ok heres the deal guys a got an upgrade next month and im trying to decide between the two. my main points of interest are a soild camera both front and rear, music, speed, wireless tether, display, development,build quality, and signal aka connectivity. the only thing keeping me from going straight to the gnex atm is the camera, signal (i read alot of issues with the gnex) and the processor is a tid bit slower. dont get me wrong i love stock android over sense then again the dialer for sense is nice with the auto completion. idk i just cant decide i know ill get a more 1 sided opinion on this forum but try to be open minded on your opinions....
I would say go into a store and play with both phones and see what you like more.

This solves it every time. Don't like some guys on a forum tell you what device to buy... choose what's best for you. Just be an informed consumer.
I carry both phones on a daily basis. Both of them are great devices in their own respect. The only thing I'm not in love with on my nexus is the camera. If I'm going to take a picture I'll usually reach for my Rezound first but that's about the only time I will. The battery life has been better on my Rezound also but that is mostly due to the fact that I don't use it as much as my Nexus. The Nexus feels better in my hand than the Rezound (which I also like better than the blocky Razr), I like how well it rests in my palm and also really like the curved screen. As far as processor goes there is also much more to consider than a 300mhz bump in clock speed between the two. And after using my Nexus I will never want anything other than Vanilla Android 4.0+. It pains me to use anything else. Lol.
The signal on both of them has seemed equal to me to be honest. I haven't had any of the issues other users have reported with the Nexus and both are reliable as far as network connectivity and speed. The build quality on both of them are solid. As far as music goes the Rezound does come with the beats headphones which are nice...

Sort of agree with this but sometime demo units are laggy and not a full-representation of what the phone actually is when a person is using it.

Well put. The demo units are generally not a good representation as far as performance. I still recommend getting them in your hands to see what feels comfortable to each individual. It will also give you a good idea on the user interface differences and pros/cons of each.

This sums up why i use my nexus more than my sgs2.
The only reasons I would see to get a rezound would be if you love sense, or if you really need a good on your phone. I was a little iffy about the nexus, but 2 weeks in I have zero regrets. But then again camera isn't that important to me.

I wouldnt want Sense or any other manufacturer skin/bloat/launcher, etc.
I have a GN and my wife has a rezound. Both are great phones. The Rezound does get a bit better reception. The screen is a matter of preference... The rezound is brighter, but the GN has richer colors.
I think the GN feels better in my hand and I personally prefer the button configuration
GN is definitely easier to root, although I did manage to unlock and rom the rezound also.
If you don't mind waiting, the Galaxy S III should be unveiled around then and may tickle your fancy. The Galaxy S II had a good camera so I would imagine that the next iteration would improve upon it

If you could get a rezound you wouldn't rather get the nexus? Rezound is using our same Qualcomm S3 MSM8600 chip.
As a phone, the S2 is absolutely fantastic. Does everything I want it to do. As a carrier, I'm still on the fence with t-mobile. Data speeds are plenty fast, but data reception seems to be a mixed bag.
well... when it comes to Reception, that is really the nature of the AWS technology which requires 2 wide bands 1700+2100 for up and down to work
so building penetration is always a compromise

