I will be eligible for an upgrade in Jan & I was looking for info on upcoming AT&T Android phones. I tried Google but results are old. I would like to stick with Samsung. What happened last time I upgraded I purchased this Cappy & 1 month later the Infuse came out! I was pissed! I don't want to get the sgs2 then something better comes out in Feb. I'm not interested in the Skyrocket since I heard it does not have Gorilla Glass plus a slower CPU. Anyone have any info on upcoming phones? SGS3 timelines?

AT&T said a while back that they would have a "family" of Galaxy phones. The SGS2 and Skyrocket are out now. Both the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note passed through the FCC this week with AT&T frequencies. So both of those phones might be hitting AT&T in the next couple of months (nothing for sure, but they have the thumbs-up from the FCC). Early reviews of all four phones seem to be excellent.
If the SGS2 is any indication, the SGS3 will be announced at either CES or MWC in Q1, be released to everyone except the US in Q2, then hit the US in Q3 about six to seven months after it's announced amid rumors of the SGS4, which will undoubtedly sport LTE, NFC, 3D, flexible display, holographic chat, built-in microwave, 47 distinct comms bands, Tivo, and smell-o-vision.

The fact that LG MAY get the green light to make Google's next flagship phone for Android 5.0/ Key Lime Pie is sad...Samsung has done it since the Nexus S right?! And they did the GNex and Sammy has the right to go and make the Next Gen Nexus!!.. Thank if you agree! and comment if you don't and why you don't
5 manufacturers are supposed to make Nexi (?) this year. I agree, Samsung does make good Nexi (?).

Mix it up, Let it change, Apart from the Software LG phones aren;t bad, and being a nexus.. the software will be good
Asus made the Nexus 7. I honestly couldn't car less who makes the next nexus device as long as it has good hardware.

+1 to that. Got a Nexus 7 (actually work got it for part of the demo kit, but it comes home with me every night) and I love it. Could be better - sd-card support and 3G would make it perfect), but it's probably the best tablet I've ever used. Asus made a great bit of hardware, Google made a great piece of software - who needs to be a brand snob?
I think it's good to have a manufacturer other than Samsung make the next Nexus. HTC had one chance, MOTO got the XOOM and ASUS got the 7. Why should Samsung get 2+ GED's?
Well,LG phones have bad software but gold hardware, so who cares

I'm interested to see who ends up making it, especially because I'm probably going to end up buying it. I don't know if LG alone will get the next nexus, but there are rumors that there could be different versions from multiple manufacturers. There really isn't enough concrete evidence to know for sure, but since last year's nexus was released in October, hopefully we'll know more soon.

Why would Lg be a bad choice for the next nexus?
FYI software is a VERY invalid response, considering their phone would be VANILLA Android (nexus device, herp derp)
Lg makes great phones.
Lg optimus G anyone?
Htc would be a good choice again too...the Nexus One was EASILY the best phone of its time. The nexus S should've never been released, considering its a REBRANDED GALAXY S (prove me wrong, go ahead and name differences between the galaxy s and nexus s), and the galaxy nexus was outdone by samsung themselves with the release of the GS3 which is basically a GNex with a quadcore exynos and not OMAP inside. The s3 didn't even upgrade the screen from the gnex!
I think samsung has had their time in the nexus sun..
As Motorola Mobility is a subsidiary of Google or simply, now owned by Google why the next Nexus can't be made by Motorola?!
I had this same thought when the Galaxy Nexus came out from Samsung, but at that time Google didn't acquired the company it seems.

I'm assuming Google is afraid of violating any Antitrust laws. Not sure if them owning a manufacturer that produces their flagship would violate anything but I don't think Android OEM's would be too jazzed on the idea.

Exactly, In a way I do agree with some of the above posts about how Sammy got theirs twice in a row, but honestly, I have had all the Flagship phones and out of all of them, I would have to say Samsung did the best with the Nexus S. It was awesome, a good body, just the specs were low key...the GNex literally was an Extended version of the S. If Moto was to make a Flagship phone for Google, I'd cry and possibly not buy another Android phone until the following year! ;D
Is KLP really going to release so soon after JB? We are going to be at Zebra Cake in 2015. I wouldn't be surprised if they waited till next year for a name change. JB is on 1.8% of Android devices.

I think Google released JB when they did as a "Buffer" OS and to keep us all down and sane because I am sure they saw how various Android Forums exploded with questions as to when Google is making an update. Because look at JB vs. ICS, theres only a few differences, Google Now and Project Butter. I think when Google releases KLP...Hopefully in the near future, it will be a big step up and a competitor to the much inferior iOS 6 ;D

Does ASUS even make phones? Would be a sweet one if they did, everything else they make is solid. Would love to see HTC make it, they make great phones, the only bad thing is Sense and how hard they are to unlock, both of which wouldn't be a problem with a nexus.

