I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

long story short.
Coming from an iPhone 4s, two week ago I decided to come back to Android which I really miss.
Had Nexus one, Nexus S and I love them both.
Sold the iPhone and bought my Nexus from my local electronics store popular electronics in Chicago for $500 out the door.
I have had Zero problems, Nada!!
People been complaining to much that i was worry about getting a defective device but no... no color issues, reboots, radio is fine, screen is perfect and battery is very very good.
I really missed android.

it really depends....
LTE Verizon Galaxy Nexus.... battery is bad
GSM Galaxy Nexus..... pretty good.
Probably most of the complainers are from LTE because 4G LTE is using a lot of their battery. 4.0.4 also addresses some of these problems with android os battery leaks.

Yeah I truly love this nexus. So elegant looking, beautiful smooth and modern/smart UI. And button less front just looks stunning watching HD YouTube videos in the app. Its gorgeous. Plus idle battery usage stays dead flat. Its perfect.

It is such a gorgeous phone .. but the hardware specs are falling behind with the advent of HTC the OneX ... thinking about switching ...
Although in the couple of weeks I used the GNEX I was stunned by how everything in it screams gorgeous ..

Depends, hardware is better, but development is going to be slow and not as great in the long run. It really c;mes down to software or hardware, personally I will never buy anything not called a Nexus. But, it is your decision.

Agreed however they are scheduled for an OTA ICS this week ( T-Mobile) which should speed up development. I myself come from the White S2 and I must admit I like my GN much more. Its a sleek sexy phone, not to mention the pure android experience, something you can get a taste of but not the full experience on the S2

The Nexus is like a Galaxy S2½. So, there should be something else added to the trade. Maybe GS2 + US$100 = GNex.
Nope. Wouldn't suggest it.

I think its a better phone but its software is less. Nowhere near the same dev support or official support. If history repeats itself the s2 will only get one major update. I doubt it will ever see anything past ics.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Don't get it. As a fellow Kitchener dude (that doesn't matter, though) believe me, you won't like an S2. I've used one, and I prefer my current GNex. The screen on the S2 feels like a step down despite being non-pentile, due to the low resolution. Also, TouchWiz is horrid. There are so many minor things at which the GNex is a better choice.
1) Dev support
2) Timely updates
3) Better screen
4) Better design (curved)
5) Stock
6) Better battery life
7) NFC
8) On-screen buttons
9) Better performance (TouchWiz on ICS takes up more RAM than stock launcher, etc)
10) No stupid carrier bloatware
11) No Samsung Kies
You've already made the decision, so I'm just adding this here in case you had second thoughts.

The nexus has better screen size (4.65"), resolution (720p) and development.
The One S has better processor (dual-core s4) and custom hardware (image sense).
So it depends on what you want.
nexus vs one x i would understand. but why go one s unless you really want a smaller form factor.
honestly... i like most high end androids. but its always the nexus for me. stock android is the best... in my opinion at least.
id still take my galaxy nexus over the galaxy s3 or the one x. heck.. i never got tempted to replace my nexus one until the nexus s came out. but i finally jumped when the galaxy nexus got released.
if you like sense.. go for the one x. if you like smaller phones then go for the one s. go get the galaxy s3 if you can wait for that. but look at it this way... would you want the next iteration of android the soonest? if you wanna get jelly bean this year then there is no other choice but the galaxy nexus.

Not being biased when I was mainly comparing it to my old sensation. Nexus aside. If I were going straight to tmobile for a phone I wouldn't see the advantage in getting the one s over the sensation. To me the sensation screen looks better feels better in your hand and the one s cones in silver/grey with panzy blue trim on it. It was snappy but not an improvement over previous HTC models. Just disappointed with the one series is all. Nothing but hype

No Gnex does not feel cheap it feel like a great device specially with the on screen nav buttons camera is not bad but ain't great and the One S I think it has a better camera overall specially woth moving shots(with tryig out with my 2 year old and pets ) . one s feels better after a while the unibody design and thin part makes it look good. I would be happy with etheir one but the best options for rooters is Galaxy nexus IMO for other might be the one s

I would choose the GN over the One S. Tue ability to stay contract free appeals to me. Also, the bigger screen with better resolution is a no-brainer to me. The One S feels nice in hand and high quality. The GN is no slouch either. While it is plastic, it feels nice and has good heft. Just my .02.

