Google Employee Takes Photo With 'Nexus 3' Device
Images were posted by Google employee John Mueller, with the accompanying data saying that the device the photos were taken on was the Nexus 3.
"We get to test some things before they're launched, but for everything else, there's exiv2.org," said Mueller. However, he then states: "Just to be clear, the EXIF data here is modified. Sorry for the confusion :)"
So while that was a fake (or at least some kind of concealment of another devices), Google's LG-developed Nexus 4 smartphone is real. The device boasts a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro and 2GB of RAM. A 4.7-inch display is accompanied by 3G support, wireless charging and NFC. It'll release on November 13 for $299.
Average data usage in the US is like 2GB/month. LTE may be 5-10x faster than HSPA, but you can't read and watch movies 5-10x faster. Unless you experience buffering or at downloading a large file -- which you aren't because your data plan is only 2GB -- overall time saved with LTE vs. HSPA is actually quite negligible.
As I just said... the new flagship is a quad, not a dual.
I guess the fact that your going to be loading your average webpage 5-10x faster is irrelevant then. The difference between leading a page in 3 seconds and loading a page in 0.5 seconds is huge. It makes web browsing much more enjoyable, and makes your phone seem significantly faster.
If you're lucky enough to be the only person on the celltower, maybe it doesn't matter.
But when you're in the ballpark with 40,000 other people, you maybe glad to be on a different protocol over the rest of the rabble.
I'm with you, I'm also on SGS2 with TMobile, it's so much faster than Verizon, AT&T and Sprint real 4G or fake 4G. My friends are jealous and wish they can have my speed. I constantly need to give them tether.