Now that I am on the Galaxy S2, I can tell you that it is by far the best phone that I have ever owned. Even stock, it is absolutely blazing fast. After I put beastmod on it, the thing just flies, and this is before OCing. Keep in mind that ICS is supposed to be able to utilize dual-core technology to it's fullest so when the update comes up (it's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when), our phones will be in for a nice tune-up. As for as internet speeds go, I can tell you that it is BLAZING fast. It is faster and more reliable than when I had my G2 (which was just last year).
I can't post pictures but I can tell you that the fastest I have ever gotten with my S2 (in the same service area that I tested my G2 just last year) is 31MBPS. For daily usage, I consistently get 7-14MBPS. I am downloading HD videos off of Youtube in a matter of 5-10 seconds. I am downloading and finishing music downloads as soon as it pops up in my notifications bar. The phone is fast in every way, and everything flows so well together. No lag, no hassle, it just works.
got my phone a few days back from my awesome girlfriend, amazingly fast, battery only lasts a day, from 9 till 6, as i always use data connection, 1850mhz, not much of juice for this 1.5 dual core monster, resolution is a draw back with this nice screen 4.52" i am talking about, only 480*800? meh, waiting for miui roms........ only alpha versions atm, touchwiz looks gay.
speaker is way better than i9000, louder at least! some people say they want metal back cover, i say hey, it is light!!! with this kinda size!
i would give 9 out of 10 for this phone, i wanna buy the sprint version, lol, cdma 2000. not available in china yet, too bad.
What app do I use to test for lines and blobs?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Maybe I am ungrateful for making this post but I know I am not the only one who feels like this. About a month ago I was rock in a blackberry tour not because I couldn't get any other phone but because I was semi happy with it and no other phone period really had any affect on me.
Then one day I saw an epic touch in Craigslist for 200 and thought it was a scam but it was real. At first I had the phone. Its big, Los, battery, etc. Was gonna sell it for profit but I already sold my tour and the deal was just so good. Then started rooting and ics theme and tweaking made me fall in love.
Then got my gf a nexus s and put ics on it and it began. Then I went to Verizon and touched the galaxy nexus. It will cost me 1000 dollars to switch to Verizon with everybody. The physical of this phone to me is beyond any phone I have ever touched. Ice cream sand which is what android was always supposed to be.
Our screen is better in colors and our gpu is better and we have an SD card slot. But all that doesn't matter. Samsung will destroy ics with touchwiz and then the waiting game will start for a pure rom.
We all want the nexus lets just face it. The minute sprint has it most of you are gone like me.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
The only real life difference will be ics ... and its not worth $200 plus a wasted upgrade to me ... would much rather save it until quad core 2.0 GHz processors WITH ics come out like 3 months after it gets to sprint ...
Actually, I don't want a nexus, or galaxy nexus that is, with those ugly ass on-screen buttons. This phone is better IMHO. Now, if the SGS3 gets released with ICS, I will be even more sure I don't want the galaxy nexus. Touchwiz or no touchwiz. The S line is rock solid, and people that understand that, know that. (TMO's maybe not so much...)
But that's just me.

Yeah I know but physical design has to count for something. The nexus fits in the hand just right. Anyway I know its not that serious its just sad to see what HTC and Samsung will do to these phones. Give customers a choice. Most people won't root there phone.
Google has to stop selling out, yeah tons of people have android but probably 90 percent of them don't even know what android can really do.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
I can wait.
I need external SD support for my music and movies.
I can wait for devs to ready ICS ROMs, and replace TouchWiz with ADW.
The only thing I would like to have is the HD resolution, but again, I can wait.
My next phone will be a quad-core with HD resolution.
This will probably mean the GS III.
Hey we all can say we can wait but that's easy to say since you don't have a choice. When or if sprint gets the nexus then will see if you wait.
At the end of the day we still have great phones but don't act like the s3 is around the corner knowing sprint it will be September again. And we still don't know what the s3 will have.

Sorry but I have ics on my ns4g and I would not trade this phone to the hardware inferior one just because of ics. I wasn't that impressed with ics. I'm running peter Alfonzo's ics nightly. Everything works on the ROM, so its not because something isn't working. Ics seems slower on the same phone versus 2.3.6. I'd rather take better performance over eye candy.

Same here. I am running aosp's v43 with Ezekeel's Glados kernel on my NS4G and I can wait for ICS on this phone. I have no desire to get the GN at all. From what I have read, the battery and performance is inferior. If people can't wait, there are a couple of great ICS themes to hold you over...

We are not talking about the nexus s as I have tried all those rooms and they are slower because its still very new is it recall fair to compare it this early.
Second this phone the epic and nexus are pretty much the same phone but.
Nexus looks better feels better because its slimmer. On a design point it kills this phone ( this phone is nice too but nexus is an evolution of what phones will be )
And the most important thing is it is a nexus. Is anybody here looking for to touchwiz please tell me. Do you really want Samsung over Google. I trust Google is better with there own software os.
I can't even put a case on this phone or it feels like I am holding a brick. Sorry to say this because I like my phone but its design is like somebody ironed an iPhone flat. And with a case it feels like a HTC phone.

How are they pretty much the same phone? They are completely different:
Different shape

Different processor

Same manufacturer
The two phones couldn't be more different and I'm sorry but the E4GT is superior in almost every regard.

Man you guys are loyal not one person feels this way. Or are you guys still convincing yourselves. I know I was there.
Only time will tell when sprint gets it and I see you guys posting over there in xda how you love your phone. Ilk make a note so I don't forget.
Anyway guys this is a great phone so don't think I'm just being a hater. Been using ics all week on nexus s and played with a few galaxy nexus's. I want ics just how it is but even if you give it to me on this phone will still want the nexus the slimmer profile, curved glass, 720p, onscreen buttons and its pure Google. I'm sorry but I can't defend the epic against that.

