Apple may have had its big day or two to take in the spotlight and make the competition look bad with its fancy new iPhone 4 and iOS 4.0, but Motorola isn’t going to sit there and just take it. Sanjay Jha & Friends are bringing everything they have to the smartphone party and calling all bets by publicly stating the company’s intent to launch an Android device with a 2 GHz processor by the end of this year.
That’s right, Motorola is planning a new device that is twice as fast as the iPhone 4 and faster than most capable netbooks (running 1.6 GHz or slower processors, that is). It’s clear to see what HelloMoto’s vision is for the upcoming years in the mobile industry, and the company intends to be on the front lines of this onslaught of superphones.This statement came out of Jha’s mouth yesterday at the Executives Club in Chicago and discussed his vision of the future having a focus on highly-capable smartphones that take the place of, and be mostly responsible for the demise of, mobile computing devices such as notebooks and netbooks (would this include the iPad though?). Which naturally led him into sharing this golden nugget of information.
But here’s another kicker. Another anonymous Motorola executive told Conceivably Tech that this new powerful device will essentially include everything that is “technologically possible” in any smartphone today. It will include a gyroscope and a powerful new Nvidia Tegra-based graphics processor complete with full Flash 10.1 hardware acceleration. Oh yeah, this exec also talked about 720p HD video output, HD screen resolution, and camera with more than 5 MP. This has me drooling already.
So what does this mean for you, consumer who is on the fence about iPhone 4? Could this be enough to sway you in either direction?
If Motorola truly comes out with this superphone, it quite possibly could show up as a new Droid (or similar branding) for the holidays. It would make sense, though it’s too early to predict whether or not it will be exclusively on Verizon. No matter what, news like this is what makes me so excited for the future. We have a lot of great things coming, and we’re just barely scratching the surface of what’s actually possible in the future.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say: Unless it has a mini-nuclear battery plant it in, it's going to last about 2 hours 39 minuets and 3.5 seconds.
There comes a point when you don't need anymore power in a phone, because as it is, we're nearing the point of them being able to run Windows 7 Starter!
Actually, lets just carry iPads around and talk on them.

So when exactly did they launch a 2GHZ cell chip? Are we sure they didn't mean 1.2 as in qsd dualcore?

Ummm....what? Did you read it? Future releases don't have to have anything out in the wild yet, planning stages are planning stages.
After reading the leaked FroYo response and hearing about all the C&D letters Moto legal dept has been spewing out. I'm not sure I would buy any Motorola device unless they lightened up a bit.
I guess I am too much of a newbie to post links so see this engadget article for more on my point...

I'm with you dude. if Motorola is going to keep building kill-chips into their handsets, i don't want it.
Considering we're 4 months away from the end of the year and 3 months from the start of the Christmas shopping season, I would think that anything like this would have to be about to start production. I've only heard rumors of dual core and 2 GHz processors, nothing to my knowledge has become available yet. I've heard a lot of news about random tablets and stuff using the Tegra but this is the first I've heard about a Motorola phone. I don't doubt they'll make one but my suspicion is that it won't be available till around Q2 of 2011. Anything like this should be well beyond the planning stage by now if it were going to be released by the end of this year.
aush30 ,
I do have to agree with you that i dont think we will see the phone this year but i am planning on a 2ghz phone being released early in '11
As far as motorola lighting up im not soo concerned with this fact, For the sole reason that if they launch this phone ATT, SPRINT, TMobile will all have to release 2GHZ phones or push theyre research departments. Its an ARMS race with phones..

The reason I say Q2 at the earliest is because of the electronics conventions at the beginning of the year. They'll probably show something off in January-February but it won't become available until at least a couple months later. I could be completely wrong but that seems to be the trend.
We will see when in 2011
yeah, unless there is a major breakthrough in batteries I just don't see this being a good thing
Me thinks it's a tab, not a phone.

