Is it worth waiting for this phone?

I'm debating if I should wait for this phone or go for the Droid Razr Maxx HD. But the Maxx is like double the price...
[Nexus 4 General] mark manning:
Both are great phones...

Verizon's network is unmatched but its technology is mainly only in the US. Also since its Verizon it takes forever to get updates. Personally, now that I have had a nexus I will never go back. I even paid an etf to leave Verizon early to get this phone. The support from Google can't be beat not to mention the support from the Dev community is vastly greater than what you will see from the RAZR...

I hope one day Moto releases a nexus with one of their giant batteries in it.

[Nexus 4 General] i860:
Hi

I have a Nokia N900 from 2009 till december 2012 ( well i bought one more from ebuy for backup ) and i love the for his unique abilities. In December i purchase the nexus 4. Now i cant let him down from my hands, battery is great. Only things down are camera ( focus ) i can live with than, and the music volume is low. The most fantastic thing is recovery. To reinstall all my things on N900 will take a day, on nexus 4 ( not the only one i guess ) it take a few minutes.

I'm really interested in replacing my second phone (iPhone 4s) with this... My main phone is galaxy s3, I'm not sure that I can justify the spend though when the octacore devices are around the corner, either an 8 cored galaxy s device, note or nexus would be the real deal so I think I will wait but I'm still tempted all the same.

I can't see how anything could improve on the s3 but I've said that about so many mobile devices that I'm not going to be surprised when tech kicks our arses in the upcoming 2013 generation/cycle.

Only 4 cores are actually ever used at once in the octacore phones. 4 cores are used for heavier tasks. 4 are used for low power tasks like when the screen is off. They are never used at the same time.

Still floating around on the nexus 4 forums, since I traded mine for an iphone 5 32gb. Searched craigslist and there is a n4 16gb with few cases at $450, thinking about it but debating if I want to wait for the galaxy s4 or a new blackberry. Probably going to sign a contract pending what my carrier has to offer and sell one either the iphone 5 or whatever I purchase. I have been fairly content without rooting & customization, but jailbreak is hopefully coming soon.

Things I miss are : data speeds, I only have "2d/edge" till network is refarmed. Some customization but I am very content with not checking for updates on roms and daily flashing of roms.

I would have preferred the Nexus 4 over the Note 2 if the former had a microSD slot or a 32GB variant. As it stands I can't help but prefer the Note 2.

The microSD slot won't ever happen but it's still not too late for a 32GB to be released someday. I'm sure that's only for Google's tablet game though.:(

[Nexus 4 General] friend'scatdied:
Nexus 4 camera sucks. It's not the worst but it is below average.

Decent sensor, bad implementation.
[Nexus 4 General] azrash:
hard to say. Coming from a desire z, the camera is decent enough for me. Not as good as my friend's S3. But it does the job for me. I use the camera to take pictures of documents that I convert into PDF files using the handy scanner app, so far, it produces clear enough images for PDF files.

It does leave my friend who converted from S3 wanting more from the camera. So your expectation might vary. I suggest looking for real sample shots, there are a lot over the Internet and I do believe there is a thread about it too. If you can test it at a retail store, that would give you a better idea of the performance of the camera. I heard that Germany have it in stock at a store called media markt, not sure whether it is a retail store or an online store. You can test it there and order from play store for a cheaper price if you want to.

[Nexus 4 General] dr.m0x:
It's in the bootloader. Just hold down power button and volume down keys simultaneously while the phone is off until the bootloader appears.
[Nexus 4 General] zakoo2:
you mean in rev11 its not that likely to smash?

i have rev11 and im really worried that it will spontaneously crash like ive read about at least two people who had this.

especially that i come from a defy which is a rugged phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] add119:
I guess I'll throw my opinion out there...

