So what's everyone's thoughts on the One x and subsequent variants in comparison to the GN? Specifically Evo lte vs sprint GN.
Of course software and development will kill compared to the evo, but is the hardware improvements enough to overcome that?
Sure want to stay in the nexus family from my crespo4g, but that S4 chip is looking mighty fine.
I can not see my self ever getting anything other than the a Nexus ... I'll likely buy a new one every year. Right now I don't see any other phone that makes me want to stray from my decision.
I am finally done looking for the best device.
Now I know the Nexus is the Android for me.

I'm with the Nexus from now on...
I'm with the Nexus from now on. I came from a long list of carrier branded phones and the lack of bloatware and other junk the carriers heap on you was refreshing on the Nexus. Updates direct from Google as soon as available, not after the carrier spends 6 months adding junk. Also, since this is a "developers" phone, the Nexus community is very active and brings more flexibility.
GN all the way if your a flashing zombie no phone will get the dev that a nexus will. Unlocked boot loaders -huge plus-, look at the evo 3d old phone same specs as our new GN. We've almost caught Dev.

+1 for Nexus phones! Couldn't go back to a non-Nexus even though the specs may be better. Firmware > hardware, imo.

Getting galaxy nexus in 10 days, I can't wait for my first nexus device
Personal opinion
I got my nexus 2 months ago. I can tell that I am happy with it specwise, but I am not happy with the updates (yakjuxw, no 4.0.4 yet). From the performance point of view, HTC One X and S beat the SGS3, but all the custom skins make me not want to buy one and for the moment there are no applications that require 4 cores. I acquired the nexus just for vanilla and for not rooting it (my old htc hero was rooted and I tried all the available custom roms on it). So, as a conclusion, I am 90% happy with the Gnex as long as I can play Fifa 2012 and watch sopcast streams on it.
I went for the Gnex over the evo... I don't see any benefit other than the faster processor but much more limited development, a non-removeable battery, and its not a nexus . I get my gnex tomorrow I ordered it today =]

THANK YOU kennyglass123
I was tired of the crazy amount of non-nexus threads cluttering up the Galaxy Nexus forum
So any new "What about the SGS III?" or "Who's changing to the One X?" type threads that pop up outside of this one we should flag so you can lock that particular thread right?
This is how I personally decided to choose between the new S3 and Nexus, the S3 has;
-microSD
-better camera (8v5)
-bigger battery (2100 vs 1750, although latter has extended battery)
-slightly larger screen (4.8 v 4.65)
-faster cpu and gpu
-(eventually it will get CM9 and AOPK as well)
Nexus
-curved body, less ugly (opinion)
-better softwares (stock + updates)
-pentaband
-$340 cheaper (S3 16gb released price $739 VAT included vs Nexus $400, used low as $350)
-(USB OTG can alleviate the needs for microSD)
So choosing between the two weights on whether I want to pay the $340 difference for the hardware improvement, my decision is no. I can live with lower megapixels, 4.65" is fine, S3 hardware is faster but practically Nexus can do all the tasks. So I ended up ordering the Nexus. However, I'm waiting to see how much the S3 prices drop by Christmas. I predict since its a part of a popular flagship series and quadcore is still new, the price won't drop as fast as the Nexus did, which nearly half its price in 6 months. I will more likely wait for the next Nexus device if its announced by then.
I had an evo4g and that development was amazing... from cm7 and to myns to mik, etc it was great and amazing device that actually pull me from iphone... I will never forget my og evo but seems the circumstances with lock boot loader ans s on is a gamble so I'll stick secure with my nexus I got the nexus just 2 weeks ago and coming from an iphone I'm so much happy.. the ICS experience aosp is the beat IMO sure htc makes something look nice for some people but now I think aosp look so much better IMO I will definwtwly get an evo late just to play with it tho because I can't really judge till I have it reall

Nah, some of us are special
IMO, at the moment, none of the competing handsets are that much better than the Nexus to warrant changing but if you were due an upgrade, the likes of the One X or the Galaxy S3 have got to be worthy of consideration.
And the idea that you choose your handset based on firmware strikes me as rather odd. That's pretty much the antithesis of the purpose of XDA, which is that your handset is never limited to the firmware it ships with.
You buy a handset based on the hardware then make the firmware fit your needs.
Should I?
Thanks!