Why is it always 'the coming weeks' with Google?
Could mean the ATO goes out the end of this week and continues over the coming weeks, or it could mean the OTA will start in a few weeks.
But I'm happy to wait, we've got stuff to tide us over for now.

iirc:
days = weeks

This "a few weeks" crap is really starting to get old.
There's a shock.
This is BS. Jan 6 they will announce Honeycomb/MotoTab while Nexus One owners are still waiting for 2.3 OTA?
So what is the true developer device? Nexus One? S? MotoTab for Honeycomb whether its 2.4 or 3.0?
They said the same thing about our OTA when they announced Froyo. I think was pushed about a month later.
I don't really care about the OTA but I'd like some updated drivers so AOSP would run smoothly.
I honestly expect more out of Google.
I mean, I do systems engineering and I totally understand what its like to develop firmware and software development, but this is google. Theyve got armies of engineers and talented people who I think are passionate of their product.
For them to jumble and bobble these dates, is this a case of internal politics between program teams, bad marketing strategy, or is google human like everybody else and cannot execute a software release cleanly and on time?
Take a look at CM. They don't promise dates and work their tails off to get you a stable release. And they're not getting at 10% pay raise across the board. Talk about passion (pun intended).
I would just like to know when they changed the statement that the N1 would get all future updates ahead of all other devices...
I would say that the delay will be like the one with Froyo. Every time a new build is tested, new bugs will emerge. It's frustrating, but they'll be working hard on it.

Technically no other phone has received the 2.3 "update" ahead of the Nexus One.
The Nexus S "launched" with 2.3

Because Gingerbread was developed using a Nexus S...and Froyo the Nexus One.
The only builds that happened to have a chance for leaking before 16th of December were those coming from the Nexus S used for Demos by some sites.

Then why was it always a Nexus One when Google was showing off Gingerbread? Or when we got that leaked video of the screen off animation? Or the other leaked videos? Always Nexus Ones.
I assume that it wasn't perfect yet and near the Nexus S release date all development was shifted to that to get rid of bugs there first, now it's time to go back and finish the Nexus One.
a few weeks is starting to sound like a few months...

Do Nexus S buyers have reasons to feel betrayed cos just only 20 days after buying the newest of phones with the latest of Androids, suddenly a newer version of the latter is announced? Please...
It's the same with Nexus One users and updates, be patient, that's all. Is FroYo that bad that you can't wait or just want to get Gingerbread asap? Novelty wears fast.

Well, this is the problem with being open, developing fast and the problem of fragmentation.
Frankly I was surprised and impressed when Rubin announced that Honeycomb will run on both phones and tablets, implementation of panes will be different per device, but ultimately both form factors will share the underlying framework.
That being said, it does seem that the general strategy is to create a mobile OS across multiple form factors and use cases.
If that is the case, what is the true "google experience"? Nexus? the tablet? a new developer device?
I dont think its been stated explicitly but the beauty of Android is how quickly its evolved due to its disruptive nature. 500 dollars is well spent if the product gains functionality by software updates over the course of time it is used. If you think about it, wouldn't the nexus line of phones be theoretically depreciate the least for a product that is considered an expense?
Thus the excitement/impatience for the latest and greatest.
Maybe Google secretly hates everyone still using an N1 and their righteous outrage at not having everything yesterday. Maybe Google gave Samsung gingerbread exclusivity until 2011. Didn't the Droid get a fair bit of fanfare with it's 2.0 exclusivity? 5 days into 2010 and we were introduced to the N1 and 2.1.
I have to imagine it would have been a pain to develop on a phone while Samsung was still monkeying around with the GPS and then there's the video evidence of gingerbread on the N1. My guess is that gingerbread is probably nicely baked for our consumption and just waiting on the calendar.
So why not ever give us precise dates? It's not like OTA updates happen in a day, it's taken weeks for updates to reach me in Canada (when I don't do it manually). Google has told us it's coming and coming soon at that. That's a hell of a lot more than the users of any other phone (barring 1) can say.
People on sites like this will ***** if it's not the right colour, if it doesn't make toast for them, if they don't know when they're getting it down to the minute. Google may as well just let us *****, there's nothing they can do about it.
I'd encourage patience but if you're browsing XDA patience is not in your nature.
If it means so much for all of you to be first on the list for updates - GO BUY A NEXUS S AND SHUT THE HELL UP.
Otherwise, acknowledge your phone is a year old and quit being unrealistic FFS, half of you must be ten years old - if that's the case, do what you did the first time; go grab mommy or daddy's credit card and order a Nexus S.
Dear xda,
To many of you this may seem like a stupid question, and are probably thinking "this idiot should just go do some research" - I already have. I can get an upgrade as early as the 28th March (Just over a month away). I am not considering the SGS II (I already know it will be too expensive)
So this is what I know to make my decision upon, any other developments, user experiences welcome.
Galaxy Nexus Pros:
-Google ICS
-Will receive latest updates
-4.65" Screen 720x1280 HD
-Aesthetically pleasing
Galaxy Nexus Cons:
-PenTile matrix screen [everyone or reddit says not to worry, this screen is the **** and a lot better than sgsII's)
-Price
-Worse Camera than SGS II
-Worse GPU than SGS II
-Worse CPU??
Galaxy S II Pros:
-Getting ICS
-Cheap (£26pcm - will drop with release of SGS III)
-Awesome hardware
Galaxy S II Cons:
-Smaller screen than GNex 4.2" 480x800 WVGA
-Almost a year old (however still comparable to Gnex which is a "brand new" device)
-Not sure: worse android development than GNex??
Also on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/q19aa/upgrade_advice_galaxy_nexus_vs_samsung_galaxy_s_ii/
By March 28 the SIII will probably be revealed...

