Speculation as of now is there won't be a 32GB gsm version. But it's too early to completely write it off.

I don't see why they would take preorders on the uk and us site if it's not coming out. This is what I've been waiting for anyway. 16GB is not enough.

You sir, have quite possibly changed my mind about getting the Galaxy Nexus. I'm still using my N1, hoping for a 32gb GN. But if the specs of the SIII are true, it would make more sense to get it instead of the GN.
Nah, I'm pretty sure the next OTA upgrade from Google will give us 32 GB, together with the 8 MP camera upgrade. I also heard rumours that in Q2 they will upgrade the SGN to quad-core, also via OTA.
I want me a Galaxy Nexus but not for almost 700.00 dollars. I'll wait until the 32GB version comes out and it will drive down the price of the 16GB version.

Completely unsubstantiated. Besides, always waiting for the next big thing means you spend more of your time waiting and less of your time enjoying what's currently available.

Even if they do unveil the SGSIII at CES in February, it will be another two months before it released anywhere... and then you have a 1 in 4 chance its released on your carrier. It could be another 3-4 months before it hits your carrier. And by then the rumors will already have begun for the Nexus 4 so you might as well wait another 6 months for that to come out and then here we are again.
Cycling every other Nexus is a pretty solid plan, considering my N1 still works flawlessly.

That's sounds about right. US carrier branded SGSIII likely mid summer. SIM free versions in Europe in April/May.

My main reasons are for the bigger screen, design, LED. Do you think I'm being stupid?
Btw 16gb is more than enough for me so no need of sd card, almost never play games, don't really use camera and saw sample photos from galaxy nexus it looked good and even better than Iphone 4s to me.

In the same boat here and it really is a difficult decision. In one mind I love my GS2 but the 720p display, pure google experience and notification led is certainly attractive!
I just returned my AT&T GS2 a few minutes ago and I'll be picking up the Galaxy Nexus. I really liked the GS2, but as a Nexus One owner, there's nothing like owning a Nexus!

it's more of a side grade from SGS2 to GN, but if you count the screen, then yeah the larger 720p is an upgrade

Try visiting the SGS2 section.
Well friends have taken the hard decision,,sold my SGS 2 to one of my friend{at a very good price},,now waiting for Samsung Galaxy Nexus to launch in India next week,,have used{still using} Nexus 1 & the notification led and stock google experience and a huge development support is great.
So going for Galaxy Nexus
Fast updates and software support is enough reason to ditch GS2 for the galaxy nexus. Especially now that manufacturers are beginning to move to next stage of hardware. 720p will be the next standard for screen resolution. and when android 5.0/jelly bean comes, Galaxy Nexus will be getting it officially. And Galaxy S2 might not.

I'd definitely go with any Nexus device over any other Android phone simply because of the updates. Google will keep their promise to keep their devices updated for the minimum 18 months that they're asking all the other manufacturers to do. Samsung apparently isn't going to update the SGS1 even though it could handle the update (has nearly the same specs as the NS for crying out loud) and they'll more than likely try to skin 4.0 when they do get around to updating. I remember waiting and waiting and waiting for my Vibrant to get 2.2 before I finally ditched it for the Nexus S. Never looked back after that choice. You will not be disappointed with your decision to sell and wait for the GN.

It still takes time for developers to port official android updates to non nexus device. so basically the nexus line up gets the fastest, conplete, less buggy and timely updates.

