Get that phony gimmick shyt outta here.
google now improvements are coming
One of the highlights of Jelly Bean is the Google Now feature, that voice-friendly personal assistant that can offer personalized search results and better help with certain day-to-day activities that rely more or less on performing the same online searches.
Google’s Knowledge Graph system is a complex algorithm that makes features like the ones available in Google Now possible. Whether used for mobile or desktop searches, the Knowledge Graph is a search feature that lets Google establish complex relationships between the things people search the web for and offer better-tailored results.
Thanks to the Knowledge Graph, Google can understand the actual meaning of some of our searches and provide more useful results, or at least that’s the purpose of it. Naturally, the better the search results, the more satisfied the customer is with Google, and ultimately the more money Google makes off of users via its ads.
If the Knowledge Graph feature sounds too complex, you’ll be happy to hear that Google plans to update it to make it even more useful and easier to understand. In fact, Google seems to want to be more transparent about its search results and it’s ready to explain how it knows what “people also search for,” when displaying search results boxes with the help of the Knowledge Graph:
Have you ever flipped through the “People also search for” section of the Knowledge Graph panels and wondered — just how are those two people connected anyway? […]
We’re starting by showing major co-starring roles between actors, movies, and TV shows as well as highlighting family connections amongst famous people in the Knowledge Graph. These connections won’t show up all the time, but when there is an interesting explanation available, you can now see it at a glance.
As this search feature gets improved in time, we should expect to see more such connections explanations to appear no matter what devices we use for online searches. At the same time let’s not forget that Google is investigated by several entities when it comes to its privacy policy and its search practices, so making search more transparent may help with those legal matters too, on the long run.

Is the LG Nexus a big improvement over the Galaxy Nexus? Technical breakdown here!
Posted by vido.ardes on October 23, 2012 07:46 am 24
I see a lot of post about saying stuff like the "Nexus 4 isn't a big leap over the GNex" or more to the point "Nexus 4 isn't as big a leap over the GNex as the GNex was over the Nexus S". I wanted to test that below so I have compared all three devices to show how the LG compares to the GNex, and to show the generational jump in each case.
Legend
NS = Nexus S, GN = Galaxy Nexus & LGN = Nexus 4
CPU
NS: 1GHz single-core ARM Cortex-A8
GN: 1.2GHz dual-core ARM Cortex-A9
LGN: 1.5GHz quad-core Krait
Bigger Leap: LGN
The quad-core Krait is a much bigger leap over the dual core A9 in all aspects. Although it is about a different chip based around Krait, the table on the link below shows how Krait is better than A9 in all areas, and also how little difference there was between A8 and A9
AnandTech - Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 (Krait) Performance Preview - 1.5 GHz MSM8960 MDP and Adreno 225 Benchmarks
GPU
NS: 200 MHz PowerVR SGX540
GN: 384 MHz PowerVR SGX540
LGN: Adreno 320
Bigger Leap: LGN
The Galaxy Nexus basically had an overclocked version of the same GPU the Nexus S had, the Adreno 320 pair with 4 Krait cores has been shown to wipe the floor with everything, including the Tegra chips.
Qualcomm's Quad-Core S4 'Krait' With Adreno 320 Benched, Beats Tegra3 And Exynos 4412 - News - Trusted Reviews
RAM
NS: 512MB
GN: 1GB
LGN: 2GB
Bigger Leap: Draw
Doubled each generation, no winner here.
Screen
NS: 800x400 4" SAMOLED (233 ppi)
GN: 1280x720 4.65" SAMOLED (316ppi)
LGN: 1280x768 4.7" IPS LCD (318ppi)
Bigger Leap: Draw
This was a difficult one. when you look at the numbers, it's hard to see why I didn't give this one to the Galaxy Nexus, the screen got a lot bigger, much higher resolution resulting in a much better PPI, which GN to LGN the numbers stay roughly the same, so hand down win for the GN right? Well, the LG IPS screen may be the same size and resolution, but the IPS screen is, light years ahead in quality, brightness and saturation than the Pentile SAMOLED screens Samsung uses. LG have been pushing screen tech forward and having held a normal LCD next to a SAMOLED and seen the difference, I can't wait to see what and IPS screen can do.
LG: Optimus G will feature new screen tech and long-lasting battery - Pocket-lint
Battery
NS: 1,500 mAh Replaceable
GN: 1,750 mAh (LTE edition had 1,850 mAh) Replaceable
LGN: 2,100 mAh non-replaceable
Bigger Leap: LGN
The A8 to A9 core didn't bring that much power consumption reduction (if anything, the overclocked GPU made power consumption worse). Not only is the LGN bringing a much bigger capacity battery, but LG have also claimed to have created a battery that is 60% more efficient at the same capacity than it's competitors. Even if this claim is highly generous, the capacity leap alone gives this one to the LGN.

