Personally I think the camera is pretty good. Go take a look at the thread where people are posting their pictures, I think it's in the General section. There are some amazing shots in there.
Personally I would not be able to keep this phone for more than a year.... coz the next Nexus will be out by then to tempt me.
As I only wanted to buy a nexus (fast upgrades & great developer support) this was my only option. Else the HTC One X is a brilliant phone and I would even have waited for the SGS3.
Need to decide your priorities:
Timely updates, developer support, Custom ROMs, decent camera vs Quad core, fancy Cameras, update delays
not that great. 2 yrs from now? most likely switching to iphone.

ure kidding right?
2 years from now? The phones already 6 months old so I'd say at most I have another 18 months with this, although I'm sure I'll end up buying the next Nexus .
Thing is, Nexus owners are often going to be either jumping phones often (or having multiple devices) or just upgrading every 12 months to the new Nexus. Pretty predictable cycle.

By the time July rolls around, we're gonna have completely different devices on the horizon. Crazy enough we'll be looking towards Jellybean and the next Nexus device. Sure the GNex will be great and could be had for a solid price by that time, but I think its too early to make that call on ANY device this far out.

Could use for 2 years if pressed to but I'm likely just going to wait until next Nexus gets released then wait for the price to drop and become stable (retail only here since carrier price is basically retail price + slight discount on their month-to-month that you need to pay 5 months in advance).
So what I'm saying is that I agree with martonikaj BUT you could probably use this for 2 years. Plenty of people still using a droid1/milestone1 right now in fact

This is pretty much where I'm at. I got this Nexus the week it dropped, had it pre-ordered to come to me from the UK... and I have been extremely happy with it. I'm not in a rush to jump ship, so I will wait to see what the next Nexus is like and then jump on it a little bit after it's released. I don't think I want to go back to a non-Nexus device now that I've had a taste.
I've also only recently flashed my first custom ROM on the phone, so I've got plenty of room to explore the options that owning a device with so many developers work on provides.

You and I should high five or something.
The Motorola Milestone was a hilariously difficult phone for my first taste of Android and now that my 2nd happens to be a Nexus device, I don't want to go anywhere near those Milestone days again . Other than the QWERTY slider part, I still love that part.
i love my gnex! i had an x10 mini pro before and this is soo much better! even without the slider keyboard! i have not regretted choosing it for one moment.
Compared to my old Galaxy S (which was laggy as hell!) the nexus is heaven. Almost everything runs fluid and I've got more updates in 2 months after buying this phone than in 2 years with the galaxy S.

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.

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.

Motorola Nexus is the only thing that interests me. If not, Samsung still has my money for the next Nexus.

More Nexus devices the stronger the code will get, no hacking in some hardware keyboard, for a possible slide out phone.(bad refrence I know but you see what I am saying)
If the people that get confused when shopping, that's not the type of people you want to buy the product.
A nexus as slim as the razor maxx with that huge battery and vanilla android...doesn't get any better
well yeah i dont see where the bad part is, you see looks, specs, brands and grab the one u like the most
The bad part is dividing the devs/community across multiple devices and thus making users lose half of the point of having a nexus (the other half being updates, vanilla...)
Please not LG, please not LG...
Im thinking a Kyrocera Nexus
I know it's spelt wrong but I don't think that phone brand is worth my time in figuring out the correct way to spell it.
Jellin' like a felon
I'm thinking the CPU/GPU will be the same, the design/screen will be the differentiating factor between the nexii. That is if there is more then one released.

Even though I've never used an S3, they are so wildly popular that you are bound to see good ROM support for many months to come. I feel this is what plagues the DINC2, since so many have become fed up with HTC (& Verizon) and moved on to other phones. The remaining devs do great work though!:highfive:
I've been using a Verizon Galaxy S3 (Verizon is dual core vs everyone else getting a quad core) as my work phone. Running an AOSP rom I'm very happy with it. My sister just upgraded from an iPhone 4 and LOVES her new stock Sprint GS3.
Personally I'm tired of being a flashaholic and just ordered a Lumia 822 Windows phone to replace the Incredible. I wasn't looking to shell out cash for a new phone and it's got the same processor as the VZ GS3. I figure I run Windows at home, own an Xbox, and support Windows at work so an iPhone was out.
I've got till june for my update. I think I might be one of the very last of the inc2 users by then.
I'm probably the only person that went from a Dinc 2 to an SGS3 back to a Dinc 2.
I liked the SGS3. The ROMS are pretty good although AOSP roms were lacking a bit back when I used them. I was kind of forced to sell my SGS3 as I needed to pay off some expenses so I went back to the Dinc 2.
Looking back, I don't really miss the SGS3 that much. Sure, in pretty much every way it's a better phone and LTE is nice. I did get adjusted to the 4.7in screen and the overall size of the device, but I really do like the Dinc 2 form factor a lot better.
Whatever my next phone is, I'll try to talk myself out of getting something the size of the SGS3. I really hope a new 4.3in phone, or something around that, comes out on Verizon. There's the HTC M4, but I wonder if it will ever see the light of day on Verizon. I wish Verizon would sell the flagship HTC phones and not altered models.
I'll probably use the Dinc 2 until it breaks or I can't get a hold of a good looking stable rom. I'm going to stick with flagship phones from now on though.