To be honest I bough the GN because of the large screen... my old iPhone was just too small for my hands. Now with the iPhone 5's bigger screen I guess I'll have to see how much the extra screen real estate makes a difference, I doubt much as far as typing goes though due to the same width!
Because it means l'm not easily fooled by bull**** products.

I traded my Epic Touch for this phone. Mainly for the pure Google greatness that is the Nexus Project. I got sick of having a phone that I had to mod out of the box to be mildly satisfied with. Having a phone that starts with AOSP is a wonderful thing. As for the iPhone. I will never knowingly buy an apple product. I try to stay as informed as I can and by doing that I just cannot buy a product from a company I truly hate. After having this phone for a few weeks I can say this. As long as Samsung makes the nexus. I will never buy a non nexus phone again.

The worse battery life...
The iphone 5 has a stupid aspect ratio on the screen. They also kept the width the same while increasing the length LOL? Viewing pictures on it must be odd..I can care less about the A6 processor and the new camera.
According to apple my gnex is already essentially an iPhone except without the locked down iOS, that the sheeple seem to love.

Just bought a Galaxy Nexus instead of waiting for the N4 to come back in stock..

So I sold my S3 (which I really regret) in anticipation for the N4. I couldn't get one on launch and theyve been sold out in the UK play store ever since.
I'm kind of glad I didn't get one now. I was always concerned about teething issues and 16gb bothered me.
Today I decided to get a GN off eBay as a stop gap. Besides the camera, it is a wonderful device. I like the build and I love the pure black front. I'm also a sucker for amoled screens. I've used my brothers one fairly extensively and with 4.2 it seems like a really "complete" device.
My plan is to keep the GN for around 6 months. At that point I'm hoping Google are going to do an N7 and release a 32gb model. Only at that point will I pick an N4 up.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it, and for the first time since my S1, having a device which I can run 100% working AOSP rooms on.

Cool story
I think you'll really like it. I've had mine for about 3 weeks - got it for a steal on eBay right after the Nexus 4 was announced. When I got it, it looked completely unused.
Anyway, even the camera doesn't bother me. It's as good as any other cell phone camera I've ever used though I suppose it's not the best out there (HTC or Nokia most likely have those). Still what I use my phone camera for is stuff that winds up downsized on Facebook anyway. If I want to take nice photos, that's what my Canon EOS T3 is for.
Yea it is not a bad decision. The camera really does not bother me at all because it actually takes great pictures. Overall it is the software mix with the mp that produce great shots so the 5mp only sounds bad but quality is pretty good imo. The development is amazing as well with all the new 4.2.1 Roms coming out
Also depends on how much you got the gnex for thou?

To the OP I gave my wife my S3 and took my old GNex back from her. She hated the battery life of the GNex and I hated not having the latest version of Android lol. All in all the GNex is a great phone I just wish I could get the battery to last a bit longer.

I am in the exact same place as the OP. I sold my white S3 to buy N4 but after 10 days w/o a decent phone bought a brand new GNex.
Actually I do not regret of selling the S3. I really love the pure android.
I tried CM in s3 and it was buggy as hell.
I will go for an N4 but gnex is a remarkable phone. Period
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks guys you've certainly reassured me.
I think I've made a good decision for the meantime. I played with stock 4.2 on the gnex and I absolutely loved it. Android has come so far from eclair, which is what I started on.
And I don't care what anyone says about amoled, the pure black with saturated neon blue on the gnex is sexy as hell.
Only thing is gaming, but for anything serious I much prefer to use the N7. I'm sure the gnex will cut it for temple run etc!
I can see myself becoming a serial flasher again lol.