Do you want a SGSIII?

- If no, keep your Galaxy Nexus.
Why do people constantly open threads like these. Why are you going to base your decision in someone else opinion?
My opinion....doesn't matter! Hell buy an iPhone for all I care.

No.
Simba was moving too slow, so I told him to Mufasa.
Funny cause I just got an S3 for my wife about an hour ago. I haven't really played with it that much beside installing some of her apps. Me personally, I wouldn't be able to switch. There are some really neat features and the 2 gigs of ram is very nice but for me the nexus with jelly bean is still the better device.

The gs3 is an awesome phone no doubt. I won't be buying another non Nexus device for myself though. The Nexus line is exactly what I want in a phone... An awesome development community for bleeding edge features that non Nexus phones won't see for many many months.

Completely agree with this. Ive had an iPhone 4 for a year and before that an HTC Evo 4G. I grew tired of the iPhone so I decided to take a chance with this Nexus. I've got to honestly say as long as this device stays in working condition for the next few yrs, I won't buy another phone until they stop sending OTA updates to this phone. Which might not be for a loong time considering I bought this straight from Google.

totally worth it. do it.
Why you downgrade to an SGS 3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Overall the S3 is underwhelming. AOKP running on both devices, the Nexus perform just the same. The S3 is faster in some tasks like installing apps and gaming, but for the most part its not a noticeable difference. And the Nexus have more up to date software and roms. I like the feel of the Nexus more, the S3 feel very flimsy.
I'm in a dilemma about which device I should sell, I can store more stuff with the S3 and take nicer photos, but for almost anything else I prefer the Nexus.
I do know for a fact that the T-Mobile of version of S3 will probably get Jelly Bean as its last official update, while the Nexus will get plenty more updates from Google in the future.
Also S3 factory firmware is unusable for me, very bloated and slow, I guess once you're spoiled by stock Android everything else feel slow.
Yes, then sell the gs3, buy a new nexus, and pocket the difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Why didn't I thought of that?
Yes! Sell it for $450-500, then buy the Play Store GNex for $350. Pocket the difference

Pocketing the difference feels great.
traded my iPhone 4 32GB + $100 for a 4S back in January off craigslist. The dude couldn't wait for jailbreak any longer and valued a bit more cash.
Flipped my iPhone 4S (that I got an AT&T sanctioned unlock for as soon as they started doing that) three days after playing with my GNex for $550.
Pocketed $170. Almost enough to cover iPhone "5" since I'm eligible for an upgrade. Might do that and flip it for Nexus 2 when the time comes.
Either way, in a great spot and happier than I could imagine with my Jelly device

Hello, i am an xdanoob. I have been an iphone user for the last 2 years and i feel the time to upgrade and switch to android has finally come, i have always liked to tweak my stuff to get the most out of it ( i build my own PCs etc ) and i am tired of IOS lack of customization. I have read a whole lot on this forum and have narrowed my search to 2 phones, the GNEX and galaxy s3, other stuff like HTC etc is impossible to find in my country ( Argentina ) and even the gnex isn't sold officialy, so you have to get it via import. I also want to buy my cell phone unlocked since i don't want bloatware and carriers here take ages to update OS if they ever update it at all and they don't even sell the gnex...between the 2 phones i like the gnex most ( updates directly from google, no overlap UI, huge dev comunity etc ) and i have tried the s3 in stores and i just don't like how it feels. My only concern with the gnex is that it feels that im buying an outdated phone now that the quadcore era is approaching. Since i am spending big bucks on either phone ( no google play store here nor used at a reasonable price etc ) it will have to last at least 2 years. Should i buy the gnex now or wait till the new nexus and find a way to get my hands on one ( some1 travelling to the US, robbing a bank etc ) for reference unlocked phones here cost roughly 200% of US retail price, for ex: best price i found for a new sealed GNEX right now was 750 dollars.
I know all the info is already out there but i really need advice on this specific situation. Sry for my english and thanks in advance.
EDIT: i finally got it! it arrived today, love it.
another one of these threads and I may vomit
^ ^
Go ahead. I have read all the related threads and the general consensus seems to be: if you can get one really cheap buy one, otherwise wait for the next-gen nexus. <---- since this is not an option available to me i have started a new thread for my ( and i guess everyone living in this region ) specific issue.
But thanks for posting anyway.

