First: I'm not sure it's even possible to get reasonable TV reception with a handheld device, and doubly so for two separate standards (ATSC and DVB-T). Receiving a clear ATSC signal is hard enough with a reasonably sized antenna; with a tiny patch antenna in a phone, you'd have a very hard time picking up a clear signal, especially inside buildings or vehicles, which is where I'd expect a feature like this to get the most use.
Second: The terminology is wrong. The mobile / handheld variants of ATSC and DVB-T are called ATSC-M/H and DVB-H, respectively. That being said, neither of these are in widespread use, so I'm not sure it'd make sense to implement them either.
Finally: Google has not shown any interest in getting involved in OTA television. Adding support for it in their phone would, if anything, undermine some of their other ongoing efforts, like having TV shows available in Google Play, and other video content on YouTube. I've never seen any other mobile phone with this feature, and I see no reason why Google would be the first.
The specs on that thing look insane for a $300 price point; a handheld device now has more power than a laptop for double the price 4 years previously. I wonder how that power and screen can translate to battery life...
I'd also love to see a waterproof Nexus. As far as I know, only Sony makes a waterproof high-end phone. I have an Experia Go after my GN died in a rainstorm...I'd love to have another Nexus device, but I'd want one that could live in my pockets during an unexpected downpour.
Yep :) https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
I hope that's a typo.
I'm really surprised nobody's pointed out how male-targeted the big Android players are. Verizon with their red everything Droid robots and aggressive marketing language.
Android stuff feels more high-RPM than high-fashion.
also, i'd be very sad if the LG continues to churn out low quality nexus.
Looking at current gen consoles I think you'd have a lot of difficulty finding a pacifist console.
Although touch as a UI sounds awful for FPS games, for years/decades PC gamers with mouse/trackball and keyboard have been looking down on the console gamers stuck with hand controllers, so I imagine touch screen FPS would primarily result in the console FPS gamers finally having someone to look down on.
The rear camera of the LG Nexus 5 is supposedly a 16MP
OmniVision capable of recording 4K video at 30 frames-
per-second, or 1080p video at 60FPS
My question is: why aren't these uber-powerful camera phones driving down the costs of high-end dedicated cameras, when they are in fact in some cases competing with them head-to-head?
Also, a phone isn't thick enough to allow for a physical zoom.
