gnex is the shizzle. nexus4 isnt that good of a deal. if you like the newest and trendiest ok, but till the "next level" comes i'm sticking with the my gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AtroX_cc:
My answer is yes! Defenetly yes! I had many android phones, this GNex i'm having right now is the 3rd (bought it for 250 eur last night), previous phone was S3. I didn't liked the fact that Exynos is a closed source, GNex with Cm10.1 android 4.2.1 rocks hard. And u can buy a 2100mAh battery and solved the juice problem.

Cheers!!!

The only real problem with GNex is ****ty screen, but you do get used to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juggaknot77:
This is the longest I've ever lasted with a phone, I purchased this back in Feb of this year..

It's a great device that's serviced me well and will continue to do so till the next Nexus comes out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrstealthusmc:
i love this phone. it can handle anything i throw at it, plus development is awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
You grouped the S3 and the N4 in the same class? The N4 blows balls in comparison in every way. The S3 is the best phone right now bar none. Nothing is even CLOSE.

I wouldn't buy an LG ANYTHING. It was a mistake for Google to sign with LG. Let alone call it Nexus worthy. Google should have went with Samsung's S3.

The N4 sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
let me guess, you went over to the n4 forums and made your conclusion based on the retards who dont know anything about anything

cool.. how about using the phone before putting it down..

the n4 is one of the best devices of the year and its good to last.. no idea why so many people want to hate on it before even using it.

you hate LG because your friends cousins uncles sisters husbands nephews classmate had a bad experience with LG? cool story..

so many ignorant ****s on XDA recently
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
WOW......its like you read my mind.

LOL......wont change the fact that its a crappy device made by a crappy company.

You are trying REALLY hard to justify that $350 purchase huh?

Anyway...back on topic. You cant go wrong with the Gnex. Giving the choice between the Gnex and the N4, Gnex wins everytime. Same money...better device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
i didnt buy one, but im planning on buying it. the justification is in the device specs, features, and price.

im just trying to fix the mind of ignorants like you who havent even used the phone yet put it down as a terrible device because theyre dedicating thier lives to samsucks.

its similar to the apple clowns who love off the iphone thinking its the best device when there are CLEARLY plenty of better devices out there. samsucks is the apple of android, and their touchwiz UI is obvious proof.

more proof is how overly dedicated samsung fanboys are.. haha..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I never quite understood the fights either way. Iphone, droid, bb are all just phones. It's a device we pay ~$200 for that lasts for 2years and we throw it out for the next new thing. Why must others try to talk people out of it or into a phone. Just leave people alone and let them spend their money how they want, in the end it is simply an opinion formed by someone with different tastes an experiences as you.

FYI Don, this was not meant toward you or anyone specific for that matter, i used 'you' in a general way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Gnex is no doubt a great device. My favorite I've owned so far, to be honest. I guess it's the first one I am not willing to sell...even after next nexus's release. I prefer dark amoled screens over perfect lcd-white too. It's just a matter of taste. But explain me please is how is Gnex better than N4?

In what particular situation does Gnex outclass N4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
personally, i prefer the n4 screen. but this is personal preference. depends if you want dark blacks and vibrance, or if you want clear whites and natural colours

the ONLY thing that makes samsung gnex better is the fact that its made by samsung, which is only an issue to ignorant groupies like the guy you quoted

what i think is going on in his mind: "that phone sucks because its not samsung, even though its far superior in every way"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
So you don't like people preferring samsuck (as you say)? Yet you continuously come in here and say how superior the lg is. We get it, you don't like the g'nex, fine. Yes the nexus 4 should be a superior device (haven't had any experience to say) but that doesn't make the g'nex any less of an excellent device. Give it a rest, you have your opinion which isn't going to change anyone else's.

