The most popular and reasonable rumours:
  1. Google's next "Nexus" phone; stock Android "With Google" badging on Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4
  2. Built by Samsung, most likely running 1.2GHz Exynos Chip.
    Thus it is the stock ARM Cortex A9 Mali400 chip, slightly overclocked, and with small tweeks to produce it cheaper.
    (Some reporting it will be bumped to 1.5GHz, which is unlikely considering the Nexus S didn't overclock the Galaxy S.)
  3. Rumoured to have excellent battery life, unsure if this is because of software tweeks, but consensus is reporting a larger capacity battery one reporting a more modest 1,760mAh battery.
  4. On storage side, a 1GB RAM, 16GB internal NAND and microSD expansion slots are confirmed.
  5. Most likely supporting an 8MP Rear Camera with 1080p@30fps recording. Also has an LED flash, courtesy of Samsung Optics, of course.
  6. Left side Volume Rocker, Right side Power Button, Top side Headset Jack, Bottom side microphone hole and microUSB (with MHL support ?).
  7. Front consists of Ear Piece, 2MP camera (video calls), OEM logo and pure gorilla glass and curved to portrait.
  8. Most likely a Super Amoled (Not Plus).
  9. Screen resolution is 1280 x 720.
  10. Front-glass size is 4.59"
  11. Phone's screen size is 4.33", with 320ppi and 1184 x 720 resolution.
  12. There is 96 pixels dedicated to the Navigation Buttons on the bottom, and they consume 0.35" (or 8.8mm) of the panel.

Popular rumours:
  1. Some sources still say Ice Cream Sandwich will be 4.0, as to signify beyond Honeycomb.
    (Its more likely this number is reserved for Jelly Bean for Q2'12 when Google supposedly announces "something revolutionary" to the world).
  2. A slightly improved 1.5GHz TI OMAP4460 chip is also possible. The OEM can be Motorola considering Google's purchase.
  3. "Several" sources report an 2,000mAh battery.
  4. No other rumour besides listed above.
  5. No other rumour besides listed above, maybe optics sourced from another maker possible.
  6. A not-so probable rumour is that it will have microHDMI-out beside the microUSB located on the bottom left, which could add WebTop(or like) connectivity like Motorola's current crop.
  7. No other rumour besides listed above,
  8. Screen could be made from SLCD, or reserved for some variants due to OLED shortages like the Nexus One.
  9. 1280 x 800 rumour has been declined too many times.
  10. There is a dying rumour the front panel (whole plate) is 4.3"
  11. There is a dying rumour the phone's screen size is 4.0", which makes it an unbelievable (and unlikely) 345ppi
  12. No other rumour besides listed above.

Looks like Apple may be in trouble (ie have strong competition), how can the iPhone 4S stand against this or the subsequent improved models (Samsung Note, anyone) without level pricing for 8+ months ??
It's pretty much been confirmed that Nexus Prime will be Samsung made with a Samsung Screen and a Ti Processor.