I totally agree. I hear a lot of people *****ing about the displays on this phone, but I have to disagree, especially after a minor color tweak. Punchy colors (but not too punchy), super dark blacks, 320ppi (pentile be damned it still looks great)..I find myself just staring at my home screen sometimes which features a city scape at night recolored with a rainbow like effect, it just really shows all the strengths of this screen.
Certain shades of gray are the weakness, but I rarely encounter them, and the rest of the time it just looks great, so I really don't care.

sell gnex then buy iphone = 1 less fanboi on xda??
I sat a couple of days ago with a N4 in my cart, with a ship date of 1-2 weeks...but something just didn't seem right to me. It was $350 I didn't really have to blow, but I really needed to get something going because my company is kicking everyone off their Verizon corporate plan at the end of the month.
I've been a Galaxy S I (Fascinate) user for the past 2 years, and I wanted to stay with a Galaxy family. I have been researching using a GSM GNex for T-Mobile Prepaid. So, I bailed on the N4, with the hopes that I could find a good deal on a GNex (I knew I could get a "like new" one from Amazon for $300).
Then my Fascinate died. My Galaxy S1 that I've babied and taken such good care of it's whole life....now in a endless bootloop with no USB access whatsoever to flash anything new to it. Oh well, I was going to have to send it back to corporate next week anyway. Still, I haven't been without a mobile for more than a day in a long time.
Somehow luck was on my side. The very next day, a local man posted his "like new in box" GSM Gnex for $200, and I pounced. Met him during his 2nd shift workbreak and bought it immediately. Got it home and shoved my T-Mobile SIM in there, and completed the activation and number port online. Took them about 8 hours (overnight) to port my number from the corporate plan.
I'm thrilled with my decision. I love the look, feel and quality of the GNex..and the step up in speed and smoothness from my Fascinate (that was running CM10 nightlies) is immense! I'll probably end up using this for a year or two and pick up one of the next generation Nexus phones (maybe a Google/Motorola Nexus?), skipping the LG N4.

Really? You think I haven't used a retina iphone? I have, quite a bit. Yeah, it's good, but bleh color and bleh black level, and come on, minuscule in size. Way worth the tradeoff of pentile thanks, especially at these resolutions. I would agree with the old 480x800 pentiles, but 320 ppi is damn small, and the downsides to pentile are hard to see at best. So, in the real world the Nexus screen imo looks much better.
Especially while looking at pictures or watching movies. The GNex is amazing compared to iphone 4's 'it's sharp but meeh'.

I just switched from VZW Galaxy Nexus to a GSM Play Store model and I love it. But for GSM in Mint condition expect to pay $$$. I paid 299 for mine in mint condition w/7 cases incld SGP Neo hybrid and 4 Batteries w/NFC and charger. Most Mint ones go from $270 and up

Really? Mint condition goes for that much? It's pretty much borderline for the nexus 4. Hmm, maybe I should of sold mines instead. No drops, scratches.

Just go and get a Gsm Gnex, here in Europe, it sells around 200/230 euros, which is quite a lot, if you consider the price for a Nexus 4 on the Play Store. But, the lack of N4 made the second hand prices improve. And it is still worth it, because the Gnex runs 4.2 very well.

Its honestly 2 reasons the GSM Nexus is high.
#1 The Nexus4 has been out of stock a lot recently and demand for Nexus devices has gone up
#2 People who were waiting on the next Nexus to switch to Prepaid were disappointed with the N4. I am one of those. It is a decent upgrade, but honestly not a big enough one. The loss of OTG, MHL, the camera that isn't much better then the Gnex (biggest downer in my book), the all glass back, LG's lackluster quality throughout time, no official AOSP support yet.... The list goes on.
For a lot of us the Galaxy Nexus is still the best Nexus device out currently

really good deal.. $200
I bought my Galaxy Nexus over 600€...
Good deal, but isn't that locked to Sprint network though? You'll end up paying more with their ridiculous contracts.
One of the main reasons I'm returning my new Sprint Gnex and buying a more expensive unlocked GSM and make the switch to Tmobile $30 prepaid plan. It's cheaper in the long run for sure and I won't be tied to a contract. Just my thoughts, of course.
im about to pick this phone up for £150. good deal? its to replace my galaxy s1 sl as the battery has become bloated and ruined ... plus i collects androids for flashing fun lol android are like my pokemon, lmao
so far
2 budget chinese ripoffs (lol)
a brilliant acer iconia a500
htc hero gsm
galaxy nexus 7
galaxy ace
galaxy s1
galaxy mini
and soon to add galaxy nexus
I just bought a gsm GNexus last week for $201 on eBay. Its in great condition and love it so far. Is it worth getting it this late into its life?
