Nexus 2

Okay, so I've had my Nexus one for a while now, and I was wondering what they could possibly do to the nexus 2 that would make it even better. I'm thinking probably a faster processor, and more ram, but what else comes to mind?

would love to see a FM Trans to like "broadcast" to the radio....Like those transmitters for mp3 players....Would be siiiick to have pandora or something playing over car radio via my phone

Don't they have something that does that already?

better use of the snapdragon processor, but that's software related... I would like it to be more durable such as made from a single block of aluminium. Also a powerful graphics chip.

The HTC Legend is a sexy beast lol. I'd like to get my hands on one if it goes GSM.
Yeah, a more powerful graphics chip would be awesome, I just can't wait til the big developers start moving towards android so we can have some of the awesome games and apps the iPhone has.

I'm guessing you don't know that the HD2 is

Maybe they'd include a secondary camera, FM and a coffee maker

I second this. God that thing is amazing. But it won't look right until the Supersonic comes out. THEN a decent Rom will be possible in my eyes.
But with Windows Phone 7 I can imagine the devs are busy porting that to it right now.

Google HTC Scorpion......should be gsm of exactly what your dreaming of

Not that I could care less... but I would really love for the N2 to have a true multi-touch screen to shut that debate down... 1GB of RAM, 4GB internal ROM, 4" screen, XVGA LCD or SuperAMOLED... I don't like AMOLED for outdoor use. 10MP camera, with xenon flash... and of course Android 3.1!

For less than $500 right?

I will be keeping my Nexus for 2 or more years, whatever comes around the corner - i'll just port it over to the Nexus.. since the N1 is like the G1 in terms of development and popularity, I should be ok for a while..
(this is really what I'm just telling myself.. I dont want my precious Nexus to become.. not worth the time of day anymore...)
Why does technology have to advance so fast!! =(

front facing camera for video chat, a high quality speaker-phone, a kickstand with a projected laser keyboard? an hd projector component

hardware keyboard

x
I myself am sick of the having to chase technology.... I'm done for a bit, my n1 will sufficient for a year, I think thats a good time to get a new phone, once every year...
N1 just needs adobe flash and apps to sd and ill be happy as a cucumber....

Video recording capability @ 24 frames per second (constant!) with DECENT audio quality ... like the Milestone. Why have a 480x720 video resolution when the video is laggy and audio is utter crap? Also a flash option on the video recording would also be good - again, just like the Milestone.
Finally, make FM radio work and you have the perfect device.

the 1ghz processor is enough for me. the current amount of ram is enough- maybe a tad bump is cool.
get rid of the amoled display, 4-4.3 inch display. no trackball. sleep/wake from a hardware button like g1/mytouch. being able to shoot hd video.
other than that... having the nexus one has finally made me not eager to look/have the next best cellular device. this n1 almost kicks my netbooks ass

Text says picture might be wrong. Picture is clearly wrong bcuz there are softbuttons. I doubt ICS phones will come with softbuttons

For those to lazy to google it
799chf = $860 = 660€

lol, this is actually a pretty big computer shop here in switzerland. I buy a lot of stuff there. The specs are not to be taken serious and they are subject to change. I guess they just put it up there because they are pretty sure that there will be a SGS III.

Think about the battery life if those were the specs..

Techradar's view on the SGS3
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...-to-be-powered-by-2ghz-dual-core-chip-1044595

It doesn't matter if the SGSIII was the 2nd coming of Christ, if there's one thing I've learned from owning a Desire, SGS, and now the SGSII - is that my next phone will definitely be a Nexus device.

Hahaha, great...I guess we can compare the ''mystical" waiting for something like GB 2.3.4,ICS is a religious waiting for some...also the ranting over phones and OS's is sometimes more fun to watch than the religious ranting
As for the S3 specs, two cents:
- we're all gonna have the option to get a Sammy official gear a lead acid carry on bag to get a decent battery life. AOS is huge on 2 [email protected] GHz, just imagine on a quad [email protected] 2.0.....
- who the hell needs a quad core? multicores were developed with performance in mind, BUT also in order to SAVE power...exactly the opposite behavior on SGS2...WTF? they can't optimize the GB for two cores, what's next: the phone that makes the party as a grill replacement device?
PS. I forgot, this is a "some devs" directed question: WITH 4 CORES, 3 SECS WAKE-UP LAG SHOULD BE REGARDED AS ACCEPTABLE, RIGHT?

Trolling as in ... what?
Two main issues with SGS2as it stands today-2.3.6: battery draining to Aos\wakelock and wake-up lag. Did you see any of these issues solved yet? No.
Extrapolate to 2.0G quadcore and 4.65 screen.

Lol what? A 2ghz quad-core? And my desktop is still just dual-core . I'm definitely not buying a phone that is more powerful than my PC

he said it was android4.0 but i dont sure.
maybe just a ics UI,maybe a real ics.

