How is Galaxy Nexus so far?

This is my original post about how my N1 died.
Farewell to Nexus One
I am looking for new phone, and I am interested with Galaxy Nexus, as I am a Nexus fanboy.
So, how is Galaxy Nexus so far? How big the upgrade if compared to N1? I don't read any reviews about it yet, and I want to hear some small opinion or review from xda members.
Thanks a lot.

A giant upgrade!

Use the search feature and read existing reviews with 10+ pages. Its a lot more efficient than starting a thread.
You'll get a lot of biased posts as well since...well..you are in the Galaxy Nexus forum.
Its $350 without a contract. I think that's a steal. Get it.

Get the GNex. You'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Its the best phone out there.

I went from a G1 to N1 to NS to GNex... Each phone has been better than the last.

It's a huge jump from the N1 to the GNex, don't wait any longer.

A complete review of the Galaxy Nexus(and ICS).

You have ferrari of 80s and you ask for the ferrari of 2012. Take it and you'll see by your self. This baby flies !!!

I had the nexus one and loved it, but switching to the galaxy nexus was the best thing, don't know how I used the screen on the nexus one its tiny, plus you get faster radios, way better camera, a ffc and you can actually play games without the multi touch crapping out or being limited by the Adreno 200 GPU. And last but not least you get [email protected][email protected]!.
Get the galaxy nexus and you won't look back.

Nexus gives you wings?
.. but yeah, N1 to a GN is a HUGE upgrade. Any phone of this generation will be a huge upgrade. A caution of word though, after using Galaxy Nexus... your N1 screen will look like a joke. At least that's what GN did to me to any phone with a screen smaller than 4.5"

Hell, I went from the HTC One X to the GNex and it felt like a massive upgrade. I couldn't imagine going from N1 to GN. Do eeeet.

Get the GN and no mistake.
I'd changed my GN only with the next GN.

A big upgrade that's for sure.

Just use the open VPN for android off the market and you don't need to worry about tun. Just import your openvpn profile. Its nice app as you don't need root. It works on stock.

Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S III?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you

If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Unlocked phones. Where I live carriers do not sell locked phones.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....

That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

U wont need s3 godly hardware with our buttery super smooth JB powered nexus~
Totally nexus device for me

This forum its crowded with threads about ppl regretting about sold gnex to buy s3 and hello guys I'm back sold my s3 for a gnex+xxxxx dollars.. Gnex Rox etc etc x.x

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

Cheap Galaxy Nexus?

Where can i pick up a really cheap used galaxy nexus??
I have an HTC sensation atm running cm9 and i hate the phone, its got such a bad screen and battery life is awful. AOSP also doesnt run as well on the sensation as it does on a nexus, and htc sense is a load of crap.
Thanks for any replies.

I live in UK countryside, had a browse but no one seems to be selling one anywhere near me. I would get it posted or shipped from US but u can never trust people on craigs list can u...

CL is your best bet but nobody will probably make a deal from country to country.

I just bought one from Google Play for $350. Really good price considering its a Nexus device.

If you are asked to ship a item on Craigslist its a scam 10/10 times. Possibly eBay then? But it seems like all phones are overpriced on eBay but it might be worth a look.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Does the UK give the option to buy a Nexus from the Play Store?

I'm not sure if Swappa is available in the UK, but it is an excellent place to shop for used devices.
Most even come prerooted or with custom recoveries.

Nexus 4?

Anyone here thinking of selling there Galaxy and Getting the Nexus? I'm debating it but the internal only memory is a real dissaponitment especially since I bought a 32 gb sd card with my Galaxy
Opnion on the Nexus 4? To get or not?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Gotta wait till the 29th for me to make any decisions, but I'm not gonna lie, the lack of microSD slots these days is really starting to tick me off.

yup I would do that but no sdcards slot makes me say hell no.
But hopefully they release more than 1 nexus, I would few more days.

Well, if you already have the nexus, no SD cards are something that you are uses too. That's probably one of the biggest adjustments I'd say.
Personally, I prefer SD card support.

I'm seriously considering moving over if the Nexus 4 is big hit because the lack of updates is really pissing me off. I was going to originally move over to the Note II but it's too expensive right now, so I rather see what Nexus 4 has to offer.

The note 2 is expensive sadly...but I will upgrade from my Note.
The nexus 4 is extremely lacking in the looks department. The front is a spitting image of the galaxy nexus...and the back? Blah.
HTC would make a killer nexus in the looks dept. Hands down the best looking android phones.

Lack of updates? Samsung isn't going to push JB before their first JB phone (note2) just came out... or nobody would buy the new phone...
thats just smart business.

Yeah but HTC is no longer dev friendly... and the build quality of their last couple of Tmo devices has been junk. Just my opinion (and I was a huge HTC fanboy - nexus one, mt4g, amaze, and one s). Amaze and One S were junk by my standards

I was only bringing up HTC in regards to their latest high end stuff (design wise). Mainly the OneX and upcoming DLX/DNA.

+1 it looks so plain specs seem nice like quad core s4 pro and I think 2gb ram? But the s3 looks so much better and in don't really care too much about updates as I use custom roms

Design looks like a step backward, LG is terrible with customer care. They should've stuck with HTC build designs.

Im so pissed bc there looks like there will be no love or support for ppl on cdma carriers...I have had every nexus since the nexus one...and i finally left gsm to join vzw with galaxy nexus. I really dont want to go back to GSM..so if there is no CDMA LTE LOVE on the nexus 4 i will be waiting for the HTC DLX

No sd slot and the fact that it's made by lg made up my mind to skip it. Plus I've never liked any phone as much as the s3. Might actually keep it for more than 8 months

Hello, my name is the7thson and I have a problem...

Just figured I'd share my addiction story amongst my fellow Android kin who would understand. I'm addicted to the Nexus line. I literally own everything ever made that says Nexus on it (other than the Q, but they pulled that pretty quickly).
I always think I'm going to sell a device and move on to the next one, but for some reason I keep hoarding them and never getting rid of them.. I have no idea why. Attached are some pictures.
And yes, I have 2 GNexii, one is for every day stable use and the other one is for discovering new features before they're ready for prime time
Today I bought a Nexus 4, but somehow convinced myself that I don't need Nexus 10 since I'm so happy with my Nexus 7. Whew, dodged that bullet!
I realize this is off-topic and not exactly productive in any way, but I figured who else would understand if not this bunch.
EDIT: I'm sure you all already know this, but just in case: Clockwise from top left - Nexus One, Nexus 7, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus. All carrier unlocked.

At least its not drugs.

I can understand perfectly. The only thing i don't have in your picture is the nexus s. I made a mistake in selling it. Have nexus one, nexus 7, 2 gnex and waiting for nexus 4. It's not an addiction. It's a passion. Hehehe
