[Q] galaxy nexus or htc one s?

hey guys, so i got a fido upgrade coming up, should i go with the htc one s (should be releasing soon) or galaxy nexus?
i'm just going to be using it as a daily phone, just the regular stuff. i'm kind of hesitant on the htc phone seeing how the htc one x has so many issues.
opinions/thoughts?
thanks!

I'd go with the Galaxy Nexus even though I have serious issues with the display. There doesn't seem to be anything in the One S that would make it better than the GN. Battery life and camera perhaps?
Personally at this point I'm waiting quite eagerly what will the Galaxy S III be. SAMOLED HD+ perhaps?

Depends what you want.
One s had awesome build quality and feel with the micro arc oxidation body. Super slim with a smaller screen. It had a faster processor but the screen quality is worse. Lower resolution. Sense with less developer support most likely.
Galaxy nexus has a better screen with better developer support and will get jelly bean much quicker

don't think fido would be getting the S3, they don't have much of a phone selection there anyways, usually i just buy phones online, but since i had an upgrade thought might as well decide between the htc and GN.

I'd say go with the Nexus One S.
Or if that isn't available the Galaxy Nexus, best phone on the market even with it's "Uber outdated sucky" specs.

I'm just going to tell everyone to get the device that is NOT the Galaxy Nexus.

If the one x had a verizon version about a month ago...i would have taken it the day it came out...stupid contracts

One s or Gnex I'd go with Gnex
One x or Gnex I'd go with One x
But that's just me

I wont buy a something other than a Google phone this time it feels right unlike HTC sense, also the nexus has the best wifi connection ever and the smoothest browser.. so if you like internet go for the nexus if you like games go for the HTC regardless of the version

I'm very satisfied with my Galaxy Nexus, great Display and Vanilla Android. And of course you get updates much faster. I had HTC Legend and Galaxy S before and was always waiting a long time for newer versions. The camera of the Nexus is also damn quick. I will only buy Google branded devices in the future.

Pick the One S for the specs.
The krait processor is around 30% faster than the A9 processor found in the Galaxy Nexus.
But, if you love Amoled screens and early updates then the Galaxy Nexus is a good choice too.
Both are great phones but the One S is newer, and hence has the benefits of a newer phone.

Three main points:
- Pentaband (I have been on T-Mo for 7 years and have no intention o fleaving)
- Development support
- Largest screen I can get
That means Galaxy Nexus... for now...

The Samsung note has a bigger screen.
Anyways I'd choose the gnexus. Just cause its guaranteed updates. Whereas every other phone relies on carrier to push that to you unless you manually update it and at that your still waiting for a carrier somewhere in the world to give an update. And we all know how good they are at doing that... Unless your going to be using ported roms which just aren't as good as something made specifically for the device. IMO your not going to get any phone a whole lot better than the gnexus right now. Minorly better, but not leaps and bounds. Plus, your getting ics on the gnexus, which makes everything a lot easier, and for whatever dumbass reason, still isn't out officially for other devices on a global scale.

For me it's hard to say Gnex or One S/X. I've got nexus from few weeks and it's Superb, but i never have my hands on One S/X to compare with Gnex. When you get phone with contract by internet/on-line shop you've got 14 days to change your mind. So take Nexus first and try it for couple days, then send it back to the shop and take One S/X and try it as well as Nexus. Then i'm sure you'll find out what is the best "one" for you.
All best.

I'm in sort of the same sittuation, the difference would be the phone is both, daily use and development phone.
So far, the cons and pros I have managed to grab are:
HTC One X:
+ great display IPS2 with better color reproduction and possibly better battery life
+ policarbonate body and Gorilla Glass 2 makes a strong point in quality of construction
+ good camera especially after latest updates
+ Quad core processor which means for at least 2 years the phone will keep its head up
+ Sense UI from the regular user point of view
+ capacitive button's which don't take screen space so the image displayed is trully 720p
- Senese UI from a developer's point of view
- many user seem to have reception problems and with 4.0.4 update, on standby it looses connection.
- Power button seems to be not so convenient placed
- probably slower updates on new Android versions
- for now games need to be optimised for Tegra platform
Galaxy Nexus:
+ android vanilla
+/- pentile superAmoled display
+ power button easy to reach
+ browser and flash seems smother than on HTC
- hardware can be considered old with only dual core processor and same GPU as S1
- camera quality quite bad
- no gorilla glass, but some enforced glass but users complain about scratches easily made
- cheap plastic body easy to scratch or crack
- buttons on screen taking from 720p resolution and it seems that no other company went this
way, both HTC and Samsung are still using capactive buttons
- low speaker volume
- bad battery life, especially on browsing
I really don't know what to get. Difference between Nexus (taken free of contract) and One X (with 12 months contract) is around 100$, in favor of Nexus.