IMO it's not about being a "hater". Sure ICS is sweet, and it would rock to have a Nexus Galaxy, but to spend the cash(1k according to OP) just for a phone upgrade is something in the likes of greedy little kids with the latest toys. It just doesn't make sense given we all have great phones.
The specs on our phones are great, so unless someone can jump on for cheap it just doesn't make sense. If Sprint got it people might be more interested but paying ETF + whatever it'll cost is just silly to do for essentially an OD update.
I got the nexus because I was kind of sick of going through phones and I finally thought j was happy except someone I know has the gs2 and she has it so bloated and stock and its a mess yet it seems so smooth regardless.
When I try to think of advantages I think for me is full front and back white color. Resolution doesn't bother me as I've come to realize.
Has anyone had both and noticed snap pier ping times and internet speed? As little difference between the two I have a feeling when playing with the gs2 that it just loads faster and quicker after clicking a page or refreshing this forum.
I know the development is no where near nexus but I've also come to realize I'm not as addicted to flashing roms as I used to be and am just stuck with one.
Battery I hear is great and with 2100 battery from Verizon nexus I'm sire will be awesome.
I know there are plenty of threads of this but I feel they haven't really been addressed recently in couple months.
Any T-Mobile users who have used both phones . How do you feel about the few things I mentioned and anything else you would like to add.
It just bothers me when I play with the two next to each other as awesome as the nexus is its like I can't help myself wanting the gs2 which makes me regret not getting one when I got the nexus and blew all that money.
However at this point I could defibetly do a straight trade and so just wanna hear some feedback.
Thanks guys.

You could say I'm growing up and will be working full time when I graduate and will probably be even less involved soon.
Maybe having a T-Mobile phone with actual radios designed to be used here is just stabler then an imported nexus . Maybe not.
Ics is great not gonna lie. But its a lot like other things. You get bored so I guess one thing is I don't necessarily need the latest software because to me I feel the gs2 is quite good already.

now i was thinking if i could buy this from the play store for 349. is it worth it? i dont know. i know you guys will prlly say yes. but theres a upcoming nexus this fall if im not mistaking. should i wait or tell google to shutup and take my money?!
im thinking about getting this or another HTC device... but the problem is that HTC doesnt release its kernel source right away (like it did with the amaze). im not sure if thats true with their other devices like htc one S or one X. can anyone clue me in? So if jellybean drops on the one S and one X will there be another problem with the kernal source being released? i like their build quality.
Im only going to buy nexus devices in the future fuhhhhhh. but the question is should i wait or get this one?
help me out guys?
I came from the amaze forums as well, and the galaxy nexus absolutely destroys the amaze in every way except for maybe build quality but there is so much more pros than cons it's unbelievable. I can honestly say I've never been happier, I'm running stock jelly bean no root, nothing, and its way better than the amaze custom rommed, over clocked, and custom kernel....

would you get the next round of nexus devices? hopefully there will be 5 to choose from so there would be no more issue with kernals from other manufactures with their other phones
Alright here is what I recommend. Keep your amaze. Buy a Nexus 7. & wait for the Next Nexus.
We are just 2-3 month away and that N7 will be able to keep u happy long enough.

I would take the Nexus over the Amaze for the screen alone, lest we forget then other specs. If I were you I would sell your amaze and buy the nexus. You should break even on that. Then see what comes in a couple of months. New Nexus? HTC One X+? TMO may have some nice devices coming down the pipe.

This may sound silly, but I'm just going to tell you anyway. Getting the galaxy nexus was like having a huge weight removed off my shoulders. I feel so relieved from it.
I bought it for 380. From somebody off craigslist, but it came with an extra housing and 3 sgp cases.
The next nexus won't be 350, so consider that.
And honestly the camera on the amaze destroys the camera on the galaxy nexus, the pictures taken with my galaxy nexus are good overall but not mind blowing like the amaze. The camera isn't horrible. Just good enough to not be a deal breaker.

I doubt it man. The nexus s is getting jellybean. This phone is good for about two more updates. I'm guessing, that's two years! Lol

The Nexus will be getting updates for the next 1-3 years from now.
If Google discontinues it & for some reason have not upgraded, you can root it and get the latest OTA through CM or something.
Also the N7 isn't really a tablet IMO. It's small(in a good way) & extremely portable. Something most tablet can't brag about.

i want a phone tho. i dont want to carry two devices
nexus 7 is nice but not enough for me to buy it if the galaxy nexus also has jb and a hybrid mode.
for the next 2-3 years? i hope so!
It's worth it. In fact i just bought it couple days ago. It's an unlocked international gsm for only $360. Half years ago it was $600, so it's cheap now.
What i like about it is it's a pure google experience and keep getting major updates unlike other 3rd party handset.
The bad thing about this is the screen. I could see a greent tint on the left side of my screen i ln low brightness, and people said it's normal with amoled. Urghh.

