Yep, ZDNet and other sources have the same scoop. Rumored to be 5" screen and quad core - more than likely a similar config to the Note 2.
lol.. I cant wait to see what goodies the new S4 will hold.... My current S2 is keeping my happy, by the time LTE even gets to me in Los Angeles county, the S3 wouldn't be useful for me and I'd have wanted the next S.X model
Can't wait till early 2014. We'll probably have the S6 by then. I like big upgrades, not incremental upgrades.

Well, this basically just stopped me from buying the S3
I'm just, sorta, glad that i don't live in a market with 4g or lte and there's no plans in the future for either. Sad about that but less pressure for my wants and desires..

I...highly doubt..that the S4 will be released that soon. Samsung's not dumb.
The only reason they would put out a true successor so soon would be if the technologies involved were fantastic enough. In my mind, that would be a 1080p screen and the exynos 5. Those two probably would warrant a quicker push simply to be very far ahead of the pack.
Though I can't shake this feeling that we'll be seeing the exynos 5 in the next nexus, probably this fall. Nexus' are very much reference models, and releasing the first A15 as a nexus just sounds like such a good idea.

Samsung always gimps the nexus line of phones so that its galaxy line will sell better. I seriously doubt the next nexus will have the a15 soc, probably the krait. Google needs to give someone else a shot on the next nexus cuz Samsung is not trying to sell out its own galaxy line, I'm not impressed with the past 2 nexus devices.

Wish the new phone was wimax/LTE so I can have a new phone to use till LTE comes out on the west coast.
They shouldnt go with a 5 inch screen. They have note for bigger screens.

As long as the phones actual dimensions do not get bigger (5.5" x 2.5"ish) then it'll be fine for most people i guess. I envision the phone being "launched" like the galaxy s2 intl' at MWC with actual phones becoming on sale near the end of april/early may. Makes most sense with Sammys 1 year upgrade cycle.
Well seeing I am new to the E4GT. I am enjoying my S2. Come next year, I might be interested in the S4. Hopefully it will have newer features and improvements to make the phone stay very popular like the S2 and my old phone HTC EVO 4G. So far I am enjoying Samsung over HTC.
Now lets see this holiday season if Samsung and HTC throw dirty balls at Apple to delay the I5.

Its google's decision for the specs, they're trying to support more SoC and prove a point its not about power but software. Samsung simply just makes it. If was up to Samsung we would've seen an SD card support already for the nexus
line. I just hate their plastic built.

I think Samsung releasing a S4 would be a good way to give the iPhone 5 some good competition in the first and second quarter of next year.
Why else would the be pushing the S3 right now? They want to sell as many S3's as they can so they can still finish out this year in the lead of all the competition. Then release the S4 to start the year next year.

The next new software feature that the S4 will have is called, "make puns and insults about iPhone". My favorite feature lol..

That's really just an assumption more than anything else. Considering that most devices have well over a year of development cycle, and that the Google-Motorola deal wasn't finalized too long ago, it probably won't be until next summer that we see the fruits of the relationship.
Samsung still seems like the clear favorite for the next nexus, considering only their manufacturing prowess. HTC has too many problems right now, and LG's just don't sell well. Now Asus...I could really get on board with an Asus made phone. I'd argue they are on a similar plane as Samsung, albiet a slightly different one. Samsung's big advantage is their experience as a fab and foundry. Asus obviously has a celebrated PC motherboard heritage. Both are very good at engineering and design.
Could you imagine a joint-device between them? It will never happen, but I would weed-wack my grandmother for an Asus engineered, Samsung sourced and manufactured, Google coded device.

We are always going to be behind with software. This is the Google's and Manufacturer's fault. I have the Galaxy Nexus in my hand today and I had the GS2 for 2 months already there is nothing that Galaxy Nexus has that GS2 doesn't and we have to wait for this **** manufacturer's to release updates. The GS2 is faster and more conferable in hand.
If anyone has any questions ask me I'll try to answer.

I won't go as far as to say that the Galaxy S II is the better phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and it was great other then a couple defects I ran into. The software on the Galaxy Nexus will most likely be better then what makes its way to the GSII and the notification led on the Nexus is the best one I have seen on any phone. The Galaxy S II has a way better camera and has been a lot more reliable.
Both are great phones. Its really hard to say which one is better.
I say your essentially buying the same phone twice. Besides ics and a few other differences they are basically the same phone.

I agree with you, we have a better hardware and behind on software, until Samsung >Tmobile give us the update we are on old software we have to thank the devs so much for makeing the rom's.

