What exactly is it that bothers you with touchwiz? the look of the launcher? let´s just imagine that you put Nova on it...what is left then of the "uglyness"? Because I can´t see anything, even the rest of the UI that comes with TW just makes sense like hell and brings a bunch of very useful options. The only one thing that I can understand is if someone dislikes the contact-app - I dislike it too :) --> Go Contacts or Dialer Pro and everything is fine!
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Have you read about touch wiz and the fiasco with iOS? That it looks exactly like it... Touch wiz isn't for me man. Its too fruity. All those boxed apks and its "Fake" looking colors. Let's just say its a iOS look alike. :)

I love the Note 2, I just wouldn't spend money on it cause touch wiz. Hell I'm running my N4 stock since day one. How I feel running touch wiz? I would want that **** off asap. Lol.. So why would I bother spending money on something that's a mirror to a iPhone layout?
[Nexus 4 General] iCalculate:
It actually recently passed the 30 million milestone
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
I stand corrected on that one.

So the Note 2 isn't Sammy's top notch.. Close behind but not close to the S3.. Yet.
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
What on earth are you even talking about? Icons on the N2 look just like icons on Nova or icons on the N4...Lol. I guess I understand not like TW for some other strange reason, but at least get some of your facts straight before rattling off on here.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Wow. You must need glasses than.

Does it look anywhere near!? Touch wiz all boxy looking like iOS. Nice.

Don't hate cause touch wiz is just a mirror of iOS.

Look at the phone apk? Does it look like it?
[Nexus 4 General] Hexdecimal:
The 4G factor is the only thing holding me back from switching to the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Oh yea, I see what you're talking about...the screen is rectangular just like the iPhone :what:

Honestly not even sure what you're talking about...I just took this with my N2...I would love to know what you see that is so similar to the iPhone.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
The boxy icons!? Touch wiz.. Copying iOS? Ugggly.

That fugly camera apk on touch wiz. Poo

Food for thought.

[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Pleeeaaaassse tell me what icons you see on the screen capture I just took resemble the iPhone? I feel like I'm having a conversation with that kid in Jerry Maguire. You know the human head weighs 12 lbs?
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Last page check the link. All the apks Sammy copied. ;)

Bahahahah
[Nexus 4 General] rault18:
After four hours I was able to order a second n4 for the Gf ..woot
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Tell that to dip stick. Lol

I'm not the one rocking a iOS mock up ;)
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
That look like iOS?...

You honestly don't do the N4 crowd justice...you honestly would not buy a phone because a couple of icons slightly resemble the best selling phone in the world? Can't debate logic like that.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
I could care less if its the best selling phone in the world. There both butt ass ugly layouts. Don't care what Bill, Bob or Steve say. It is ****ing ugly to me. I hate touch wiz as much as I hate Apple. :)

Am I hurting you, cause I hate touch wiz? I'm sorry buddy. Bahaha

I would actually go for the iPhone.. At least they came up with the ideas. :)

Unlike Sammy.. Making touch wiz all pretty in pink hiding the fact that they clearly took the "box" look on apks.

[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Sorry...you're not hurting my feelings because you don't like TW...to each their own...competition is a good thing. I just find it incredibly frustrating to chat with people who create their own false narrative, then debate that narrative as fact. Enjoy your alternate reality...must be nice.
[Nexus 4 General] ssCISengineer:
Yea youre right. I mean what is that crazy guy talking about?

He told me I have 'no life' because my phone got 6 hours of screen on time....
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
Who knows. I don't mind debating phones or OS's...it's enjoyable to me. I just like to talk with people that are:

1. Mature

2. Have a grasp of the facts

This guy/girl does not fit the bill for either. Not the end of the world...the funny thing is they are all good phones...nothing against any of them really.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Hahahahahahahhahah

I'm not the one being butt hurt.. Its all good. Sorry, I don't sound mature over web chat. Lol, and thank you I'm living a hell of a life brotha. Just got back from Puerto Rico from a 7 month vacation. Back in my studio making beats. Living the big life my man. Again, sorry if I don't found mature.. I didn't know someone can tell so well via internet. Nice. Anyways have fun dudes! I'm out.