For some the g'nex just makes more sense, it's all about what each individual thinks will work best for them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
if youre saying the s3 is better or on par with the n4, okay.

but this guy is trying to tell me the gnex is far superior than the n4 which even a monkey can tell you is wrong

ive never once said i dont like hte gnex, its a great phone, but its year old technology and wasnt much advanced from its predecessor unlike the n4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
Look

Fit

Feel

Function

Gnex screen is WAY better than the N4. Colors look much richer. N4 is a crappy LCD. The touch screen also sucks on the N4. Try typing with any speed and all you do is get pissed off.

N4 has a glass back. Good luck with that. Its gonna break.

Speaker IMO is better on the Gnex.

Gnex is more rugged.

Gnex has a removable battery.

Gnex slightly thinner.

Pros for the N4 are limited to only a slightly better processor and a better camera.

Oh...did I mention its made by LG ........pffft......no thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
U missed the point mate. Discussion is not really about LG vs Samsung, not even Gnex vs. N4 but about brand loyalty that can make people ignorant.

I've had only very good experiences with Sammy but I cannot ignore the fact that for example Quad-core exynos 4xxxx that run S3/Note2 is an old technology compared to quad-core Qualcom S4-krait. Build quality on N4 is also superior compared to S3. Even though S3 is still one of the very best devices of 2012. The thing is that when you compare such handsets u must be more specific...compare specs one by one and other aspects like update policy, locked bootloader, service etc. Claiming that N4 is **** bcos it is manufactured by LG is rather a childish argumentation. I am not particularly attached to any brand, but I appreciate good quality. I've been using sammys for more than one year and I haven't had many reasons to complain. But if e.g. motorola manufacture the next nexus that will turn out to be solid I don't see a reason why I wouldn't give it a shot. (To be honest here are even some (not many though) elements in iOS I would love to see incorporated in android).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
You may be able to read minds but you cant read words worth a $hit.

Man......its pretty obvious you dont really like the N4 but you believed the hype and are struggling with the disastrous decision to purchase it.

You might be able to return it. You may even get a full refund (minus shipping).

You didnt sell the Gnex did you?..............Aww man........... say it it so. Dang.....I think Newegg still sells them. Good luck!:good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Now's better :) No offense, but IMO only one-two feature you mentioned above can be objectively considered as N4's cons (non-removable battery, and responsiveness). All other is the matter of taste. About processor...quad s4 slightly better than Ti 4460? Dual core S4 is about twice as fast as our Tiomap. Quad core variant cannot even be compared here. It's old technology vs new and not simple dual vs quad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joplisan:
In my opinion this phone is worth every penny. Yes, it's a year old, but it's really holding up well. Yes, it has some issues, but which phone doesn't? For a year old phone, it's really fast and smooth. And it's quite durable. So, yes, buy it! :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
That's right, user experience as for a year old phone is really awesome. If the price is reasonable go for it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
what?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoXFreak:
What came first, the Galaxy Nexus or the Sammy Infuse 4G?

I ask because I have the Infuse and it has a 480x800 screen, logically giving a 720p display area.

My GF has the Nexus (I told her to get it, which she did), which has a 1280x720 screen, and I really can't tell a big difference in screen size or where that 0.1" difference comes into play.

I've watched 720p videos on both and, outside of a slight lag in load times, I see no difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hemidroids:
Thats your response to "you cant read worth a $hit?"

OMG...you are a barrel of laughs. Thx

Anyway......thats enough. Truce.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
480x800 is nowhere near 720p. I think its wvga which phones from 2010 use. 1280x720 is 720p.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
That's not 720. It's hvga. Barely over 200ppi. Not even close to the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoXFreak:
Must be my eyes going bad because it looks the same to me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pelikan3:
You have a lot of folks here mirroring exactly what I would say about the Nexus. It's a great phone. Best, I have ever owned. Stable, reliable, easily and highly customizable if you wish to go that route. Easily restored to stock (same can't be said of other Androids) if you need to.

