G Nexus VS SGS3 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Which of these 2 devices are you guys most interested in? If they both come out with LTE on Sprint and ICS of course? I personally am Wowed by the camera in our ET4G and hope that the next one only gets better ... what do you guys think?

Obviously it'll be the SGS3
GNexus is already old and barely a step up from the ET4G

I dunno it's gonna be a hard decision. Im sure the Sprint GalNex will be out much sooner.

Your talking about a phone that could drop in a month vs a phone that is not even going to be announced until Mwc ....then will sell in maybe June or July internationally and sprint maybe Oct or November ....might as well just say next evo in there too ...

True but it might be the obvious choice for updates other than that I heard the camera is not up to par with the ET4G and the Evo comment I have to say that it would have to blow me away and they are becoming less open than Sammy

I am just saying sprint has said 12 different lte devices by end of year ... the first will be sg nexus but when will others be out are they able to be hacked ie s-off if HTC etc ... who knows my user experience with 3d says they will have to put a great phone out to get me to ever go back to HTC ... if Samsung is upgrading CPU and gpu for sprint version of galaxy nexus they may upgrade cam and screen or none .... we won't know until they say ... just a guessing game huh..

Samsung released a statement saying the sgs3 won't be revealed at mwc. It will have an event in the first half of the year as it nears public release.

well some rumors say its coming soon
and some ppl say that on the sprint website it says that epic 4g ships with android 2.3
but i just got a replacement phone right now and it was 2.2
so im not sure but maybe it will be here one day hopefully soon.
OMG! It took this long to get Froyo from when it was released in Europe! Relax people! Let them get it right. People are still buying Epics which means 22 months for them on this phone from now. We have had 2 major upgrades in a year! Lots of apps coming out for GB only which equals money for Google which means pressure to get phones that are capable on GB. I have been on GB since May. It makes you wish Samsung never announced the upgrade and just did it when it was ready so al these kids in the back can stop saying "are we there yet?"

All i gotta say is , WTF to Casio Gzone Commando phone getting Gingerbread before the Samsung Epic 4g. lol I mean seriously.. haha I just think thats awesome. However though i am ok with my froyo roms for now.
Here is a list of the phones that got Gingerbread out of the 10's of thousands out there and the ones that will get it. Of course ignore HTC phones since people said their GB made the phone unuseable.

True, for the average user, the early upgrade bugs are bad. I'll wait for others to update and complain and go from there, dive in myself and figure it out that way, or just run a rom.

Ics coming next month?

Yesterday, during an Android gathering in LA, LA Gadgets Examiner confirmed with an Android insider that Google, HTC
and Samsung are doing everything they can to bring Android 4.0 to their smartphones. The EVO 3D and Galaxy S II were
specifically mentioned as scheduled to receive the update sometime next month.<===from talkandroid

It may be released next month by Google. But the US carriers are going to take a couple months to get them to us, the consumer.
For example, Samsung already gave Sprint the update for our phones beginning of October, but we won't be getting it until December.

I bet if that update was for the IPhone Sprint would have rolled it out already and wasted no time in supporting it.
Now I am talking about Apple updates here not Samsung. Just saying that if Sprint would have gotten a update from Apple the Apple users would have gotten it already. Unlike all the other users who has to wait and wait and be treated like a red headed step child.

The difference is that Apple sends updates directly. Samsung goes through Sprint. Sprint doesn't have much of a say as to when an Apple update gets released.

That was also before they made the promise to deliver the updates to devices that can get them in a reasonable time.
The moment got 3 or 4 updates in it's lifespan. It actually had 2.1 before the Hero.
The Epic got boofed sure, but still, I think this one will be different, and I think the Epic is the reason they didn't go with a whole new form factor.
Hopefully Samsung will follow HTC's lead. HTC announced 8 devices today that will be getting ICS in early 2012. 2 Sprint phones are on that list. http://tinyw.in/Fw1H

Twiz is the only reason we don't have ics.

The reason it will probably be June is because Samsung is redesigning touchwiz so the next phones to launch also have it. I even think Samsung either has to release it soon or its going to be a long time. Once the nexus is out it is too late. Once the sg3 is out its way too late.
This may be the better phone but I don't even care at this point Samsung always does this crap. It could actually go till September. Point blank I am only buying nexus phones from now on or going to another os. Plus I love how the nexus feels and looks.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
You argument is a bit premature. Last time I checked only one non nexus device has been updated and that just happened yesterday. It was a tablet too, not a phone. Other than the Nexus devices there is not one single ICS phone being sold that I am aware of. So, you can be mad a Samsung all you want. But, they aren't the one changing the OS every 6 months. There has been 19 Android updates in the 3 1/2 years Android has been available.
You are also not remembering Ice Cream Sandwich has been updated 3 times in 3 months and it still is having problems.
I wouldn't mind a nice update once in a while to keep things fresh. But, Twiz is not the only reason we don't have ICS. If that were the case these leaked roms wouldn't be floating around.
Have some faith in our awesome devs. If it weren't for them, you would be sitting on a stock rom right now.

Yeah most of us will buy a nexus. And the reason its upsetting is because April is a long time from now. And most of the Android phones are HTC and Samsung. Both of these companies are pretty slow to update.
Just watch somehow Samsung will release a phone with ics before this one gets it. Anyway wmim happy sprint is getting the nexus. My gf can have this phone and my dad can get the nexus s which also has ics on it.

