[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Well I've had my nexus for about 8 months or so now. I did not upgrade when it first came out and stuck with the nexus s for a bit.

Then got the note 1 for a while. Then finally came over late last year cause I got tired of waiting on Samsung to release jellybean for the note 1.

Anyway... I can easily say this has been the best experience I've had with any handset. Never been happier.

Jellybean solved a lot of problems with the fluidity and speed of the already excellent android experience.

The handset itself is still a beauty too. I never get tired of those sexy curves and all clean black front end with no buttons! :D

The handset still runs well with no big issues. Games and apps load in an almost instant. Blazing fast still. I will keep it for a good while I think.

Will try and wait till the fall at least. See what the next nexus brings. Or that Motorola x phone.

The only thing I would change about the galaxy nexus would be more ram. It's the only small issue I have very rarely. Especially when using chrome with a few tabs open. It eats a lot of ram at times.

But all in all... This has been and still is an excellent handset. Love it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stevejr47:
I've had mine since launch day on Verizon, and I stuck with it after the fiasco of the launch date that was delayed and delayed. I wanted the nexus experience and I have enjoyed it for the most part, but Verizon has ruined some of the experience with their late updates and such. I will be keeping this phone as long as I can since I am grandfathered into the unlimited data so I don't want to upgrade. When it comes time to get a new phone, I hope I have the option to buy a nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I/O is coming.

And I thought support was for 2 major Android versions. Like the Nexus S.

I bought my Gnex used and I've had it about 9 months. I love the pure Google experience and it helped me survive to the end of my contract with VZW. I'm waiting to see if Google has something up their sleeve at I/O for a new Nexus phone. I'll probably go to the Nexus 4 or whatever they announce then and free myself from carrier crap. Though maybe I'll wait until my Gnex craps out first and buy a Nexus 10 to replace my aging Iconia A500. Anyway, I'm firm in the Nexus camp!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Going by past history, each nexus device is roughly supported for around 2 years, which means we might stop getting official updates at around october..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
I am on my second Contract with verizon...my first 2 year contract had the OG droid, Droid X and HTC thunderbolt in there. this is the only phone i have had on the current contract. i Do have urges to get a used S3 and throw an AOSP ROM on it, but i still think i would miss my Nexus.

all of my phones, i have tried everything in my power to make it as close to a nexus device as possible....and now that i have a nexus device, i dont have to worry about it. it is always up to date, it is super smooth, i haven't run into any issues, the Community is EXACTLY what i wanted, and the phone is even more than what i wanted. a phone that is still smooth and fast 15 months after i bought it, i am simply amazed.

and this phone gets more and more exciting come these google events, because i know i will have what they announce later that day or the following one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bsinc1962:
I've had this phone for over a year which is an eternity for me. I still enjoy it so I'm having trouble convincing myself to retire it which is good thing. Sure there's now faster phones with bigger screens and better hardware but this thing still holds its own.

My only hope now is that I accidentally break it to give me reason to replace it. Maybe then my wife will understand. :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lahin:
Oh man! This is exactly how I feel. I'm tempted to buy the N4, but I feel guilty because my gnex still works perfectly. Also if I pull the trigger and buy the N4, I'm going to regret the decision by the end of this year when the next Nexus comes out.

I might just get drunk one day and make the purchase and blame alcohol for the decision! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] armada786:
Exactly my thoughts too! If it works, why bother replacing it? I'm getting a Nexus tablet to satisfy that buying urge. I'll probably hold out until the Nextsus before I doing any phone upgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
If u guys want to see an old device that is still ticking. Look at the HTC VZW Droid Incredible(OG).

IT HAS AOSP 4.2! and it's ooooooold. Our device will last for eternity lol.

And a Nexus Life cycle is 24 month isn't it? Not 18.