May last I heard, but it'll be way too expensive, the only benefit it will give me is drive down the prices of those two phones.
Yes wait for a couple of months or you will repent for sure. Both the devices you have shortlisted will be outdated soon.

Prices will come down but I don't think by that much as this is still a powerful phone. It's selling well and I doubt we will see the SGS3 that early as most likely they will try to have a same timeish global launch considering it's pretty new in the States. I personally think they will try to compete with the iPhone 5 than anything else so may get a delayed launch but that's just what I think!
Hold tight as rumours it may get announced at the Amsterdam event next month so we may or may not get an indication of release date.
From a specs standpoint, the practical difference in high end Android devices is absolutely nothing. You aren't doing any computationally intensive operations like compiling source code or video conversions. You're running games and social media apps and texting and looking at emails.
Sure, the GSII has more megapixels, but I can't tell a difference in the picture quality. Plus, the Galaxy Nexus has a much fast shutter speed, which more than makes up for the 3 megapixels it's giving to the GSII.
The screen surface of the Galaxy Nexus is smoother than the screen surface of the GSII. I have no idea why, but the GSII isn't nearly as easy to fling your thumb across and shows fingerprints more.
The Galaxy Nexus has a recovery partition, the GSII doesn't. The Galaxy Nexus development is thriving and probably has 5 or 6 ROMs that are built from Android Source. There are 2 AOSP roms for GSII and several Samsung-based ROMs.
Really, I love both of the phones. There are ALWAYS better phones on the horizon. Always. Don't wait.

I'm in no rush anyway if I'm honest, the earliest I can upgrade is the 28th March (officially ends June 28th), I just want to know where I stand with phones so I can get right in there and not have to ponder too much about what I'm going to go for. It's funny to see the idiot salesmen try to push crap onto you though (I was told the Buzz is better than the Bravo when I was getting it).

Hmm the ad isn't very good. Which is the other phone? How exactly does the Lumia beat it? And honestly I don't think humiliating owners of other phones is a good way of perusading them to switch. I know Samsung pokes at Apple in its ads but in a much lighter way.
Nokia can say all they want but the company its a sinking ship as we all know it. Their stock fall 19% after the release of highly anticipated Lumia 900. lol
Personally, I dont think Lumia 900 is competing with SGN as it has much lower spec. It is aiming less technical crowd who cant afford iphone. WP maybe fast at doing specific function, but I doubt it is going to matter until they have a fully developed App store. Unfortunately, it may not happen at all since we already have Andiod and ios. All Apple has to do is pricing previous generation iphone at a discount or introduce a lower model. In reality, it so much easy to tweak os and make certain task fast than building a fully developed App market. That is why MS is offering up to $60k for dev who is interested in WP app.
I went to two "smoked by windows" event in US. Most of ppl who attend dont give a @ss about either Nokia or WP, they all their for the free phone so they can put it ebay. WP maybe fast at doing specific function, but I doubt it is going to matter until they have a fully developed App store. Unfortunately, it may not happen at all since we already have Andiod and ios.
Samsung has no right to whine about this when they did the same to apple with "you're a barista" commercial
plus if they have balls then let them officially acknowledge the fact that many gnotes have problems such as banding, clipping,color shifting, etc
even Sony confirmed that their experia s had display problems and that customers can get their devices replaced..
btw Nokia even gave customers a $100 rebate for a software bug with lumia 900!!
now sony and Nokia were decent enough to accept the fact while Samsung remains silent even though they are aware of the issues

