So there i was cleaning my room -.-' and as i was cleaning i found my old nexus one. It was dead, so I plugged it in.
When i turned the device on, a lot of memories came to mind, as the progress google has made.
But then as i was looking trough it i noticed that it felt kind of fast for it to be a 3 years old. So I put my Gnex running jellybean next to it.
To my surprise every action was faster on the Nexus One? Odd but yeah. Openning Applications like the clock, calendar, browser, settings.
How come a three year old device is faster than the galaxy nexus, i know the gnex has a lot more things to process as well as the size of the screen, but common really? I guess im going to use it as an mp3 player now.
Screen resolution I would guess, gnex is pushing out android in HD 720p and nexus one is what 800x600 perhaps roughly. Also older versions of android I expect are much less complex than jelly bean. The only fair way to test is do a test of stock JB on each device and see which fares better then, but still you have to take into concideration just how many more pixels gnex is pushing out. Cool story though :thumbup:

You could never damage your brain from THC. Just sayin.
I have both too. If you run stock on both (gingerbread vs jelly bean), there is certainly no way the gnex is slower...
For one, the touch response on n1 was pretty bad... its not slow, but to say its faster than gnex is a bit odd.

My N1 is sitting in it's cradle on my kitchen bar and has become an e-mail alert system--I can see the flashing track ball from most points in my main living area when an e-mail comes in.
One place the Galaxy Nexus really excels over the Nexus One is as a music player. I was never impressed with the sound quality of the N1. And with low impedance headphones, there is a periodic thumping sound/artifact, about one thump per second. The Galaxy Nexus, on the other hand, has some of the best sound quality I've heard on a portable music player--at least as good or better than my iPod Classic 120GB.
That brings up one thing the N1 had that I really miss--a microSD card slot. I wish the GN had a modern microSD slot--I'd love to have a 64GB SDXC microSD card in it. I get around this by mounting a flash drive via USB OTG that contains my music collection, but it's definitely not ideal.

We are always going to be behind with software. This is the Google's and Manufacturer's fault. I have the Galaxy Nexus in my hand today and I had the GS2 for 2 months already there is nothing that Galaxy Nexus has that GS2 doesn't and we have to wait for this **** manufacturer's to release updates. The GS2 is faster and more conferable in hand.
If anyone has any questions ask me I'll try to answer.

I won't go as far as to say that the Galaxy S II is the better phone. I had a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and it was great other then a couple defects I ran into. The software on the Galaxy Nexus will most likely be better then what makes its way to the GSII and the notification led on the Nexus is the best one I have seen on any phone. The Galaxy S II has a way better camera and has been a lot more reliable.
Both are great phones. Its really hard to say which one is better.
I say your essentially buying the same phone twice. Besides ics and a few other differences they are basically the same phone.

I'm sure theirs been a long thread discussing this already. Everyone feels strongly opinionated and there is no true winner. They both have pros and cons. If I HAD to choose I would go with the Nexus hands down for the fact that its a nexus phone and development will be great. ICS seems amazing and the display as well.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
Oh man, you guys completely ignore the screen issue our GS2 has. If it was a good screen, had a exynos then it would be better than the nexus. International GS2 fits in that category.
Okay.. I own and love both phones and these types of threads are entirely subjective and flame prone. Holding a phone in your hand is NOT a valid explanation for why a phone is better than another. You need to have plenty of hands-on time to really know the pro's and con's of both. (And neither is immune to either.)

