I think they look gorgeous!

Black model is great !
uh.. Definitly a YES. First thing to do is to swipe through it with finger tops..(I hope it's not "praying to fly out of the hand" material)
What the.....
This cant be real, i will switch from g2 if this is real. This is Samsung Killer
Looks nice indeed, but the sheer size of it and 5.5" + 2K display running on the same battery capacity as the G2 doesn't really add up. Makes the phone a bit tough to consider. Things may change on the announcement day, though.
I dont think those are official pics. They are press renders of all leaks.

BUT s801 is more advanced and eventually consumes less energy. People would hope it's a smaller production set but i don't think it's gonna be s805(with s805 it would be total overkill)
But I'm pretty happy with my g2. Let us face it - whatever phone you buy - you will make 1st impression. After few days you will develop more impressions: negative and positive(yes..every product (stuff..) has : "I like this, I don't like that, people react different to what they see, feel, hear etc..).
This phone will be a mistake if it comes with SD801, it demands SD805 to couple with 2K screen.
The top competition is also on SD801, but they will be rendering much less pixels on FHD screens, so definitely, games will be much more slugish on G3.
It will be FHD 2,073,600 pixels VS QHD 3,686,400 pixels, something around 75% more pixels.
I wish they kept the bottom bezel clear glass as the G2.

I know these aren't the official photos as most mentioned it's just a leak renders but if it happens to be what we see here when they announce it on the 27th of this month I will make my first jump to LG.

I love it... Very nice. I do think this is how it will look because it matches every single leak I have seen, just a lot clearer photo
I hope it turns out exactly as pictured! Its gorgeous! Even thought rumors says it will have a SD801...I'm hoping for the SD805 for future proofing as well as directly competing to the rumored S5 prime. Regardless...the black/Gray G3 will be mine when it releases!

Dont have my g2 long enough to switch.. Looks really great.. German websites as giga.de or androidpit are excepting an sd805. I think it will be so. An 801 is imo not enough for a 2014 flagship

Looks amazing...
I just bought G2 recently and that's been a blast but heck this G3 takes it to another level...
I want and I want it now! Black or gold plz.
It will fail if it will be sd801 + 2k display... that doesnt make any sense :\ Anyway design is beautiful
This phone will come with S805
Phonearena said S801 is for G3 prototype.
And qualcomm said S805 phone will come at may

if snapdragon 600 can handle FHD, 801 can handle QHD without breaking a sweat. For me a minor frame rate drop wouldn't matter cause I yawn @ gaming.

A prevalent question on these Nitro forums is whether or not to buy it...As compared to <whatever> phone. I think the most common comparison is with the Samsung Galaxy S2.
The problem is, the GS2 is an 800x480 resolution phone. To get an idea of why that doesn't make sense, go ahead and set your laptop's screen resolution to 800x600. How's that look to you? Now walk over to your computer and set it to 1280x800, how's that?
Not exactly a controlled and scientific comparison right? Different systems, different screens, different just about everything.
IMHO, if you're considering the Nitro and want to compare it to something?...Then there's really only 1 other phone (in the US, anyway); the HTC Rezound which has the exact same CPU/GPU chipset and 1280x720 screen (LCD though, not IPS). You could also compare with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, there's a LOT of variances there too but it's one of the only phones that also has the 1280x720 screen.
I stress the commonality of 1280x720 because not everything works properly (or even at all) when trying to display at this resolution and also there's potential draw delays to compensate. So make sure you're looking at the other phones that could share this same hurdle so you set your expectations accordingly.
good points, thanks!
To add two more 720P phones were announced at ces coming to AT&T. The Sony Xperia Ion and the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD.
@Namura: Appreciate the "cold water" treatment. might make others think twice both for flaming the P930 and the comparison to other units.
@Kindawack: prototypes/announced phones don't figure into what he is talking about, as they are not market launched yet.
Knock it off all stay on topic and stop arguing, doesn't belong on xda!!!

Yeah, I wonder about the validity of their info as well. Considering the Samsung Note LTE for AT&T was only announced yesterday at CES...With the only confirms being 1.5GHz Qualcomm chipset (but no verification as to which model) and availability as "in the coming months"...Whereas that pdadb shows it as releasing in Feb and has the same APQ8060 chip as our Nitro.
man, i am way past waiting for the next kick ass phone to be released. I had been waiting since the droid bionic announcement (the 1st one ;-0) prior to getting this nitro.
not playing the *let's give it another month and see what's released* game no mo!
!
Yup, I agree. I spent 5 months waiting for nothing..... as each day passes I'm more and more pleased with the Nitro.