Most folks have already covered the details about specs. Even after a year or so, the Galaxy Nexus is still on par with most of the major "Super Phones". Remember, it has lead a quiet existence mostly because it became the primary target (for whatever reason) of the Apple vs Samsung court battles. So, it ended up blocked from sales for a while and really lost momentum. So, the SIII became the star. But, the Nexus is still a Nexus. It's still the prodigal child of Google and will, barring some minor delays, receive updates and upgrades MUCH faster than any other device. Remember, that the Nexus S, which is 3-4 years old and a single core device, already has Jellybean, and the Galaxy SIII, Samsung's star child, hasn't even gotten that everywhere.

Personally, I liked the fit and finish of the Nexus 4, and I was impressed by the speed. But, I did not like the screen quality at all, compared to the Samsung Super AMOLED, I have never been impressed with LG's build quality and reliability in the past, and this is their first real go at a high end phone (the Dragon doesn't really count).

So, slow and steady wins the race. The Galaxy Nexus has firepower to spare, Google's support well into the future, great build quality, better build, better screen quality, and a much better price than the Nexus 4. Oh, and don't forget a HUGE user and developer community. It's a win-win.

Hope to see you on this side of the fence soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] madquack:
Nexus S came out Dec 2010.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I don't know if I agree about it being on par with super phones per say. It got pretty best down by the OneX and S3. That said because the Android experience was developed around this phone it runs better then those super phones during normal day to day and some power tasks. Nothing like an AOSP developed device.. I loved my Droid 1 and my Nexus both for the same reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Galaxy Nexus <3. The Nexus 4 is a bit faster, yes, but personally I like the over-saturized look of S-Amoled screen (a lot of people will beg to differ but that's why I say PERSONALLY). Besides these differences the overall android-feel will be as good as exactly the same as on a GNex.

On the other hand though if I'd be able to get one for 300 or 350$ I wouldn't hesitate and go for the N4, overall it is the better device, but when owning a GNex already or being able to have a GNex for just as little as 250$\€ if you're doubting between GNex/N4.. Go for the GNex :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] illmatic24:
I prefer an amoled screen (pen tile or not) over LCD. I also think LG should have stuck with the standard 720p display, 16:9 ratio looks nicer to me. Amoled also provides more vivid colors and usually a better battery life. As long as you don't plan to run GPU intensive applications at highest settings the gnexus running 4.2.1 is a great device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
agreed samoled is so much better than LCD imo
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rzgomba:
GNEX is still a good phone. I love mine and have gone through a HTC Desire, HTC Desire HD, Nexus S and now the GNEX.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonDizzurp:
because you sound like an idiot.

i dont own a gnex and i didnt buy a nexus 4.

but i dont blindly and ignorantly jockride the gnex because its built by samsung and discredit the far superior n4 just because its made by LG

ignorance will get you killed some day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I wouldn't say it's better, it's different for sure. Colors on samoled are more vivid and saturated. Black is really black there. If you get used to samoled then colors on LCD will seem to you kinda "washed out". On the other hand white is really whiter there. I prefer dark samoled screens but I must admit that very bright super clear lcd I had on my old galaxy r was doing much better on sunny days compared to my next samoled+ on S2 (the same resolution screens).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] psycho2097:
AFAIK, the infuse has a samoled plus screen, thats better in color n quality than the pentile SGS/NS. So it looks better, as does the SGS2. So basically its slightly better screen quality n color repro vs almost 3 times the resolutn. I m gonna take the resolutn. I have never seen the Infuse, but watching HD videos on my Gnex vs my SGS is a world apart. But then again, if u hold ur phone at arms length, u wouldnt be able to tell the difference lol....its all marketing!!!

I have a gnex, i love the responsiveness, the speed, the form factor, build quality, the resolution, the screen, almost everything except the camera n speakers. No need to debate the N4 n gnex for a new buyer. A new buyer should definitely go 4 the N4 for the simple reason that its just 100$ more ffor a huge future proofing. For an existing gnex owner, he wud be complete retard 2 get a N4, unless he got a mindblowingly good deal.

