Is the galaxy nexus an over-all better device than the one s? Need to know so I can make up my mind over which to buy!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I think it is, if you like roms then the galaxy nexus will always have better development. I love the nexus I have had lots of high end phones and this is my favorite. I like the on screen buttons and how you can change them and the color. Good luck

Get the nexus. One S is garbage I played with it at the T-Mobile store by my housrle and was not impressed one bit... screen was disappointing. Sense 4 was disappointing... pretty much everything about it was sad. My old sensation was better than it in every way I could think of and my gnex is better than my sensation in every way so make the wise decision and get the nexus

So biased. The One S is a great device. It is snappier than the galaxy nexus even with sense 4, which isn't even that bad.

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
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
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.

I would rather use both the phones and buy the one which I feel like buying.

Don't get me wrong because I have a Galaxy nexus and I absolutely love it to death. I actually own all three of them and all are in mint condition. I have to say that the Nexus 1 is still better looking than the other two. It never functioned perfectly but I like to think of them as Super cars. They are pure in form but always have something wrong with them. The buttons on the Nexus one make me crazy. I sometimes have to push them multiple times to get them to work. The Nexus S looks all sexy and black but it crashes a lot and sometimes the screen does some very odd stuff. I have actually seen it sit cocked a quarter turn. The Galaxy Nexus is a great looking phone and mine so far has restarted itself, doesn't like my router, and drops volume yet I don't care its amazing. And I think its crap that Verizon is messing with the google pure experience that makes my gsm unlocked worth the $750 that I paid for it.

Thats a given that the n1 would be slower than the ns and that slower than the GN.
Yeah I also owned all three (don't have the nexus one anymore) and I think that the nexus one was the best built phone.
It felt good when holding it and the design was nice. It's was the perfect size except for the screen size ofcourse.
If I had to put them in order of "likeness" it would be
- Nexus One
- Galaxy Nexus
- Nexus S

I agree the N1 was so far ahead of anything else out as well.
Aside from the metal build of n1 and micro sd think the galaxy nexus trumps all aspects of both phones. The lack of micro SD is a big bummer.

I have only ever owned the latest out of the Nexus phones, so I can't say anything as far as performance or build quality is considered.
But in terms of industrial design, I think it goes Galaxy Nexus > Nexus S > Nexus One from best to worst looking.
I think the Galaxy Nexus is very mature and classy looking, one reason I decided to move from SGS2 to the SGN. The Nexus S looked okay but somehow looked like a bastardized Galaxy S phone. I thought the Nexus One looked really funky with the mismatched paintjob and overly rounded corners.
I have to say the Nexus One is probably the best built of them all though, I'm pretty unhappy with the rear cover on the SGN - I was happy with the rear cover on the SGS2 because even thought it feels cheap it actually wasn't... the SGN flexes in the center of the rear cover, and the Google logo on the back isn't entirely flush which makes it kind of weird to hold if your finger is rubbing on the logo.

HTC build > Samsung build
My Nexus One had poor radio performance and couldn't get a signal in my office.
I couldn't press directly on the capacitive buttons, I had to touch slightly above them for them to work.
I have no idea why, but it is still my favorite phone.
Just recently sold it to help pay for the new Nexus
Must say the nexus s is nicer to hold but that's probably due to the size difference between them I've owned lots of large phones desire HD and the sgs 2 and the galaxy nexus to me falls on the borderline of acceptable size ...still love it tho just harder to use single handed.
Must say I do miss my HTC legend and swype sometimes was a dream to text on

You are going to LOVE IT just like I do. I traded the same phone you did for a Gnex. I strongly suggest trying out CM9 and Franco, because they make the phone so buttery smooth. 520 is a great price, and if you like to tinker with your phones, you chose the right one.
Oh man I can't wait. My sensation 4g feels laggy when running ics. So Franco and cm9 is the best rom out for Gnex? What about rev HD?

No, I meant buying the GN first and then asking XDA about "Also what can I expect from this device?". This struck me as a little weird.
When I have to dish out €500+ for a device, I tend to inform myself pretty well beforehand. ;-)

AFAIK, RevoHD isn't built from AOSP. I also believe it is still only 4.0.2. If I had to recommend a combo, i'd say AOKP/Franco.kernel.

