But in that case they'd have to be really altering the aspect ratio, which i doubt they'd do, it would look out of proportion

It looks like tey are introducing curved screens - which can potentially wrap around the sides/top and bottom of the handset... just wait & see what arrives next week

Well they probably will be altering the aspect ratio, rumour is 1280x720, so 16:9 instead of the Nexus S's 5:3.

Nexus S screen dimensions were 3.43x2.06 (inches). The phone itself was 4.88x2.48.

If the Prime is 4.5" diagonal, at 1280x720, the screen dimensions would be 3.9x2.2, which would fit inside the Nexus S form factor (just)

I think i'll be getting this phone.

I loved my Nexus One and have had bad look with any phones since then.

I have a Sony radio, works with my iPod touch or my girlfriend's iPhone 3GS. It does not work with my android phone, although if I play with it a bit it might (i'll test straight after work and let people know...)

I have a similar set-up and can either connect my phone through Bluetooth or just plug my usb cable directly into the phone. I usually prefer connecting it through usb as it also charges the phone.

Final specs as leaked (or guessed)

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
9mm thin
4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
1GB of RAM
32GB of built-in storage
5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front
1080p HD video capture support
LTE/HSPA depending on carrier
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
NFC
1,750 mAh battery

not impressed with the 5mp camera on the back. would rather see 8mp.

also, only 1.2GHz dual core!

[JohnK]

Yeah those seem a bit low alright

is the a9 chip 4 better than an a5?

Wrong question. The A5 is a "system on a chip", it actually contains a Cortex A9 processor inside it. The actual comparison would be between the A5 and the TI OMAP 4460:

A5
Processor: Cortex A9 1GHz dual-core
GPU: PowerVR SGX543MP2

OMAP 4460
Processor: Cortex A9 1.5GHz dual-core
GPU: PowerVR SGX540

If the Prime specs mentioned above are true, then it will have a significantly faster CPU, but the iPhone's GPU will be much better. It's a dual-core one that's more than a year newer than the Prime's

[draffodx]

^ Highly unlikely to be the final specs, it'll have an 8 megapixel camera minimum I'd imagine.

[5starpool]

Would be 2 big phone launches in a week that have underwhelmed if those specs are correct.

[Zonda999]

I'd be skeptical enough about those specs to be brutally honest, especially about 32gb of storage being the standard, for most people 16gb is just fine, i would have thought anyway..
