I would def do it.

Do you want a SGSIII?
- If yes, get it.
- 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.

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

I actually really liked my g2x, the screen was awesome on it and it felt good in the hand. Also the tegra 2 was smokin fast, IMO was faster than my gs2. Just sucked that it had such little ram and the battery life was horrible. And the camera blew too

Makes that phone feel like a pos

I have gotten to play with all the newest fancy phones (ONE X, SGS3, etc..) , ill still take my nexus any day of the week. In fact, I would go as far as saying If I was forced to used one of the fancy new phones (that isn't a nexus), I would be extremely unhappy.
An acquaintance of mine the other day was showing me his new [whatever the newest motorola is], making sure to emphasize how much better it is than the "old" galaxy nexus. Next he asked me if I knew how to get the verizon bloat off and when he would be getting a jellybean update... I just laughed.

I paid$150 New for mine plus I get a $50 rebate, and still have the Evo 3D, I just don't use the Evo though since it has sense and since you can't remove bloat without rooting.

I probably would have kept my S2 Hercules if the call quality wasn't so crappy. that thing had some serious call echo on every ROM i tried including stock on both mine and my gf's S2 plus I think that phone was a lot of peoples first android... there was tons of noobs asking the same question 10 times on every page of every ROM thread:what: got annoying real quick lol

Had an iPhone 4S, gave it to my gf. Had an epic before that, selling the crapwiz S2, waiting on the GNEX to come in the mail!!!!

Good on you for paying only 200, great deal for a phone which I have no complaints about beyond speaker volume. I remember being terrified in the interim waiting for shipment of my phone when I came on here and saw all the 'my screen sucks' threads. Just a question if purchasing a used Nexus, is there a quick and dirty way of determining if the secure element necessary for Google Wallet is intact?

I received mine a few days ago. I bought it off ebay for 240 bucks, it came with a nice case and is in like new condition.
This thing is amazing and coming from a Thunderbolt that I have had for well over a year now it makes me wonder what cell phones are gonna be like in 10 or 15 years. I mean the display on the Nexus is gorgeous, the screen is about the perfect size and has a fairly high resolution, the phone is pretty thin, has plenty of built in memory, the OS is intuitive and silky smooth from a performance perspective... I could go on and on but I honestly don't know how things could get that much better. Really the only thing from a hardware perspective that comes to mind is battery life. Maybe in 10 years you will be able to go a week on heavy usage without having to charge your phone.

What do the galaxy nexus owners think of the nexus 4?

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

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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.

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.

[nexus 5][if yes then why?]

who are going to update to nexus 5 and why??
I have ordered one though :angel:

I'm going to get a Nexus 5 because the 1GB RAM isn't enough for what I'm doing with my phone. With multiple Tasker things, PIE control, Halo, Chrome, lots of constant music listening, Nova Launcher themeing, things keep getting killed, lagging my phone, and at times even rebooting. 4.3 helped, but the hardware limitation is still there. That, and my display is wearing out. I can see lines in many places. I won't dump my Galaxy Nexus, though. It'll become a test device to test the apps I'm developing.
Now all I'm waiting for is someone to let me buy one... Come on either Google, Amazon, or Best Buy!

i have bought nexus 5 because i was waiting for it for a couple of month and and my galaxy nexus is no where good in taking normal daily pictures so OIS + nexus that made me to fall in love with nexus 5

I'm buying because I chose last October to not to buy any phones until the next nexus generation phone came out. So I've been waiting too darn long for this phone to drop. But Google decided to be a pest this year with all the ****ery they decided to do to promote this phone. It's like having blue balls and although there's a chick laying there naked knowing you want it but just won't let you have it yet instead she flaunts the p***y in your face to show you how good you can expect it to be. :'( Google stop teasing just let me get in it already lol.

Get the g3, the Nexus 6 will probably be fantastic, but if you put off for that one, you'll put off for whatever comes up next. Get the phone and enjoy it. Life is short, get many phones.

BTW The iPhone 5s has a 640p screen I.e. not even standard HD which is 720p and the S5 is 1080p so I hope it looks better. I never understood iphones 'retina' anyway. To me it's more of a marketing ploy but I digress.
The N6 isn't really confirmed or even leaked so we may not know until right before a possible release. I would stick with the G3 and or read through the topic I linked above.

I've had almost all the NEXUS phones, the last two really didn't impress me at all. Too much compromise in the software for the "pure Android" experience. It might have been cool a couple years ago when manufacturers would bloat the phone down like crazy, well... Samsung's TouchJizz is still a major offender but other manufactures have really slimmed and optimized their UI's while adding a ton of useful features. It's now to the point where I feel pure Android is lacking way too much. Also I never had a good camera experience nor good battery life with ANY of my Nexus phones. It also seems like Nexus devices uses lower end components to meet their price quota, lower quality LCD panels, lower binned CPU/GPU's that thermal throttle like crazy, mediocre camera sensors, small batteries ect...
No more Nexus phones for me, unless they release something really extraordinary but I really doubt it with their budget price cap. After owning both the Nexus 5 and G2, it was incredible how much better the G2 was in everything from software, battery life, screen quality and camera. The G2 just seemed way better engineered and thought out, sure it was "almost" twice as much off contract as the Nexus 5 but this really was a case of "you get what you pay for".

I came from the Nexus 5 to G3 couldn't be more happy! Had enough of terrible battery life from the Nexus 5, will not be getting a Nexus phone ever again.

Agreed, I was also pretty unimpressed by both the Nexus 4 and 5. So the OP should just go ahead and get the G3 now. Then he can wait for the N6 release, and when everyone and their mother has reviewed it to death and found any faults, he can then proceed by selling the G3 and buying the N6 if he think it's worth it That's my plan anyway.

i have the n5 as well..it wont last me not even 2 hours...just using instagram snapchat..texts and facebook..sometimes browsing..ive had the n4 before and i dont think i will get the n6..as far as i heard..it is going to have a 5.2 screen..no sd..no ir blaster..the battery will suck..non removable battery it will probably not top out the g3

Iv seen a Nexus 6 on Craigslist for $600. Im thinking, my G3 is everything that is. Im running Lollipop fast and stable. The display isnt as big but 6" is too much for pocket
Resolution and pixel count are on par. Ram and Rom is on par, plus I can add micro sd and change battery. I love my G3 and Im on freakin Verizon. G3 is the best phone out right now....
