Hi.. Just got my replacment galaxy nexus maybe 2 weeks ago and im thinking "should i get the galaxy s 3.. It will cost me and extra 50euro if i want to bring my galaxy nexus back to the shop and swap for the gs3. So if you were in my shoes would you do it or? Please leave your comment on what you think

This is the Galaxy Nexus forum. Of course no one here will say they would take the S³.

For only 50 eurons on top? Yeah, I'd personally go for it.
Hell of an upgrade for that money.
The only reason I would do that - for the better battery time. S3 has a bigger battery and specs are promising a long battery time.

I can only give you the same advice I would give anyone when it comes to choosing a personal device, ROM, kernel, or just about anything for that matter.
Try both, see what fits you best. If you personally like the GS3 better, go for it. If you don't, don't. Do what makes you happy and not what makes others happy.
Hmmm good answers i like the s3 but love the way were getting android 5.0 before anyone else whenever its out

Why you are so excited about early updates? What updates Nexus got first than others which would be worth mentioning? Except the ICS itself?

Galaxy Nexus (GSM) = Android updates as soon as they're available. These updates include new stock Android features, security updates, kernel updates, driver updates, radio updates, etc. Essentially, updates to everything that runs the phone.
Everything else = anywhere from 2-18 months, or never.
Wikipedia, I know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history#Ice_Cream_Sandwich_4.0.x
Otherwise, to the OP, my previous recommendation still stands. Which device is best for you is something only you can decide, not someone else.

There haven't been any major updates. The nexus will get 4.1 and 5.0 before every other phone.

What's right. But I will repeat my question: list me the updates Nexus got first
None so far.

I love my GNEX. But if I had a chance to swap for an S3 and pay $100 on top, I would.
Hardware is better, community will be big, and the phone is much smoother and overall a lot faster in every way that I can think of.
We Canadians will be getting the 2GB RAM version in a couple weeks. I jumping on it as soon as it comes out.
And I will be keeping the GNEX since it is a very good phone still, even by the end of the year, it will still be a very good phone.

Because there hasn't been any yet. You're using a technicality. When Google finishes the next major update, it will be first on nexus phones. Besides nexus isn't about fast updates, its about having fully open kernel and rom code. That's the point. You'll never get code for touchwiz or sense framework.

4.0.1
4.0.2
4.0.3
4.0.4
And every update for the foreseeable future. Just because there haven't been any MAJOR updates (AKA, Jelly Bean or w/e it will end up being) doesn't mean it hasn't gotten every single Android update before every non-Nexus device on the market. It hasn't gotten that update yet because that update doesn't exist yet. Even so, it will get that update at least 2-∞ months before anything else, except perhaps the Nexus S or the next Nexus device(s). Most Android phones that are coming out with 4.0 are coming out with 4.0.2 or 4.0.3; and although the updates since 4.0.1 have been small, there have been several bug fixes and new small features in every update since. Take, for example, 2.3.4 which enabled video chat on Google Voice. If you didn't (or still don't) have 2.3.4 or newer, you couldn't use it. It just didn't exist as far as your phone was concerned. 4.0.3 made several improvements to ICS in general, including but not limited to graphics improvements, new APIs, new and improved camera functions, bug fixes and accessibility improvements. Not to mention that the updates and Android itself are built with this phone as the hardware reference point and more or less designed from the ground up with this phone in mind. Android 4.0.1 was released October 19, 2011 and it still only makes up 7% of Android handsets 8 months later. If Google continues releasing major Android updates in November/December, that means there are only 5-6 months left for ICS to be current, and it's easily possible we'll see more updates until then that will never appear on other phones.
Take the T-Mobile Galaxy S II for example. That phone was released 12 October 2011, a week before 4.0.1 was released. It received an update from 2.3.5 (released July 25, 2011) to 2.3.6 (released September 2, 2011) just a week or so ago. It will be finally receiving 4.0.x (IIRC the worldwide version currently has 4.0.3, which it received March 13, 3 months after the Nexus) on June 11th according to the press releases the past few days. This is actually one of the better examples of a non-Nexus device getting an update.
This whole 'argument' is ridiculous and is either trolling or an attempt to derail the thread or both. Or not, it's hard to tell sometimes. Either way, it will always be the phone that makes you happiest that is best for you. I'm done.
for another 50 Euro, go for it GS3 is way better than GNexus

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
That's a serious argument not to love the S3

After screen is broken - it just doesn't work anymore What a shame Samsung..
PS: Me.. I love my GN. But if I could, I would switch to S3. S3 is just a bit better.
PS2: Is it possible to have another launcher (if I don't like Touch Wiz) on S3? Like completely disable TouchWiz and install Apex or any other?
Just phoned up my phone provider as my second nexus is still causing awful.problems with signal and reception issues. Anyway, they cannot issue me with a 3rd nexus as they have withdrawn it from sale due to too many customer complaints! Bonus as I will only pay £40 and stay on current contract which ends in 14 months. Don't know much about s3 as didn't want to look as I knew I couldn't get one! Anyone gone from a nexus to s3, what's the main advantages/disadvantages? I'm in the UK.
Disadvantages:
Prepare to have 4.0.4 as the last OS update you see for a very long time.
And worst of all TW...

You will have a faster phone but as others said, say goodbye to updates.

That is one opinion anyway. If 4.0.4 is crap for you now, what makes it less crappy when on another device for the next 4-6 months?
Actually there have been more than two releases, fwiw.
ITL41D 4.0.1
ITL41F 4.0.1
ICL53F 4.02
IML74K 4.0.3 (AOSP or Nexus S only)
IMM76D 4.04
IMM76I 4.0.4
IMM76K 4.0.4
I omitted the tablet specific updates of IML77 4.0.3 and IMM76L 4.0.4. I also omitted leaks such as IMM30B and IMM48.
Probably get better input posting this in the s3 forum because if they went from nexus to s3 they will probably be in the s3 one not here.
I would sell some blood or a kidney and just buy another nexus off here. Its totally worth it, plus a sweet story to boot

Had my s3 leaa than 8 hours. Came from best buy with 4.1.1 on it out of the box.
My Galaxy S3 came with 4.1.1, ordered from AT&T about a month ago.
Mine had 4.1.1 and I thought it ran smooth as butter until the screen started flickering. Found out it was a known issue with the AT&T update. Rooting and flashing a new ROM fixed that problem.

Oh, I think he meant 4.1.2, with a custom ROM. Mine came with ICS (4.04?) Currently on 4.2.2 (CM10.1)
The day I got my S3 it was 4.04(ICS)
It was the first day the S3 was released in Vancouver. My lunchbreak at work consisted of me calling Telus, Rogers, and finally Bell for a 32GB model.
Bell was the only one who had three left when I had called. :laugh:
AT&T from Walmart
My S3 was bought early June from Walmart and mfg 5/23/2013 according to Samsung. Came with 4.1.1
I got my brother a SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 a week ago and it is ICS 4.04
I can't wait till he lets me root it but until then it will be ICS

He can update it to 4.1.1 through kies. He should do that first or run into bootloader issues when flashing custom roms.