I m buying the new nexus next yr only if its by motorola/HTC. Kinda beginning to hate samsung....too much of my stuff is samsung.

Dont go just by the specs. The One X does not beat the GNex, and if it does, not significantly. It has got a huge plethora of problems of its own. Just a better camera n speakers, n that tegra3(no huge real world difference bcz of that).

Blacks are so overrated. I would love to have a phone where i can keep a colorful wallpaper n normal gapps (non-inverted 1s) without worrying about the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lag3o:
I thought about buying the Nexus 4 but the current Smartphone Generation is in my opinion not such a great improvement to the Galaxy nexus generation. Just a improvement in performance. I hope for the next generation to have more features than just a better performance.

My galaxy nexus is more than enough for all if my games and applications, so where is the meaning in buying a new smartphone?^^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imthepits:
Picked Gnex up recently and for everyday tasks it keeps task with my GSIII so I'd say it's still relevant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cldwar:
All those supporting galaxy nexus (including me) ... Can't get their hands on nexus 4.... :p

Who we are kidding nexus 4 vs galaxy nexus.. Nexus 4 wins (no discussion :banghead: )

Even if its not a big improvement.. It still is an improvement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I would rather wait for the GS4/Note3/ nexus 5, the nexus 4 has too many issues and crap battery. I've been dealing with issues with nexus phones for the last 3 years, but I'm not putting up with it anymore. Hopefully Google gets the next nexus right; a balance of power/specs and great battery life otherwise I'm hopping to the galaxy line up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lesp4ul:
Former S2 user here, no regret upgrades. Two minus thing: 1. So so camera 2. No sdcard, well i can live with that, love 720p 312ppi screen, so good :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bob.santaniello:
Buy it 100%. Best Android experience is stock. I can almost guarantee this phone is future proof through OTAs and when Google does decide to stop rolling out updates the friendly devs on these forums will more then likely have a rom of the update available. So yes, if you want Android, go stock!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rileycn:
There isn't a better phone available. The nexus 4 is an LG phone which I personally do not like. Samsung makes the best product and the processor 1.2 GHz is sufficient and a beast when o/c to 1.35ghz. I've tried all phones including the s3 and this is the best. I use faux123 kernels (ALWAYS!) and am using xlon custom ROM. Super fast. Bug free.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I consider the note2 a better phone then the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I don't consider that a phone at all. I compared my Gnex to one the other day and it's massive. Almost the entire Gnex fits in the screen alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
It may be bigger but my nexus one nearly fits into the screen of my galaxy nexus. The size of phone screens has gradually increased over time, the majority of phones released in 2013 will have 5' screens and greater. Its inevitable and we as consumers have to embrace that change or we will be stuck using older devices. I personally don't mind the size of the note2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
If I'm going bigger than 5" just give me a tablet. It doesn't make any sense to go any bigger even if they can improve the resolution. Just because there are 5" 1080 P displays doesn't mean we have to use them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The size difference between the note2 and the closest tablet in size (nexus7) is huge. The note 2 is still relatively pocketable while the nexus 7 is not. Plus the bigger the phone the more space there is, which in Samsung's case means a huge battery. I don't mind a 5.5" screen if the phone gets amazing battery life and from what I've read the note 2 gets awesome battery life. Hopefully Samsung maintains the large battery in future devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The size of phone screens has gradually increased over time, indeed. But...I don't think screens of flagships will get bigger than 5'. (and I really hope they won't :) ) That could turn out to be really bad business strategy. (sort of niche positioning) Not everybody considers that huge screen as an advantage. In case of flagships oems must figure out the most universal screen size that majority would be be willing to accept. For me 4,3 - 4,65" is the perfect size, anything greater than that is compromise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Benjamin150:
Coming from a GNexus and Note 2 user, even 5.5" comes no where near the size of even carrying around the Nexus 7. After the first day or two, it no longer seems big. We adapt. There was a time when the 4.3" display of the DROID X was monstrous. And when rumored specs of a 4.65" display, that was almost unthinkable.

