[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Its hard to say. They basically doubled the performance cpu/gpu also so it is hard to draw a conclusion. From the experience I've had with electronics, I would venture to say it will be about on par with the nexus. I would say slightly worse, but it comes with 2100mah battery evening it out. Battery mizers can expect around 4.5-5h screen and heavy users gamers 4h or less. On a GSM version. I would be very surprised to see this phone get 6h screen out of the box. Turning off cores, underclocking and undervolting will help some but not dramatically.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
You aren't serious about the battery are you? No matter hoe bad it is, it can never be worse than the Nexus. I mean GSMArena pretty much summed it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
At my shop there are 6 people that own nexuses. From 1 bone stock all the way to full screen modded. 2 have the seidio 3800 and usually get 4ish hours screen on time. The other few are on the stock battery and live off the charger.

The cdma nexus prob has the worst battery life but it is such a nice phone that its tolerable for most. 2 hr screen time on 3g/4g is blah though. I don't expect the gs3 to get worse battery life than the nexus. The new krait processor is more power friendly even at higher speeds. My wife's sprint gs2 does pretty well for a stock phone. I would at least expect that and better from newer technology.

The illuminated camera is no gimmick. Video that stays playing when i get a text is no gimmick. I think the one x/s has an illuminated camera also and has been proven to be a fantastic camera. Gaming? Lol its 2012, any decent smartphone can play temple run. I'm not trying to play cod on my phone but since I can pair a ps3 remote to my maxx it would be cool. But regardless they all can knock out all necessary tasks. Including the nexus. No one here came here to bash the beloved nexus. It is the first to drop w ics. Hard to argue. But some of the options are not gimmicks and it would be nice to see other phones benefit from these new software upgrades. I would love for my phone to not black out if I'm reading an email. Eye tracking software seems to take care of that.

I just dont see the gimmick. Whether you get one or not, arguing that its **** when its all better is silly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Famous (and stupid), last words.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
On a 4.8 inch screen, it sure is. I also don't watch my youtube videos in porrtait mode for similar reasons.

That is a feature I would find very useful...on a tablet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Paraphrased the words right outta my mouth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigwillis:
People don't realize this is a galaxy nexus forum.,and yes we read up on **** before we make a new phone purchase....and my reading tells me get a nexus because of updates from google / pure Android experience / great dev support ....IMO only the next nexus will maybe be worth an upgrade from the current one ....as for the gs3 just another tw phone .....what ever happened to going from capacitive buttons to on screen buttons.? I thought that in itself was innovative ,. But not on the gs3 with ics ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Okay, the pure android experience thing is just an opinion. Not everyone wants that. People like me like Sense more. Galaxy S II has amazing dev support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
So does the Galaxy Nexus. You know, what this forum is dedicated to? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
I will most likely get it, I like the design too.. I like everything about it in fact.. and it is a big step forward.. I can't remember the gs2 bringing a huge number of updates over gs1

Sent from my Samsung GNexus <3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
It was in response to your comment. J didn't disagree to it. Just said that the Galaxy Nexus is not the only phone with great support.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigwillis:
I realize this mane...and IM just saying this is a galaxy nexus forum......for people who mainly like pure Android...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Glad to know there are people like you here :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Wireless charging will be awesome! I can image laying my phone down on my night stand before going to bed without plugging anything in and waking up to it fully charged.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Amazing. Truly amazing. What will they of next? Breathing tubes and bottles of oxygen?

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I agree I love sense lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
What is this a reference to?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Too much too plug it in? I am skeptical of how well wireless charging will work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
How passive technology makes a lot of people.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
Too lazy to plug your laptop to an ethernet cable? Even if it's not perfect at first, it's one less cable to worry about and a step in the right direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
My router does not charge a battery. And I just see wireless charging being more of an inconvenience that plugging in one less cable and for that matter where is the power for the wireless charging coming from? Something is getting plugged in to something to get power so that really does not give you one less cable to worry about. How close does the phone have to be to the source for it to charge? What happens if something gets in between the two? Will it still charge? How long will it take to fully charge? All I'm saying is that I doubt it will be as logical and efficient as a cable. It seems more of a gimmick to me that a truly useful feature
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
I see what you're saying, what I meant was one less cable from my phone to worry about.. you only plug in the base once and leave it there. We'll just have to see how well it works once it's released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
It may be that it is very convenient and highly functional but I just don't think it will be. I may very well be wrong. Opinions as they say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Wireless drop and go pads have been out for a few years. You plug the pad into the wall lay your phone on the pad. No fiddling for a cable and one less time you have to plug your phone into a micro USB. Less wear and tear IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Now that is a better reason to have wireless charging. But I prefer the pogo pin dock for less wear and tear and listening to music when I am using my laptop.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Exodian:
Then perhaps my skepticism is unjustified. Either way I'm OK with using my cable. Has not failed me yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
Have you never seen the touch stone wireless charging for the palm pre? Pretty much answers it all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
how much mah do those pads put out? i like how the adapter can charge the phone in about 2 hours doubt the pad can match that but 6-700mah would be pretty good too.