- New quick settings
- Swype keyboard

It's very cool they are supporting it. Although for only $100 more, you can buy it from the Play Store without being locked into a contract.
Only 349$ ? I'm sold.
Unbelievable.
No words to say.
Now time to find the release date of android 4.2
This is my next nexus :goodrice cheap or not very impressed.
I might cancel a couple of Verizon lines and get it.
It's live on the Play Store! You can't purchase yet though.

Screw lte. Where's the 32gb version? And launching that low I am seriously concerned about build quality.
...
Each time Google lunches a new product it's almost incredible how many ideas they stole from other places, like Swype, toggle notifications, etc. however hardware wise I'm loving how fast they are improving and the fact that they kept the nexus smartphone without hardware buttons on the front, the SG3 would be so much more attractive without those stupid buttons... Well thanks for the video

$359 Canadian on the Play Store for the 16GB version. Told myself I wouldn't buy it, but that's too cheap to pass up when it drops.
When is Android 4.2 launching ?
I, like some others on the internet, feel like it's very possible that there won't be a Galaxy S5 GPE. Here's why:
-Samsung has hinted they wish to use their own OS (Tizen) and are trying to ditch Android. I don't know how far away this is, but with continually locking and customizing down their platform it appears they are purposefully moving away from the openness of Android. With them being slated as a manufacturer of an Android Wear device, this occurrence of ditching Google could very well be far off or nonexistent. I've only read a couple articles about this possibility, and it somewhat makes sense.
-Samsung won't move to software buttons. Google has long since pushed for software buttons on Android phones, and now most OEMs are following Google's "suggestions".
Samsung, on the other hand, has stubbornly stayed with hardware buttons (which I'm perfectly fine with XD)
-It hasn't been announced yet. The M8 GPE was announced and went on sale about three weeks ago. The S5 was announced 2 months ago, and there's been no mention of a GPE. It's possible it could come out at Google I/O, but it doesn't make sense why Samsung would wait so long after their biggest Android competitor already released their GPE.
-There are lots of hardware features to integrate. I'm not sure that Google would let Samsung integrate the fingerprint scanner and heartbeat sensor into the stock skin.
Although this post may seem pretty negative, I really hope the GPE S5 is released. I loved stock on the S4, and it would be a real shame if they stopped with the GPE phones.
What are your thoughts? Will they pull through and surprise us all with the S5 at I/O? Or will it remain a distant dream?
Sent from my iPhone 5s using Tapatalk
They announced they will be making tizen phones, but they will still make android phones as well. From what I read, it didn't sound like their flagship would be tizen based any time soon, and the tizen phones might be in developing countries. This is based off one article I read a few days ago. New/different info may be available now.

Cool thanks! They'll turn into another Nokia (except with Android on the high end, not low end).
I think the S4 GPE was a success, so it seems silly why they wouldn't give it another go.

There is no Galaxy S5 GPE yet. This is only speculation.
On the S4 GPE, you couldn't change display settings like you could on the stock one (Cinema/Photography/Adapt Display).
There was only the stock calibration. I'm sure there were and are kernel mods for it, though.

But to keep it ontopic, if we don't see a GPe during I/O they may release it a bit later. HTC launched it earlier because they're desperate to get some attention for the shiny turd...

Any Projected Date for Lollipop on T-Mobile Note 4?
T-Mobile has yet to update the Note 2 from Jellybean to KitKat. Makes me wonder, how they will approach the Note 4, any idea?
Seeing as the new instruction manuals just came out for the S5/Note 4 and they were updated for Lollipop, pretty soon. There isnt a definitive date, probably by March.
If I were to guess this month or next month
My guess is in maybe four months. The update will come out for international most likely first. Than Tmobile will get it 2-4 months later lol
That's the answer I was looking for, argh T-Mobile, thanks!

But I will hope that's not the case!
I don't know cause when I had my M8 tmobile was really fast with the updates posting a mere days after the official release so I'm hoping for the same.
It's being tested right now on some of the US Note 4 variants. I'd guess within the next month or 2. But as always, Tmobile may take their sweet time.
It's all just speculation. Longing for it won't make it happen any sooner. TMO will drop it when they get around to it.
I know this is a bit off topic but why did the older Galaxy S5 get Lollipop ahead of the much newer Note 4 that cost a lot more? I'm confused. Is the S5 Samsung's flagship and not the Note series?