After owning the Google g1, HTC G2,HTC HERO,htc thunderbolt,Motorola cliq,droid,droid 2 global,droid 3,droid razr,droid bionic, lg revolution. all galaxy s family from verizon to sprint and nexus s. Now nexus 7 I think android is great but sometime the os feel beta. Dont get me project butter is nice but google need to work on reconization on gesture of finger.
[Nexus 4 General] Kazliux:
every phone will smash, no matter what revision it is. Just be careful with the device. On the record, I don't know if it's stronger from the rev11, but back has some differences compared to rev10. It's your phone, your decision.

I felt the exact same way with android and then had an iPhone for 10months until two days ago and got the nexus 4. Large iOS version bumps' like iOS 6.0 always feel like betas. I remember iOS 5.0 was very slow, everything felt slow and it wasn't until iOS 5.1 that they fixed the performance issues. With ios6 the new maps drove me crazy. I'm an expat... So I avoided the latest os. Not upgrading is horrible, over time apps start requiring the latest os and forces you to stay with an old version of the app, or worse... If you didn't download an old version of the app then you simply can't install the app!

Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is gorgeous and always full of great apps, but they too have their beta feeling moments.
[Nexus 4 General] add119:
Me too iOS have finger recognition hand down and still smoother . I regret giving it to my cousin I forget to mention I had droids incredible which nexus one with 8 GB internal instead of 215 mb the nexus one had. Droid x and evo 4g. I still feel like android need to correct smoothness and finger recognition. My iPhone 4 felt smoother then my droid razr which is better on specs and speed.

IPhone slowdown at time and rarely. I receive was based on low temperature and if u didn't close 10 apps or better multitask app drawer in bottom it show some signs of it.

But not like android.

Apple does get force closes at time I went to setting they show on the diagnose log of apps u download. But the way it close 85% of time u don't notice it.

IOS 6 is smoother then android 4.1 or 4.2 os project butter

Motorola already has a water proof phone since RAZR from 2011.

I wait if I was you until galaxy s4 comes out in may or June 2013 or see Motorola x which is to be next nexus 5 or first android 5.0 os phone

Personally with HTC I don't trust them they suck at update just like lg has also.

Lg is only good with hardware not update department. That why if u pick lg it should be nexus .

Samsung and Motorola seem to be top dog in update with Sony behind.
[Nexus 4 General] coolqf:
Let me start with the phone is great, but I felt it had out grown my needs... And it was mostly just a ton of small things.

1 small screen

2 android has a better notification interface

3 poor battery life

4 often items would load into the notification, but not in into the actual app. Example: you receive a long what's app message and you go into the subway. You can read the preview from the notification, but you need to wait for internet to return for it to appear in the app.

5 Apple maps is the default app. If you receive a Google maps link from a PC it will always use Apple maps even if you have Google maps. The same with other apps, if you click on show it in map it loads apple maps....

6 iPhone email app is OK. images only load when you open the message. With android you get the option to have the message fully download in the background. I real pain if checking messages in the train.

7 Google play automatically updates your app store location when you travel. Great for downloading local apps. With the iPhone you have to manually change the location.

8 you can only send one picture at a time via email and you have to start your messages by going to the photo app first.

9 the apple appstore does this thing where you can only buy apps with a local credit card. So, in turkey I have to use a credit card with a local address and a credit card from France won't we work....

I can keep going.... But you get the idea on how iOS and I simply weren't meant to be :)
[Nexus 4 General] add119:
Well my iPhone unlike most had good battery because I charge my phone for 4 to 6 hour off not on.

IOS felt boring to me.

Apps was great.

But something felt like it was missing is.

Unlike android os

Android to me these key feature that I miss that iOS can't replace without jail breaking:

Download music from net.

Offline reading was better on android.

Micro HDMI input.

Download movies or any file.

