We’ve been expecting the Nexus Prime, the next great Android phone that’ll introduce Ice Cream Sandwich with it, for quite a while now and there’s really no better time to introduce it than right now (as Apple just showed its cards). The phone in Samsung’s teaser video looks deliciously thin and curvy, let’s hope it’s as good as we want it to be.
Cute teaser video. [CNet]

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 7:49 AMThis thing is going to be like 4.6″. Do people really want a phone that big?

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 4:26 PM4.6 inch 16:9 screen with no buttons is the same size as a 4.3 inch phone with capacitive buttons. The Nexus prime will be roughly the same size as the SGS2; just sexier.

Friday, October 7, 2011 at 7:51 AMWhat, you’re sexier than the SGS2…?

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 8:28 AMi dont think the back is curvy, you can see the line not touching the edges on either side.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 8:55 AMIt’s only too big if you can’t fit it in your pocket.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 9:00 AM$27 says it’s not that curved. I dont think the blue line follows the phones screen.
Ash
Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 11:03 AMWait to go Mr. Precise. How do you intend to measure what amounts to being (or not being) “not that curved” with your all enticing bet of $27? And is that American or Australian dollars?
Rhys
Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 1:55 PMDevils in the vague details.
Messuring will be conducted by scaling the image to a 1:1 ratio of the real phone, holding it against it to see if the angle of the curved blue line, lines up.
The exchange of the winning money will be done in person, somewhere in china. To be witness by a panda, with black fur and white spots.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 10:10 AMCurved in that direction would be great to hold, but a pain to put in your pocket.
That said, I’m more excited to see what comes from the android unpacked event than apple’s announcement yesterday.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 11:40 AMNot if you put it in your pocket sideways so it curves around your leg :p

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 4:28 PM… or in a breast pocket, where it can curve around your pectoral muscle (or your actual breast).

Friday, October 7, 2011 at 7:52 AMor moob, as the case most probably is.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 10:28 AMMaybe such a curved phone isn’t aimed at us practical people, rather the ones that keep it in a case/handbag

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 10:29 AM:21 to :23 you can clearly see the shape, like the love child of a nexus s and a galaxy sII

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 2:27 PMI don’t know about you guys but here’s a very clear picture of it. Not as curved as you may think from that video for sure.

Thursday, October 6, 2011 at 7:16 PMThe curve will mean it will hug your butt, so when you sit down, the screen won’t shatter on the seat, and the padding of your fatt arse will protect it.

Friday, October 7, 2011 at 1:58 AMSo this is how they pay tribute to Mr Jobs.
Nik
Friday, October 7, 2011 at 10:44 AMIt looks sexy, selling my gs2 for sure. And what does this have to do with the latest step jobs, why bring him up and disrespect him?
Matt L
Friday, October 7, 2011 at 12:21 PMIs this a bottom view? Those 3 holes looks like the microphone, which is best located at the bottom of the phone. This looks to curve around the horizontal plane. Which makes sense, holding the phone with one hand, your thumb isn’t designed to move on a flat surface as well as it could on a curve. Sometimes my thumb “locks up” when I’m using flat screened touch phones with one hand.
Matt L
Friday, October 7, 2011 at 12:24 PMI’ll also point out, that the microphone should be on the bottom, unless there’s one on each side, or they make a “lefty/righty” model, which won’t happen. The bottom edge is curved with the screen, you can tell as it’s the purpose of the “feet” on the unit… I’m also thinking it’s curved on the horizontal plane could support a nice 3D effect… Unless u hold it in landscape, I dunno what would happen then.
