I'm loving my Galaxy Nexus

long story short.
Coming from an iPhone 4s, two week ago I decided to come back to Android which I really miss.
Had Nexus one, Nexus S and I love them both.
Sold the iPhone and bought my Nexus from my local electronics store popular electronics in Chicago for $500 out the door.
I have had Zero problems, Nada!!
People been complaining to much that i was worry about getting a defective device but no... no color issues, reboots, radio is fine, screen is perfect and battery is very very good.
I really missed android.

it really depends....
LTE Verizon Galaxy Nexus.... battery is bad
GSM Galaxy Nexus..... pretty good.
Probably most of the complainers are from LTE because 4G LTE is using a lot of their battery. 4.0.4 also addresses some of these problems with android os battery leaks.

Yeah I truly love this nexus. So elegant looking, beautiful smooth and modern/smart UI. And button less front just looks stunning watching HD YouTube videos in the app. Its gorgeous. Plus idle battery usage stays dead flat. Its perfect.

It is such a gorgeous phone .. but the hardware specs are falling behind with the advent of HTC the OneX ... thinking about switching ...
Although in the couple of weeks I used the GNEX I was stunned by how everything in it screams gorgeous ..

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
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

The Nexus is like a Galaxy S2½. So, there should be something else added to the trade. Maybe GS2 + US$100 = GNex.

Nope. Wouldn't suggest it.

Because it's white? Get a white case if you want that color. Your getting a lesser phone if you trade.

I think its a better phone but its software is less. Nowhere near the same dev support or official support. If history repeats itself the s2 will only get one major update. I doubt it will ever see anything past ics.

Yeah thinking about it its a aweful idea mostly for the reason above unless u want to update your phone soon again lol
You will.get jellybean come the end the year and the gn will still rock I think you would regret it.

I think I'm going keep my gn I really like it I don't know much on the s2 just that it looks cool. I know I can do white case lol I like the white housing but then I need a case for the s2 anyways to protect it so I have put white case on s2 so I will looking into and find a nice white case for my gn
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

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.

while there will be another nexus, there wont be a galaxy nexus 2. if they followed that, then it would be a nexus 4. btw, the article says mock up photos.

Nexus phones have never blown away the current crop of phones at release with majorly advanced hardware. I am not saying Nexus phones aren't advanced...just that their main purpose has always been the "Pure Google Android" software experience.
A phone with actual specs like this would be so expensive even with carrier subsidies it would be rediculous.

I think 4 inch would have been good last year by now is seems to small, I owned most high end smartphones, I think the one x has the best screen yet, and the Samsung s3 feels really good in the hand, the One S is better looking then the iPhone 5 IMO, but what I prefer now for my second phone is probably the new nokia windows phone it looks really good (including the OS), the only good thing about the iOS in general are the apps IMO, I never have a problem on my ipad or iPhone playing gta and I do sometimes on my GS3, I also miss tweetbot on my gs3 but I prefer jelly bean at the moment I can't wait till we get the official from Samsung

Samsungs got it in the bag with sgs3 and note 2 ....keeping the excitement alive with new innovation instead of flipping the old one around like Apple is doing. Seriously i was expecting much more from Apple they certinally have enough money to try new stuff so why arent they? i guess they are done, they are being blinded by the few ignorant sheep that call them "god" of phones. What about smart people who know their was something better from the G1 days,Apple cant compete i guess.

I would attribute the difference in software performance to the fact that companies put most of their resources into iOS development first then android. So you get a much more refined software on ios then you would on android.

It's honestly a flop. The back of the device is cute but besides that.. 4 Inch 4s. Same exact design and everything. I knew it was going to be bad but not this bad lol. I'm not even a legit Apple hater because i wanted the first Iphone (don't you lie and say you didn't want it when it first came out). Pretty funny though to be honest since i've been saying the 5 would be this ever since the rumors began like last year. :highfive: The ONLY thing i can honestly say apple wins over android is Apps. Been saying it for years even though i'm an android fan it's just the honest truth. The apps are better and always comes out first on IOS.