Android os is customized

File manager

Widget

Micro SD support

live wallpaper

Screen bigger

Have more one button to navigate

[Nexus 4 General] zakoo2:
yeah the iPhone has Google maps now... great... but you still can't set it as default. if you open a link pointing at a location, it still directs you to Apple maps...

and don't get me started on what other things Android has on iOS...

so the iPhone 5 can't beat the Nexus 4 software wise. (maybe the camera, if it really is a driver problem with the N4)

but it surely does have better battery life (although considering the significantly smaller screen it's not that surprising), LTE (which is not really available outside the US yet), and bigger storage. it's a shame the N4 doesn't support OTG, if it did, this wouldn't bother me. i must also mention the lack of NFC, although i haven't really seen any advantages of having it yet.

aaand the N4 doesn't stand a chance against the iPhone in a drop test.

but it costs half the price!

so there is no definite winner IMO, everyone should choose the phone which fulfills their needs the most.

and a bit of OT:

when will the xda premium app get a holo interface?? it really starts to look dull now. it really bothers me that i have paid for this app (the app of the biggest mobile development community), and it still hasn't been updated, even though holo has been out for more than a year. :@

I would say that in the past, iPhone definitely offered a superior overall experience to android. Now with amazing phones like the Galaxy S3 and Nexus 4, it's definitely a much tighter race.

If anything I think we have the slight edge now. The latest generation of Androids is noticeably better than the last and this year's phones will undoubtedly be even better again. I had the Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 4. These are a good example because they run pretty near identical software but the N4 definitely feels like a much improved beast.

On the other hand the iPhone 5 does not offer a very compelling case to upgrade if you already have a 4s, unless of course you really need the extra row of icons.

The Galaxy Nexus was released on what was considered to be already outdated hardware. I'd more-so consider the Galaxy Nexus to Nexus 4 to be comparable to upgrading to the iPhone 5 from the iPhone 4 - there is a noticeable difference there, in both software and hardware.
[Nexus 4 General] dr.m0x:
Yeah I'm aware of the average hardware in the gnex, I used it as an example because the software itself is apples to apples. Both phones run android 4.2. Maybe it was a bad choice. You could just as easily look at the Galaxy s2, which was considered to have good hardware at release. The s3 is noticeably better in both hardware and software (extra features of the new touchwiz).

It's a much bigger step up, in my opinion, than that from the 4s to the 5 even though we are talking about a similar time frame.

I hate being undecided on this! Really like the simplicity of the ios and feel of the iphone 5 but being on 2g speeds all the time is getting old. Although I do use wifi majority of the time, but to look up something while away from wifi is SLOW!!!

[/COLOR]Galaxy nexus have droid razr specs with three expectations camera, 315 PPI and resolution. Beside galaxy nexus was second best device behind HTC rezound that earth shattering specs like droid DNA. HTC had best specs for second year in row at end of year. But , like HTC sucks at update ppl overshadowed the rezound. Droid DNA is better then nexus 4 also. So galaxy nexus wasn't outdated like stated.

Droid RAZR was pretty much the same expect for three features and not having ICS at time of gnex released.

Galaxy s3 better in what advertising? Having multiple carriers??? If HTC was to due the same in 2011 or 2012 they wouldn't be in bankruptcy . they like playing favoritism with phone company and same can be said with moto. But , Motorola does it because they was in T-Mobile they wasn't making money and T-Mobile didn't want to pay moto for top of the line specs like others would.

Galaxy s2 was only best in middle of year and even though the support was their if ppl had choice in phones like Verizon. In carrier like T-Mobile or sprint I would of doubt that ppl would of Got s2 like they did.

T-Mobile had HTC amaze ,HTC sensation and HTC my touch 4g slide to many phones of the same thing with different ram specs. Camera was better on mt4g slide, HTC amaze . Meanwhile,HTC sensation users got screw with ****ty camera.

Droid RAZR HD and droid RAZR m have same specs as s3 with droid RAZR HD having better battery the regular version not maxx. So galaxy s3 was only best specs on android for 3 months. Due to HTC lack of update and Motorola releasing their phone in the fall.

I had the Galaxy Nexus before and the Nexus 4 is about the same width as the Galaxy Nexus, albeit a tiny bit wider. It's easy to get used to the width, once you use your phone enough. The problem is with the sides of the screen (where it's curved). Sometimes when I'm typing with one hand, the curved sides (which is still capacitive) would touch my palm and cause typos.

Honestly the only gripe I can find about this phone. And I feel like having a case with even the thinnest front-lip would alleviate the issue.
