[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Hey Guys,

A Friend of mine asked me earlier this day if i wanna change my Nexus 4 vs. his Note 2. He got it for birthday 2 days ago, but its too big for him. What do you think...? Is the Note better than the Nexus ? I really like my n4 especially the fast updates, but the small Disk Space and the really bad Battery Time are making me sometimes really "angry". On the Note i like the big screen, the S-Pen of course and the better camera. I really dont what i should do :D Please help :/

Btw. I hope you understand it...Im german and only 14 yet ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimpleMatt:
For me it would be the lower pixel density on the Note 2 that would be the definitive reason not to switch. The nexus also has better build quality and stock Android out of the box.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
You definitely wouldn't be disappointed with the battery life on the Note 2, take a look at the kinda battery life I get on a daily basis :D

:eek: Looks awesome !

Is the TouchWiz UI as smooth as the Vanilla Android ? And are there any things you sont like ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngcity:
I had the note 2 and switch to nexus 4 The battery worse but i never used the spen and like stock better then touchwiz.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
I never liked TouchWiz but Samsung did a great job optimizing the hell out of it for this phone, I have no lag at all. My only gripe with the Note 2 is TouchWiz lol, but I use Nova Launcher for more of an AOSP feel. This is the best device I've ever owned!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Okay, what can you say about the difference between the two Displays ? (Note has lower dpi)

[MENTION=928229]piscesjoey[/MENTION] thanks !!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
I never seen a N4 in person but yeah I do know that the screen is much better on the N4

What's up PJ? I remember you from another forum lol. Both great devices, my buddy was just showing me his battery life on the Note ii. It's probably the only other skinned device I would want! Got my N4 a few weeks ago and love it. So far I have been comfortable with the non removable battery and limited storage... It's not like it's an HTC or something that never gets updated :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
Note 2 is way too big BUT if you are considering it that means it isn't too big for you so just do the trade...at least your friend will get a good phone :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
I'm actually very surprised/shocked by your battery life... Its terrible for the battery size... I have a N⁴ and I get the same stats almost... See for yourself...

Having Said that... I would say if your getting the Note2 as a 100% exchange and no cash on top, then take the note2 IF you don't have a problem with the size... In general the note2 is better value for just $400 you may have paid for your N⁴

Ive changed my note 2 for n4. After 4 months with note 2, it already came to me 'its helluva ugly device' , very functional and a masterpiece when it comes to hardware , but it looks like some cheap tablet and i wasnt even using half of those spen-multiwindow-floatingstuff-shinyfunctions. N4 is so beautiful and snappy.

The note 2 is stupidly big. The only advantage I can see is larger memory. But unless you hord all your music and films in one place, whats the point?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
I have both. My Note 2 is stock, unrooted with sprint's service. My Nexus 4 gets aosp custom rom/kernel love with tmobile's service.

My nexus 4 is HANDS DOWN my device of choice if I had to pick between the two. The note 2 is big and clunky. It's not something that's easy to just throw in your pocket and forget about. It's as big in your pocket as in your hand. Try talking on a phone with a 7" screen. It feels uncomfortable and awrkard to hold something so big up to your ear, making bluetooth about the only viable option. Also, I can't reach across the screen if I'm holding it with one hand, so one-handed navigation is out the window. The one thing that really sets it apart is the s-pen. Know how many times I've used that since February when I got the device??? 3. The pen is a gimmick that doesn't really have very much practical use in daily life. Don't get me wrong....it's a cool little example of how creative you can be with android.....but I'll almost guarantee it will only leave its little storage slot once a month at best.

Honestly, I love the Note 2. It's a great device for what it is, but it's not a phone and it's not a tablet. It's a very narrow niche in the market and IMHO unless it's the perfect device for you, steer clear....there are far better options out there. Especially if it's your only device. I feel like tablets and phablets are in the same category when it comes to who should buy them: those who need a SECOND device. Not those looking for a primary device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chrono_Tata:
Do the trade then sell the Note 2. You could have enough money to buy a new Nexus 4 plus some profit. :P

LMAO :D

[MENTION=600147]THE[/MENTION] rest - The Note fits very good into my hand (i have very big hands :D) , but do you really think the n4 is better in daily usage ? The Note has a lot of nice features (e.g. S-Note, The "quick dial " thing at the missed calls and so on. The n4 has nothing :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NiceIceDice96:
Hi do you want the beat advice keep Nexus4 with you cause it is from goofle offical realtime updates and i'm sure it will still the best cause note 2 its too big and stubid touchwiz and low ppi

Keep nexus 4 with you

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Personally today, I'm buying a Note 2 and selling my N4.

I love my N4, don't get me wrong and I swore I was going to start swearing off non Nexus devices.

But I'm a road warrior, as they say, the N4's battery life just doesn't quite cut it for me, and with me getting a new job working as a tech rep, the bigger screen, S-pen, and longer battery just kinda make sense to me.

But those factors aside, no phone I've handled in person was as smooth as the N4, including GS4, One, etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin11141:
If you get the 16gb nexus you're fine, do not get a 8gb. I'm not sure how battery is on the note but on the nexus its honestly awful...i had better battery life on the One S on my n4 I get like 2-3 hrs screen on time, 3 max. By about 3:20 its either dead or under 20%. I play NBA 2k13 and stream music from Google and text mostly. Still wish I could have a removable battery like the note though..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaimesco12:
Would definitely go for the note 2 no doubt. Even if I didn't like it, I could sell for more then the nexus 4 or trade it for a galaxy s4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I Am Marino:
Think of it like this also, the Note 2 will hold it's value beyond the N4, at least from what I've seen on CL, etc.

