I had the galaxy s2 before making the big mistake if getting an iPhone 4s which I've now come wise to and back on android with the Fab nexus one issue on my s2 it scored in the high 3000's with all the Samsung crap on however my nexus is only scoring around 1800 with virgin android new version and same spec any idea why ? I saw last night some people are getting more than the s2 so I'm confused ! There isn't any lag so I'm not that bothered would just have been nice to beat the s2
Any ideas fine people ?

Don't base anything on quadrant it is well out of date and the score can easily be manipulated.
Its nice to see there are still some ignorant arses on this forum if u don't like how I type don't read it
I'm full if a cold so not feeling well so my eyesight is affected and I'm also getting use to the keyboard perhaps think next time before you type crap

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Quadrant isn't optimized for ICS. Considering how this beast handles and displays HD gaming content I wouldn't be concerned. Same thing happened when Gingerbread was released, a lot of the scores were low when they really shouldn't have been.
Cheers,
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Does it really make a difference what your quadrant score is? Do you feel the phone is laggy?
With my nexus, I don't feel laggy at all day in and day out. I haven't seen any app lagging, and games like backstab hd, fieldrfunner hd run great on it. So what if the score is lower?

But yeah, to the OP, Quadrant isn't optimized for ICS. In general, a tool like Quadrant is only useful to let you know if tweaks to your system actually made it "faster". To a large degree, it's a useless benchmark.

Seriously though, it really is about time people stopped getting hung up on quadrant scores. They mean nothing in this day and age. I must be honest, for such early software, and on a brand new version too, I think the Nexus is remarkably good on 4.0.2.
Seriously? I've seen more mature people playing in the balls at Chuck E. Cheese........

Yeh still got my gs2 but to me I brows the internet and watch videos a lot so screen Res was a major thing for me, also honestly the s2 looked a little like the ip4 also had that, would pic the gn over the ip4 and the gs2 any day, I also notice less issues on the forums with this phone with the gs2 it was full of buggs lucky I just had some battery drain but that was it. Get the gn its a great phone.

I have no regrets whatsoever getting the Nexus.
The higher screen resolution is a plus for me...as I like to pick the smallest fonts possible to put more info on screen.
The Nexus feels better in hand probably due to the slight curve in design.
K before the store opens I know you guys think I jumped the gun and made my decision on one comment but it seems likea war between s2 lovers vs prime lovers and you hear so many good answers just so hard to tell who is telling the truth or they are just making up ****. also wanna say is that Im not that good with phones meaning that I I'm not going to root or put custom roms on it also is it also true that the nexus won't sync up with computer but it syncs everything automatically to a cloud kinda like icloud if? I like how easy the s2 works please help I'm messed up

Certainly not killing the phone at all. Just because it isn't the latest GPU on the market, doesn't mean it's not good at what it does.
The GNEX GPU is fine. I have yet to find a game that struggles to run.
thanks man. you cut stone from my heart
another beat the dead horse topic but i'll kick it again. i think google picked the best gpu for this phone for all the right reasons. i there are 2? better gpu's currently and soon if not already a 3rd? the ps vita is about to come out with sgx 543mp4, which has 4 cores, compared to the iphone4s/ipad2's 543mp2 of only 2 cores. look at how awesome the battery life is of the nexus compared to many many other androids and the iphone 4s. i think it has a lot to do with the whole package, including OMAP"s superb SOC, but the 543mp2 would've been overkill and a battery hog. heck the 543mp2 is overkill for the iphone.

I stopped into the att store today and played around with the one x they had in there. Man it was beautiful in white and in grey. The fit and finish is amazing and the screen is gorgeous... looks a bit better than my GSM nexus and the look of the device was nicer as well. Too bad the rest of the experience let me down. I don't know if it was sense or what but it wasn't nearly as snappy. I know its got more muscle but it hangs in spots for some reason and browsing on it sucked! What's the point in all that beauty and horsepower when the function of the phone doesn't respond in kind? I'd love for the next nexus to be a bit more pretty in design but this thing just works. The major failure in android so far is that manufacturer customization so far has mostly detracted from the function of the phone compared to stock. The galaxy nexus, in GSM form at least is still the high bar other android phones need to measure against. I love this phone. For that, I don't think I'll have a real choice in the future between a nexus and any others. Unless a non nexus gets true stock android there will probably be something letting it down. I think the one x or others could be as good or better overall than this phone if they had just included some phone specific apps to differenciate and left everything else stock and unlocked.
Before anyone says to just put on cm or other aosp on those other devices, unless they are unlocked and have drivers available, they tend to have things missing or unstable when going stock android.

It hit me the other day that I've actually had this phone for almost half a year. It still feels brand new to me, and I marvel at how fresh it still feels with minimal maintenance.
My GS1, Desire HD, and Focus never quite ticked all the boxes, and I had to jump through hoops to get them to operate how I wanted then to. My one and only wish is for the next Nexus to be Note-sized (I pretty much only read books on my phone now). That's not happening, so I'm as pleased with the Nexus as I'll ever be with a phone.

People in my area seam to think the note 2 is a bar of gold. They have them priced close to and even above what you can buy them new no contract price. While they are pricing the s3 around 250. Plus I had the note 1 and hated the size. I am an update junky which is why I am thinking about it.