From my understanding this phone still has a great amount of life left. I'm getting a nexus on Tuesday even though there is no SD slot I'm confident I won't need it even though j have about 10gbs of music.
So if your torn between phones I'd say get the Nexus/DInc4g/Sgs3. If your into rooting and feeling free.. then go with the nexus.

I'm a tablet user who wants a smaller phone , I want to revert back to using normal sized phone. So I was thinking of getting the nexus but I read that it's batt life is horrible
Any suggestions? I'm using tab plus 7.0 and I have no complaints whatsoever with it, in fact I think my tab is even faster than s3 if you wouldn't base it on benchmarks.
Pros and cons of nexus for you?

I wouldn't describe the battery life as "terrible" - it all depends how much you use the screen each day. On average, 50% of my daily battery consumption is the screen. The more you use it, the less life you will get from it.
I use mine a few hours each day (I would say I'm a moderately heavy user), and get a full day out of it with a slightly larger, 2000mAh genuine battery, which cost $38 on eBay. The genine battery has the NFC antenna built in, whereas the non-genuine batteries do not.
The ability to replace the stock 1750mAh battery with a range of after market ones means you can tailor the physical size of your phone to your usage habits. Try doing that with a One X.
If you want, you can buy a 3800mAh (non-genuine) battery for about $20 on eBay. For that sort of money you can't really go wrong...
Pro is the huge choise of custom ROMs that you can run on the phone. There is one for just about every sort of user.
Enjoy!!!
I have the galaxy note 2 right now and was thinking about getting the note 3 until I saw the side by side front panel comparisons. I have had samsung phones for years and was debating on getting the one. The phone was released 6 months ago and that kind of worries me becuase technology seems to move so fast. So my question to you guys is how do y all like it? I played with my uncles the other day and I loved the build quality and the front speakers. How good is sense?

I've been an HTC guy for years, I've tried a couple of Samsung's (Galaxy S(fascinate), Galaxy Nexus,S4) and I keep coming back to HTC.
Personally, I can't stand anything bigger than the Rezound/Galaxy Nexus. I returned the S4 because I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it. The DNA wasn't much better (gave to my mother after a week)
The HTC one is a perfect fit size wise, I honestly don't know how anyone can use the note's as a phone... Just too big.
I may be sticking with the HTC one for a Long time, I love the build quality, design and the size (as compared to all the phones on the market now)

I came from the S3 and so far, it's a very nice phone. I really like how it feels in the hand when you are talking and I like how I can swype with one hand. As far as speed, it doesn't really feel faster than my S3, they feel about the same. Sense is fine, I use Nova as my primary launcher. Battery is good, better than the S3. But keep in mind, it's not unlocked right now and we don't know if any devs are working on it.
I have watched a couple of videos and they say the phone doesnt lag at all. Is this true? I had the s4 for a couple weeks. It had some lag here and there. How much screen time do you guys get
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've had 0 issues with lag on this phone, the speed is pretty staggering.
i've had the phone for a week and have been very impressed with it. Battery gets me through a day. its very fast as well i haven't noticed any lag.
I haven't seen any of these high end phones lag. I'm thinking some people just like drama. Great phone. Use my rule though be happy and make your purchase based on what is on the phone assuming it will never be unlocked. I've been pretty happy using the logic. I'm unlocked myself, but also happy running rooted stock sometimes.
Long time HTC user up until recently had the sg3/sg4/
This phone is great, I highly suggest it.
The build quality i superior to Samsung, and IMO we have a much better chance of unlock root for this phone than on the s4.
I have a good feeling I'll be selling my s4 in the near future.

actually, all reviewers for the s4 say that TW lags on it. Haven't seen any on my Note 2, but I don't even have TW installed. Probably just needs better optimization.

I've also heard the exact opposite. Point is what we perceive as "lag" has changed.

Re read my post. I've used an s4 its pretty much just as good. People are biased from time to time. Also as my other post said lag is more perception at this point. These super phones do amazing things. Sometimes I think my keyboard "lags" on the one badly for instance. I also realize the other factors at play. Heck people here in this forum complain about sense 5 being laggy. My point is that lag is half perception.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using xda app-developers app
Lag doesnt bother me that much as long as it isnt constant. I thought my upgrade was this month but its not until October. I think im going to call verizon and see if I can talk them into giving me an upgrade early
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I'm in the same boat. I currently have a note 2 and thinking of either the HTC one or moto x. I love the build quality of the One but love that the moto x is pretty much stock android. If this phone had an unlock/root method, it would be a no brainer. I just hope something comes soon for it and then I could load a Google experience ROM or something
Decisions, decisions...
I would honestly just be happy with root. That way I can use titanium backup and some of the other root apps I use
