Galaxy note 2 vs future Nexus

Wow I just saw a "hands on" of the galaxy Note 2, man! gotta love that big screen
With jelly bean.
Release date by October which means around the corner of the next nexus also with jelly bean, but smaller screen

Unless the note ships with super AMOLED plus I won't even look at it, same for new NEXUS.

Why? the Super AMOLED HD used in the S3 is much improved over the one we have on the Nexus

sources seem to be all over the place, but from what i've seen it's basically SAMOLED+. whatever it is, it's an improvement over the pentile arrangement in the Nexus/SGSIII.
unless i see something coming down the pipeline for a US release with the S4 Pro (quad core) i'll be getting the Note II on release day for T-mo.

Trust me...you don't want to go past the 4.8-inch mark. I own the Note...and long-term....it's a little inconvenient. =)

Nooooo! NO bigger than what it is now. Not even 4.8. I'd actually prefer a 4.5 inch or something, the 4.65 is a tad large at times when I want to reach to top left corner.

Screen Size
Im an x note owner, I have had my Nexus for more than 5 months now. I have to admit that I still suffer a little bit from missing the larger screen, I even ran Tablet UI mode to take advantage of my screen. Yes I wish the next nexus has a bigger scren ! Cause I don't think I can own anything other than a Nexus at the time being...

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.

If thats true, that sucks for the people who just bought it. I dont think google is that cruel.

Could be a new device category. Android chrome book? Project glass? Improved Nexus Q? They've established a nexus line with the 4,7, and 10 so the only logical thing to do is expand on it.

I'd like to see Google expand the Nexus range by releasing some sort of budget smaller-screen Nexus phone that can go on sales in the Play Store (was hoping the Galaxy Nexus would continue to be sold on the Play Store as a budget device but they ended up just completely removing it). Probably not a good idea to launch a new Android version on a budget phone though lol.

No, it's the idea that the name is sort of confirmed and so we can get an idea that the next version, as it has a different name will be a major version (?) and therefore have more features and stuff

Yes, that's exactly what I was implying in my previous post that Google should have sold the GN alongside the N4 with a reduced price as a budget option, but they decided to discontinue it.
If they managed to get a top end device made for ridiculously cheap why not a mid level one for even cheaper. Everyone benefits (probably except phone manufacturers and retailers who are still trying to sell unlocked phones at ridiculously inflated prices).

I have a Nexus S 4G and from what I've experienced from a friends Gnex and read online about the Gnex, can REALLY say it's a mid-level phone? It might be on the lower end of high-end... But IMHO its still not a mid-level phone... Its better for everyone that they don't sell the Gnex cheaper because that would drop the resale value and essentially saturate the market with a "cheap" phone... Not saying the phone is cheaply made, but people think a phone is cheap if its not +300...

Maybe mid-level isn't the right word, but it's definitely not one of the current high-end phones. Anyway Apple, for example, has always been selling their previous models with reduced prices as a budget offering so it's not a strange concept. Anyway, saturating the market with good but cheap(er) phones isn't exactly a bad idea. If anything it encourages more manufacturers to make better, cheaper phones to stay competitive, which is good for consumers.

[Q] Why to buy a Nexus Phone?

I bought my galaxy nexus a year ago, and I used the stock rom for a long time.
I always tought it was a good idea to be the firt to get google updates....
Since 2013 I started to flash custom roms on my device (i tried a lot of them), and I liked much more than the stock rom.
Whats the point of having a nexus phone, if im already using custom roms?
I wont get update by google anyway.
I want to buy a new phone, and prefer samsung quality over LG, so I was thinking to buy a galaxy S3 (here in Brazil is cheaper too).
there is any reason not to buy GS3 over N4? (using custom rom)
a friend of mine told me that custom roms run much better on nexus devices because they are open source and have less bugs.
is it true?

Nexus phones are made to be easily unlocked with with a simple command.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

plus, with those custom roms, since you have a nexus it will be the first or among the first to get the newest updates to android or hell at least the most stable before any of the OEM versions or the ports that follow or lead up to them. Basically, nexus=first dibs to new stuff (from google anyway, as long as the device supports it)

This. Have you ever unlocked a Motorola device? It is nerve wrecking. Look it up on YouTube. You almost have to do a ritual dance with incense to do it correctly without bricking your device.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

Something else to consider is updates to the proprietary files and other fun stuff that isn't open sourced. Nexus devices have these things update pretty regularly, and with the new OS build. Others...well of course they lag a bit behind the Nexus line, and as such may not see an update for a month or more in most cases.

S3 becuz u can just port some s4 stuff over to it. Which is the newest stuff.

N4 is actually better at hardware level (more ram and a newer cpu) and consequently you will have a longer lifetime for you device ..if you will have treated it gently

The S4 if you don't mind the high price otherwise the N4.

Don't agree... If one has an S3, no point upgrading to S4.. Now if you don't have an S3 already.. Just skip it and get s4. Actually, I realized I don't care about any phone if its not a Nexus.

i prefer my GNex over and Galaxy S3S/4 any day. i work on Galaxy S's almost every day and while unlocking/rooting/flashing them is literally a < 5 minute process they just feel too large and clunky to play with. big screen is ok, hardware is good, but my GNex just feels more responsive and clean and having support for all of the latest Android updates first in line is a bonus. Nexus 4 is ok too but it reminds me of holding an iPhone too much and i don't like the feel of the device. just an opinion