i have a few devices and two phones that i plug in everyday so the idea of one pad to charge everything would be great.

anyone know if the wireless charging chip is in the phone or battery itself?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The palm pre version puts out 1 amp (1000 mA). Just today my friend is altering his new sprint nexus to use it with his old wireless charger touch stone. It charges same rate as stock charger, 1000 mA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
I still don't see why the mods just move the thread elsewhere.

Also, my nexus gets better battery life than any phone in existence.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I was told to stop reporting it as off topic, because folks found it interesting. I guess as long as it is interesting, it is fine to be off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I find boobs interesting. Can we talk about that? Heck, somebody can post Megan fox painted boobs and its OK.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axion68:
Or a Sonicare toothbrush.

Wish wireless charging was standard on everything. Saves wear on USB port.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jakestash:
The announcement of the Galaxy SIII was what made me buy the nexus. I waited a month to get a new phone and was very disappointed in the design and specs. Mine comes in tomorrow. Can't wait to start using this great phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Those were nice. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
That's fine, but can they just move it to GSIII General? It's clogging up my view of the relevant threads.

Even though I keep bumping this one and such.

Also, my Nexus wirelessly charges up to 9000m away from the charger.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
Notice how Samsung have kept the terminology at 'illuminated', rather than specifically stating it to be a 'backlit camera' (as is on the One X)? ;)

If you put a higher capacity fuel tank into a vehicle without making any changes to the vehicle, you will see the car lasting longer on the road. If you higher capacity fuel tank into a vehicle but also place a much higher performance engine into it at the same time, the change that your car will last longer than it used to is pretty low. Of course we'll have to wait until extended tests have been performed, however at the current standpoint the 2100mAh battery combined with the beefy specs will result in... Less than satisfactory results. Only an idiot will think 2100 = better automatically.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Not necessarily. The Corvette has gotten faster and faster and the new one are getting 27+ highway. But that's highway and not hammering it. But if you make that same high performance engine...design it to make more power w less consumption then you will be talking about the new chipsets.

Even if it only gets 3 hr screen on time on 3g (cdma style) ,that's already in the ball park of smaller screen cdma smartphones. I would plan of putting a larger battery in immediately. My wife will be grabbing one launch day coming from a sprint gs2. I will be still toting old faithful RAZR maxx.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kcharng:
Looking at how Galaxy 2 user start to squirm when Galaxy 3 comes out. I would never want to go back to Samsung galaxy line. Nexus is what a phone suppose to be, not a fashion statement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Not fashion here lmao. My wife takes a lot of pics and a better camera w 2 kids make a huge difference. She is on sprint and we aren't too happy. I am on Verizon. I left sprint and came back to big red because they dominate my area. She is only still w sprint be aide she likes her gs2 that much and it is a very nice phone. She hasn't came to Verizon because they havent had a galaxy s2 or better to her. I have a RAZR maxx and she doesn't like it. She loves touch wiz. That's why we are buying the gs3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
It's not confirmed that the new chip set decreases battery drain, as as far as anyone should be concerned the battery is going to be drained pretty fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
I honestly don't have a site to back that up. I came across a few websites talking about s4 vs exynos4 vs Tegra 3. They mentioned I think tegra3-46nm, exynos4-32nm, s4-28nm. Those numbers might not be 100% accurate but went on to day that the s4 could be the most efficient processor yet. Out doing my 4430 and the 4460 in terms on power vs frequency and constantly adapting voltage per core as the majority of new top end phones are doing (much more refined than current phones are employing). So on terms of battery life and how efficient the panel is should the one of the main deciding factors of the nexus vs gs3 in terms of consistent battery life. The 2100 or 2150 should be a decent kick to a stock nexus so it should be comparable but nevertheless better in theory to the gs3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You would think. Maybe if more people report it? I was told I was the only one when they closed my report. Seems a little silly that there are GS3 forums but no pressing need to move relevant threads to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Its especially irrelevant because most of the people still commenting don't even own the galaxy nexus...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
It seriously makes no sense that this thread exists in the Galaxy Nexus General forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckoadiyn:
Threads like this pop up in every forum I go to for my devices so not shocking....