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
At this point, its foolhardy to get the N4 if the Gnex is working fine for you. You'll be happier getting the N5 for sure this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lahin:
Yep. I keep telling myself the same thing!! Hopefully I hold out until then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
You act like its beyond your control. Just think about the jump from the first 4.0 device to the first 5.0 device and the difference in specs. The N4 is just a stupid iPhone 4 clone anyway. Who needs a phone with twice the glass?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The nexus 4 is like the nexus s. A measly upgrade compared to the previous generation. The nexus 5 will be like the galaxy nexus compared to the nexus s. An actual worthy upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amir80:
There is no reason to upgrade to another phone. Since all the Gnex and N4 have the software they bave the same features and look.

The Galaxy S3 and 4 have they ugly UI and the HTC One is a new phone with a year old android version.

The "old" gnex has a good resolusion screen and a cpu that can run any appa and game.

Even the camera is good enough for me.

Only if google comes up with a super android version, I may find a need to buy a new phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
The Galaxy Nexus can run any game but not at an acceptable frame rate without any lag, I've had Candy Crush Saga lag on my galaxy nexus occasionally...it's the GPU that is the bottle neck of the galaxy nexus not the CPU.

If the camera is good for you, then you must have low standards for your smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] filenox:
Yeah because using glass makes the phone totally worthless? Not.

The Xperia Z, one of the most impressive phones money can buy right now (together with the One and the S4) is completely build of glass, front, end and rear.

---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:15 AM ----------

4.2 is just a matter of time. Yesterday I've read about some leaks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amir80:
The 6 month "old" HTC One X+ came out a month before the 4.2 was released. The HTC one came out before the new Android version will be announced.

HTC owners should be worried...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
Exactly. I am not a big fan of glass back myself but I always use the case anyway so it's not the big problem. N4 is a great device I don't consider buying it so irrational. First of all: beautiful and crispy screen with optimal size (I am almost sure N5 will be equipped with 5"+ screen), pretty decent specs and awesome price! It's actually cheaper than my gnex bought on ebay in october 2012, and slightly more expensive than S2 here. I'd say N4 is the most rational choice today (price/specs ratio). Of course S4, HTC One or Xperia Z are even more powerful but almost twice as expensive on the other hand.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lwfb:
I guess haters gonna hate.

You can't ignore facts though. If you don't own both devices you really can't say that it's a measly upgrade, because it's a huge difference in reality.

Quad core vs. Dual Core

2GB RAM vs. 1GB

8MP vs. 5MP

IPS vs. Pentile SAMOLED

Wireless charging

Bigger battery

Better build quality

Etc...

I don't see anything incremental about it. I own both devices and I retired my year old GNex as soon as I purchased my N4 on launch day. The GNex is a good phone, the N4 is a great phone.

The glass back has not scratched, cracked, or anything... The phone looks brand new and I actually use it. This is a premium looking device with great specs that can hang with the HTC Ones and Galaxy S4s of the world.

The speakers are louder, the signal is generally better, the battery lasts longer, the screen is in a completely different league, the camera is better (though that isn't saying much)... Those aren't opinions, those are facts.

It was also half the price I paid for my GNex.

When the N5 comes out, I'll move along to that and retire my N4 and the process will start again though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I did own both and I returned the nexus 4 and kept my trusty galaxy nexus. The IPS display looks washed out and just boring compared to the AMOLED on my galaxy nexus, pentile or not I still prefer the AMOLED.

Regarding everyday usage the extra processing power was not noticed, it was only more apparent when playing games but I'll get to that later. The one thing I did enjoy more was the extra ram although I can do without it. The GPU is better for gaming but after 10-15 minutes the phone gets hot and I assume the throttling kicks in and bam you start seeing lag in games.

The camera is better by a little bit but that's like saying being in 7th place is better then being in 8th place...either way you are still not close to rivaling the best.

Leaving all the same settings on and using the device normally the battery was marginally better, with my galaxy nexus I would get 3:00 screen on time while the nexus 4 would get roughly 3:35, sure the nexus 4 is better but what do I do when I run out juice?Just pop in a new battery and I'm ready to go, the nexus 4 just can't compete with that.

The Nexus 4 is not comparable at all to the HTC One/S4. I'm sorry to tell you but the only things the nexus 4 beats the S4/One in, is software updates and ease of flashing. Otherwise those two phones offer a way better experience hardware wise. Yes, the nexus 4 is cheap and the S4/One are expensive but for that cheap price you lose out on a lot of other points.

