Samsung Nexus Prime set to dwarf iPhone 4/5?

Ok Cam, look at the date of this article> August 27, 2011 11:18 am EST....this is old news! todaysiphone.com needs to update their info once in a while. Tired of reading the same old articles.

I stand corrected. This is the first time a Nexus will be launching on AT&T or Verizon. The previous Nexus devices were not available on the large carriers at launch, so the had little chance of competing with the iPhone (or anything else).

Dell made a 5" phone to dwarf them all from the start! LOL. It must be the best smartphone so far. *rolls eyes*

Makes me wonder when ATT will get the next Nexus phone as it just got the Nexus S several weeks ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it gets pushed to late 2012 when Google once again has announced yet another OS update  that even the 2012 Galaxy S smartphone won't even see.

Don't say this until you've actually used the phone. Reviewers incessantly state the S2's battery life supersedes the iPhone 4's, but tis not so. They look at the specs; I used the damn phones to find out.

Build quality? You've clearly never used an iphone 4 and s2. Many (i.e., over 20) of my adult students sport the iphone 4 or the s2, and the s2's build quality is unequivocally better than the iphone 4's. I have never seen anyone try to argue the reverse until now. If you sincerely believe Samsung doesn't stand a change in terms of build quality, you need to wake up. 

The Nexus phones,at least in the US, haven't been released with carriers at launch. The only way to get the phone is by paying $500+. After four months, the Nexus S was first available at a cheaper price with a two-year contract from a carrier. iPhone have always launched with a carrier, so you can get it on day 1for $200 with a contract. This is the first time a Nexus will be available at a carrier-subsidized price from launch day.

Planning on buying a newer version of Office every time one comes out your whole life? I haven't bought an Office product in years. We have a multi-license copy of Office XP, so we put that on all our new computers, and we've never needed to update to a different version of Office. It's from 2003, it works with everything, and it doesn't have those damn ribbons. If you constantly upgrade to new versions of Office on your personal computer, you're doing it wrong. You don't do it, so don't argue as if it's a relevant part of any debate.

Have used SG S2 since May! It feels cheap, plastic... the only good thing about it is the screen and thicknes! Yes, screen is beautiful and the phone is really thin! Battery life is totally crap and apps keep crashing more frequent then your eyes blink! Not impressed with it at all, it's heading for ebay next week! And i don't think smart phones should have screens above 4"

It's Andriod that says it all I go windows phone or iPhone. I've had all three windows 6.5/7, later/current, and iOS plus some hands on with webOS. Andriod maybe cool with customization but stability it doesn't come near iOS or Windows. Windows may look stupid, but I dig over andrones!

Most of the men are obsessed with size ! Recent days number of blogs compare iPhone with screen size of Android phones and use phrases like dwarfing, beast etc. Well they r right. iPhone has a smaller screen and will remain smaller to the biggest one at any pont of time. It is very simple we want a phone not a beast which begins to border tablet and sucks juice by displaying / liting extra space on screen.

Not necessarily blown away, but iPhone won't be the front-runner in this head-to-head battle. They're gonna lack some tech. Let's just hope Google finds a good way to market and sell this one. 

and this is why im switching to verizon....

If Google ever gets Android OS updates consistent and pushes out significant point updates/bug fixes with some regularity, I may consider another Android phone. Until then, no amount of superior hardware specs are going to change my mind. iOS is what make the iPhone superior.

(This is coming from an Android fan, just being REAL; YES, I'm a FANBOY.) Bottomline: Apple has been one of the absolute BEST in display AND design. Retina display gives you higher resolution while still giving you great natural unbleed colors, while Samsung SAMOLED is great, it's just really extremely OVER saturated color with less pixels. I'd rather have higher res and natural colors anyday over an over saturated extra bright display with less pixels. And another thing, Apple has always been very durable with battery life, idk wth some of you people are talking about honestly, because iPhone's battery surely lastest longer than any Android device. Oh, and everyone knows Apple is second to none, with HTC following closely behind in design. Samsung on the otherhand has never been know for making sexy devices!