Even tho it doesn't say nexus I do have one :D just am on this phone cause gf uses the other one maybe others are doing the same or similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
And I imagine more gs3 users and threads will pop when the phone actually launches. Just what we need. An addition to the gs2 generation of small wee wees along with gs3 of even smaller wee wees.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
Finally. Someone said it :) only dudes that have small wieners drive sports cars lol. Must be an exotic then hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Oh its been said. And more and more of those sports car driving freaks are fixing to let us know how fast their cars are. I almost hope the gs3 gets ****ty gas mileage. Hehe.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phillmitchell:
How can anyone owning a nexus be disappointed ? I have a galaxy s2 and galaxy nexus and would say the sgs2 is by far the better phone so the sgs3 is on a different planet.i'm selling both my phones to buy the sgs3.that's how disappointed I am with the nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kvizz:
came from a white t989.

love the nexus way more, but with the new gs3 figures... who knows!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
Lol you guys are just so sad. Seriously, don't you have the ability to ignore the thread if you don't like it?!?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Say you lived under a bridge. If there was a troll living underneath that same bridge with you would you ignore him? No, you'd tell him to get out of your home. There are a couple of problems with this:

1. Its public property. He has just as much as a right to be there as you.

2. He's a troll. He's just gonna annoy you more now.

So tell me....WILL YOU GET OUT FROM UNDERNEATH MY BRIDGE?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sagiballs:
my first smartphone was a HTC incredible S. My second was a galaxy nexus. In between I have tried numerous friend's phones. All phones have software bugs, or things that you wish could be optimised. My HTC effed up the timestamping on msgs so everything came in jumbled. This pissed me off to no end, 5 months later - no fix. And i will probably never see a fix. Lucky i've handed that off to the GF when the nexus came.

I will stick with future nexi because a) google provides way more timely updates for us and b) even though my carrier in Australia won't push them, my bootloader is easily unlockable and I know there is an amazing community here who will help me get the update done. It may not be the fastest or have the best specs, but it always felt like (for at least the last two) android was made for the nexus line. Furthermore, i also feel like it is getting to the point where phone development is platteauing, single to dual core was a huge step up... now i don't see much further development, especially because the battery is not advancing much either...

My two cents. Also GS3 is butt ugly, and my gosh touchwhiz murders ICS. pure sweet virgin ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I agree. Lets remove all forum categories and just have one big, massive forum.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
+1. Forum categories seem to be meaningless anyways.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beeboss:
Lol Your own whinning posts make this thread even bigger haha:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkgoon3r96:
+1 lmao
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
OK let's keep the trolling to a minimum here.

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Why does this thread get reinstated but mine does not?

They are both equally irrelevant...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Man these threads are funny...

Anyway the GSIII honestly looks like a decent device, but the next Nexus with the latest and greatest OS will be out most likely at the end of the year if Google keeps to its usual release schedule, which to me doesn't make it to appealing.

However, is it me or does the new GSIII shape kinda bite the Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Cuz the mods like gs3 fan boys. Or something like that.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
I always thought the General section was for post loosely related to the device, like peoples rants, random polls, comparisons, etc. I took it as since Samsung has released its new flagship phone what to how do GNex users feel about it? But people interpret relevance differently.

But hey, I guess everything is at the discretion of the mod at the time your thread posted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I guess. I even had a discussion with one of our mods who after moving mine to android general, agreed with me and moved this one as well.

I don't see how the gsiii is any more relevant than the T-Mobile prism.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
LOL...android has gotten to the point we have internal fan boys..love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Would it be best to have one thread just for upcoming phone releases? Trying to make everyone happy is difficult.