I am constantly hoping for a CWM breakthrough for our phone but then I remember that I am actually 100% satisfied with my rooted, debloated, blue icon and battery mod, go launcher ex Nitro, then I don't worry about CWM as much.
Same here. As long I am rooted, debloated, custom launcher (zean) and sim unlocked I am good. Custom roms would nice but a lot of time, they are a pain to keep up.

I know benchmarks dont mean squat, but I am surprised how Nitro HD fairs well in any 3D benchmarks especially with 720p screen and sub-optimised soft. See attached Antutu benchmark. Barely behind Galaxy Nexus with ICS.
I just fired up Shadowgun and it does drop a frame here and there. No Tegra afterall but 4.5 inch 720p is looking better than I remember playing on Atrix 4G.
LMAO
IPS is just one type of LCD,
IPS, MVA, PVA, ASV are all good screen types,
the only bad screen is TN, which is never used on high end android devices.
AMOLED sucks IMO, over saturated, and your vision killer. Dont even mention most of the AMOLED on the market is pentile display.

The Galaxy S III is Samsung's new flagship smartphone and it's finally broken cover at the company's stand-alone Mobile Unpacked event here in London. With a steady stream of fakes, outright leaks and even event rescheduling, Samsung's claimed almost crazy levels of interest for its new smartphone. Weighing in at 133g (4.7 ounces) and whittled to 8.6mm at its thickest, the rounded-off design has more than a little bit in common with its Galaxy Nexus cousin. Of course, it's Samsung's new 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad processor doing the legwork, and there's 1GB of RAM to help it out. The display has been bumped up in size to a 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED affair, sporting a 1280 x 720 pixel count. Happy snappers will have an 8-megapixel rear shooter to play with, and a 1.9-megapixel eye on the front will take care of those video calls. If you were wondering about radios, it's launching with HSPA+, but there's an LTE version in the cards. As for the interface, it's TouchWiz on top of Android 4.0 again, and there's new gesture functions to help you get around. So, there it is, the phone we've all been waiting for (until the next one) but that's not all, be sure to check our hands-on coverage and additional features for the in-depth breakdown.

Looking sexy but I gotta wait like another year, so Galaxy S IV here I come! Our galaxy s2's can stand the test of time though
First!!
Had to be that guy for once ;]
ALSO, I wish it had the 12mp shooter, but we will see what GSIII is for the states, namely Sprint.
I'll change my screen density to 160. Now I got SIII.
Anyone know the battery mAh yet? Interesting device, looks like it's only got a home button now? Unless it pulled an international SGSII and has the menu and back button on the sides. Can't tell.

So far it looks meh.
Any benchmarks anywhere?

The TW ICS status bar is pretty bad looking, hardly a difference from Gingerbread. They would've gotten me more excited with an AOSP style status bar, but I guess that's something I'll have to do, myself.

the question now becomes, will it be the same footprint as our battery so we can buy one and use it in our phones
So far, HTC One X us version/ Evo 3g lte looks better -
better screen, better camera.
The only thing this phone still has is samsung hardware accelerated apps + possible faster cpu/gpu.
I was actually looking forward to this, but am a bit underwhelmed, its just meh to me for some reason lol.
I don't think its that much of an upgrade from our phone to the SGIII.
S Voice? Sounds like a Siri competitor.

It'll end up being a hit regardless because it's dubbed "quad core".
dont get me wrong im not saying ill never own one but i wont be all waiting like a school girl 6 months for it ..... Ill pickup the EVO LTE first
I'll be waiting for the final product before I decide but I'm definitely going to skip the HTC since my current phone still makes me happy.

Holy cow. That thing is beautiful. Maybe they've been listening to the customers by bringing back the SD slot etc. The choice of colours is pretty nice too. Also, anyone have any clarification on what this "with Google" thing is about, is it something to do with the multi-manufacturer/multi-nexus information we had a while ago, or is it simply going to be placed on all android phones in future?

