Thoughts?
"it's dangerously close to a tablet"
Hardly. It's not even that much bigger than my GFs MT4G and about the same size as my GalaxyS2.
I dunno. I have small hands anyway. The Nexus One seemed a good fit. The jump to get G2x had me a little off... but I got used to it.
Now I juggle the phone on my fingers and palm. Kinda weird but works well. The Nexus pushes my thumb reach even using it this way. Anything bigger and I'll be double fisting it.
Since I have smaller hands, I conformed earlier. I think people with larger hands are having to go through that now with the nexus.
I wouldn't say its too big, but will probably change up a few things.
LTE Google Galaxy Nexus! - Stock
Asus Transformer - OC/UV
Hardly. Its a big phone but still not that much larger then my old Thunderbolt. Maybe he should play with the Note for a little bit to get an idea of a phone flirting with tablet territory.
4" does seem to be the ideal one handed phone for everybody. the atrix still feels good in my hand. i do have a hard time one handed sometimes but actually my bigger problem is the next phone. will i settle for something smaller after such a nice screen. probably not. i do like what samsung did to the hd screen. it looks a looooot better than the plus screens. up until now, amoled has been oversaturated with the colors. this screen is great. and still has the nice contrast and pop because of the deep black.
Yes. I think it's a bit too big. The rezound fits my hand better.
But that's the price you pay for freedom.

I'm 6" with pretty big hands, and i can hit the Q in portrait mode with the middle of my thumb. (right handed) So for people with smaller hands, they should still have no problem reaching any of the letters in portrait mode.
I think its the perfect size overall. The device itself is only a tad longer than a Bionic, (about a half a mm or a mm) the same width, and thinner. I really don't see what anyone is complaining about.
Due to the rounded corners it's a hell of a lot easier to use with one hand than my RAZR.

I have bigger hands, and I've had no issue with the phone at all. Just fits perfectly in my hand.
Yay for big hands, I guess

lmao...I wasn't going to say anything but funny stuff.
It is a damn big phone; that was my primary concern about. Having no problems using it though.
it depends on the person's size. i'm 6' 5" and have big hands. this Nexus' still feels like it's a bit too small for me. i look forward to the 5"+ phones.
For me the SGS2 felt bigger. I can reach stuff much easier on the GN

I think that the nexus is ok for people with above average sized hands, but really, if your hands are too small for the GNEX, then they are too small for most of the 4.3" devices out there right now anyways:
Here is a comparison between the GNEX and the DroidX (4.3"). There really isnt that much of a difference.

Here are the two phones in my hand how one might hold them. There is again minimal difference. Basically, this says that if you can use a 4.3" phone, which has become the defacto size for android super phones, then you can just as easily use the GNEX's huge 4.65" display.
The GNEX:
and the DX:
(Note that I am 6' 3" and the diagonal of my hand is about 9.5", so the usability will be better or worse depending on how big you are.)
Edited: I hate Box.com. And I wont every try to venture away from the comfort of Dropbox again for cloud storage.
My previous phone was a Galaxy S. I do think that was the perfect size for my hands. Although i still couldnt stand the hardware buttons on that phone and the gsm nexus doesnt feel any heavier and seems thinner. But after you get use to the gnexus screen the gs seems so little. Even my wife's iphone 4 seems tiny now.

No problems using it, but would you prefer it to be smaller? Or do you like this size better now that you're used to it?
Seems a fine size to me.
I have rather large hands (glove size 8.5) and my opinion is: the GN is on the far end of "large". This is probably the maximum size a smartphone can have and still be (relatively) easily operated with one hand. For smaller hands it already is too large.
Galaxy Nexus is just under the "to-big-for-human-hans-limit" if you ask me.
The Galaxy Note on the other hand, is to big.
i don't have an issue with the size using it, i have an issue with the size of it + a holster and just putting it into and taking it out of said holster. I liked the nexus one (OGdroid before that, and a myriad of smaller phones before that) i was coming from but was ready for something a little bigger. a little smaller would have been nice since i keep it on my belt, but i like the big screen when i'm using it.
i got the leather case from vzw, but i'll be heading out tomorrow to try to find a nylon one that hopefully will fit the phone but be a smaller total package.

maybe this 5gr in bruto weight 135gr for Desire mean metal against

made from plastik-meta
You can give us answer
Just let it go, both phones are great.
Peace and love bro, peace and love!
get a life man, eveyones entitled to there opinion, oh n btw if any here actually wanted a n1 over a desire wouldnt they have bought one instead as its cheaper? now chop chop back to the land of less ram
I think they are both pretty well built phones.
There isn't much difference between them both.
I can't say I miss that second mic...
Haha, you'd think Nexus One and Desire users should actually be all cuddly and warm with each other. Both phones are pretty damn close to each other... not only by specs. It's just the software that makes a real difference. And yeah, I do have used both...

