Nexus Prime Specs Leaks, This Time Its Almost Real

NewImage

There’s been plenty of rumors about the next Nexus device aka Nexus Prime. We’ve heard that Samsung is manufacturing the Nexus Prime. It was Samsung itself who manufactured the existing Nexus S.

Its a war of hardware specifications on Android. And if this report from GSMArena is true, then we’re going to get a monster device in just a few days from Google. The Nexus prime features a 4.65 inch screen with a whopping 720p display that can bring the Wow Factor back to display any day. In addition to this, the phone packs a 1.5Ghz dual core processor, 1GB of RAM, the PowerVR SGX543MP2 Dual core GPU, 8MP Camera that does 1080p video and an unbelievable 2050mAh battery.

The specs are really amazing if they are true. However, the battery sounds too good to be true for a phone that’s this thin. Unless, Google/Samsung has come up with an incredible technology that can house such a huge battery in a device that looks so slim, I just can’t buy this. Lets hope its true for now. And of course the phone will have the LTE support.

I’m sure you all are very excited and I recommend you all to hold your breath until October 11th when it will be officially unveiled.

The most exciting feature of the iPhone 4S is Siri, the voice assistant. Its Apple’s all new innovation to ease doing things. Siri does all kinds of work that you expect from other voice command implementations in other platforms. But what makes it special is the enhanced features like conversations.