Man we buy the phones for $500 to $600 and we have to cry to get some software updates thats the thing. Google shouldn't relese the update till all the major manufacturers have their updates ready as well. If it goes like this we are going to get ICS end of the year, after original Galaxy s 2 i9100 gets it then we get it and that's the question if the carriers put thirty **** in there.

if you read on the i9250 forum, they too have the screen problem, and their screen is 720
other than ICS which we'll get, the only other difference is the Barometer sensor
otherwise the i9250 is actually under grade, they even got a major issue with the storage and MTP, and fake sdcard to make old Apps compatible, but even so, there are still Apps that are still not compatible

Ill take external SD support, 8mp cam over the galaxy nexus anyday. This whole the nexus is better crap is dumb all it has is ics and even ics isn't that amazing i used it on the sensation for two weeks and its really good. It adds plenty of things that are pleasant and well done now on android. The bad is apps still need to be updated but the sensation outclassed the galaxy nexus with ics as it is and once we get it this phone will be above the nexus. People buy a phone and always look for something to complain about the screen issue is annoying if you notice it but I'm hoping supercurio makes a fix for us. Either way my use isn't affected except for maybe 5% of the time and even then its just not pleasant to look at. There are a handful of phones that once they have ics will make the nexus look out dated galaxy s 2, amaze 4g, rezound, razr, etc.... development is just slowed from these phones being new and because developing gingerbread might be worthless if ics is here in a couple months.

I'm having that problem now currently with the SG2 haha. Second day with the phone (last phone was MT4G) and every other time when hitting the space bar I hit one of the "hard" buttons on the bottom. Slowly getting used to it though.
I will say - if the Nexus had an equal or better camera than the SG2, I would probably return this and get that instead, especially as there's supposed to be a white one coming out. But I use my phone's camera A LOT, and it's an important feature for me, so the Nexus is out right there. I don't know why they'd release a 'flagship' phone with semi out-of-date specs. With iphone 4, SG2, and many others coming out with 8 megapixels, why would Google only do 5?? Anyway...
notification led on galaxy nexus is really badass too, +1 for that

Lol, well the GS2 is a vast improvement over the myTouch 4G. (I loved that phone when it first came out too, lol.)
I think the Nexus camera has a lot of software issues. It is okay but i think it will get better as Google picks up the slack. Hell they paused the latest update for reasons unknown but people have reported much better stats all around with the leaked 4.0.3 that has been lurking around. I truly believe people make a bigger deal than what is necessary about both of these phones. Why try to argue one over the other? They are both great! As i said previously, both have pro's and con's but i think either or should be enough to satisfy the vast majority of users.

I stopped into the att store today and played around with the one x they had in there. Man it was beautiful in white and in grey. The fit and finish is amazing and the screen is gorgeous... looks a bit better than my GSM nexus and the look of the device was nicer as well. Too bad the rest of the experience let me down. I don't know if it was sense or what but it wasn't nearly as snappy. I know its got more muscle but it hangs in spots for some reason and browsing on it sucked! What's the point in all that beauty and horsepower when the function of the phone doesn't respond in kind? I'd love for the next nexus to be a bit more pretty in design but this thing just works. The major failure in android so far is that manufacturer customization so far has mostly detracted from the function of the phone compared to stock. The galaxy nexus, in GSM form at least is still the high bar other android phones need to measure against. I love this phone. For that, I don't think I'll have a real choice in the future between a nexus and any others. Unless a non nexus gets true stock android there will probably be something letting it down. I think the one x or others could be as good or better overall than this phone if they had just included some phone specific apps to differenciate and left everything else stock and unlocked.
Before anyone says to just put on cm or other aosp on those other devices, unless they are unlocked and have drivers available, they tend to have things missing or unstable when going stock android.

It hit me the other day that I've actually had this phone for almost half a year. It still feels brand new to me, and I marvel at how fresh it still feels with minimal maintenance.
My GS1, Desire HD, and Focus never quite ticked all the boxes, and I had to jump through hoops to get them to operate how I wanted then to. My one and only wish is for the next Nexus to be Note-sized (I pretty much only read books on my phone now). That's not happening, so I'm as pleased with the Nexus as I'll ever be with a phone.

There should be zero reason why you should get the Rezound unless you absolutely cannot live without HTC Sense and microSD slot. The Nexus is simply better in almost all aspects imo.
The Rezound uses the Qualcomm S3 cpu, its simply slower than the OMAP 4 of the Nexus. My Nexus could play HD MKV videos smoothly, while my previous T-Mobile SII (using the same S3) can't while overclocked to 1.8GHz, and everything else is smoother on the Nexus.

