R: [Q] Need Help Galaxy s3 vs Nexus 4

That saturation stuff on screens is complete nonsense...many people make video reviews on how the screen looks or if its close enough to the surface and stuff, but once u own the phone u dont notice any of that stupid stuff...

More sd card space IS needed. It is needed to:

Download roms

download movies

Download any big files in general

Keep music

keep pictures

Really i cant believe u manage to survive with 16gigs on nexus...maybe that has something to do with you already owning an s3;):beer:

Plus i cant imagine backups and restores through recovery without sdcard...

So you say s3 is slow? Mine isnt, ive configured it very well and it is fast, once you remove some bloatware and autostarting apps, even more so.

Flash a custom rom and your comparisons are soon nulled.

Ok maybe youre right, samsung doesnt make such good roms for theirs cells, but as long as there are custom roms(and there ARE many), the phone will always be updated JUST as the nexus. It doesnt matter if the rom isnt from samsung, people just want the stuff to work, not pretty names: brands are for ios users.

(Plus youre telling me nexus 4 users dont use other custom roms as well?)

The cool features abou touchwiz are the ripple screen, the home screens behaviour, the notification area shortcuts(nexus shortcuts are lousy and not as quickly accessible as s3), theyre missing a quick-memory manager(if i want to quickly manage apps, see my free space left on sdcard or phone, free up ram, all i have to do is keep pressed home button).

About the root fix ure sayin: how are you going to manage without software keys? You can restrict them, but they will still be there, taking up some space of the already small screen(smalle than s3 at least).

If it appears/is faster, its also because of screen size.

And WHO is the screen manufacturing queen company? (I believe u know the answer.., so dont say the screen looks ugly, you might scare some android newbies;))

And dont argue about the fact that s3 owners/developers had to copy from nexus to get better roms, i might remind you of an operating system that copied off of apple to achieve better results....

About the plastic case: maybe its plastic becausr it absorbs percussions more easily and it makes the phone lighter?

I dunno if youve ever had a phone break, or an iphone(perfect example), but the best cases arent those made of hard plastic, but the flexible ones. the best cases are made of thick rubber, which is even more flexible and absorbs even more percussions, but rubber cant be used to cover up the battery can it?

Samsungs plastic makes the phone lighter(it hits the floor less hard) and more easily likely to bounce when dropped, thus producing an aelastic impact, so the phones damage is reduced. Here falls the fairy tale about samsungs cheap hardware (which is more tested than many other companies', perhaps the most).

And as far as it goes, it seems you didnt mention any flaws about the n4 either...

And might i add i've read in the past of many cases of nexus 4 back covers breaking up because of the screen lg/google put there to make it look cooler...but i suspect not many users like to hold up their phones with a broken screen(even if its the back)