Thanks

FNM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
I think the solution is to merge all gs3 threads into a big super thread. Just the way gs3 fan boys like it. Big and super. And confused. Lol.

let it be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atrako1973:
I like Samsung aproach and direction with sg3 unlike HTC
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
That, or move them to the actual GS3 forum. There really is no excuse to have any GS3 threads here.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1564
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superalphajellybean:
Hardware wise I'm impressed but design wise not so much and I'm sure this is how some others feal about it too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HeCareth:
Honestly...I don't think so. Isn't that what the main thread for different phones and general rumors threads are for? Everyone has their opinion. You can't help that. Your a mod and your going to do things that some people will hate and others will love. It happens, people just need to stop taking it too personal

Like the guy a few post back said, "Let it be"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I think the best solution is to move threads about other phones to their devices forum. Then, point people in the right direction.

I created my thread out of jest because it was getting quite annoying to see the majority of the threads on the front page of the galaxy nexus general forum about either the gsiii or touchwiz ports.

Keeping this thread here just sets a bad example for new xda users. We already have enough irrelevant posts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
This. No matter how interesting or popular a topic is, there is a place for it and as long as the GS3 forums exist, this forum is not it. I don't want to see the topic closed, but rather the topic go to the place it is destined to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
So what do you do with upcoming phones that don't have a forum because they are not released? A lot of users stick to one forum and would like to read about upcoming devices. Even the Moderator forum has an SGS3 thread, so does the Epic4G and most other devices. I think one thread for upcoming device releases would be a good place for them to look then we can lock new device threads and point to that one. Without all the trolling this thread would have died a week ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Deal with it as it comes up? Not every phone comes here, and just because all the others have GS3 threads, doesn't negate the need to move the thread. Isn't there a general Android forum? Makes more sense than this one.

I mean, why have GS3 forums if nobody cares if GS3 threads are scattered across other non-relevant forums?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stkiswr:
But didn't a nexus member start this thread. Makes more sense to complain if a nonmember or owner started it in a nexus forum rather than bash a thread that has brought up good and bad points and opinions all based on the original thread your own forum member started.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
Seriously guys, u're fighting over a thread subject, go out get laid or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingnaldo28:
I think that the op, want to listen the opinions of gnex owners
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Exactly. Bottom line is if you don't like a thread hit ignore, bypass it, let it be. The more you post the longer it stays on top.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dxtra:
An my the only one that preferred plastic over metal, silver like it the iPhone . I hate the feel of it, especially something that's in your hands 24/7. So event if is made out of whatever people desire most people put a plastic rubber case on it anyways. So what gives? Plus plastic phone are much lighter and don't intervene with reception. Good gob SAMSUNG keep it up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
What a joke. F-it. I give up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Bro, you asked what we felt you should do. I mirror El Daddy's sentiment. Whatever.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KennyG123:
Up

I appreciate everyone's input. Looking back on this thread it is 90% flaming and trolling. It served it's purpose on the first 3 days then turned into crap. More new phones will be announced soon and more threads will appear. So I will go with the original idea to make a thread regarding upcoming devices in comparison to the G-Nex. That will keep it relevant to this device and I will watch it closely.

New phone discussion continues here:

After going from an iPhone 4 to a gs2 to the galaxy nexus I do have to say I miss the power of the galaxy s series . I will go to the s3 . One thing I am disappointed about was the amount of bugs I've had and I've seen posted , the galaxy nexus is great in terms of design and screen but everything else us so so.

I will be updating my contract in may, so I might get the one x or the s3 .

And in terms of updates I found the s2 updates came out just as quick honestly

Hey troll.

E.g A Nokia Lumnia running Wkndows 8 has lack of support for Android OS. Does that mean the Lumnia has a compatibilty issue? No it just isnt designed for it. Bloody hell...thought fanboys would be less on this forum...

Coming from a guy with past phones like DHD,SGS and SGS 2 i would say i'll take nexus any time.

I'm really fine with the gnex for some reason. Usually I have the itch to upgrade but since I've experienced vanilla android there's no turning back for me. The only thing that would tempt me is the next nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thas5:
Some of you people must have money growing on trees.

Anyway, I'm fine with my Nexus since it gets the job done & the power in the GSIII seems kind of irrelevant at this point. When my contract is over, there will be an even better phone. I can wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barondebxl:
I checked the one x forum and there is lots of complain about sense. Lag and sense restarting. Touchwiz is far more stable.

I totally agree with you. The Galaxy S 2 development is one of the biggest ever for any android phone and there is no question that the Galaxy S3 will get great dev support. Anyone arguing this is either a hater or an idiot.