I'm sure theirs been a long thread discussing this already. Everyone feels strongly opinionated and there is no true winner. They both have pros and cons. If I HAD to choose I would go with the Nexus hands down for the fact that its a nexus phone and development will be great. ICS seems amazing and the display as well.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Oh man, you guys completely ignore the screen issue our GS2 has. If it was a good screen, had a exynos then it would be better than the nexus. International GS2 fits in that category.
Okay.. I own and love both phones and these types of threads are entirely subjective and flame prone. Holding a phone in your hand is NOT a valid explanation for why a phone is better than another. You need to have plenty of hands-on time to really know the pro's and con's of both. (And neither is immune to either.)

most of us dont even notice the issue until someone mention it(i didnt know this until i heard about it..and i always use my phone in the dark..)
Man we buy the phones for $500 to $600 and we have to cry to get some software updates thats the thing. Google shouldn't relese the update till all the major manufacturers have their updates ready as well. If it goes like this we are going to get ICS end of the year, after original Galaxy s 2 i9100 gets it then we get it and that's the question if the carriers put thirty **** in there. So we looking at till September when Google will unveil the 5.0

if you read on the i9250 forum, they too have the screen problem, and their screen is 720
other than ICS which we'll get, the only other difference is the Barometer sensor
otherwise the i9250 is actually under grade, they even got a major issue with the storage and MTP, and fake sdcard to make old Apps compatible, but even so, there are still Apps that are still not compatible

Ill take external SD support, 8mp cam over the galaxy nexus anyday. This whole the nexus is better crap is dumb all it has is ics and even ics isn't that amazing i used it on the sensation for two weeks and its really good. It adds plenty of things that are pleasant and well done now on android. The bad is apps still need to be updated but the sensation outclassed the galaxy nexus with ics as it is and once we get it this phone will be above the nexus. People buy a phone and always look for something to complain about the screen issue is annoying if you notice it but I'm hoping supercurio makes a fix for us. Either way my use isn't affected except for maybe 5% of the time and even then its just not pleasant to look at. There are a handful of phones that once they have ics will make the nexus look out dated galaxy s 2, amaze 4g, rezound, razr, etc.... development is just slowed from these phones being new and because developing gingerbread might be worthless if ics is here in a couple months.

Ha-ha that's how I felt at first too but being on my second day now it's actually pretty easy. The hardest part for me was not hitting the damn home button instead of the space bar.

I'm having that problem now currently with the SG2 haha. Second day with the phone (last phone was MT4G) and every other time when hitting the space bar I hit one of the "hard" buttons on the bottom. Slowly getting used to it though.
I will say - if the Nexus had an equal or better camera than the SG2, I would probably return this and get that instead, especially as there's supposed to be a white one coming out. But I use my phone's camera A LOT, and it's an important feature for me, so the Nexus is out right there. I don't know why they'd release a 'flagship' phone with semi out-of-date specs. With iphone 4, SG2, and many others coming out with 8 megapixels, why would Google only do 5?? Anyway...
notification led on galaxy nexus is really badass too, +1 for that
Im going to donate a tmobile galaxy s2 to the first dev that makes a fully working ics rom for t989.

Lol, well the GS2 is a vast improvement over the myTouch 4G. (I loved that phone when it first came out too, lol.)
I think the Nexus camera has a lot of software issues. It is okay but i think it will get better as Google picks up the slack. Hell they paused the latest update for reasons unknown but people have reported much better stats all around with the leaked 4.0.3 that has been lurking around. I truly believe people make a bigger deal than what is necessary about both of these phones. Why try to argue one over the other? They are both great! As i said previously, both have pro's and con's but i think either or should be enough to satisfy the vast majority of users.

I'm due for an upgrade in the near future but unfortunately the Galaxy Nexus has already been around for a while. I don't want to end up with another Dinc situation where I get mine a year late, all the good devs leave and we have little support left.
So do you think (Opinions here people) this phone will still be worth getting when I upgrade or should I go with the next big thing?
A new nexus should be coming out by the end of the year, so my answer would be no.

Depends on the price. This phone is still a nexus and will get the next Android version. The specs for the GN are more than sufficient over the long haul.

If you can afford better then there will be better available by November... in fact there will be better available in a few weeks time when the galaxy s3 comes out.. you won't have to wait until November to find something better than the gnex

Last Nov, the Nexus S was still around $400 on Amazon (still same price even today ). Hardware wise, this GN will be in better shape comes this Nov than the Nexus S was last Nov.
When the new Nexus comes out, it'll be in $650-700 range again (unless Google decides then to also sell the new Nexus at $399), so this current one at $400 is still a great deal.
Come November I would get the new Nexus.
As others have said... we'll see the next Nexus device in November. Galaxy Nexus will be cheap and still good (enough) though.
The phone will be a year old. Wait for a more recent release.
I think Google needs to stick with imagination technologies gpu's. For lots of reasons, including an apple one.

