2G signal (either from itself or another phone).
See how long they take to fix it.

(am glad that I follow my policy of never being the guinea pig for new products)

Google announced a fix for it already.
