[Updated] Rumor Analysis: Is A New Galaxy Nexus With A TI OMAP4470 CPU Really In The Works?

Posted by in Editorials, Galaxy Nexus, Rumors

A rumor has begun circulating over the past week about the possible existence of an upgraded version of the just-released Galaxy Nexus. At CES, ASUS announced the TF700T, a beefier version of the Transformer Prime (well before the first Transformer Prime has even been released in many countries), leaving a lot of people who bought the first iteration a bit upset. Are Google and Samsung following ASUS's lead and planning on releasing an incremental upgrade to the Galaxy Nexus so soon?

Don't worry, though. The winter of your discontent is about to come to an end. The Galaxy Nexus will be landing on Canadian carrier WIND on February 3rd.

[Deal Alert] Verizon Galaxy Nexus Just $99.99 For New Customers At Amazon Wireless

Posted by in Deals, Galaxy Nexus, Verizon Wireless

Google's latest wunderphone, the Galaxy Nexus, normally runs a pricey $300 on contract when purchased through Verizon. Luckily, competition brings down prices - sometimes dramatically - and it's on sale now at Amazon for just $99.99 with free 2-day shipping for incoming Verizon customers (it's still $259.99 for those who are upgrading). Quite the discount, and 100 bones for  such a mind-blowing device is quite the steal indeed.

In comparison, Wirefly is selling the GNexus for $230 for both new and upgrading customers. Thus, if you're heading to Verizon as a new customer, best to go through Amazon. Those looking to upgrade should head to Wirefly.

Review And Comparison: Otterbox Commuter And Defender Cases For The Galaxy Nexus

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, Other Reviews

Cases - some people love them, others hate them. Regardless of how you feel about them, there is one truth: they're useful and help keep your device in top condition. A quick look through eBay or Craigslist will prove the value of keeping your gear in a case - when trying to sell a device most users put "has been in a case since day one" or something similar (whether it's true or not). That assures the buyer that they are getting a near-mint condition piece of kit.

When it comes to top-notch device protection, one name often comes to mind: Otterbox.

[Update: Internal Storage Correction] CES 2012: Sprint Officially Announces Its First 4G LTE Devices - The 32GB Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper

Posted by in 4G, Galaxy Nexus, LG, News, Samsung, Sprint, Viper
Last Updated: January 10th, 2012

Looks like last week's leaked Sprint ad for the Galaxy Nexus was right on the money - The Now Network just officially announced the GN as one of its first 4G LTE devices, alongside the LG Viper.

Even though Sprint has decided to make the GN official, there is still one immediate question looming about: what is the clock speed? Truth be known - we still don't know. The press release is void of any hardware specs, so we'll just have to wait and see if the processor is running at a full 1.5GHz as previously rumored.

Update: When asked about the processor speed in Sprint's Nexus, this is what Sammy had to say:

As for the Galaxy Nexus, Samsung is excited about the reaction the Galaxy Nexus has received in the U.S.

The Galaxy Nexus Is Coming To Rogers And Telus In Canada On January 13th

Posted by in Galaxy Nexus, News, Rogers, TELUS

While Canadian carriers Virgin and Bell have had Google's newest flagship phone gracing their shelves since December 8th of last year (that makes it sound so long ago, doesn't it?), competitors Rogers and Telus are finally getting their piece of the Nexus pie on January 13th.

There is no word on pricing at this point, but the competition launched the device for around CA$160 on a three-year agreement, so we expect the above mentioned duo to come out of the gate with similar pricing.
