LTE vs. GSM Galaxy Nexus Thickness Comparison

Last night Google updated the Galaxy Nexus landing page with snazzy image of the LTE variant. This is the one that Verizon customers are patiently waiting for. Up above the LTE version is on the left, and there are some obvious differences right off the bat.

First thing you’ll notice is it’s thicker, but we already knew that. Samsung confirmed the LTE version would be thicker almost immediately after the Hong Kong event. More recently Google gave us the exact dimmensions, listing the LTE version at 9.47mm thick. That puts the DROID RAZR as the only thinner LTE phone on Verizon.

The next difference is color. The GSM version on the right has a nice metallic silver look. The LTE version has been covered in a stealthy black. It also looks like the small power icon next to the power/lock button has been removed. All in all, these changes are nothing to freak out about.

Just got my galaxy nexus lte variant (verizon), and it does indeed have the power icon above the power button

Yup, Droid-Life updated their pic. I have done the same.

Thay have no s d card the headphone jack is on the bottom that sucks.

I appreciate the effort and passion, but honestly I'm not sure why this blog exists. I know most sites just recycle others' information, but DroidDog is especially bad. I mean, most of the information posted here has usually been posted 4 or 5 other places before, and often much later. Even the narration of most posts (like this one) is virtually identical to the original source link. And when supposedly "new" rumors have been posted, it's regularly been highly suspect and eventually proven wrong. I realize it's my prerogative to read it or not. But I'd really appreciate some unique information or commentary. I'm  not trying to be critical, but rather helpful - I'd love another site to consistently visit to read really interesting news and opinion. The site doesn't really have the best reputation in the Android community, so perhaps it might be better to rethink the journalistic focus before it's too late.

Not everyone reads 4 or 5 other blogs. News is news, and we have to cover it even if we're not the first ones. For some people this is their only source of Android news.

You screwed up the angle of the LTE version when you snapped your screenshot.  I can see the shiny surface of the camera bump instead of just the profile.  This makes the device look thicker than if you get the angle correct, but it gets rid of some of the ugly image aliasing that you see if you angle it for an exact profile shot.

Jason's right. As other site's have (accurately) pointed out, the difference isn't nearly what it appears here.

Sorry, Droid-Life updated the pic and so have I.

Wow that's ugly. Even the color if different and ugly...

LTE ='s fatness

LTE = Lost The sExy

That's a matter of opinion. I like it a lot more, actually. Thinness really doesn't phase me that much. If I wanted thin, I would hit up the Razr. The color is much better for my tastes as well.
