Rumored Galaxy Nexus Specs Indicate Slight Upgrade

Leaked technical details for Google's next Galaxy Nexus phone (to be produced by Samsung) appeared today on SamMobile.

The device, referred to as the GT-I9260 under the heading "Superior," will  feature the same 4.65" Super AMOLED display as the current Galaxy Nexus, and it will still run on a dual-core A9 processor, with a moderate performance bump from 1.2 to 1.5 GHz.

The biggest improvements coming are the phone's front- and rear-facing cameras - from 1.3 and 5 megapixels (respectively) up to 1.9 and 8 MP (the same as Samsung's Galaxy S III). The sequel to the Galaxy Nexus will also have a microSD slot, allowing expansion beyond the current 16 GB limit.

A release date and pricing details are probably a few months off. Given that the phone isn't trying to dethrone Samsung's line of high-end Galaxy handsets, we're betting on a competitive (i.e. low) price, and possibly a release announcement after the next few months' iPhone fervor have subsided.