On what phone?
Hii guys,
So ive been saving up some money to buy my new phone. I initially chose the GNex since it is cheaper and other stuff. I'm from india and i thought of buying it from ebay india.
Anyway now that LG nexus 4 release date is close(will it be released in india this november ??) i'm wondering if its still a good move to buy the GNex. I heard that the LG nexus 4 have 2 gb ram etc etc better specs than GNexus ?? Is that true ??
So, i thought of ordering Galaxy nexus this week. Is that a good choice ??
If someone could help me making my choice i would thank it very much
Thanks in advance
Use common sense....plus they pulled gnex from playstore
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Needing LTE or being on Verizon or any other CDMA network are the only two reasons to stay with the GNexus.
lolz.. with that spec and with that price and with you made it obvious... you still dont know the answer?? the spec are way too high than gnex. its a different case if already have a gnex, but since you didnt... oh well "go go for Nexus 4" lolz...
i'm a Nexus collector so i'm getting it while I can.

the price will most likely be similar to the gnex with minor difference..but the specs are better, so its better to wait and buy the n4 rather than get the gnex imo

We don't know if the nexus 4 will launch in India or not. Or when it would launch, if it does. Most people say it would likely be priced at 25k but no one knows for sure.
If you are willing to wait for more than a month for a possible release (which may or may not even happen) or are ready to spend over 25k to order it online and have it shipped, then the nexus 4 is a good choice.
The galaxy nexus is available right now for pretty cheap but it isn't as good as the N4.

It would have been so awesome if they still offered the GNex for like $99 off contract, that would have downright incredible, but obviously would have cut sales from the N4.

The Nexus 4 has a better CPU, GPU, more RAM, slightly bigger and higher resolution LCD screen, wireless charging, and larger battery.
Yet unless something happens to my Galaxy Nexus I'm not upgrading because I've decided there are two things I love about the Galaxy Nexus that isn't available for the Nexus 4:
1) AMOLED screen. I don't care that it's pentile. Maybe my eyesight sucks because I can't tell the difference between pentile and non pentile 720P screens. I can tell the AMOLED screens produce colors I like.
2) Swappable battery. This is crucial for me.
With that said... I wouldn't spend more than $200-$230 on a used Galaxy Nexus... because let's face it... the Nexus 4 is still a beast of a device for the money.
even im eager to buy one here in India.. but i think u shud see this http://pricebaba.com/blog/coming-up-nokia-lumia-510-lg-l9-htc-8x-one-x
Expected price is around 30k in India.. not confirmed though.. Saw in some italian blog too that even there its going to be priced around 550 Euros according to some credible sources.. so if it costs more than double the amt compared with US, I think getting a Gnex makes sense or ask some one to get it from the US.
we are always deprived of all good things in the world or shud pay a lot to get them.. sucks
from this phone, difference is literally day and night, im getting 6 hour screen time now
but for those that want to switch over, note 2 also has the infamous blob/vertical line issue
so beware.

my issue with t989 is that the battery is really crap...after a full year of use the battery wont even last 3 hours screen on, so i figured id let my mom use it for voice only (which still goes on for days)

Yea I was just updating the GSIIIs in my store to 4.1.1. Much smoother than ICS. Although they still stutter and spurt a bit. Although I think that might be due to the crappy demo software T-Mobile loads floor models with lol. You can definitely tell with the notification toggles. They're were choppy on ICS, much smoother on JB.
And yes I agree with your s4 move. I believe Sammy may be putting their dual core a15 exynos/Mali t604 in it. I'm gonna pass on all phones this gen and wait for that. Its monster!! Have you seen the Nexus 10 in action?

Oops! Lol. I kinda thought that after I posted it....but too lazy to worry about it!
I have been eyeballing the Note 2, whats this about an S4 though? I would love the power of the Note 2, in a smaller package. The SGS2 is the perfect size. The Note even in my hands is huge.
The S3 wasn't enough of an improvement over the S2 to be worth it in my eyes. If the S4 shares some of the specs from the Note 2, like perhaps a Quad core CPU, 2 Gb of RAM, and an HD screen. I'm in.
Thought about switching but the phone just seems to big for my day to day use.
I was thinking about the s3, note 2 or waiting for the s4.
So how does compare in holding the s2 in hand vs the note 2

xiaomi m2 or nexus 4 would be your best bet(id go with the n4 tho)
edit:
LOL thought you meant s4 as in snapdragon s4
ya, the s4 coming out next year will rock provided they actually give it:
2-4x cortex a15 cpu in big little config
mali t658

From what I've gathered the Galaxy SIV will sport a 5 inch 1080p SAMOLED screen, a quad core A15 architecture Exynos 5 chip possibly coupled with the Mali t658 GPU. Samsung is really trying to knock it out of the park with the GSIV. Can't wait for spring!