The Nexus 4 is not all hype its got same CPU as the Note II which is the fastest processor available in a phone right now.

I have an S3 and my GF has an LG Optimus G. I wanted to see her get a Nexus 4 but we gave up. That said I'm impressed with the Optimus G, based on feel and hardware I would pick the LG phone, but I am very pleased with my S3. The performance and battery life of the LG is amazing, also black is a good color for a phone.
Lovin' my rooted S3 running stock 4.2.1 but if you're not into rooting N4 is a great choice especially the price of it. Can't really go wrong with either imo. It all comes down to preference

Actually, the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G have the same processor. S4 Pro. The Note II uses Samsung's own quad core processor (same as the S3 International)
Its like comparing apples to oranges. The Optimus G has no dev support, so that's a no go for me. Also heard the camera is brutal in low light. Yet the phone has some amazing specs for a decent price.
The Nexus 4 has amazing specs, and for the price nothing beats it. I can live with no expandable memory as long as I got 16GB. Hilariously, people are selling them for $500 to $600 because they are hard to get. I'll just wait till its back in stock.
And the golden Note II. I'll get one some day. But not for $650 to $800. Imagine telling my wife we can't afford the mortgage this month cause I bought a phone Lol. Almost as stupid as people paying over $800 for a iPhone 5. Ludicrous.

Correct, that's my mistake I thought the Note II featured the same S4 Pro found in the Optimus G and Nexus 4. The international Note II and apparently the US versions as well have the slightly upgraded Exynos 4212 @ 1.6ghz compared to the original 1.4ghz 4212 found in the International S3. To be fair though the S4 Pro might be a tad bit faster and more secure, not sure if you heard about the Exynos kernel exploit but the S4 Pro seems a bit of a better option at this point.

if you go on the Nexus 4 forum, you'll see a lot of complain about the battery.
And according to this test : http://mobileraptor.blogspot.ca/2012/12/google-nexus-4-battery-life-tests.html
if you only use your nexus to make call, you'll be fine. However, for everything else, the battery drains a lot faster than the GS3 :

N4 was a huge let down from Google.
as you all might be knowing that gnex is still not available in india
but it is available in the grey market without warranty (idc about it)
soo what you guys think should i buy this phone? as the phone being an oldy, we here get it at a price range of 20k rupees .. the phone in the same budget are Samsung grand desire cv and quite higher 25k we get one s .. one s with the s3 processor 1.7ghz oc.. not the universal 1.5 s4 processor.
soo guys what's your view on this? i know a Google device is a Google device with plenty of fukn development everyday
i currently own a one v,

It doesn't make sense to buy any of those devices at that price. Especially not anything from HTC with the ONE coming out so soon.
Many online shopping portals are selling the 16gb nexus 4 for around 24 to 25k. That would be a better option than gnex plus i really feel the next major android update(KLP) will not be as lag free as jelly bean on gnex.

I bounce back and forth between my HTC One S (s4) and Galaxy Nexus.
If you have to choose from both, I'd say the Nexus, unless you love sense. The development community is larger for the Nexus. I like that it has a removable battery and a bigger screen. I'm switching back to my GN after his post.
I don't think there is much development for the S3 version of the One S. I will say sometimes the smaller size of the One S is nice and personally, I think the camera is better.
Goodluck. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
Good luck.

Your going to need that 8 core processor just to deal with the usual android os lag by the time key lime pie comes out, i just hope one day Google can fix their os so it runs as smooth as iOS so phone manufactures don't have to keep doubling their cores Lol.

If u r fascinated with the amount of development happening for the nexus variants.. Then u should buy the nexus 4 at this point of time.. I personally use a galaxy Nexus and at times I feel it's time for an upgrade..

Yeah, I bought my wife an N4 as a surprise and now I have her old Gnex. As I said in my last post, I still the the Gnex has some legs, especially given the large development community. Also, I actually didn't mind running the Gnex on stock for a bit. Of the last four phones I've had, this one made it the longest before getting a custom ROM. I finally rooted last night and am running the lastest CM 10.1 nightly.
I will say this, with all the different ROMs available for the GNex, it'd be like having a new phone all the time (if you're a flashaholic). As much as I like my HTC One S and respect the developers, there aren't nearly as many ROMs available. Viper 2.1 (Sense) is great, and I also like Liquid Smooth (AOSP) for the One S,
Both phones have run smooth for me, on different Roms. I'm still trying to get good photos with my Gnex (any suggestions?), so the one big advantage of the One S is the camera.
Again, good luck and let us know what you go with. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions on comparing the two.

LG N4 is $489 for 16gb model here which i think is not cheap like it is elsewhere like in the US, certainly not worth almost $500 like it is here.

Paarth I suggest you to get a nexus 4 16 GB if you get it for around 24k-25k otherwise gnex 16GB for 19k-20k is always a good option but consider a nexus 4 because believe it or not gnex is already close to 1.5 years old....
In the end its always the war between nexuses homie!!!!
you stay in Mumbai mate.. you know we getting it for 34k at alfa.. and gnex for 19k.. now you telme
8gb one i need to enquire now

I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy Nexus to anyone anymore. I bought mine in July and it was considered old even then. I'd go with the S4 or if you can, the Nexus 4.
Gnex is old now, still OK but its hardware is outdated.