512MB ram, 624MHz + 260MHz processor, 480x800 resolution! Yeah, definately a beast. Samsung watch out, the Chinese strike again...
Oh, and it says Android 4.0 UI, I doubt it actually runs ICS.

Perfectly adequate for quite many uses. Not a gaming machine by a long shot, but for example someone with poor vision would definitely like the large screen, and with those specs it would browse the web just fine, handle e-mail and so on.

Atleast its specs are fine for ICS, and ICS is just as easy to compile as GB, so I see no reason why not.

It's probably adequate for minor tasks but such a large screen and a relatively low resolution on a low quality screen, I don't know... Definately not "holy ****" as far as I'm concerned. I doubt it's equiped with a decent GPU and that's one of the major requirements for running ICS.
Chances are it isn't even running Android, there are dozens of Chinese iPhone clones running a simple phone OS with iPhone icons and look.
Besides, how much support can you expect from these Chinese copycats as even the major companies are still struggling to update their top models to ICS?
Oh well, you get what you pay for I guess.

Compairing this and the original is obviously pointless. Yes, some people in China might buy it and yes, I'm sure they'll get some profit out of it.
As far as I'm concerned...I just wanna know if it's running real ICS. If it is...then I'm a bit pissed with our ORIGINAL Samsung devices

No, it's not. ICS can run even without any hardware-acceleration at all.

The MediaTek MTK6573 SoC is a fairly popular chip in use on hundreds of different existing Android-phones, there is no reason why it would suddenly run a non-Android OS on this one.
EDIT: Additional information here. Its video-playback capabilities are pretty poor and it only supports FWVGA resolutions, but aside from that it even sports a crude 3D-accelerator, and all the usual goodies like FM-radio, GPS, bluetooth, 802.11n, etc.

Now, this is just "Naughty"...

Just got an email from a site that has some "interesting" products for sale.

Suprising they're spitting out phones with those specs as of today. I mean, we're almost in Q4 of 2012.

No, no, no... You want the HDC I9300 Pro... It has the MTK6577 processor that goes to 2.0Ghz and has 1 Gb or ram... Its also dual sim (if you want it to be) with a normal sized sim &/or a micro sized sim. Or 2 normal sized sim if you want. White or Frost Blue. And only $210US... What a bargain....
Might be nice for a novelty, if you have a spare couple hundred floating around but I have other things to spend my money on...

Apple should sue!
OH, wait.

I guarantee you it's more like .8MP. I've seen China phones that were 12MP but in reality were 1.2 at best.
And if you've ever used a decent smart phone, let alone an S3 you would definately notice the difference. The knock-offs are horrible to use.

It can be an 8MP sensor but if the processing sucks it'll look like a 0.8MP shot.

I'm doing this comparaison because I'm about to swap my Xperia Play with Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra.
Any reasons to stick with Xperia Play ?

........It's not Alcatel
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

If ya dont need physical buttons and need more powah - indeed better to swap.
I will keep my play, even with lack of power for games, cuz touchscreen is awful controller for games, and i like that many functions(mediaplayer, game console, phone) united in one small enough device.
If ya not fan of hardware control - ya can swap.

I'd stay with the Play until it dies if I'm honest, it's still a really solid phone.

Unless you are not playing PSXperia, EPSXE or FPSE games (for that xPlay will be good enough forever), be free to upgrade your phone to any newest that you can buy...
Comparing hardware of 2013 and 2011 is just... Not comparable... Ofcorse new hardware will better then the old one, the question is, is old hardware good enough for your taste?
I am also planning on buying new phone in next few months (maybe Xperia L or SP), but xPlay will remain my PSX game platform (And it was her main purpose in the last one and the half year). Untill it die...

Keep your play 4 ever

"Any reasons to stick with Xperia Play ?"
You gotta be kidding me. Nothing, Absolutely nothing beats a controller when it comes to gaming. The mere sight of a smart phone that doesn't at least have a keyboard makes me throw up. I absolutely hate touch screen keyboards also, but that's something I realize I have to live with when it comes to modern day phones. My last phone was an N900 which had a keyboard, that was like 4 yrs ago. My current phone is now the xperia play and will be until i see another device with a controller or keyboard built in.
Just goes to show how much i hate touch screen only devices.

Thank you guys for replying and sharing me your opinions.
And to be honest, I lost my interest in gaming on mobiles since I bought an Xbox 360 ( 3 mounths ago ).
The only problem with this alcatel is it does not have a development forum here, so I think I will only miss custom ROMs, other than that I don't think I will regret my decision.

Sounds reasonable.
Im looking at the upgrading this way: what do I gain from 3 extra CPU cores ? Does it enable me many new possibilities ?
Does more GPU power/better graphics matter if I cant enjoy the game ?
IMO, Xplay has too small RAM and internal memory but I dont see any huge benefits in upgrading to new phone.
I bought a tablet that is decently powered but again, I dont see a huge added benefit of the power. Its mostly visible in web browsing.