I'm currently obsessed about Galaxy Nexus Cases. I currently located in Hong Kong so there are plenty of selections than US. I kind of regret buying a Galaxy Nexus instead of keeping my iPhone 4S (Sold all of them to mainland China). There are just way too many iPhone 4S cases than Galaxy Nexus. However, there are still some reputable brands and beautiful design for HSPA+ version such as SPG Case. It's the best I've seen so far. DO NOT BUY ALUMINUM cases as that is very hard to take off and blocks the NFC at the back of your phone.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/google.html
I currently have the follow cases:
- SGP Neo Hybrid Red and Silver
Cheaper but still elegant, does not cover buttons
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5JgWcia8GQ
- Mercury Red and Yellow
Cheap ones:
- Dark transparent gel
- White transparent gel
I love changing cases every now and then!

The SGP Neo Hybrid is cool for a fully protective case. I myself have the Qubits snap-on case, similar to the Incipio Feather and Case-Mate Barely There. I love it, but it doesn't protect as much as most other cases.
the only reason i am using the nexus is for the 4g service. once apple release a 4g phone, im jumping ship. for 3 years now, i found not much of advantage over iphone.
I just started using Franco's kernel today and it seems the kernel that came with akop was overall better.
long story short.
Coming from an iPhone 4s, two week ago I decided to come back to Android which I really miss.

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

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 gs3 battery is significantly better due to the screen being nowhere near as bright and it also has the larger battery. If screen brightness is important to u ie outdoor visibility, stick with the x. The us version gs3 is leaps and bounds better than the one x BC of that extra GB of ram.

An example of this is the new att update for the one x that contains a new bootloader, which is further complicating development over there.
Also my one x in particular would lose radio signal fairly frequently, and im not the only one with that issue. Drove me nuts.

It's being developed as we speak.

The bootloader and the s-off is really a pain in the @$$. And another thing that annoys me is the signal keeps on dropping on me.

Also, the camera is better on the s3 in my opinion, however the software on the one x seems to be better and easier to use.

What do you mean by software? Like sense and touchwiz.?

He means camera software. It has a dedicated imaging chip called ImageSense and can do real time photo manipulation and such. I still don't like One X photos because they're too saturated. GS3 photos are more realistic looking (funny how it's the opposite of their screens!).

Hey everyone I currently have HTC one x. I'm thinking of switching to s3 before doing so I have some questions to ask.
1) how's the performance of the s3 compared to your one x?
2) does the battery last for a day with heavy usage?
3)The camera is amazing on one x. Just wondering if it's the same for the s3
Have a great day everyone

The phone i had right before this was the rogers one x... simultaneously owned both for about three days as well swapped back and forth and stuck with the s3.
1) Much much much better on the siii, touchwiz seems to be a lot lighter than sense. I barely ever get lag on the siii vs the regular homescreen /launcher lag i used to get on the one x. Htc might have toned sense down in ics, but its still lags like a ***** compared when compared to other phones like galaxy nexus and the siii.
2) definitely, i find that the battery is on par with my one x (i had the rogers dual core version btw)
3) i find that the cameras on both devices are about equal in terms of quality. The one x has the edge in the better camera software though.
one major thing that sold me to the siii surprisingly were the ergonomics. i know a lot of people say the s iii looks cheap and whatnot compared to the one x but how the siii feels in hand is AMAZING, like the phone has such a large screen yet feels so small in hand. It is so much more comfortable to hold than the one x, the one x is thicker and feels more blocky thus it feels much larger in hand than the siii.
The one x has the edge on actual quality with its polycarbonate, but imo to me the ergonomics of the siii really won my heart. seriously if you havent had the time to see one, hold both the one x and the siii and youll notice how much easier the siii is to handle, while with the one x i had to stumble a lot to handle the device.

are there any issue with the s3? software wise. Please be honest! =)

I can only speak for myself, but after a month of use, I haven't had a single hiccup with the S3. No FCs, no reboots, nothing. Battery life is fantastic. I've also got the One X and I think they're both great phones. I do like the louder speaker on the S3 better and, for some reason, the camera is much better for me than the One X. I wish I could figure out what I'm doing wrong on the One X camera because I just can't get shots nearly as good as the ones I take with the S3.
But yeah, this is one solid phone. I'm extremely happy with it. :good:
I was referring to ImageSense actually. The refinements made by HTC to the stock android camera layout/software.

Ditto to everything you listed... especially the ergonomics. The SIII simply feels so much smaller than the screen size would make you think it would feel. I can easily access the whole screen one handed with my thumb.