P.S. Touch wiz still fugly. :D

Anyone was able to put their order through at the google play store today???

I did after 4.5 hrs
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
I just saw someone post that shipping was showing 7-8 weeks. Wth?
[Nexus 4 General] rault18:
Yes ..for the 8 GB device ..but the 16 was only 2 to 3.

It was intense to not use curse words against Google

I felt like an apple barrista fanboy lol
[Nexus 4 General] Longcat14:
I don't even want to order the phone right now, because of long shipping haha. xD
[Nexus 4 General] qs504792:
Hmmm.. is this even a question... 17 hours of batt life... almost 4hours screen activity.. games, video recording, and surfing the web... and im able to get near 7000s quadrant scores.. oh and 96gb of storage? 2gb of ram... unlocked bootloader.. hmmmmmm... too many facts to list.

I do like the price of the nex.. thats about the only thing. BUT.. that does not make any device better. Just cheaper.. like it should be.
[Nexus 4 General] qs504792:
Google should have stuck with sammy. They lead in most tech. Kindof dissapointing.
[Nexus 4 General] rault18:
I don't know...sammy was getting boring..however lg? Not sure why they went that way instead of Sony or HTC
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
More dev support. That's mainly why I abandoned Note2 and went with Nexus4. And LCD screen. I am one of those who don't like SAMOLED screens.
[Nexus 4 General] qs504792:
In short time most screens of all types will be OLEDs. its the most efficent thinest screen type with endless possibilities. Your high if you choose an LCD over an OLED tv or any type of screen... just sayin, you probably went the cheaper way. I could understand if your complaint on the note 2 is DPI or screen size but we are talking gs3.. as Crapple would say, retina display.
[Nexus 4 General] brooon:
Fair answer...but honestly (as stated by many N2 users before), atm I have no need for MORE dev support (imao there is a lot jut after a few months :)), just because I love it like it is, there´s not much that can be optimized at all^^ great functions, great battery live, with nova and a few mods like transparent statusbar a perfect look...And I´m saying that as a flashing-addict for many years! :) For the first time, I am really able to USE a phone...really USE it...instead of working on it to bring it to perfection.
[Nexus 4 General] CaraMuuu:
What a bull****, so only Nexus owners know what an Android is? If you disable samsung bloatware and install a AOSP launcher lookalike you have 80% of a pure android experience in your galaxy. Still not a pure google, but don't be a nexus taliban plz...
[Nexus 4 General] brooon:
XDA - Behavior:

1.) Nexus user --> UPgrading their phones using CWM & apks

2.) TouchWiz user --> DOWNgrading their phones using CWM & apks

In common: Modifying one´s smartphone.

Avantages / Disadvantages:

1.) Nexus user --> Updates

2.) TouchWiz user --> Hardware & functions (e.g. S-Pen)

I there something like a better choice?

1.) Yes, for me it´s TW atm...I am allowed to use the whole package (TW) OR the Nexus variants (CM)

2.) No, I won´t recommend anything...everybody has his or her own taste and requirements. In fact, something like "S3 vs. Nexus" doesn´t make any sense in terms of a discussion, because everybody has his or her own reasons to stay with his or her choice. And I won´t recommend to hear on somebody else, even not to me ;)
[Nexus 4 General] qs504792:
LG probably has the most total worth... other than Samsung.. #2 on electronics lisst.. where is apple on this list??
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
there simply is no best phone.

if i like a phone more than others, whatever the reasons are, i go buy it and be happy :)
[Nexus 4 General] jodvova:
So just trying to summarize the pros and cons after wasted 16 pages:

Nexus 4 over SGS3:

- stock ROM and immediate updates

- sexy looking back

SGS over Nexus 4:

- Extendable storage

- Replaceable battery

- Better screen colors thanks to Super AMOLED

and that's all ?

As I understand speed wise, both smartphones are at the same level ?
[Nexus 4 General] Funky Games:
Yes, indeed.