"With Google" I suspect it is a branding that is gong to be coming to all devices running JB out of the gate going forward.
As nice as this device looks, is this supposed to compete with the Note 2? It seems to have no extra software tailored to use the extra real estate in any meaningful way over the One S even. Likewise 2000mAh battery on a 1080p screen? Unless the sharp screen technology is extremely energy efficient or I'd be surprised to see the device push 3 hours of screen on time at automatic brightness, which given its push as a media consuming / watching device because of its full HD screen is a bit woeful.
To me the device is a bit like 'the emperors new clothes'.... But damn they are sexy clothes.....

I think you're right, it's neither here or there in terms of size. If they were going to go direct with the Samsung they needed a bigger battery (at least 3000mah) and a 5.5 inch screen. I think this is just a "big phone", not a true phablet.
Holy crap!
That is amazing!
I'd trade in my HOX for that bad boy!
It has seriously good looks, has an MicroSD card slot, yes yes yes!
Onboard storage is lacking but I'm guessing that's to conserve space for the MicroSD slot, so meh...
I wonder how thin and light it is!
Its also called the Butterfly not the Butterly.
If you ask me, and you haven't, but I'll put my two cents worth in anyway! It just looks a little taller than the One X. Width and depth seem similar given the "impression" the pics give. Obviously HTC have more to offer than just a bigger screen unlike Apple with their iPhone 5!!!!
Pixel Density of 440ppi as opposed to the iPhone 5's 326ppi, take that retina display!
D: I hope this comes to Europe it looks amazing!

And nagging devs to optimize games for Tegra3!
I'm almost annoyed I'm in a contract for my HOX now as I know I'm going to want that so hard when it's released!
So much for HTC not diluting the market this year!!!
This phone will also be waterproof, the nexus variant will be released when the LG nexus is announced. It says on the back of the device with google because it probably has the hardware specs that meet the standards of the Nexus program.
Their are a lot if people saying that this phone has with google because it runs jelly bean out the box not true. Their are many device being released with jelly bean with no with google on the back if it.
Another reason why I believe this is a nexus phone because surely when they unveiled it they would have talked about the hardware but they didn't, because if they do then what are they going to talk about when they unveil the nexus edition in the coming weeks. They also have sad this phone will be available during December so why announce it now.
This is HTC's way of hinting they will be releasing a nexus phone. It looks best in black because then the finish of it is not shiny. Another thing I have noticed is the charger port has a flap that obviously points to it being water proof. They have only spoken about the display ppi they haven't spoken about the screen tech. This will only be spoken about when the google nexus phones are unveiled.
This is certainly the best nexus phone coming out easily beating the LG nexus. The only thing I want from this now is a good battery life which I think will be the same as the one x U.S variant, but slightly better since it will have android 4.2 running on it

I thought we had moved on from the megapixel myth. Bigger is not always better....
I hope it still has use of the HTC Image Sense chip.
Looks great, but I honestly still like the One X's design better. Also, that new Sense variation looks weird, what with those strange icons on the left.

It's probably customizable, those could be widgets.

Not sure if this is the right forum as nobody has posted this information yet, however new phones are announced ahead of CES
You can find this info on google right now however rumored specs are:
- 5" 1080p S-LCD screen
- 1.5ghz quad core S4 Pro
- 2gb RAM
- Jellybean 4.1.1
- 13mp camera
- Adreno 320 GPU
- 16gb storage + expandable memory slot
What do you guys think? Are you excited for the new Sony superphones or are you going to get something else?
The hardware seems very similar to what the Droid DNA is currently offering, except these will have expandable memory which is a bonus.
If the batteries on these are either removable or much higher capacity then I'm in for sure.
5" is a litte too large. Good on the high end specs & launching with JB.

The actual phones are about the same size as the ion so the extra screen size doesn't make it all that much bigger of a device. Definitely not like the note.

Get a different phone and it starts the 30 days over so when the Z's come out exchange it again. At least I think it still works.
As for the new Z's man they look good. Funny to that people still gripe about 4.1 to 4.2. There is not even a real difference I thought?? Other than bug fixes?? Anyway I think this will be a great device and somehow I get the feeling Sony may have a few surprises up there sleeve. :good:
I would love one if I thought Sony would actually keep the UK SIM free ones up to date
Waiting
What do you guys think about the XPERIA ZL's front camera position?
Is it any good/bad? Or even it's an odd placement?
(Just in case you haven't noticed,it's placed on lower right corner)
Hello!
So now that Nexus 5 is officially available...anyone jumping ship :laugh:
I am thinking but the bigger battery(also replaceable) and bigger screen are making me think twice.
Things going for Nexus 5 are the "updates" ....so thinking and waiting for reviews...
I don't care much for the faster hardware as i usually don't play games much and 16 GB would be enough for me as my usage never exceeds 5 GB.
p.s. just thinking loud and sharing my thoughts ...please don't go ballistic on me