I dont think any phone I've ever had has had two mics, Never stopped me doing stuff with it, Unless im going to be using voice searching in a loud place or something, Which I never do. Also some of the desire is metal, and that part is easily dented I'd hate to see a dropped Nexus one, Ill stick with not dentable not scratchable plastic thank you very much
just some advantages that i noticed for desire.. fm radio + sound voulme more then nexus.. but common hardware is same just skin different for both build..
these phones are twin brothers
yes I now,almost everything
but this about difrences between phones = plastik cheap body of Desire
this irritating me mostly,as I now Nexus 1 is also made plasticly
becouse this phoines are twins meaning thay are made from same ****

Both phones are from the same company. The Nexus one is Google begging HTC to make them a phone and the Desire is HTC doing an equal phone to balance the market. Both phones might have their pros and cons, thats why users will love more one than another, but that doesnt make the other a ****ty piece of plastic...
You have to be open-minded and know the opinion of just few people doesnt make a solid statement.
Plastic, plastic, maybe you prefer a nice metalic body, so nice it's like a Faraday cage, so well protected that even your network provider can't reach your phone like... no, I won't say it
In my opinion, they are pretty much the same thing. Nexus1 is sexier tho, and I really like that trackball, but I think the optical one (which Desire has) is more accurate. Desire still beats N1 and I relaly love the fact that Desire has multitouch, which is a big plus for me against N1. I'll get my Desire at the end of August and I am waaaaay too excited about it. I can't wait (properly speaking).

Does it make a huge difference?
I did some incredibly unscientific tests (with a Desire), making calls and recording the other end. Even with a metric ton of white noise at quite high volumes, I could still hear myself clearly. Of course it didn't eradicate the noise, but it was at quite a low volume compared to my voice.
I'm sure someone might be able to pick fault with said test, but it leaves me satisfied.
I don't remember which site but i once read a review that had a video comparison between the effects of the lack of a second mic compared to N1...
Apparently the second noise canceling mic makes the background sound weird and robotic which IMO is very annoying. This is one of the main reason why I chose Desire over Nexus.
I can imagine how much you love your desire to take offense at the comment. But everyone are entitled their own opinion... It's like how I bash Iphones and my friend bash Android phones... But we don't argue over it. Simply Pointless.
Both phones are pretty much identical, only real difference is the noise cancelling (unnecessary) mic on the N1. Looks like the N1 owner is jealous of the Desire
And I can't see how anybody can say the build quality of the Desire is bad... Okay, maybe it's not quite as sturdy as my old iPhone, but if certainly feels more solid than anything else I've ever owned (and if you go back to older HTC devices like the TyTN and even the much more recent G1 you'll see immediately how much HTC have come on in build quality. Having said that, devices with sliding keyboards, with the exception of my old Psion Series 5, always feel flimsy to me.) Even the battery door doesn't feel too bad when it's attached to the phone (although I find removing it a bit unnerving.)
Plus, plastic tends to bounce when dropped, metal dents and looks hideous, like the back panel of my old iPhone. I'd rather have a well-made, solid plastic device than a metal one. My original-style (Polycarbonate) MacBook certainly looks better after 3 years of abuse than any of my previous (Aluminium) PowerBooks did!
I currently own a GS2 on AT&T (iPhone 4 on Verizon) and love it, I may buy a Nexus down the road when they are more readily available and not....800 effin dollars.
Anyway, I've seen a couple comparisons of a Super AMOLED Plus vs Super AMOLED HD screens, but they are done so close it almost seems silly to use as a comparison. I'm sure the higher resolution would help if I had my nose pressed to the screen, I just wanted to get an idea of what both screens look like close up, but not THAT close. Despite the lower resolution, the GS2 looks pretty sharp to my eye, not quite as clean as the iPhone 4, but still sharp.
If you have both phones (Nexus+GS2), can you sit them side by side and just take a few shots of the same text, icons, images. Close enough to see detail, but not right up to the screen since that's not how anyone looks at a phone.
Thanks
Point me to an image and I will do it.
Sweet thanks. I didn't have an image in mind really. Just maybe take a pic of this forums main page on both, a Gmail home screen icon with text...you know something with a smaller image like an icon and some text, or maybe a browser screen window with similar text at the same default zoom of each.
Is that making sense?
I'm not really concerned with color accuracy, more so with text and icon sharpness.
lol where are you getting the $800 price tag?? The phone is expected to launch at either $530, like the other Nexus phones, or $600.