Don't waste your time and choose Nexus 4 :)

The most important thing is stock ROM.
[Nexus 4 General] jodvova:
I do own SGS3 and I've been actually considering switching to Nexus 4 for some time.

Just getting facts about both phones to understand whether it's worth to switch.
[Nexus 4 General] brooon:
That´s all. Speed wise, you won´t recognize any difference (independent from every fanboy of each of the camps who will yell "X is faaaaster"^^)

Yes, indeed.

Don´t waste your time and choose S3 :)

The most important thing is camera, battery, display, SDcard, Framework-Choice,...availability... etc etc

:confused:

---------- Post added at 12:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ----------

I wouldn´t switch. If you were in the situation not having a phone, one can recommend the Nexus (because it´s cheap and nice ;)). But if you already are on an S3, I don´t see any reason to switch. What would you get MORE, that you don´t already have? You would loose a lot of functions. Even when Lime Pie will drive by...I´m sure that you will experience it soon enough over the Cm channel
[Nexus 4 General] Kushblow:
What are you talking about? How is the s3 camera better? Both phones have exactly the same Sony sensor and aperture. That's like me saying a banana is better than a ripe banana (ripe in this scenario meaning before a few firmware updates)
[Nexus 4 General] brooon:
I am talking from experience, do you? :) You haven´t compared them side by side, have you?! Visited comparison sites? Looked comparison videos?

It is an unwritten law that a LOT of the pic quality depends on the SOFTWARE on phones, not the hardware anymore. Just remember the first pics you got out of on HD2 after buying it with Windows Mobile and then remember the amazing difference after several months of android development.

It is the same here: Same sensor, but the TouchWiz camera is one of the very best image masters out there on android, if not THE best.
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
6 frames per second ain't bad either :)
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
This.

But, not everyone has the chance to test out both phones before deciding. That's why they posted the thread.

Stop saying AMOLED has better color. It does not. It had more saturated color. Does it look good? Its really up to you. Is it 'better' as color representation? No.
[Nexus 4 General] ILikeTheWayYouMove2:
If the nexus 4 had SD card slot it would be the best phone out there but no SD card slot makes it sh*tty IMO :/ no doubt its a good phone just not alot of storage

Xperia-Play

NXT 1.3 LE

YNWA!
[Nexus 4 General] biffsmash:
I had SGS3 since June and now Nexus 4. I've only had the Nexus 4 a few days but it's streets ahead of the SGS3.

The cameras are much the same, the software is better and much more fluid on the Nexus, none of the lagging and skipping of the SGS3, the build quality of the Nexus is much better, call quality is better on the Nexus, the Nexus notification light is better, screen on the Nexus is better once you're used to it, speaker is clearer on the Nexus.

The on screen buttons take up too much space so the buttons are better on SGS3, and the toggles are better on SGS3.

As for SD Card and Removable battery, i'm finally glad I haven't got Samsungs useless excuse for a back cover as they ALWAYS get squeeky and creaky after five minutes, and I don't personally need more than 16gb storage or have the need to use multiple batteries so the Nexus, for me, is a much much better phone.

Finally I have to say Samsung surprised the hell out of me with the SGS2 and the SGS3 also as they are excellent phones, considering how much rubbish samsung used to bring out, that is a coup for them, but now LG have done the same with the Nexus 4, and I have no doubt the HTC 1080p Deluxe or whatever it's called when it comes out will too.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
I owned the GS3 and then moved up to the GN2 and I also own the N4.. All 3 devices are great but the GN2 can't be beat right now with everything that it has to offer, you would only know this if you own a GN2, trust me;).. heres the thing, a lot of people always hated and still hate the iPhone(not talking about the operating system) but because it lacked 4G, non-removable battery, sdcard slot... these are the same exact features that the Nexus 4 lacks years after bashing the iPhone for the same things and now all of a sudden the N4 is cool/ the grates phone out...lol cmon now..lets be real.. the only thing that the N4 really has going over other phones in the market right now, is the price..:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] rani9990:
To each his own opinion, I don't get why all of you guys are fighting. Think about all them people stuck on the iPhone, thinking they own a device to beat every android. Some people *shakes head*
[Nexus 4 General] Thoughtful:
The Nexus 4 does have 4G. DC-HSPA is 4G. And before people say "no LTE is real 4G" current LTE is only leading up to LTE-Advanced which is "real" 4G.