Not to mention if your on t-mobile , they are rolling out LTE in 2013 so you might want to hold off on a phone that's actually compatible with it. I'll bet the S4 will be.

I believe that the TMO Note 2 already has latent LTE bands that will be activated via OTA upon the network launch / roll-out.
Hi,
About a year and a half ago I went from an iPhone 3 to a Galaxy Gio (my first android phone) and I've been happy ever since with Android. But the phone is on it's last legs, so time for a new phone.
Now with the arrival of the Nexus 4 I was really excited about it and was thinking about getting one.
But the issues with delivery, the fact it can't be found in the Netherlands and the fact that no retailer sells it for the 299e it's supposed to go (LG told a big Spanish retailer to sell it for 599 I read yesterday, MediaMarkt in Germany sells it for 395) made me look for an alternative.
I don't want to spend too much, so my budget is around 300 as I recently bought an iPad for the "heavy" things such as games.
I purely want a phone with a large screen that is able to play games you play for a few minutes. Stuff like Temple Run, racegames etc etc.
I'm now leaning towards the Google Nexus, my question is how future proof is this phone? Will it be able to run games that come out, say, the next year or so? Will updates after 4.2 also appear for the Galaxy Nexus?
I found a brand new one for 249e, is it still worth the money? Many thanks in advance.
Definitely worth it . Over a Year old and its still one of the best phones on the market . It has no problem with any current games and I don't see that changing for some time. Dual cores are still on top! a quad core is almost pointless ....for now. They still put the dual core chip sets in the galaxy Slll.

They put dual core S4 in the American S3 because of LTE not playing well with Exynos Quad. Same for the HTC One X/S.
I just bought my second one. It is a very very capable device. Personally I don't game on my phone aside from the occasional Bad Piggies or GTA Vice City when I'm bored at work, I use my Nexus 7 for all my gaming needs, but when it comes to every day computing it is still a top performer. Due in large part to the Project Butter enhancements that make it super speedy. Switching between applications or multi tasking is a breeze.

People still underestimate the dual core processors, the Snapdragon S4 dual core is still a beast processor.

It's aight, still haven't found a phone worthy to upgrade to
Why not the Nexus 4 when it comes into stock? Same price, and next version of the phone.

A lot of us feel the LG Nexus is a step down in terms of build quality and the cost isn't really worth the benefits. Yeah it has more ram and processors but the camera is just as sad compared to the what it could/should have been. Its just not worth that extra cost. For instance I bought a mint GSM Nexus about 2 weeks ago, it is 6 months old and I got 4 OEM batteries + charger, and 7 cases including a SGP Neo Hybrid and a mess of screen protectors for 299. I would have paid no less then 399 w/tax & ship for a Nexus4 with nothing else.
It would be better for most of us to keep on chugging with the Gnex until the next Nexus device comes out that should be a good sized leap from the N4. Phones have that 2 cycle evolutionary leap. Like how the first HTC phones were great and the 2nd series (sensation....) Sucked pretty bad. But the OneX is great and the OneX+ isn't a huge improvement. Same thing with the Nexus phones. The Nexus One was spectacular. 1GHZ processor when 550 was unheard of. 512 ram, when 256 was normal and a S-AMOLED screen. The Nexus S was moderate. A curved screen, NFC and 1gb ram ( I could be wrong about the ram) were the only major improvements. But then the Galaxy Nexus introduced a dual core processor, huge 720P HD screen, on screen keys and a lot more.
I think the next Nexus will be huge

This phone rocks and I love it but recently 4.2.1 has been giving me issues and I feel like a beta tester for Google. Don't say flash factory images, I did and I factory reset a few times. Hoping on 4.2.2 to fix the issues otherwise this phone is still extremely capable and does everything I need it do and can easily last me another year.