Really? This is how we welcome new members? Not exactly a good way to keep a forum going.
To the OP: I think the current Nexus has great development and will continue to even after the next Nexus comes along (whenever that may be). I prefer a non-bloated, "clean slate" device as well, and the Nexus seems to deliver on that experience better than the S3 IMO.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus on Verizon Wireless
Wait to see what the next Nexus will bring.
This will also lower the prices of the present Nexus by then.
Definitely do not buy one brand new right now. Just wait to see what the specs of the new one will be.
Use your IOS, you won't die if you keep using it for the next 1 ~ 2 months. =)

I agree with everything in the quote post. Welcome to xda. I had a nexus on vzw and switched to sprint. Got an evo 4g lte and selling it to go back to the gnex. I would agree that there will be deving for a long time on it just look at the older nexus phones and they all still have quite a bit of deving for them. No bloat and constant updates available by google means a smooth running phone and the best experience even stock.

You can get great deals on the gnex now. Wait if you want the latest and greatest, but you'll pay over twice as much. The gnex is a great phone, and there are already great roms and mods. A new nexus will take some time before developers have roms and mods. Just some things to consider.

I say: buy. It's such a nice device with A LOT of customization. In my honest opinion it is truly the most beautiful smartphone atm.
When you have an LG device or Samsung or any other than Galaxy Nexus series you will kinda get dissapointed when new devices come out, becuase of better specs, you know. Also it will take longer for software updates.
This is nice about the Nexus. When new devices come out you don't have to worry about your software walking behind, becuase you know you're always the first guy getting new software. And in that case hardware won't matter, at least not to me.
Hope this helped
I just got mine a couple weeks ago from Newegg , got the DOCOMO version unlocked. I first had it on Simple Mobile and would have said wait cause the phone sucks but after switching to AT&T go the phone works perfect and awesome signal and speeds. I'm happy as hell with this phone and development. I have never liked I phone or there software just me though lol feel there made for old people and people who do not know or care about customizing there phone. I also agree with most here about a asop experience. I have had a lot of android phones , HTC, Samsung and etc. And this is my first carrier unlocked and pure Google phone and I have to say I don't think I could ever own a non Google android phone again lol. For the $349 price on Google to me you can't beat this phone right now.

In order to get everything to work correctly on cm10, the devs need to "blindly" port over cm10 as the S3's stock os is not open source. Some files also are from the stock ROM and not cm/aosp so they will not work as well as the aosp ones from the gnex. There will always be bugs with the s3 cm, always.

I just purchased a Nexus from the Play Store yesterday and on the first of October I am getting a Red GS3 from AT&T just because that Red color looks so good and a 148.00 price tag from Sam's Club is not all that bad,as for the contract that is meaningless because I have been with AT&T long before the Cingular days long ago and do not plan on going to any other provider because contrary to popular belief AT&T has been a good fit for me and my wife!!! Had a HTC Vivid and all I can say is man what a crap phone!
WOW thanks for all the replies guys. i have decided to buy the gnex, i cant go wrong with a a nexus device after all hehe.
I am looking forward to learn a lot from xda

If I was you I would switch to the Nexus.
The S3 is a great phone but it is very similar to the Nexus and the Nexus is going to be cheaper. Personally I like the look of the Nexus a little better too but that's just my personal preference. Also, I would be willing to bet that the Nexus will have dev support way longer than the S3 (even though the S3 came out several moths after the Nexus).
I would either go with the gn or wait for the new one.