Nexus 4 will potentially be released around Dec./Jan. so Id hold off. By then the GNex will have dwindled down to Tier 2 hardware.
I have Nexus S and software speaking GNex and NS are almost the same, ignoring the few advantages GNex has because of the hardware.
My sister got Galaxy S3 few days ago and now I want a new phone as well lol. Since I'm gonna dump a $***load of money, and I much more prefer Nexus dev phone rather than TouchWiz or anything manufacturer related, should I wait for the next quad core (and better camera, since that 2 things are bugging me about GNex) or buy this one.
I know how having a Nexus rocks, all the roms, tweaks, ports available for my Nexus S are just awesome, so I can imagine what to expect for this one or the future one!

I guess that's the cool thing about a Nexus phone, even when the next one comes out, this one will still be relevant.
It's not like the jump from dual core to quad will be as significant IMO as single to dual.
Such as the GNex can and will leave the N1 and Nexus S in the dust in the following years, the next Nexus will take much longer to leave the GNex in the dust.
Clearly under par GPU on nexus ...wait for the next one and hope its better! Then buy it
Note that the price of the new Nexus could be twice as much compared to the current price of Galaxy Nexus.
But if money is not a problem, buy this, then buy the next Nexus when it comes out
Just wait it out. As good as the GN is, it's not that big of a jump from your current phone.

I doubt very highly that the next iteration of the Nexus phone will be called the Galaxy Nexus 2. Historically, there's not been much precedent for that, unless you count the G1 and G2, but that was before the Nexus moniker. Nothing was announced about it at Google I/O, so I would suspect the next Nexus phone is a long way off.

I'm Hoping its something more in the vein of the Nexus One where it was a completely unique device with nothing like it on the market.
So I ordered a nexus 4 awhile back and then got a sweet deal on a galaxy nexus. After my nexus 4 came in the mail i played with it awhile and realized the quad core was only really good for gaming, the 2 gigs of ram is good if you use alot of widgets i suppose but i don't. after taking everything into consideration i decided i liked my nexus better. nexus 4 was going for 5 to 600 on craigslist.sold nexus 4 for 550 and bought 1 year of straight talk minutes for nexus..

Not true. I loved my Galaxy Nexus, but it just started chugging for me. For basic operations, it was fine, but it started to lag here and there. Also, the screen's protective layer started peeling off and it was annoying to scroll or just generally slide my finger on the screen. I thought those were good enough reasons to switch, so I sold my Galaxy Nexus for $250, and paid $170 extra for a lot more horsepower, but I will probably not enjoy the glass back and the non-removable battery.

I wanted to buy Nexus 4, but then I (after quite some time) flashed stock Android and realized how fast actually GNex is. N4 is great and all, but just not enough for me to spend any money. I'll wait for the next year...

Its more open than both the s4 pro and tegra 3. And it is in a nexus device. The nexus 10 which had no problems getting into aosp. The s4 based nexus 4 had trouble with licensing. The exynos is not closed it just took samsung forever to get documentation out for the exynos 4. The exynos 5 is used in a nexus device and will have extensive documentation. Much better than what people will have to deal with on s4 pro. Qualcomm is propably one of the most closed soc makers out there.

Not true. I loved my Galaxy Nexus, but it just started chugging for me. For basic operations, it was fine, but it started to lag here and there. Also, the screen's protective layer started peeling off and it was annoying to scroll or just generally slide my finger on the screen. I thought those were good enough reasons to switch, so I sold my Galaxy Nexus for $250, and paid $170 extra for a lot more horsepower, but I will probably not enjoy the glass back and the non-removable battery.

Glad you're happy with your choice, but a bit confused about the description.... I've yet to hear of a protective layer on the Galaxy Nexus screen that could peel off, unless you're talking about the plastic film on the screen that you are supposed to remove when unboxing the phone. The glass is a"fortified" glass, similar to gorilla glass, hardened based on composition, heat and pressure. There has been speculation about an oleophobic coating, but that would be a chemical bath if anything, not any kind of peelable layer.... I believe you may be the first to report a peeling galaxy nexus screen...
Regarding your observation that it started to lag... there is nothing in the hardware that would age or degrade and cause lagging. The battery is perhaps the only part that ages with use, and that can be replaced in a minute or two. If you were seeing lag, it was likely due to configuration or an app taking more than its share of resources. Apps link Currents like to do background syncing, and when they do, your only indication that it's happening is a lagging UI in whatever else you're doing. A bit of house cleaning, or even a ROM and/or kernel update could probably have made the device fly again...

IMO that's why the Nexus 4 is not in AOSP and why the Nexus4 may not see full AOSP support, but instead a more hobbled form. It probably wouldn't have an effect now, but down the road it will. The only other Snapdragon Nexus was the Nexus One.

"Only other"? You do realize that makes Qualcomm the most popular chip maker for nexus phones right? 2/4.