Are you serious? You'll never get sense 4 (officially), which is the only good sense version since 2.1. And beats? Sure you get ear buds, but you can pick those up anywhere. And as for the sound software, I can easily beat it using DSP Manager on my phone. If you're joking though, sorry for the mini rant.

I have a Nexus and my wife has the Rezound.
The Rezound is considerably slower and laggier in every area except the launcher and camera. Using the browsers between them is a night and day difference. Scrolling/zooming anywhere and even just pulling down the notification shade is pretty laggy compared to the Gnex.
The only slight pros it has over the Gnex is a slightly better display (it's extremely crisp and bright - the Rezound still has the highest PPI of any phone on the market) and reception seems to be a bit better than my Nexus. I haven't really had the signal issues you see a lot of people complain about, but the hand-offs on the Rezound between 4G to 3G and visa-versa are much faster. Sometimes I have to toggle LTE/mobile data to pick up 4G, even with the newest radios. Not a big deal though, I have a widget for it in my notification bar so it doesn't even take 2 seconds. (Edit) Oh, and the camera on the Rezound is a lot better of course too in terms of IQ. Nexus is just faster loading and taking pics since it has zero shutter lag.

I still want to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250, i'm fanscinated by its 4.6-inch, 720 x 1280 pixels Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
But i have several question.
is it having a nice battery time? Is the dual-core processor making everything run smoothly?
How about the auto-rotate feature?

Whether it's running you apps smoothly depends on what you will be running, but the processor is pretty good.
Battery time, about 3-4h screen on time, depends on how you are going to stretch it.
The battery time varies depending what you having running in the background (apps, widgets, etc) but for it gets me through a day no problem.
With the new version jellybean its very smooth. Im not sure how it is for 3d gaming because I don't play those.
And yes, it does auto rotate nicely.
I really like this phone, but with Google's big announcement upcoming with perhaps the announcements of the release of the new smartphone and phablet Nexus models, you might want to wait since there's nothing worse than buyer's remorse.

Probably if the Galaxy Nexus will get android 4.2 the battery life will be better, because it will have project roadrunner

Roadrunner is a cartoon, not a new Jelly Bean feature.

I have determined that smartphones these days are all about the user experience. The Gnex is behest of any nonsensical bloatwares that mfg loves to apply on an otherwise good phones (you know those ones). Google intends the Nexus devices to be pure unadulterated Android experience. As such it runs fast and smooth.
Add the large dev community behind it that constantly create new roms and kernels for it. Therefore the Gnex will continuously improve.
With the Galaxy Nexus, you can also be certain that most apps will run great on it. Not just because of its pretty great specs,but also because because the Gnex is often regarded as the benchmark phone when building an app.
One downside I can think of right now is probably the not-so-stellar live wallpaper performance, especially the scrolling ones. Even on jellybean, some of the stock live wallpapers still trails behind when navigating between homescreens.

how long have you got this?
Ya..I too experienced some lag while navigating b/w home screen with live wallpaper

Trust me, you will not be disappointed. And for the price? It's a friggin steal. Everything is super smooth. If you are gonna root (which I hope you will) there are plenty of roms that increase performance. But even if you don't, it is extremely smooth, all round.
Developer support is unmatched
But, if you are willing to spend some more cash, I'd say wait for the Google announcements. We'll definitely be seeing at least one more nexus.

I still want to buy Samsung Galaxy Nexus I9250, i'm fanscinated by its 4.6-inch, 720 x 1280 pixels Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.
But i have several question.
is it having a nice battery time? Is the dual-core processor making everything run smoothly?
How about the auto-rotate feature?
(attached the link here: http://dx.com/p/samsung-galaxy-nexu...uper-amoled-wi-fi-and-gps-black-118551?item=4 , so you can get the correct one and give me suggestion), thanks!