Are you buying the Play store version (GSM Unlocked? for $349? If so, I'd say go ahead and get it now. If you're upgrading on your phone plan then I'd wait a month to see what the next Nexus devices may bring to the table.
This phone most definitely will be getting the next android version and the dev support is fantastic. The hardware is still very very good for being nearly 1 year old now - it still competes with the currently release high-end devices.
as of today go for nexus... until s3 get JB then you can compare it and decide which one you want
You're asking this question at the wrong place. Of course everyone here's answer is going to be "Galaxy Nexus".
If you want an un-biased answer, go to a neutral forum. Or a different forum entirely, like a gaming forum or something. You may get realistic answers.
With that said, go with the Nexus. I had iPhone for 5 months. I felt like I had a phone that could only do calls and texts. Nothing like the machines that are Android.
I knew I would get an answer like that eventually. I've asked on multiple forums on multiple sites the verdict has primarily been go with the Nexus. Which I did btw, I just wanted to hear it from the horse's mouth before I did. Thank you though

Welcome! Tell all of your iPhone having friends about how awesome it is. The more people we "convert" - the less people use iPhones - and maybe apple will start actually putting useful updates in iOS instead of trying to hammer away at Android. Enjoy the Nexus man.

are you a tinkerer? coming from an iphone, android os is going to be a challenge in and of itself. rooting and flashing roms is whole other challenge. if you are pretty set on rooting and having all the bells and whistles afforded by mods and roms, then get the galaxy nexus. the dev support is second to none. if you are wanting to just run stock, then get the S3.
i got my wife an S3. i have phone envy. the S3 is a NICE phone. let me rephrase that, the S3 is a REALLY NICE phone. she didn't want it rooted and i didn't want to have to mess w/ her phone since i rooted the her last 2 phones and it got to be a pain upkeeping her phone with latest roms and updates. the S3 stock unrooted running Nova launcher kicks all kinds of butt. yes she gives up a few perks from not being rooted, but the S3 is a perfectly fine phone stock.
since i like running stock rooted roms, i would gladly take an S3 over a galaxy nexus. screen, radio, processor and battery life are better than the nexus. nothing against the nexus. the S3 is just a better phone. and being it was release about 7 months after the nexus, i would expect no less. and hopefully the nexus to be released in 4Q will be nicer than the S3.
tl;dr version. if you are hell bent on rooting and running custom roms, get the nexus. if just running stock or even just a stock rooted rom, get the S3.

In our house we just switched from Sprint to T-Mobile. Not wanting to be trapped into another 2 year deal, we bought the GS2 (I know you said 3) and a Galaxy Nexus. The GS2 was $299 and the GN was $349, so pretty comparable. The GN is awesome, but the GS2 camera seems to be far superior, so I would guess the GS3 is equal or better. However, software wise, nothing will beat a Nexus device. You won't go wrong with either phone, but if price and software are important to you, do yourself a favor and get the Nexus. If price is no object and you don't really care about OS updates, then the GS3 might be a better route.

Yessir I am, and you read my mind. I've been wanting that N2 bad, but I keep talking myself out of buying it now since I can get an upgrade in Sep. I have been keeping an eye on Craigslist though. I'm hoping by then I can get the N3, fingers crossed for 6" 1080 and a gargantuan battery.

Every time I get a new phone the old one goes to my dad (who I have got hooked to flashing) and then his goes to my wee bro.

Nice.:good: The circle of Android life. lol
All my family just got that new Apple so I guess I'm gonna keep my gnex, I don't think i can bring myself to sell it.
And before anybody scoffs at me.. There was no way I was gonna be tech support for my parents and siblings for the next couple years, they just have to be happy with their walled garden.
Do you feel you are going to miss the quick updates?

Not really, I have never received an ota, I've been flashing since the nexus s first came out, I'll get a new phone at the end of this year so hopefully there is another decent nexus by then. The only I'm anxious about is ROMs getting the bravia engine working and stuff like that.
