Hi folks! As you already know Sammy is going to show us something tasty in London, 3rd of May. And everything we know from rumoures and benchmarks shows that this boy is going to be hot thingy with quad core CPU outperforming Tegra 3 and A5 , HD screen , great 12 mp camera and all these packed in some sexy materials So , on the other hand it's obviously going to be bloated with Touchwiz stuff , no comparison with pure Google experience we have now , but something tells me that this sweetie is going to be even a bigger hit than SII so development is also going to be great for it. No doubts CM9 will find it's place inside the monster . What's your thoughts on this guys ? How do you feel on switching your Gnexy friend ?

If it doesn't have soft keys then its a instant no. I probably won't get it anyways. If I get a new phone it will be the next nexus.
Its not a Nexus. Why would I want it?
im buying it.. n keeping my nexus.. but if the design isn't unique like the nexus was then ill just buy a HTC One X
What temptation?

does that not look like a Galaxy Nexus with capacitive touch buttons? lol
the only downside, touchWiz and slow updates, I'll stick to the Nexus

It's going to be the most powerful android phone, man . And I'm sure Sammy understands that to beat one X, design and material of SIII should be great too

There will be so much development on the SGS3 and the hardware is going to be such a step up above the Galaxy Nexus... I don't think a lot of people will be able to resist if the price isn't too steep

Yeah but what about CM9 ? It's updating very often syncing with latest Google sources ? And one more . What all those updates have really brought to our nexus ? They just fixed a lot of stupid bugs, nothing more ... As a former user of GSII I know that the most part of it's firmwares were almost bug less

What if one will look like nexus , be 4 times more powerful than nexus and has even more development perspectives . Just look in GS II thread man , smooth AOSP roms , hundreds of themes , kernels, ports and other stuff . We don't have it here

There still is no point in having such a powerful device and I HIGHLY doubt it will have Jelly Bean or whatever before us. Plus, Touchwiz sucks hard.
I just read over on rootz that the sgs3 US lte version is getting the s4 snapdragon due to the quadcore having compatibility issues with lte.

This is already known. It's not necessarily "compatibility" issues per say, but rather Samsung's lack of LTE support outside of its own Korean chip that uses different frequencies.
if it has the exynos, it'll be damned hard for me to resist. either way, i'll be keeping my nexus, but i'll hold out to be sure that
1) it's got the proper hardware
2) clean ICS/non-touchwiz roms start coming out immediately

Yes I know it . Please read the OP and try to see how it's related to nexus forum. I know a lot of people who have a hard time deciding whether to stay with nexus or move to s3. This topic was made to help such people to see all pros and cons and make a right decision

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you
If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....
That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

I will reserve my judgement for when it gets released but those pictures arent doing it for me at the moment.
Just FYI, if this is a legit device, it's likely housed in a "dummy box". Final retail device will likely look different. Remember the dummy boxes from the SIII leaks?

Whatever it is, it is definitely in a "dummy box." Just look at the pics of the back.
That's not a Nexus phone. That looks more like an in-house developer phone.

A build listed as MR1 (maintenance release 1) and a new kernel with Korean timestamp = LG specific JB build. This isn't AOSP folks, which tells me it won't bear the Nexus name.

The Nexus 4 has a better processor and supposedly a better screen and camera. Plus the 2GB of ram vs 1GB ram in the Galaxy Nexus. The kicker is the Nexus 4 is 350.00 (16Gb) or 300.00 (8GB). I wonder if Google is gone drop the price of the Galaxy Nexus from 350.00 down to 275.00 or 250.00.
I bought my g-nex a month ago for $370...would have waited but I needed a phone and I didn't think Google would sell the new nexus for so cheap!
I do prefer the look of the galaxy nexus though...or maybe that's just my mind's defense mechanism to keep me from getting depressed =(

If Google drops the price of the galaxy nexus down to 250 I'd buy it instead!
