The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was introduced late last year alongside Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The launches of the Google operating system have three versions being accompanied by a terminal, and although the most recent edition of the platform also came with equipment included, it was not a smartphone , but the Nexus 7 tablet. In a few weeks, and coinciding with the anniversary of the Galaxy Nexus, a new mobile signed by Mountain View could arrive in tandem with some other manufacturer, with HTC, Sony or Samsung itself being some of the candidates.
Meanwhile, there is talk of the possibility of the South Korean firm updating the current Android flagship with a slightly more powerful edition. And there are clues to its existence. Through Picasa, a series of images have been leaked that, if the EXIF information contained in their digital files is examined, would reveal data that points to the existence of a Samsung model that corresponds to the codified nomenclature of the latest Nexus.
The images reveal some information about the sensor and the camera lenses with which they have been made, approaching the characteristics described in the unit of the Samsung Galaxy S2, but not that of the Galaxy S3, unfortunately. What it seems to be no doubt that among the improvements which would add to this new model is equipping more resolution, reaching eight megapixels "" the current Samsung Galaxy Nexus boasts a camera of five megapixels.
Another addition that would enhance the technical profile of the hypothetical Samsung Galaxy Nexus 2 "" which is encoded as GT-I9260 "" would be a faster processor. Specifically, it would be a dual-core unit that would go on to develop a 1.5 GHz clock frequency instead of the 1.2 GHz that we see in the current model. It would also be known that this new edition would carry the same 4.65-inch HD Super AMOLED screen that we already know, as well as a memory expansion slot through microSD cards, something that was missed in the Galaxy Nexus that we know.
There are no clues about the launch or presentation of this model, and since it seems that it would not be presented as the new high-end terminal of the Nexus family, but as a review of the phone that holds that place at the moment, perhaps it could accompany the Google's next super mobile, or anticipating this one as a launch sponsored by those from Mountain View, but more under the cover of the South Korean company's catalog. To be able to clear up that question, it will be necessary to keep some patience and wait until one or another company provides more information about the future of the Nexus range.
For now, Samsung is preparing for the arrival in stores of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the new beast of the firm, equipped with a 1.6 GHz quad-core processor and two GB RAM, 5 HD Super AMOLED screen 5 inch and eight - megapixel camera and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system.