I doubt that I will. There's just not a compelling enough reason, and I bought my LG OG Pro with all it's features and 32GB internal memory, etc. for far less than the N5 16GB model!
No, it's nice, but not worth it.
Nope.. Let's see when Nexus 6 is released.. For now OG Pro is perfect for me.
Dat 5.5" screen + 32gb internal + external SD slot is what's keeping me from the Nexus 5.. Same as with the Nexus 4 and LGOG. My internal is half full and about half of my 64gb card is half full so I definitely need the storage space lol.

I'm staying with the pro for now. I'm eager to try kitKat but I'm sure we will see some roms before long so I'm gonna stay with this beast for now. I love screen size removable battery SD card and battery size.

I think it's worth it. Given that it has the latest Android version, the latest proc. The camera has OIS. And the dev community for Nexus devices is huge.

yes i agree the dev support will be no doubt huge......actually i have another motivation as well....
i have the Korean version F240K so dev support for it is very low for it....but what can i do i live in Korea :silly:
mostly i am waiting for battery tests as 2300mAh is small....or maybe LG OG Pro's replaceable battery spoiled me :angel:
Just buy a great powerbank, and you're good to go.

I have the F420L, and it makes me sad that there are very few developers working on the OGP and fewer still want anything to do with the F420 variants. The Nexus 5 has great software support from google and the dev community, but its hardware isn't that much better than the OGP to justify purchasing it right away.
Not really. Had my white (unbranded) OGP for only a month and loving it (looks and speed). The N5 just looks too plain for my taste and in white it doesn't look any better; Zebra complex.

N4 same rear pattern as my OGP with the non-branded batter cover
Obviously just can't tolerate LG's late updates.
I really do miss the various roms I had on my S4. In addition, some kernels allow you to have 2 roms installed!
Mainly I miss development, and I sorta like how it looks (N5).
I am planning on buying one, then I will sell whatever I don't like :angel:
Would get an N5 if I didn't get the G Pro recently. I was coming from an Nexus 4. The 2300 battery might be an issue on the Nexus 5.

The OGPro has too many advantages and like the others above will pass on the Nexus 5. I love my OGPro!

Well, I took G Pro for his big screen, perfect for watching tvshows and movies... so my answer is : no
Micro-SD slot is mandatory for me, or at least, 64gb internal memory !
I finally received my LG Optimus G Pro today, so all my previous comments have been based on speculation. I finally have had the chance to really use the device.
While I did enjoy the stock UI more than I anticipated, I ended up with CyanogenMod installed, which is what I had planned to do with the device. Coming from AMOLED devices in the past, I am extremely impressed with the LG's screen. I much prefer it, so for me, IPS is my new default standard. The color is far more balanced and reading on it (which I do quite a lot of) isn't as taxing on the eyes.
The sum of its parts makes the LG OG Pro the unsung gem in the smartphone world, IMO. I'm extremely pleased that I sold my S4 and even with the extras, such as the AT&T case that activates the phone when flipped open and sleeps the screen when closed (works fine on CM, btw) a dual USB car charger and some screen protectors, I still have $150 left over from the sale of my S4, and I doubled my internal storage capacity in the process.
If this device had a fully unlockable bootloader, I don't think I'd ever sell it. The S4 has cheap plastic trim, but it looks to me like the OG Pro has real metal. The camera shutter and flash works faster on the OG Pro than the S4.
All in all, there's not much compelling me to look at the N5. It costs more and gives me less of what I wanted.
Actually in my opinion there is no reason to jump to Nexus 5 until Dev support continues for this phone....saying that anyone has any estimates/predictions as how long will Cyanogen support will continue foe this nice phone? :highfive:

I don't see any reason why it would stop being supported. With Loki, we can continue to work around the bootloader, so I don't see any problem with future development, but there may be a major change in something that screws that up. If/when the bootloader is patched to prevent the Loki exploit from working, and if the bootloader is tied to major functions on the device, as it is in Samdung's S4, then we could have a problem.