Excellent, thanks for posting those. The difference is about what I thought it would be, sharper than the GS2, still not sure it's as "clean" as the iPhone 4, but I do notice a step up in clarity. Not sure it's night and day, I imagine if the GS2 wasn't a plus the difference would be even more pronounced. Still a nice display, now I just need to find one of these close to retail price eventually. The browser at default zoom is noticeable, probably due to the larger screen size combined with a higher resolution.
Still a big fan of the GS2, I really can't pick a favorite between the two, each have strengths, ICS being a huge one for the Nexus. Samsung really has 2 amazing phones out right now. Now to find a Nexus that doesn't come close to being what I pay on my mortgage. :-/
I was sitting with a friend today who as a SII, he set his screen to max brightness and his wallpaper to microbes. I set my phone to the same settings, and it was obvious that the resolution helps as I saw more detail (smaller microbes and more of them) but the colours are better on the SII - more vibrant. most people know this anyway. It is only obvious if you hold them next to each other, every other time I use my phone the colours are fantastic!

I read that Google purposely calibrated the screen to make the colours look less saturated and more accurately realistic. So are you sure that the reason the SGII looks more vibrant is not that the SGII colours are more saturated?
Are you guys comfortable with it? I keep seeing posts not only in this forum of it cramping peoples hands etc etc.....
I'm not finding it that hard to hold, one handed operation can be challenging once in a while especially when reaching for that top left portion of the screen but no biggy.
How many people are finding it uncomfortable to hold this device. I'd also like to suggest..

It took me a couple days to get use to.
The right case makes a big difference on how it feels in hand.
I wont be going back to smaller size device that's f,sure.
To hold it in one hand, I support it with my pinky from the bottom so I can reach the bottom of the phone to type. It mostly gives cramps to my hand but not a big deal. I had the same issue with my sgs2.
But 2 handed operation is excellent.
Actually I got used to this phone's size so fast that I started to feel the screen is still small. so I grabbed my sgs2 and played it a while. I felt amazed again to hold my note2
This is why I'm trying to avoid the candyshell hard cases or forget the otter box. I want something as slim as the device and still offer decent protection. I'm hoping the seidio surface does the job and hardly adds size. I ordered one last night.

anyone own this phone that have small hands, did you regret it? does it sucks? describe.
I have the smallest hands out of anyone I've ever met in my life. Probably due to a wrist injury I had back in middle school, and how I had my fingers numbed to punching hard-objects by elementary school, my hands are just small(but strong ). I've had the Note 2 since release date until a month ago when I sold it, and it worked perfectly. The Note 3 seemed to be just the same. While the screen is bigger, the pleather-back really improves grip while holding the device. Texting on portrait mode with 2 thumbs is the absolute best thing ever. It is the perfect size. The perfect size. If I switch it to land-scape, it'll be too wide to use effectively imo. All in all, it depends on your usage style. I'm more of a 1 1/2 hand type of guy. I usually use two hands, but only because it is faster that way. Even though for September I was using a temporary 3.5 inch android replacement phone after I sold my note 2, I still used that with two hands. It was easily small enough for me to one-hand it all the way, but I usually never did. It is slower and less convenient imo. Sure for normal use, you'll be very comfortable with this phone. For moments where you absolutely only have one-hand, Samsung has included an awesome feature that pretty much allows you to gesture and shrink the screen. This works amazingly well and helps when I'm doing something with my other hand. I do warn you of one thing though. Once you go big, you'll never go back. You won't be able to live without the screen estate and the tablet-like experience you get with movies, web, and games. It doesn't help either that the screen on this most is arguably the best of any phone in history(according to Displaymate testing).
I'm a 5 foot tall girl & my hands are pretty tiny, but I can manage it. I had the Note & the Note 2 before this so maybe I'm just used to big screens but I don't have any trouble. I can't text one-handed on it, but that doesn't really bother me. Texting two-handed on this phone is absolutely GLORIOUS- accuracy is unbeatable & each thumb covers exactly half the keyboard, there's no reaching or cramping like with smaller screens.

If you don't want to attach it directly to the phone. Then put a tpu (thermopolyurethane) case on the note 3 and stick it to that instead.

There's a lot of one handed operation features in this phone (dialer, messaging and calculator) so it's not a problem for me ..my favorite is shrinking the sceen with gesture feature and you can size it bigger whatever is more comfortable for you .. it's awesome !!!

