Who Wins The Final Battle of the 2011 SUPERPHONES!

To be honest, that 30 mah wont make that much of a difference. Especially with ICS power and app management features I'm willing to bet it'll still outlive the razr on a day to day basis.

Personally I think the GNex is already outdated particularly with the antiquated PowerVR SGX540 which is 4 years old. Once the Razr gets ICS which should be first quarter of 2012, the Razr will be the superior phone but that's just my opinion.

Superior to those who are ok/accustomed to having a device with locked bootloaders. If gaming is of high importance pick the device with superior GPU .

My bad, I read somewhere that the Razr has a more up to date gpu. This brings up another question; why are manufactures using old tech in their flagship phones??

My guess would be compatibility and performance from that compatibility. Google/Samsung gave a reason for using the OMAP4 in the G-Nex rather than the Exynos because the OMAP4 uses an additional hardware accelerator called IVA 3 that makes encoding and decoding HD videos "a snap".

So their intention for the Razr and Gnex is for media and not gaming.

Possibly the same reason your a fan of a car not made any more (no offense). Someone built a good gpu that manufacturers liked the first time maybe?

I hate the footnote "no offense".

Don't want to be accused of attacking your opinion.

The CPU in these devices is a beast, 1.5 ghz (they will be able to do this as 1.5 ghz is a 'hidden' CPU slot unlocked with the likes of SetCPU among others). Having such a powerful CPU should make up for the last gen GPU...for the most part.

No, I'm just saying there is definitely a reason they used the components they used. They didn't just throw it together and slap the Nexus brand on it. You got to think that Google and Samsung did their homework on how all these parts coincide with each other. Like prime said the CPU should make up for the last gen GPU.