Nokia has many followers in Africa/India and some other middle countries. I think they might do well there but they are loosing grounds in Europe and they still have to make a name in the US.
Android still rocks and I definitely don't think anything will change. Once you use a windows phone and then compare it to the ease of your's friend/relative's Android phone, I don't think you'll make the same mistake twice for your next phone!
Nokia will definitely rock the phone world with their 41mp camera Nokia 808 PureView. This is the device many people are eagerly waiting down the corner and there could be a shift in the trend soon with that beast......
Time to change.........the girlfriend !!!! not the phone. Android is by far a better ecosystem than IOS or Windows.
Such a dumb video clip. lol!!!
I wouldn't say that posting to facebook is grounds for blowing anything away.
Ha Ha, Wallies.
I have owned a Nokia since the 2110i and I strongly supported Nokia untill recently. When Nokia decided to use Windows Mobile as their OS, I decided to vote with my money. I switched to Samsung and I am very pleased with this. It doesn't matter what Nokia or Apple or any one else for that matter does. You as the consumer have the control. Hurt them where it hurts most. Don't support them and don't buy their products,and tell everyone that you come in to contact with. I also don't buy Sony products for their beligerant attitude and monopoly.

I think its funny how all the manufacturers slate each other, its just good advertising. I wonder if you can go into the shop and ask the windows phone to beat your test against your phone. Like play a hd video on the screen in its actual resolution 1280 x 720 p, oh wait. Or play street fighter ex plus alpha on you 50 inch tv using a ps3 controller using the phone oh wait! All phones have there strengths and weaknesses but I sooner have a phone that can do all the functions than do a select few really fast.
According to latest financial news reports, within next 7 quarters ,nokias cash reserves will be over and Nokia would be blown away from the face of earth!
they've already got the first blow as bloomberg announces Samsung, may have shipped 92 million mobile phones, surpassing Nokia’s 83 million units for the first three months of 2012;the 9-million gap ending Nokia’s 14-year reign as the largest global mobile phone maker.

Come on, give Nokia a break. They are already losing money and they still bother pestering us with the advertisement. Be nice.
Nokia is just trying to save face.
Mercy to the defeated is a sign of nobility.

They make great phones, the only brand I have used since vzw started selling them. They have just been mis-managed
the last five years. They have never put the necessary money into advertising to sell their product to a wider audience
the way Samsung and Apple do. The average cell phone customer probably has never heard of HTC.

who the hell cares if he's right
consider this the HTC One was released early this year, it's indeed 2013 phone of the year, ask any SGS3 / SGS4 convert
if HTC is indeed in the red knows, this gives them two years before sale or change of owner ship or even going private, even then under a new form they are most likely to continue operation (they are Taiwan's most prized)
until then? plenty of time for the world to enjoy the HTC One and the software updates are flowing like water
so enough drama, this phone is fulfilling it's job for this year and the year to come
It's the phone of the year, 90% of the world's press agree, otherwise you are missing out
Thata boy HTC!
DESERVED!
This went downhill pretty quickly
The topic here is the HTC One winning awards. Criticising other manufacturers, or even talking about their rumoured acquisition is not supposed to be here. Promoting Samsung shouldn't be here either. You can talk about whether the One deserves the awards, but I think a battle between the manufacturers belongs elsewhere.
I'll be watching the thread.
After giving them another try after the Desire HD (Inspire 4g in 'Murica). The One X and One have both been incredible pieces of hardware. How they have not been more popular I'll never know.

Probably HTC not giving the right sales incentives. I think Samsung and others make it worthwhile for the reps to push their phones.

Go into any of the highstreet mobile shops and you will see. Samsung drown them in so many free t-shirts and other junk that they no longer need to do laundry!

I think this is a huge win for HTC.
This is a software win as well which is, to say the least, mind blowing. I never thought HTC would get here. Sense finally has gotten to the right balance of being functional without being intrusive and lagging the device. The speakers are great and all but what really makes this device is the amazing software that powers it.
You have to give it to HTC for optimization when you see their underclocked Snapdragon 600 chip device (both CPU and GPU) that is running the older LPDDR2 memory take out devices with faster clock speeds and faster memory in every day performance. HTC has struggled with that since the Windows Mobile days and they've finally found their balance.
HTC won me over with the One. And I swore off HTC after the disaster that was the Sensation... Hopefully they can keep churning out winning devices! :highfive:
I like how HTC being not famous...makes it even more unique having their product...poor those enslaved by samsung plasticky, well I am one before One X and the One