Who wants to carry a 4.5" phone around all day? It's basically a tablet haha. Nothing beats iPhone, nothing!

Holy shit-talking Batman! I came looking for news not slobber. I want a "Prime" badly, but i don't feel like i'll get any real info here. Elsewhere, i goes...

Android phones sold more this year then iphone. The difference is u have choices to which android phone best fits u while. So sells are spread. To many different phones thenn you have all the peopple who buy iphones because they dont know there's better phones. Out there :)

Wasn't the evo, nexus one, samsung epic, droid x...weren't they all suppose to be a beast compared to the iPhone and yet they got smoked...let's face it iOS just runs better and it's easier to use...this prime will come for about a month it will be top android phone but not beat iPhone and then boom another so called beast of android phone comes out...say what you will about IOS, but they make a phone and improve it over a period of time until they release the next one. And if the new iPhone is a GSM/CDMA phone that means people can switch carriers but keep their phones...I switch to sprint had no other choice but to give up my iphone 4 and got the evo which is a nice phone but battery life and a wonky android OS I would have rather stayed with my iPhone 4

Thank you for not being like that other iPhone-related publication that can't write an article about Android without calling it a phone exclusively for geeks (amongst other misinformation).

I feel sorry for those who constantly whine and rave about hardware specs while largely oblivious to the fact that we live in the 21st century; processors and graphic capabilities of most devices are already powerful enough to run a decent OS. In a few years, processor power won't be the primary bottleneck anymore, it will be the battery life instead. As such, the OS of a device and the ecosystem it thrives on are the most important factors in determining the success of a product. I can already hear Android fans screaming 'open source', mods and customizations. Though there is more freedom in Android, Apple has established a safe and conducive ecosystem for not only customers but also app developers. Besides, their software is made to run on their custom chip. That's why a underclocked 1GHz A4 chip can still kick the Samsung Galaxy S' ass. Besides, Apple's hardware quality is second to none. With all this factors taken into consideration, it is no wonder they're the most valuable company in the world right now and the iPhone - the most successful phone, heck, it's the most successful and sought after mobile device in the world. Thus, I see Apple's iPhone to continue kicking Google's ass for years to come. Android will not die off, it's too good to die but I see it becoming a niche product for techno geeks who enjoy  customizations and modding their phones. My humble opinion guys. Please don't troll and yep, I'm a fanboy sue me ; )

The Nexus Prime will have a slightly larger screen, but the ratio is 16:9 according to the available info. That means it shouldn't be any larger than the Galaxy S II, so if you don't find it too big, the Prime should be just right.

lately i have been hearing that the nexus prime's screen is too large and it will make the phone too big, but the next version of android (ice cream sandwich) is supposed to get rid of the buttons on the bottom of the phone and put them on the screen. if that is true, the phone wont be any larger than the nexus s.

4.5" is too much for a screen size if you ask me. But whatever, it won't beat the iPhone 5 in sales or performance.

stop hating on iphone!!! lol its a good product, good design, large selection of apps, easy to use OS. Yet everyone always compare everything to iPhones weather its iPhone 4 or even iPhone 5 a phone which is yet to be released. I think apple has a great balance of right size and processing power. Faster processor is definitely a yes in my opinion, but also a down side for battery life. If the next iphone even comes our with a 1.0 or 1.2 ghz dual processor that's pretty fast. As for screen size, yes the bigger the better ( thats what she said...) but too big might not be so comfortable in your pocket, and again battery life is an issue. I think iphone 5 or what ever the 5th gen iphone will be called, will do pretty good even in comparison with other next gen ph.

No news here

Why would anyone want a 4.5 inch screen?? You might as well try to stick a tablet in your pocket!! Id love to see a 4 inch max on any phone, apple or not! As far as the title goes, iPhone 5 is the highest anticipated phone to date. Check your sources. Anyone who says apple sucks either can't afford one or has never used one!

I think that the specs aren't everything. My Mac runs an Intel Core 2 Duo, but it still runs faster than my friends' 8-core monster PC at home.  

Lol big screen, powerful CPU all good yes as most know android doesn't managed the power very well. We shall see how long the battery will last.
