New Galaxy Nexus variant passes through FCC. Plus, Samsung confirms software update to address the reported volume bug and retailers hint possible release date: December 15th.
Mobile Technology News – The Verizon Wireless Galaxy Nexus doesn’t have a release date yet, and it looks like more countries will get the device first before the United States.
According to a report posted by Wireless Goodness, a non-LTE Galaxy Nexus variant has made an appearance on the FCC. The Galaxy Nexus variant, the GT-I9250 with HSPA+ connectivity has popped up at the FCC which supports GSM 850/1900 and WCDMA II/IV wireless bands. The report added that the new Galaxy Nexus variant supports the wireless bands used by AT&T in the United States. Is it possible that the new Galaxy Nexus model is for AT&T’s network? And where’s the Verizon Wireless variant?
There’s also a possibility that the new Galaxy Nexus variant is for Canada’s carriers. According to Mobile Syrup, Bell and Virgin are scheduled to release the Galaxy Nexus this month holding a “semi exclusive” contract, but other carriers like Rogers and Telus are expected to follow suit early next year. Here in the United States, speculation about the future of the Galaxy Nexus continue.
AT&T recently posted a Galaxy Nexus-related question on their Google+ account. The wireless carrier asked its fans/customers if they want an AT&T Galaxy Nexus because “they can share interest (here) with (their) product teams.” Apparently, AT&T quickly deleted the post, but it started a round of new speculation based on the previous FCC documents, and Verizon’s limited exclusivity.
Speaking of Verizon Wireless, rumors about the release date of the first LTE Galaxy Nexus continue, and the latest is coming from Engadget, claiming that the device with model number SCH-i515 will arrive on Best Buy stores on December 11th. The SCH-i515 is the Verizon Wireless variant with the Long Term Evolution technology according to multiple reports, including the FCC document posted last month.
December 11th is Sunday, so it looks like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus may not arrive until the 15th of December if Verizon will still follow its “Thursday release date” rule. According to Negri Electronics, an online third-party smartphone retailer, they are set to receive the first Verizon Galaxy Nexus stock on the 9th of this month which is two days ahead of Best Buy’s rumored first “G-Nex” stock. The confirmation from Negri is obviously adding credence to the possible December 15th release date.
Last week’s Galaxy Nexus rumors said the phone could arrive on December 8th alongside the new Droid 4. According to last week’s report posted by Droid Life, two documents related to the Galaxy Nexus have the December 8 date, but the site is claiming that documents are for “marketing materials.”
Still according to the rumor mill, the Galaxy Nexus is reportedly delayed due to the volume bug issue plaguing the small number of early adopters of the HSPA+ variant. Samsung has confirmed via its Facebook UK fan page that the “fix for the Galaxy Nexus volume issue” will reach all the handsets in the coming week.