All-in-all a pretty standard upgrade across the board in typical apple fashion.
FINALLY the screen is at least somewhat larger. Fit and finish as always looks to be top notch. The single dynamic antenna is cool. I'm sure the new A6 processor will benchmark impressively. The camera looks to be even better and will likely be the best on a smart phone for the time being.
Some disappointments would be the lack of NFC technology (which Apple holds a lot of patents on, I would expect it to be integrated in two years on the new hardware model or next years refresh at the earliest), and the fact that battery life appears to be the same as the 4S (no improvement), new connector is kinda a bummer (although it was definitely time to upgrade)
Overall its a pretty substantial spec/hardware bump all around, and since people still buy them in droves I don't think Apple had much reason to do much of anything else.
A lot of the improvements are also part of iOS 6, the biggest of which appears to be seamless facebook integration from nearly anywhere.

Very true, which is why it was such a sigh of relief when all the GSIII's in the U.S. have identical specs.
In addition to a more refined software experience, the huge iPhone user base using essentially the same phone ensures that when a breakthrough app is conceived it will inevitably be made for iOS first and foremost in nearly all cases

sent from my apple smashing s3

Choices...

I have a upgrade and Im wondering which phone to get. I like the s3 a lot. Especially the new touchwiz. But I don't like that it could be glitchy and a cheap build. Plus I have had my note for about 6 monthes and I have had some screen problems like the weird ruff spots on it. And I don't want to have the same problems again with the s3. Also is the overheating fixed? I don't want to root this phone (atleast for now) I just want a nice clean reliable and custom experience. Also is the retina display noticeably better? If you have had any problems with your s3 please tell me. Any opinions will be helpful. I'm pretty open minded right now.

Exactly. I don't know much about the iphone5 and one x can you list some pros and cons? That would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Best one is the gs3 cause the one x is older and dosnt have expandable storage or a super amoled or as great dev support and dont get me started with the i****onmyself 5

Save it for the Note 2.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

The note is great its just a tad to big. The 4.8 inch screen of s3 is great size for me. But I have heard it has a number of problems like overheating and its fragile compared to other devices or so I've read. A HUGE pet peeve I have is when the plastic battery door creaks and squeaks. Is that apparent on the g3? And if it does, how well do those metal doors on eBay work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

One more thing. Will the g3 run smooth and reliable without modifing it? I want to use it right out of the box with the least amount of problems as possible

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Are all the us carrier versions the same spec wise?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Depends.
If by "overheat" you mean getting uncomfortably hot, that only happens when you play intensive games like NOVA3 for extended periods of time.
Backdoor creak has never happened to me, but my buttons on the side creek occasionally.
As for your options, honestly the One X doesn't look shabby, but remember that there is less development in that sector, and that the SGS3 has plenty of devs.
As for the iPhone 5, I can tell you from my experience-- that if you enjoy Android, stay away from iOS unless you want to dumb yourself down to a trained monkey. That's my biggest problem with iOS, it's made for extremely simple people. Jailbreaking can't fix the nature of that OS, and that made me dump my iPhone.
In my opinion, I think you should get the SGS3. Build quality won't reach the iPhone 5's, but other then that you won't have any regrets. Besides, you can always exchange.
Goodluck bud!
PS: All US Carrier models are the same, besides the radio. Same Dual Core A-15's @ 1.5GHz.

The main problem I have with the s3 is build quality,reliability,accessories. The iPhone 5 IA built so nicely it makes me feel like it's actually worth 200-300 dollars. The s3 just doesn't give me that quality feel.

I've had my S3 since early July, naked screened, and when i wipe the slight smudges off of it from my fingers, it shines like the day i bought it.
As for the battery door.... yea, i'm pretty sure the only people you'd hear about it being squeaky or cheap from are the iPhone 5 Republic. To them, anything plastic is sh*t anymore. I'd hate to have seen how they chose a phone 6+ years ago, when very few phones even used a THIN metal shell, and smartphones were limited to Windows Mobile and Blackberries basically. I never hear a noise from it, and it's far from cheap feeling. It's actually Polycarbonate plastic.
I've had it running a custom ROM since i'd say just under a month into having it.... but i still tend to stick to the tweaked stock roms more than CM10 stuff, simply because i like the TouchWiz camera. Runs fantastic.

Now Im reading about loose power buttons and even one guys supposedly fell off. OS and screen size of the s3 combined with the build quality,reliability, and retina display of the iPhone 5 would be a fantastic phone.