It's a 4.8" Galaxy S3, so average-sized hands.
---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
BTW - a lot of people have no idea how large or small their hands are, so, go measure 'em to get an idea and compare against the average (for each sex). Measure from the base of your palm to the end of your middle finger.
```The average length of an adult male hand is 189 mm, while the average length of an adult female hand is 172 mm. The average hand breadth for adult males and females is 84 and 74 mm respectively.'''

I've been modding phones since the OG Razr days, and even though I don't do a whole lot anymore, I still consider phones a hobby. I was going to wait for the Fold5 or the Google Fold, but after doing a buttload of research (my normal M.O.), I decided that the Fold4 was ready for prime time. Throw in the fantastic trade-in deals and it was hard to say, no. As I told my wife, I haven't been this excited about a phone in a long time. I have to say, I'm impressed. Haven't had it quite twenty-four hours yet, but it's blowing me away. Obviously, the Samsung screens look beautiful. Sure, the outer screen is narrow, but not unusable. Especially if you swipe type. The inner screen? Well, that's what it's all about, isn't it? It's gorgeous, I love all the real estate, and being able to fold it up and throw it in my pocket is icing on the cake. I plan on reading more, and using it for GPS/Waze in the car is freakin' awesome! I'm really loving it. My only complaint, so far, is the sideways scrolling in the app drawer. Come on, Samsung! Continuous perpendicular scrolling is much more convenient. Thoughts? How do you folks like yours? Tell us what you like and dislike.
Dude, download GoodLock and you will love it even more.

Cool! I stopped rooting with my Pixel 6 Pro. I could ad block without root and with dark mode baked in I was somewhat satisfied, but I did miss Substratum. This is like Substratum without root. Love it! Thanks.

The fold for is such an impressive phone. I'm sorry that I waited this long to dive into the fold arena. I use the flip 3 and flip 4 but got rid of those phones and this one takes the cake. I don't think I can ever go back to a regular slab phone again.
coming from a note 9, i don't think i'll be able to go back to a slab phone. i've been holding off buying anything and for the longest time my note 9 was my daily driver. if i wanted to upgrade it, it would be something different. i was almost tempted to get the fold 3 but opted to wait until the fold 4 came out. the outer screen being wider than the fold 3 (ok, just a little bit) and the cameras were the clinchers. my wife got me the fold 4 for father's day after she saw me reading/browsing and making numerous trips to jb hifi to inspect the phone on display. the spen is fantastic and the only thing i lost from the note 9's pen is the camera bt remote and the sound it makes when i take out the pen (my son asked me to change the remove and insert to sounds of a light saber). took me a day or so of fiddling around and setting it up to the way i want it to be. it's now the same layout as my note 9 which suits me. i'm still using nova launcher with a klwp preset for the inner screen. outer screen is using just a static, black wallpaper. goodlock has proven to be very useful as the alternative to one ui's taskbar and it's provided me with an easy power off and screenshot buttons. the only shortcoming i've seen so far is sometimes android auto fails to connect with the phone. i know that an update is on the way to fix this but at the moment and easy work around is to clear up the cache from google playstore. other than that, the inner screen real estate is fantastic for browsing, reading books, vids, and all.
Running x2 versions of Cyberpunk on one device whilst also being able to download and extract saved games files from Stadia (try doing that on a system without an oen file management setup).
This thing isn't a phone, its a computer that fits my pocket!!

Me: Verizon will give me all but $99 back for my Pixel 6 Pro toward a Fold4. I'm going to order one.
Wife: You're getting a new phone? You haven't had that one a year yet.
Guess who's Fold4 is being delivered today. She had her 6 Pro for a shorter time than I had mine.
I'm gettuing annoyed with both the skinny front screen and the crease. I have an Oppo Find N and the crease is almost non-existent, as well as a Vivo X Fold. The outer display on the X Fold is the perfect size, I find the Find N a bit small now (think 2009 size) and the crease is also a hell of a lot better. Both these phones were purchased long before the Z Fold4 and neither crease is getting worse over time.
My perfect foldable would be the X Fold hardware (adding in S pen too) with the Z Fold firmware. And add in a micro SD card slot as well.
Until these phones hit the global market however, Samsung won't do anything about this.

the crease is there to get waterprotection which none of the chinese phones have, I rather have that than not, do you really think Samsung can't make a phone with non visible crease?

I'm with you. Give me the water resistance. The crease is a non-issue for me. I really only notice it every once in a while.
Is prefer the lesser crease. I don't tend to swim with my phone & both the Oppo Find N and Vivo X Fold both work fine as long as I don't dunk them in water. The lesser crease helps if writing on the screen with a pen which I do a lot...