Just because I do not share your opinion does not make me a hater.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
I hate using a case, and can't bring myself to buy a nexus 4 just for that reason. With a case, that device will be HUGE lol.

Great hardware, but the glass back kills it for me. If my gnex breaks, I may buy one... But I don't want to, especially with a new nexus device coming out this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slayr76:
I totally agree i would never buy a phone with a glass back period, its like their trying to copy an 3 year old iPhone 4, how can glass suddenly make a phone better build quality, they only make phones out of glass so you keep breaking them an buying or replacing them, its a marketing strategy lets make a phone that smashes easy so we can make more money fixing them or charging consumers extra to replace them, the n4 is just an lg optimus g with the nexus name , lg couldn't be fu#ked honestly when releasing a nexus phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jordanishere:
What amazes me is that they didn't use a clear piece of plastic on the back I stead of glass... And that they used regular glass instead of gorilla glsss on the back.

I hope to be running 4.3 this weekend! Oh, the goodness of receiving an ota update notification!:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CADude:
Let's remember that this is only a 4.3 update that is likely to get mostly extra polish, fixes, audio latency resolution (i hope) maybe a new included app like news and weather, and some extra features along the lines of notification upgrades.

In other words, let's not freak out if there's nothing too earth shattering in 4.3. Even the new head of Google downplayed tomorrows offerings, likely to keep us from getting mad when 4.3 is just...OK.

I heard 4.3 was bringing Google Play Games and App Data Auto Sync to your Google Drive

Both of those are big things. The Auto Data sync will be awesome and the Game lobby sounds neat. I like to play casual games and maybe this will increase the experience.

Also looking forward to a new N7 as I need to buy a new one asap and don't want to buy last years model again.

Now it's right time to buy Nexus 4, cause all issues were resolved.

This is manufacturing cycle. First 2 cycles are always defective.

Same gonna happen with next Nexus phone, and only 6 month later it's worth buying it.

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

As for me I'm gonna jump over Nexus 4.

Galaxy Nexus hardware in terms of RAM is old already. Especially working with project 20 minutes long in Google Movie Studio makes it pain in the ass or usually your apps just redraw.

So it's still right time to buy Nexus 4.

Just because something is "old" doesn't make it terrible.

The Nexus 4 would be fine to buy considering the hardware is still good and even the Galaxy Nexus hardware is still good in today's standards.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Soldier 2.0:
But it will make it lag even more once all of those new services start running on your good ol Gnex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msavic6:
I am sure as hell not spending $350 on a nexus 4 to get a marginally better experience. If I'm going to upgrade then I want to have an actual upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Squrt:
+1

My GNex just runs so smooth that its a hard call to make that it needs an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] electro`:
If the phones perform almost alike, if it were to lag it would lag on the Nexus 4 too. They wouldn't do that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Squrt:
/Agree

I think this phone will hold it's own until the end of the year or nexus 5 release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forever_lol:
If....but they don't perform almost alike. Just do some heavy multitasking or run more demanding app and you'll see the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flooney:
I wait till November and then maybe buy me a new phone. And if Nexus 5 is out then, I jump on that train. No need to just wanna have something right now, just because I must have it.

The update from Galaxy Nexus to Nexus 4 was marginal though.

That's your opinion. The difference in cpu/gpu power between n4 and gnex is huge. It's much bigger than in case of gnex and its predecessor. Besides awesome screen, 2 gb ram, and not impressive but still better camera. In my opinion this upgrade was pretty decent (despite stupid glass back).

Awesome Beast, thanks a million. Aside from GPS and the Camcorder issues, anyone report any issues with stability thusfar? I have been hooked on AOKP since Team Acid's ICS build, which has been rock solid stable for me (much more so than Valhalla or anything else on GB). Very dumb question which should probably be better asked in the Stupid Questions Thread, but what does UMS stand for? Did v2 resolve the USB issue? Didn't see it on the changelog, so was not sure if UMS stood for something related to it. (forgive my ignorance)

UMS (USB Mass Storage) was fixed. Erik posted about it in the Q&A thread.