Well to buy a GN is a bad move you will be losing much more then gaining.
The GS3 lte should drop in August that will blow away GN
Considering all of this hype for ICS you'd think that it was about the return of Jesus or something.
Its like this with every update. Gingerbread and Froyo was the same way.
On my Epic mobile phone.
I doubt Sprint will hold back the release of ICS for sgs2. 1, If people use their upgrades then they wont have one for the galaxy nexus unless they use someone elses upgrade. 2, it has LTE which the sgs2 doesnt.

Are we guessing here. We don't even know what the sg3 is and second screw touchwiz. Nexus is the best phone out now. I'll buy an iPhone before a buy another galaxy.
Its nexus or nothing else. Tired of Samsung and their awful radios. The hardware of this phone might be better but I'll take a slimmer phone higher Res and pure Google experience any day over anything Samsung can do.

Only thing better on GN hardware wise is the display.....that's it.
GS2 has better Camera ,Speaker , Battery life , processor- Exynos.
SD card is a plus as well.
Device Performance is the same except for ICS not being 3 party app friendly which is another con.

Future upgrade choices...

Here's what I've got:
1) Get Evo LTE (fugly battery door/case - whoever designed it should be fired for being an idiot) in about a week and a half,
2) Wait for SGS3 LTE (same qualcomm s4 cpu, if you believe the rumors), probably better software than htc, fewer source releases and updates. Waiting is for "Summer 2012".
3) Switch to Verizon/ATT (att sucks here) and wait for an SGS3-powered phone (not even announced yet).
4) Switch to ATT One X (available now, awesome phone, att service sucks here).
If art sucks option 3 and 4 shouldn't matter. You can't really compare the evo with the sgs3 because the us variants are always different than the international version.

According to Anandtech benchmarks, S4 is about from twice faster to similar in performance, compared to Exynos quad core in cpu benches.
Exynos seems to be about 30% faster in some gpu benches. It terms on IO ops/internal storage speed, it's a wash.
I'm definitely going with One X screen being much better than SGS3 one. I base this on having seen an ATT One X screen and GN screen. I doubt that SGS3 screen is much better than GN screen. Pentile is pentile.

All the stock/marketing pics of the Evo LTE really lead me to believe the back wasn't that bad. When I saw a live pic today from Android & Me I was REALLY dissappointed how ugly it looked. Oh well, my girl's got her's on preorder so I don't have to carry it around, plus she'll probably get a case for it anyhow.
HOWEVER... if you can complain about the back of the EVO LTE then take a look at that dumpster fire that is the SGSIII. That thing is HORRIBLE. I WILL not buy that if it looks anything like what they are showing as the international version. It looks like $hit.

1) I buy **** outright. Who checks upgrade options?
2) ET is inferior to ATT One X.
I actually picked up my balls, put them in my car and drove to the mall. I then found the ATT store. I then compared my current white ET to that white One X.
It was not even close. I felt like I was about to switch from Evo3d to ET.
In fact, it was probably a bigger difference. One X (S4 Krait) is a new gen phone.

Hey nabbed, there's nothing wrong with being a balla! If you can afford it, buy them all! The more power to you
Dumb question here, but how's the T-Mobile coverage in your area? You could get the international One X if their coverage is good enough and you don't mind the loss of LTE.
And I'm with you, I'd probably burn some cash to get the One X but instead Sprint comes out with the fugly Evo LTE.
I would wait until the SGSIII comes out for Sprint just to see how it compares with the Evo LTE and One X then decide from there. There's nothing like actually holding a phone in your hand.

I'm thoroughly confused by this article. It seems to insinuate that this is our coming SGSIII (ignore this, read it wrong) but starting at a price of $100? Seems very low ball to me. Is it possible there are two levels of the SGSIII coming to Sprint?
Okay yeah, this isn't THE SGSIII but seems to be a mid-level option. Frankly I'm not the least bit interested in mid-level phones and, like nabbed, I generally end up buying my phones at full price rather than wait for an upgrade. I've only ever successfully nabbed an early upgrade once and wasted it on the EVO 3D.

I haven't compared the actual pics and videos but essentially the s3 has the same camera as the s2, just faster and with more options. People should really take the time to read the posts in the s3 section. Many people are reporting issues that shouldn't be happening with a new phone. Many are discovering that it really is just a s2.5. It's also experiencing lots of LOS (loss of service). If you REALLY want one, it would be wise to wait until the problems get ironed out in a real update. I'm not talking about the little security update that's going to get pushed to the sprint version on sunday.

I said all this once specs were announced it's the lte version of the s2. It's basically the same phone. The performance difference shouldn't be noticed. It certainly isn't worthy of my 2 year renewal as it's an equal gen phone to what we have now. Besides who can't wait 4 months for the nexus

From someone who has one, it's well worth it. It's nowhere near "basically the same".
sprint is releasing an LTE version arent they? I dont think LTE will be available until 2013 in my area. I cant see knowingly upgrading to lose 4g until the phone could be almost a year old.

Maybe well worth it if you are not coming from an s2. Upgrading to the s3 means you can't upgrade to a next gen phone. Next gen phones come out in q4 for Christmas season. It's like having an iPhone 4 and upgrading to a 4s sure it's nicer and more refined, but upgrades for most aren't yearly anymore and most would just wait for a true upgrade rather than some polishing.