Hi there, I'll always vouch for a device released by Google. You should definitely get this phone cos you'll be guaranteed OTA updates without the bloatwares other device manufacturers add to their versions of Android or you could wait for the next Google phone which might be coming out soon.

Specs look great, but no late, and base mod comes at 8 gig storage. My lte 32 gig actually still looks good

Thinking about it 350$ is great I would get 8 but no expandable storage I may pick one up if the battery is great and reviews are positive then I'll sell my galaxy nexus

Honestly not bad at all, but except CPU changes and induction charging, what are the better points compared to the GNEX ?
Unless a Verizon version launches later (like always seems to happen with Sprint Nexus devices), I'll be hanging onto my LTE Gnex until the next Nexus comes out late next year. I like my LTE, I like 32 GB of storage, and let's face it, Verizon has the best network in the country. That's pretty much indisputable.
Eh. I'm sorry, but after getting 4G LTE on my nexus I will not buy another phone without it. I'll get 4.2 on my current nexus and that will hold me over until a better device comes out. I really kinda hate LG. . .
The new device looks awesome. I think I'm jealous of the camera and new version of Android. Oh yeah. And that quad core S4. Lol. We still have a cool phone. We will have 4.2 soon enough.

Other than the big brother spec bump, bringing nexus hardware back to relevancy, Lifespan, is probably the main, albeit undersold, reward in buying the new nexus. Will the gnex still be adequate by the time nexus 5 rolls around? Maybe. But whatever the life of this phone, the 4 will far exceed it. And longevity is one of the key reasons Joe phone user purchases the nexus.

Amen to that.
Right now I'm going stir crazy without a 10" tablet! I sold my old Nexus S and my LTE Motorola Xoom so I could have the cash to buy a Nexus 10. Since they aren't available until November 13, I'm going to go crazy without it! That Nexus 7 is great for reading in bed, but for doing anything productive, I needs me a 10" tablet. My laptop is going to get more use the next two weeks than it has in 2 months!
There's no comparison. Not even close. N4 is the best spec'd phone available on almost every component and costs the same as the Galaxy Nexus. If you bought a GN in the last 29 days, return it immediately. With all that said, the Galaxy Nexus is still an excellent phone.

I'd almost rather have a Galaxy Nexus for the Super AMOLED screen alone. Given the choice between LED or IPS, I'm taking LED any day of the week.

That is basically always the point. Also, considering the nexus s still gets updates I doubt we will stop getting them for a while. Also, the galaxy nexus can play whatever games I want it to, and it has the same GPU as the nexus s ( I am talking nova 3 , NBA 2k13( which stutters a little bit), and dead trigger on high).

I'll wait until I see the screen to decide that. After two Samsung Nexus in a row I'm ready for someone else and even a different screen tech.
The camera will be the main selling point for me. Absolutely love my GNex, but I find it funny whenever I see apologists try to act as if the camera isn't sub par.
Wireless charging, even though I like it, is only a gimmick (much like the curved screen of the GNex to be fair).
I have no plans on upgrading; that being said I also don't have insurance on my phone. If I had to replace it, I'd definitely spring for the N4 if I was going brand new instead of eBay/ CL.

Yeah. I'm just comparing between the LED screen on the Galaxy Nexus and the IPS display on the Nexus 7. That IPS display is no slouch, but it's no LED.
Unless my gnex breaks, Ill wait, however I'm sure others are very excited about this device. Its definitely a deal. Quad core s4 for the price of the gnex u bought from the play store yesterday
Being on prepaid wireless, I couldnt give two ***** about LTE. Gnex in NYC gets over 10mbps down on tmobiles network.

Uh, the Nexus S doesn't have a GPU that's even close to the one in the Gnex.

Really? I was pretty sure it was the same exact GPU but clocked slower

My galaxy nexuses dismay hurts my eyes a little bit after a while of use. Although the nexus 7s screen is definitely washed out, it looks much sharper to me