Getting a Note 2 would probably allow you to sell it for more down the road than the N4 would get you, that's my mentality for now.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
Well you need to understand you will lose the same amount of money on both tho... Thats really not a good comparison/mentality to have... For example...

You pay $600 for the note2... One year down the line you sell it for $400 if lucky... So you lost $200...

You pay $350 for the N⁴... One year down the road you sell it for atLEAST $150... I would actually say not less than $200... So that way your actually losing less on the N⁴...

Now in the exchange situation if your not paying any extra then yes your getting a much better valued phone... But thinking your gonna pay full for the note2 and expect you will lose less on it compared to the N⁴ is kinda clouded vision...

I just did a trade on Craigslist the other day..traded my galaxy note 2 16gb for my Nexus 4 16gb that included everything and was only a couple weeks old and I also got $50.

I rooted and installed CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly on the Note and after using the Nexus 4 the Note 2 ran like crap, Nexus 4 is silky smooth and don't have the problems running some apps like I did on the Note.

Hell the Note 2 I overclocked the CPU to 1.9ghz and the Nexus still feels faster. I do sorta miss the big screen but then I put my Nexus in my pants pocket and am happy cuz I don't have a bulge.

Battery life was good on the Note 2 but it better me with how big it was. I just don't like the glass back on the Nexus 4 makes to slippery I wish Google would of kept the Galaxy Nexus design philosophy..

But having said all that I do prefer the Nexus 4 over the Note 2. And yes the screen quality is more crisp on the Nexus 4..the PPI doesn't lie.

---------- Post added at 02:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 PM ----------

The Nexus 4 16GB will still easily be worth more than $200 in the year it will be out. The Galaxy Nexus still sells for $250 used (GSM version)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
My daughter is visiting from the Navy and she has the Note 2. I was playing with it last night. It is nice, but it just didn't feel like a phone in my hand. Touchwhiz on a bigger device is just more horrid. It made it seem very laggy and slow.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
The GNex was more expensive to begin with, not a good comparison.

I do agree the N4 8gb or 16gb will still be worth north of $200 in 6mos.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaimesco12:
What you don't understand is that the OP is going to trade it, not buy it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ReMiXxXeD:
Ok. I decided to keep my Nexus. I Played a

round with the Note this morning. After about 15 mins with it it started laggin, and the Touchwiz is really ****. Thanks for your help !
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piscesjoey:
Since I last posted in this thread, I've traded my Note 2 for an iPhone 5. Now my next plan is to either flip this iPhone for a Google Galaxy S4 if I end up leaving Sprint or keep this iPhone & get another GNex on the low & pray that the rumors of a 32GB N4 for Sprint are true so I can flip this iPhone & the GNex for that ?. Note 2 was nice, but I just can't stand TouchWiz & I always preferred Nexus devices for timely updates straight from Google instead of being at the mercy & stranglehold of waiting on the OEM's to do it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
There are no rumours as such for a N4 in 32gb ... The white N⁴ has already been announced officially and launched and confirmed to only be in 8gb and 16gb variants... If you want more than 16gb in a nexus device, you will need to get the S⁴ Google Edition which is 16gb with expandable memory...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
The S4 and HTC one are not nexii. They are wannabes. The manufacturers finally realized their bs android forks are worthless, bloated crap that serves no purpose except for those who just want a phone that's pre-loaded with everything they could possibly want in a phone's lifetime.....most of which will never be used, even once. imho, vanilla aosp is the ONLY way to go. Phones are expensive, and you can get everything on vanilla android you can with touchwhiz, sense, etc. It just takes a little tiny bit of work getting all the apps you need installed. The benefit, though, is that your phone does what you want it to, and doesn't have garbage that you'll never even consider using *cough* sprint zone *cough*
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
Whatever your reasoning or theory may be, you may very well be correct, but the Google edition phones technically ARE nexii devices whether one accepts it or not... And the best devices to date I'll say...

I think offering the vanila xperience on oem phone`s is the start of a great development and i hope it continues, so we have an option to choose how our phones should look and feel :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
No. No they aren't. Google decides what qualifies to carry nexus branding and what doesn't. They have made it perfectly clear that these are "Nexus Experience" devices (at least in the case of the S4, which means we can assume the same is true for the H1). If you look at what Google defined as a Nexus device (last year, iirc) you will see why these devices don't qualify. The most obvious feature would be removable storage. Google has made a strong stance towards unified internal storage only, and there was even an official press release stating NO Nexus will ever have an SD card again.

Also, remember back last year when Sony got an honorary slot in the AOSP project?? The Xperia S had the exact same official stance as an AOSP device, not a "Nexus" device. These are "Nexus experience" devices. Nothing is a Nexus unless El Goog decides to tag it as such officially.

Hell, I still want an Xperia S just to get some official AOSP love on a Sony....man I love their hardware!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrunkFuX666:
You may be right in what your saying, the fact that these are being sold Directly by Google themselves... Unlike the xperia or any other phone in the past, says a lot as to what they may be.

I think that even if it hasn't been given the "nexus" name tag, being taken directly under googles wing, it will surely get the same love the nexus devices get in terms of updates etc... Hence making the only diff between the Nexus or the Google Edition is the name, and the removable storage.

Having said that, your right they said no more external storage, but considering it has been one of the main gripes amongst nexus users, esp considering the max storage capacity on the nexus is 16gb, its simply reaching out to a broader market.

Hence all I'm saying is, the fact that Google themselves are directly marketing and selling the product, changes alot in what it may very well be now as compared to what was said in the past...

i would get the note... you will like the things about it and the screen is not as dense but it is really good. if you miss vanilla android on touchwiz there are many good roms for the note, many of the same roms even. also, you could sell it for a higher price than you could sell an n4 for.