This has been my concern as well, especially with the newer smartphones. I kinda like the pocket-size of the dinc2. Seems like everything is getting bigger instead of focusing on the real need. BATTERY LIFE.
I bought my galaxy nexus a year ago, and I used the stock rom for a long time.
I always tought it was a good idea to be the firt to get google updates....
Since 2013 I started to flash custom roms on my device (i tried a lot of them), and I liked much more than the stock rom.
Whats the point of having a nexus phone, if im already using custom roms?
I wont get update by google anyway.
I want to buy a new phone, and prefer samsung quality over LG, so I was thinking to buy a galaxy S3 (here in Brazil is cheaper too).
there is any reason not to buy GS3 over N4? (using custom rom)
a friend of mine told me that custom roms run much better on nexus devices because they are open source and have less bugs.
is it true?
Nexus phones are made to be easily unlocked with with a simple command.

plus, with those custom roms, since you have a nexus it will be the first or among the first to get the newest updates to android or hell at least the most stable before any of the OEM versions or the ports that follow or lead up to them. Basically, nexus=first dibs to new stuff (from google anyway, as long as the device supports it)

Something else to consider is updates to the proprietary files and other fun stuff that isn't open sourced. Nexus devices have these things update pretty regularly, and with the new OS build. Others...well of course they lag a bit behind the Nexus line, and as such may not see an update for a month or more in most cases.

Don't agree... If one has an S3, no point upgrading to S4.. Now if you don't have an S3 already.. Just skip it and get s4. Actually, I realized I don't care about any phone if its not a Nexus.

I can get the S4 for $99 if I trade in my Gnex. Here's the catch: I have to sign a two year contract.
No thank you.

i prefer my GNex over and Galaxy S3S/4 any day. i work on Galaxy S's almost every day and while unlocking/rooting/flashing them is literally a < 5 minute process they just feel too large and clunky to play with. big screen is ok, hardware is good, but my GNex just feels more responsive and clean and having support for all of the latest Android updates first in line is a bonus. Nexus 4 is ok too but it reminds me of holding an iPhone too much and i don't like the feel of the device. just an opinion

No more updates from Samsung for our Note 2. Yes I am rooted yes I know how to flash roms been doing it for years. It's just really getting on my nerves how this phone is still a beast and it's pretty much abandoned by Samsung on purpose to herd us to a new phone.
I didn't do a nexus because I was with sprint at the time but since I am gsm now all I need is a nexus with a 5 inch screen.
Sorry about the rant, but it got to me today while lurking the note 2 forums.
Where did you see that? I thought the update was going straight to 4.3 and dropping late this year?

Hope you are right, my hopes are not really that high. Guess it will be all good when I actually see the update.
Samsung sent updates or for GSII earlier this year even as the GS4 was coming out. I see no reason to fret over loss of support at this point. We should be Ok. The limiting factor frankly is T-Mobile...
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
I think maybe one more major update, then 1 or 2 security updates.

Isn't that Samsung's standard mo. I had a behold 2, then a vibrant, same update empty promises. If you want current software get a nexus. I vowed never to buy another non nexus android ever, until I picked up this note 2. I bought this phone knowing that it would never get an update. It's in Samsung's best interest to sell new phones, not update old ones

I'd be willing to bet the Note 2 gets at least android 4.4. Eventually.

Once the Note 3 drops then it will get updated,I mean hell the s2 got Jellybean but it is frustrating waiting though
According to sammobile back in March it was supposed to get 5.0 as we thought it would be called that at the time.
I doubt they would change that but who knows.

No offense but why are you saying stuff like this with no sources? It's just ridiculous... I could understand this a few years ago but not these days. Like another said, it all falls on tmobile and their addition of bloatware, testing, and then its release. And you won't see a major update until the Note 3's drops.
No US Touchwiz phone has been updated beyond 4.1.2 yet.

Great point, I didn't think of it like that. This phone is such a beast it would be a shame if it gets forgotten.

Nah...didn't the S2 just finally get Jellybean a few months back. They may put them on a back burner while they put their efforts into big projects like the Note 3 and Android 4.4 but they come back to these other phones after those releases. Technology is moving so fast they must be scrambling to keep up.
Android 4.3 coming to Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4 in October, no word on Note 2.
I guess we'll wait a little longer...
Have you seen the Unpack event for Note 3 today?

Pranav mistry mentioned that an update is coming in October for GS3 and Note2 for Galaxy Gear. Hopefully it will be 4.3
They did indeed say October however I will believe it when I get it. I have a feeling there will be a while a whole bunch of shenanigans with "delays".
October for the international right? Dont then the carriers gotta get their hands on it?? And kit kat is right around the corner? Love this phone but I can't be 2 android version behind..thats 2 years.. google edition note 3 would be nice or im waiting to see what the nexus 5 has in store..

Yup... Very true. But at least when Sammy does release an update... We can be sure ptmr3 (and others) will do a JediX version. The only thing we'll be missing until T-Mobile drops theirs is the WiFi calling. Still with the press releases today... Everything is very exciting lol!
Did everyone see the back? Looks like a leatherish material which means nice grip. That's awesome news alone

Dude be patient! We'll all be very happy soon enough whether people jump to the Note 3 or those who keep their 2 for a while. Updates will come sooner than you think since the 3 will be released. We'll have a international ROM first then us carrier's a couple months later. Good things with happen! Be cool people! Lol

Common sense tells me if the S3 is getting it... We'll be getting it around the same time. I doubt Sammy's promoting it due to the Note 3's close launch. Yeah its rather sneaky but it makes sense, right? Good find though!
