Samsung Nexus Prime (GT-I9250) Spotted Ahead of Launch [Upcoming Google Nexus 3 Android Ice Cream Sandwich Smartphone Found Again At Bluetooth SIG]
Those of you not interested in buying an iPhone 5 later this year will probably check out the Samsung Nexus Prime, which appears to be the main upcoming rival of Apple’s new flagship device.

Also known as the Galaxy Nexus and the Droid Prime, the Nexus Prime is basically Google’s next Nexus phone, the third-generation. The device is expected to be unveiled in just two weeks from now, at CTIA, and then be launched by Verizon in early November, possibly on the 3rd.

In the mean time the device has apparently stopped at the Bluetooth SIG for Bluetooth certifications, as you can see in the image above. THe name of the device has not been confirmed yet as we’re looking at a GT-I9250 device which is believed to be the codename of the next Nexus.
No images of the device have been made available at this time and Bluetooth SIG only reveals that the handset will sport Bluetooth 3.0 technology. Previous reports suggested that the Nexus Prime will be a device bigger than its predecessor, the Nexus S and sport a TI OMAP dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera, 2-megapixel front-facing camera, NFC, HDMI, LTE support and Android 4 Ice Cream Sandwich on board.
The phone is expected to be an exclusive for Verizon by some although others said a GSM version of it will hit certain U.S. carriers as well. The same GSM version should hit European and other international markets, although specific launch dates for the device are not yet available.
The Nexus Prime may turn out to be a best-seller Android handset these holidays, and considering Samsung’s Galaxy S II sales performance so far, the iPhone 4S/5 vs Nexus Prime duel will be one to watch this Christmas shopping season.