Rear Camera
NS: 5MP auto-focus, single LED flash, sub 720p video recording
GN: 5MP auto-focus, single LED flash, 1080p video recording
LGN: 8MP auto-focus, single LED flash, 1080p video recording
Bigger Leap: Draw
Unfortunately the cameras in the nexus phones have been nothing to brag about. The GN has been widely panned, and although the MP bump should bring improvements, the leaked photos from the LGN have been very lacklustre. There is hope, as LG have been shouting about their new sensor and the poor shots could be down to software / driver issues, but as of now, they are all pretty poor in light of the competition
LG Optimus G will have 'world's best camera' | News | TechRadar
Front Camera
NS: VGA (640×480)
GN: 1.3MP, 720p video
LGN: 1.3MP, 720p video
Bigger Leap: GN
The Front facing cameras on the GN and LGN will be practically the same, while the leap from VGA to 720p on th e NS to GN provided a much needed boost for video calling.
Conclusion
It think it is safe to say three things:
a) The Nexus 4 will be a bigger improvement over the Galaxy Nexus, than the Galaxy Nexus was over the Nexus S
As the above shows, in every area that counts, the LGN is either as big of a generational leap, or bigger.
b) The Nexus 4 is a highly significant improvement over the Galaxy Nexus
Again, clearly seen above, the component improvements are leaps ahead of the Galaxy Nexus, and is a worthwhile upgrade.
c) The Nexus 4 will be an awesome phone
The specs above, coupled with stock Android 4.2? Yes Please! The design is subjective, and yes it may look a little boring, but under the hood, this phone has what it takes to be the best Android phone available. I personally love the design, and the subtle evolution from the Galaxy Nexus provides a brand, something that consumers can recognise.

LG Nexus 4 Benchmark Shows Codenames of Mako and Occam, Hates All Over the Motorola Rumor
A purported benchmark for the LG Nexus 4 appeared at GLBenchmark this week, showing us some of the dirty details that we were still hoping to get clarification on before the product is unveiled next Monday.
First off, youll notice that we have a device name of mako which has been known as the codename for some time now. Second, youll notice the word occam in the build fingerprint and product, another name that has been tossed around. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, the tin foil hats came out, and a group of Android enthusiasts jumped to the wild conclusion that there was a better-than-average chance that this was going to be a separate Nexus, probably built by Motorola. You see, because if you Google the term occam, youll find Occams Razor. Apparently, that should mean that occam equals RAZR, which equals Motorola phone. Wild, I know. This benchmark, if legit, debunks the hell out of that.
Occam in this case is the build product, a second name attached to all Nexus devices that refers to software builds. For example, the Verizon Galaxy Nexus runs under codename toro, but its software builds fall under the name mysid. For all GSM Galaxy Nexus variants, youll see codename maguro, however, each version has a different software build codename like yakju or takju. Make sense? So occam simply ties software to the LG Nexus 4, which is known as mako.
Along with this clarification on codenames, we also see that the device was running Android 4.2 build JVP15L at the time of the benchmark. The screen resolution is 1196×768 (instead of 1280×768), likely because of the on-screen navigation keys that took up space during the benchmark. We can also see that the processor is clocked at 1.5GHz, which matches up to what we have seen the Snapdragon S4 Pro clocked at on other phones.
By the way, we should point out that we predicted that the occam was the LG Nexus a few weeks back. We also pointed out that the manta or rumored 10-inch Nexus tablet, was likely built by Samsung, something that could also come true.

Maximized Potential
Not real.. I mean the phone is real but the front is just a photoshop of a custom ROM. CM10/AOKP?
I took a second glance at it after I posted it and display is definitely fake.
Monday can't come soon enough. All of this speculation is killing me.
. I could of swore we had actual shots of the finished Galaxy Nexus a week before it dropped, but that could just be me.
Here's hoping we can order that shyt on Monday. It'd be nice to have for next weekend.

dudes want the nexus on a carrier when verizon delayed the shyt 2 months last yr 
. Google cant afford a 2 month delay on this device. It hurt sales big time. Leave the carriers out of it please. Android dudes want too much. fukk LTE...HSPA+ is fast enough. Yeah its fast but once everybody is on it its no longer as fast plus its not everywhere yet. Like i said pick your poison either go for the quick updates and slow speeds or have LTE and slow updates

I thought Google doesn't care about sales of the Nexus.
And just like I told the iStans when Apple released the 4 without LTE: there's no excuse for releasing a high end phone without LTE. LTE is the future, buying a phone that is behind out of the box is just dumb.
If Google is worried about the delay then they should actually own the Nexus brand and work with the carriers BEFORE announcing the phone.
Guess I'll wait til the next Nexus, and continue eating with this Galaxy Nexus LTE
