    New Nexus!,no specs yet but there's pricing.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭DECEiFER


    I've seen rumors of the Snapdragon S4 Pro (the same chip that's in the Nexus 4) or a Snapdragon 600. Nobody knows for sure. Can't wait for this event. Hope 4.3 does get announced with a release date almost instantly afterward!

    My money is on new Nexus 7, 4.3 and new camera app - based on the numerous rumours I've read.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,869 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Pity it wasn't released at that price in retail outfits in the states last week when I was over there, would probably have picked one up. I'm sure we will experience the same supply issues here as with other recent nexus devices which will be all sorts of fun. Hopefully they will have estimated supply and demand better this time anyhow and might see a retail release here sooner rather than later.

    Due to the somewhat slower iterative releases of android in the last year or so, I would guess the Nexus 5 release later this year will still be on 4.3 or maybe a smaller iteration like 4.3.1 or so. I can't see Android 5 that soon anyhow, but you never know I guess.

    Is 4.3 going to be Key Lime Pie by the way?

    If Google continue the trend of launching new Google phones in Q4, I reckon we might see KLP/5.0 just before year end.


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,869 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Ok, if this isn't KLP then I agree it is likely we will see that this year, presumably in tandem with a new Nexus phone in October or so.

    Something about sandwiches


    I thought they said that KLP is coming out in October?

    What was released last week? Nexus 7 2 isn't out yet.

    Who said?

    Google haven't even officially confirmed 4.3 so they definitely haven't confirmed or given a release date for KLP.

    4.3 has been showing up in logs the last 3 months or so, its definitely imminent, KLP we hope should come out for Androids 5 year anniversary in October, but sure no one knows if this will be the case or not....

    would they actually hold an event just for android 4.3? I doubt this will be the motorola announcement?? i think the new nexus

    With the larger bezel above and below, and with the Nexus logo orientated the way it is on the back, it looks like they want you to hold it in landscape, which is bizarre. Don't think I like that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭mrmanunited


    That bezel looks crazy, a bit like a plastic bigger version of the htc one...

    I hope 4.3 resolves the restating issue of the nexus 10...

    Only issue I had was with Chrome rebooting - believe there is/was an issue with Chrome not playing nicely with latest version of JB and crashing. I switched to the Chrome beta some months back and no problems since.

    I assume this is happening at 9am PST tomorrow, so 5pm our time?

    Time to return that Nexus 7 I purchased 2 weeks ago :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭mrmanunited


    Will the current nexus get even cheaper?! They're already so cheap for a superb product!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 5,575 ✭✭✭AlanS181824

    Yeah, pretty much inevitable that the current product will be reduced when the new one is released.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,243 ✭✭✭DECEiFER

    I reckon they'll stop making them and sell the remaining stock cheaper. Either that or they'll continue production of it and keep the existing price, while inserting the new model into a higher price tier. It would be great if a third option was considered; that is to keep going production on the first Nexus 7, drop its price and offer it as a super-budget alternative to the already budget price-point that exists where the new Nexus 7 could be inserted.

    I guess Google wouldnt want sales to eat into the new product but I would love to see that happen, get android tablets to everyone. There are already dirt cheap ones out there, but none of the same quality.