A. The Droid had a 600mhz TI omap processor, same as the Palm Pre so 550mhz was definitely "heard of".
B. The Nexus 1 had a regular Amoled display.
C. The Nexus S had 345 RAM. Advertised as 512 same as the S1.
D. The GNex didn't "introduce" anything but the 720p display.

That's how I want to use it too. Mostly for browsing, communicating and a game from time to time.
Plus it's very customizable with all the ROM's and kernels I saw here. .
I guess you guys will have a new member on your side soon .

Because nobody sells it for 299 in Europe. The 299 version goes for 395. Black market at the moment is 500e.
Plus there is a 7 week waiting time for the people that already ordered. It will take well over 2 to 3 months before it will be widely available. Who knows how long it will take before it's available for 299.
Maybe in a year or so I'll upgrade to the 4 .
E. I'd love to hear how the gnex "introduced" a 720p display.

Yep gnex is still an excellent device. Before I got my nexus 7 I was playing dead trigger and nova 3 on my gnex with no problems, only game my gnex ever struggled with was gta3. As far as web browsing and phone purposes, works like a phone is supposed too.
I intend on using my gnex at least until the next nexus is released, maybe longer.

Find a phone that had one before it.
My friend asked the same question. It's old and it may be dropped by Google (look at the Nexus S).

who are going to update to nexus 5 and why??
I have ordered one though :angel:
I'm going to get a Nexus 5 because the 1GB RAM isn't enough for what I'm doing with my phone. With multiple Tasker things, PIE control, Halo, Chrome, lots of constant music listening, Nova Launcher themeing, things keep getting killed, lagging my phone, and at times even rebooting. 4.3 helped, but the hardware limitation is still there. That, and my display is wearing out. I can see lines in many places. I won't dump my Galaxy Nexus, though. It'll become a test device to test the apps I'm developing.
Now all I'm waiting for is someone to let me buy one... Come on either Google, Amazon, or Best Buy!
i have bought nexus 5 because i was waiting for it for a couple of month and and my galaxy nexus is no where good in taking normal daily pictures so OIS + nexus that made me to fall in love with nexus 5
I'm buying because I chose last October to not to buy any phones until the next nexus generation phone came out. So I've been waiting too darn long for this phone to drop. But Google decided to be a pest this year with all the ****ery they decided to do to promote this phone. It's like having blue balls and although there's a chick laying there naked knowing you want it but just won't let you have it yet instead she flaunts the p***y in your face to show you how good you can expect it to be. :'( Google stop teasing just let me get in it already lol.

I've been planning on leaving Verizon for the next nexus. Honestly though, I'm not terribly impressed with the Nexus 5, so I may go Moto X. Whichever has a better camera and battery life.

yeah every time I got a p***y in my face, I gagged. But yes I got my N5 on order! 4.2 was what convinced me that I need to upgrade my 9250 to a faster Nexus.
Not sure if my next phone will be a nexus or.. and Android :|

I've been holding off on the phone purchase but now is the time. Black Nexus 5, 32G on it's way. I couldn't beat the off-contract price.
I'm done with VZN, probably going with $30 T-mobile monthly prepaid.
You realize the nexus 5 is just an inferior cheaper knock off of the lg g2 with a crappy camera an battery.

I got slimkat 4.4 on my gnex does that mean my gnex is better than the g2, the g2 has 13mp camera compared yo nexus 5 that has 8mp, the battery is 3000mah on g2 an 2300mah on n5 plus g2 has a slightly bigger screen.Throw a kitkat rom on g2 an you got a better phone than n5 if your theory is correct.