Other than that, the iPhone lacked all of these things but it also wasn't running Android. Android + Price + Nexus = Win.
[Nexus 4 General] pyroemaniac:
I pay $33.xx on Verizon in north Carolina for my gs3 line... Just saying:D
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Best price? YES.. Best phone out? NO.. not saying its crap because is not.. I own the device its real nice but not the best.. at the end of the day it comes down to what works for that person.. But keep in mind that just because it works best for you it does not make it the best device out.. proof is in the pudding
[Nexus 4 General] Thoughtful:
Did you reply to the wrong person?
[Nexus 4 General] jtroye32:
Battery life isn't so bad..

Also, quadrant probably isn't optimized to take advantage of the hardware in the Nexus, the last update was June 9th. What is your Antutu score? They just updated recently and the nexus 4 went from around 12k to about 18k stock.

I've used them all, and honestly feel this is the smoothest. If you don't care about storage over 16gb it's THE phone IMHO. Also I could not stand the blobs on AMOLED screens that are seen at night in a dark area on a dark background. Colors were very vibrant and nice but the blobs ruin it for me. It was of varying degrees depending on the calibration and other variables but most screens have them to varying degrees.
[Nexus 4 General] agabe:
I owned several phones, and only the last one-one and half years it was lg optimu 7, nexus-s, galaxy s2, galaxy s3, galaxy nexus, iphone 4.

Now I have iphone 4s, and nexus 4 (and some tablets)

I can't say if the galaxy s3, or the nexus 4 is a better phone...some details better in the galaxy s3, and some in the nexus 4. Everybody has a different preferences, and of course there are no perfect phone (no company want to make one...they can be able, but not interested).

After galaxy s3 for mee it's clear (it is my preference), that android 4 needs more than 1gig ram, maybe the only phone with 1 gig ram is the galaxy nexus what works perfect on jelly bean too, but any other have problems. Dos not matter wich screen, or camera is better, wich phone has or hasn't micro sd slot, or removable battery...if there is no more than 1 gig ram, it will be not enough in 2013 to work good enough.

Of course if somebody use the phone different way, he/she can not feel the same, thats why galaxy s3 can be better. It depends on the person.

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
to tell you the truth, I can't really tell the difference in speed between my wife's gs3 and my n4. I think a high-end dual core processor is plenty enough for everyday use. only reason I opted for the n4 over the s3 is because I prefer stock android. honestly they're both really nice phones. also IMO the screen isn't all it was cracked up to be on the n4. don't get me wrong, its really nice but the HOX is better. either way I'm happy with my choice:D

Damn out of 10hrs the screen was on for 6 lol that's some serious usage. This is only my first charge cycle so can't really comment on battery yet. I had the s3 for a little over a month and the only thing I find better is the camera. Both are amazingly fast with excellent screens that's all that really matters to me and the fact that I'll get timely updates. Tmobile took forever to release jb on s3 and it was all to promote the note2 as the first jb phone on the network. I'm sick of companies doing that so I switched to my first nexus
[Nexus 4 General] kirvad:
I finally got my nexus 4, and S3 have also. IMHO, whis is not seen on the video, but Display of S3 is much better then of Nexus 4, Camera to. Technically, both are quite similar, but slightly faster CPU of S3.

I bought gs3 because at that time it had most powerful gpu&cpu and also it was unlocked and at Lower price .

I agree those buy it now will be just going for popularity like iPhone buyers but if you say that for the past buyers then I totally disagree. (There could be some other reasons too)

Its like 6months from now n4 gets hugely popular but new better phones come out and someone says that nexus 4 is for those people who have no knowledge of android.
