Samsung Nexus Prime confirmed by leaked website listing

By on September 7, 2011 at 7:14pm in Mobile News, Samsung

As we get closer to the October/November release of Ice Cream Sandwich it is becoming more and more apparent that Samsung’s Nexus Prime, the third in the pure Android Nexus series, is going to be the first phone released with Android 4.0.

From a leaked .xml document on Samsung Mobile’s website, we can infer a few things about the Prime, denoted by the I9250 model number. For reference, the Samsung Galaxy S was the I9000 and the Galaxy S II the I9100. The device will have a 480×800 pixel display, and not a 720p display that was previously thought (that would be the Galaxy Note announced at IFA), but very little other information is known at this time.

As the lead-up to the holiday season comes, we are all waiting impatiently for the major hardware and software manufacturers to showcase their wares. The Nexus Prime is certainly up there with the iPhone 5 in terms of anticipation and we’ll keep you updated once all the details unfold.

Update: New rumours have the Nexus Prime being renamed to the Samsung “Galaxy Nexus”.

  2. Bummer on the Prime not having a 720p screen, or not even a qHD screen. 800×480 is alright, but at that size you will notice the pixelation even more. Even with my Nexus S at 4″ with 800×480 res I can notice it.

    • I agree. 720p is so important in my eyes. I just don’t understand why this isn’t a priority for them. So frustrating!

  5. My Desire HD is good enough to last me until 2012 when perhaps quad core comes, and also some great 4.7″ phones :)

  6. For some reason I don’t think these are the real specifications, I think they’re just place holders. Things could change…

  7. Well the lack of HD screen means I will wait for a quad core next year.

  10. This is not breaking news. The i9250 was identified as the Nexus Prime back on August 11th by multiple reports. Supposedly it will have a 4.65″ HD screen.

    • I read on androidandme.com that one of the reps for Samsung at IFA confirmed all but the Note to be comming to the States. Possibly the same for Canada in that case, possibly not. But they also mentioned that this rep could have been wrong. Would be cool to have Phablet! =P

  13. I beleive androidandme.com are correct by stating these are possibly place holder specs till they are ready to update with the correct information (avoid giving it all away to the blogosphere) and that the actual specs will still consist of a OMAP4 processor and a 720p screen. Google wouldnt have chosen Samsung to AGAIN build the next Nexus device if they werent more innovative with the next iteration of it. They could of easily gone to HTC who is for sure comming out with 720P screens in the near future as well (See HTC Ruby).

  14. Well since mobile syrup does no research, all these specs are the same as nexus s, because its a PLACE HOLDER.

  16. for the people who are deciding now whether or not to get the NP need to take a step back and realize the phone has yet to be offically announced. So i would make that decision to get the Galaxy Note after the Nexus Prime hits retail.

    I believe only then you can make an informed decision.

  18. From an article on gsmarena, “For one, our tipster says that the final name of the next Google flagship is Samsung Galaxy Nexus rather than Nexus Prime. It will have a 4.65″ screen of HD resolution – not 4.5″ WVGA.”

    So the rumours are still running rampant even with only just over a month before its expected release, but I hope this one is true!

    • 27. And comparing it to my buddies HYPEPhone, it totally smokes it in every category. Screen is bigger with better colours and deeper blacks, runs the same games better (NFS Shift for example), runs flash natively and easily without having to have a browser send the info to a server first, etc., etc…

  20. Cannot wait for this phone. After having the G1 and Nexus One myself and just using the bloatware loaded phones, I can’t settle for a none Nexus line phone. Only phone to really make me want to upgrade so far from when buying the Nexus One is the Sensation 4G but still waiting for this.
