What you Might Have Missed: Gundotra Promises Insanely Good Cameras on Nexus Phones and More

February 18, 2013 |

It’s Monday again, and that means there may have been a news item or two you missed while enjoying your weekend induced coma. Although this weekend was a bit on the quiet side, we do have a couple things worth reporting.

Vic Gundotra: We are Committed to Making Nexus Phones Insanely Great Cameras



Over the weekend, Vic Gundotra, Google Senior Vice President, Engineering for Google, took to Google+ to talk about his photography woes. He was packing for a trip to the mountains (Lake Tahoe) and was contemplating whether or not to take his DSLR. He eventually decided to go with the DSLR, but to ditch all lenses with the exception of his 50mm 1.2, to lighten the load.

While none of this is really interesting, a response made by Vic to a comment of whether or not future Nexus device would be able to one day replace all this heavy equipment sent the Android community in a frenzy:

We are committed to making Nexus phones insanely great cameras. Just you wait and see. 

As we all know, Nexus devices haven’t exactly had the best of cameras, but that photogenic handicap appears to be changing very soon.

I don’t know about you but I’m even more excited for the next Nexus to hit. Google I/O can’t come soon enough.

LG Reveals Specs, Availability, and Pricing of Upcoming Optimus G Pro

Although the LG Optimus G Pro was previously announced, LG has forgotten to give us any real details about the device. Now, they’ve finally decided to fill in the blanks, letting us know that this 5.5-inch behemoth would be available in Korea next week and then overseas regions including Japan and North America, in the second quarter.

The Optimus G Pro will feature a 5.5-inch full HD 1080×1920 (400 ppi) display, a 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage (expandable via microSD) and a removable 3140mAh battery with wireless charging support. As for cameras, the Optimus G pro features a 13MP rear and 2MP front facing camera. You’ll also find LTE connectivity, Android 4.1.2 (skinned of course) and much, much more.

As for price, the Optimus G Pro is expected to retail for 968,000 won! That’s a lot of won and equal to about $898! We certainly don’t expect the device to retail here in the states for $898 or you can guarantee this thing won’t stand a chance.

If you’d like more information, check out the Korean announcements in their entirety below.
