There were three big mysteries surrounding the holiday smartphone market: the iPhone 4S, the first Nokia Windows Phone(s), and Google’s first Android Ice Cream Sandwich phone. Two days ago, we learned about the iPhone, and today we get our first glimpse at Google and Samsung’s upcoming Android 4.0 phone: the Nexus Prime…or the Droid Prime, or maybe the Galaxy Nexus. We don’t really know the name of it, but BGR has picked up some supposed specs on the phone that Samsung and Google will unveil at CTIA in San Diego this Tuesday.

Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich
9mm thin
4.65-inch 1280 x 720-pixel Super AMOLED HD with curved glass
TI OMAP 4460 dual-core Cortex A9 processor clocked at 1.2GHz
1GB of RAM
32GB of built-in storage
5-megapixel camera on the back, 1.3-megapixel in the front
1080p HD video capture support
LTE/HSPA depending on carrier
Wi-Fi a/b/g/n
NFC
1,750 mAh battery

If true, this could be the phone to have. The curved glass display sounds cool, but the large size and big resolution of the screen are more impressive. In addition, having 32GB of internal storage and NFC (for Google Wallet) would be very cool and if it’s a Nexus, it will definitely be a pure Android experience phone, so it won’t have a bunch of custom UI tacked on. This phone may be a Verizon exclusive in the U.S., but we don’t yet know that for sure.

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5: the 7 biggest things I want to see

Opening an app in split screen on the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 improved in key areas from the Galaxy Z Fold 3. It is lighter, packs a better primary camera, and has improvements under the hood. However, it is not perfect. Namely, the battery life isn't quite where you'd expect it to be and the crease is, well, still here.

Samsung hasn’t worked on a few essential factors for two years, and with the foldable form factor getting more traction with increasing competition, and 'creaseless' foldables now on the market, all eyes are on what Samsung will do for its next big release. Here are seven things I want to see from the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5.