To me, it gets to be too big if it exceeds the note 2's size and enters into the 6"+ range. It truly looks silly and I can't imagine it being needed or comfortable for hands to hold for actual phone use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
Don't mind him he likes to complain, he probably believes the n7 is only two inches larger than the note 2 in one direction.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
I know screens are measured diagonally smartass.

I personally have a limit of 4.8" for a display on a phone. Any larger and I'd rather just go all the way to a tablet. I have a XOOM so I know how much larger it is but if the GNex any bigger I'd rather just use a Nexus 10. I don't see a use for a phone any bigger than the GNex maybe S3 Without the awful iPhone button.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Benjamin150:
Doesn't make sense to me. Adding .2inches and it's comparable to a 10 inch tablet? Personal preference I suppose, but damn.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nitrogen618:
For me, the size limit for a phone is 5.5'.

Actually, I find the best size the Galaxy Nexus, but a tad bigger. So probably 4.9/5 inches?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DertyDOH:
I went from GNex to S3 to Razr HD and now back to Gnex where I'm the happiest. There's nothing like pure aosp, and a big oversight to me is the aosp web browser. The Razr HD comes with Chrome as the default which is slow in comparison. S3 is cool, but feels awkward in the hand because the screen is so big and the body so thin, plus side by side on the same brightness the Gnex screen is so much brighter. Final point, aosp on the gnex is faster. Loading the dialer, inbox, etc side by side the Gnex is faster
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seecay:
Sis-in-law has a Note2, battery life is better than my Gnex. Heavy usage & still has more than 30% after 12-14 hours...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viewtifuljoe71:
Are you stock or rooted? Custom rom and kernel, I can go a full day heavy usage and still have 50 or 60% left before bed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ynrozturk:
The Nexus 4 simply isn't worth it in my opinion. I've tried it and for everyday use, the response times are pretty much the same with the Gnex. Unless opening an app .085 seconds faster is REALLY important to you, I'd say go with the Gnex. Brilliant phone, great dev support, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ebagdirtbike:
How good is this phone? Well it's good enough for me to switch back to from a nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seecay:
Wow, that's good. I'm on stable CM10.0 & heavy usage for me is Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, G+, reading books on FBReader, 1 or 2 games of Angry Birds... (insert random release but has been Star Wars as of late), Wordfeud, Hanging With Friends, Super TTT, some other random games like Beach Buggy Blitz or Rocket Island all the while switching between wifi & 3G interchangeably.

Just realized I'm on my phone a lot. FML :eek: :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ryudo423:
Just ordered mine on ebay and should have it by end of next week. I'm coming from an old evo 3d that started acting up. I'm still with Sprint until this Summer/Fallish, so this should be great to hold me over until the next big thing is out. Pretty excited!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blackhand1001:
The nexus s had 512mb. Part of it was shared with the gpu but every phone at the time did the same thing. It was a huge step up from the nexus 1.

The sgx540 was more than 5 times faster than the adreno 200 in the nexus one. The nexus 1 completely chugs with the 2d accelerated rendering in android 4. On the other hand the nexus s's sgx 540 plows through it and asks for more. The gpu in the nexus one and partially the small system partition are why the nexus one never recieved ice cream sandwhich.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akatosh:
Although this may not be the most powerful phone out there even in its prime and sure it has the usual amoled problems but to be honest I love it. I switched down from a HTC one x and never looked back. Unless you want to be playing the most intensive games on the planet this is the phone for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The camera is pretty outdated and the battery is terrible compared to current devices. Although nothing at the moment tempts me to switch from my nexus besides the note2.
