Possible Nexus Two Specs Include 1.2GHz CPU

We still don't have any official pictures (that right there is Gizmodo's mock-up), but we do have some specs for you to take a gander at.

^ agreed. Still, it's nice to see (if it's true) these things coming with faster CPUs.

People have been overclocking Android phones past 1 GHz for awhile now. It apparently doesn't hurt battery life noticeably.

[citation][nom]otacon72[/nom]Don't get me wrong the more power the better and that AMOLED I'm sure will be gorgeous but at what cost? My friend's Droid X was great to play with...for all of 45 mins until he had to charge it.[/citation]

Sorry but the Droid X dosen't have an AMOLED screen... traditional LCD screens use a backlight and block and filter the light to produce the range of colors. For each diode in an OLED, it would only consume the same power if the entire screen were always white. Black diodes consume no power at all, and all the other colors scale between the two.

The difference between my Samsung Moment (AMOLED with 800 Mhz), which lasts 10+ hours with heavy usage, and a Nexus Two is going to be negligible... maybe shave an hour off my usage time.

So tempted to sell my Nexus One and wait for a Nexus Two...

Might have to sell my nexus one. =)

 

[lejay]

Me want cortex a9... now!

Finally, breaking the 1 GHz. barrier in default config.

Didn't Samsung come out and deny that they are making a Nexus Two? I mean don't get me wrong, I would love a Nexus Two, but I am pretty sure you will be disappointed on the 8th

That's legitimately faster than my friends main computer...
Besides video, he has a PCI 8400gs

I'm not sure if that was a joking remark or not, but i highly doubt that statement. you can't directly compare the clockspeeds of a snapdragon CPU and an x86 CPU.

unless he's running a 200mhz P2, I'd say his is still more powerful.

If that is indeed what they're announcing on the 8th, obviously they aren't going to spoil it and say, "Ohp! You caught us!" I'm not saying they are announcing it that day, but if they were they definitely wouldn't say anything about it early, or else that would defeat the purpose of the event.

I would like that phone then! I'm currently using a sony ericson thing that has to be recharged every day anyway - so I'm used to having the charger around

I wonder when we can put folding@home, seti@Home or Einstein@Home on these new smartphones??

512MB RAM is plenty ... but the CPU architecture isn't x86 so it would need to be ported...

 

[jadelith]

seriously tom, its called CAPTCHA. use it.

LOL And takes all of a few lines of code to implement.

I wonder, will that be a dual-cored ARM Processor?