Thinking of Getting a Nexus

So I've got a Nexus S right now that's barely making it and i've been putting the idea of buying a new phone particularly the galaxy nexus.
Besides the upgraded processor and screen, is the phone that much better?
Thanks again for your help guys.

Compared to my buddy's Nexus S the GNex is only better in some points:
- better multitasking because of 1gig of ram
- better camera
- apps loading faster
- better design. my personal opinion
- better screen
Besides the battery life, which is better in the nexus s all the other things are equal to the nexus s.

I did the same upgrade, it's worth it. the larger screen takes a little getting used to, but i'm super happy with the change.
As an added bonus, since there is only 2 models, only one of which is international, there are a lot more accessories available for the device, more case choices etc.

I made the same upgrade. Now when I go and use my mom's nexus s, I see what I was missing out on before the upgrade.
There is always the option to upgrade to the S3 or HTC OX but realistically, I've have had all the nexus phones so far and cannot see myself changing that. Not to mention, if you buy the Gnex now, at least you know for sure that you still have around half a year before the next nexus is announced let alone available.

Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X?

So I know im ought to get some bias asking this question on here but I am wondering whether I should get the Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X.
The HTC One X obviously has the better hardware (screen, processor, BT 4.0, battery, etc) but the thing the Galaxy Nexus has is the stock Android experience and priority OS updates. But im guessing that the HTC One X will have unofficial ports of stock Android.
So I guess the question is, should I go for the Galaxy Nexus that is Google and will get stock Android that is customized for it or should I get the HTC One X that has better hardward but will have to get unofficial ports of Android to it.
Edit: Accidentally posted this in general. Can mods please help me move this into QA. Sorry

That thread is about specs. If I was looking for specs then I would've gotten the HTC One X already.

I'd go for the Nexus if you can get past the pentile display. I'm a very picky person, and while I do notice it from time to time I can definitely live with it. I'm not too sure why anyone needs a quad core phone to e-mail or text someone. I do like to game, but most don't work well on touch screens, so the high end games that actually tax the thing I don't really enjoy playing. Give me Block Breaker HD over any of the high end titles anyday.
My main reason for going with the Nexus is timely updates and lots of customization. I mean, I'm using Jellybean and it's not even released yet. Coming from HTC and Sony this is definitely a nice change.

Well, if you go for a Nexus you might have to get it used if you don't order soon considering the current ban... which might make your decision a bit easier.

Oh and here's the obligatory "this question has been asked 10239487 times already" comment.

For everlasting support, go Nexus, anything else, go One X.

I have the One X now, have had the Gnex before and, am getting it again from the play store.
The One X is a very nice phone design-wise. I like the design better than the Gnex. It has HTC sense which is not that bad this time and runs very well with ICS, this is one of the reasons I got it. The One X doesn't have the software buttons like the Gnex so your getting all the use of the 4.8 inch screen, making it seem bigger. You can't remove the battery but from my experience, the battery will last all day once you charge and discharge it a few times. The One X has LTE and can fall back on HSPA+ (the faster version).
The Gnex is a pure Google phone and with Jellybean running on it that makes the choice easy for me. I'm a fan of pure Google. The Gnex is also nice design-wise with it's black screen with no logos on the front and, slim curved shape. From the videos I've watched, the Gnex running 4.1 (jellybean) runs just as good, if not better than the One X. The Gnex only has HSPA + and it seems like the slower version form my experience.
Overall I like the Gnex but, it just depends what you looking for. You can't go wrong with either. When I get mine I'll be able to really compare them side by
side. In my opinion, what ruins the carrier phones is how they put the skins on them without giving people a choice to run pure Google. A One X or S3 running pure Android 4.1 would be super phones.

HTC One X vs Galaxy Nexus
Jelly Bean

Took my Jellied out Nexus to the store the other day.
Honestly thought my Nexus was faster than the AT&T One X.

I had both (AT&T One X BTW). And although the HOX has better hardware no doubt, I like the GNEX better overall and heres why
*Its a Nexus... Updates galore!!!
*On screen buttons are more attractive to me (beats the lazy menu button the HOX uses on un-updated apps)
*Jellybean..... OMFG Jellybean!!!! I used to hate that the GNEX had a weak-ish processor but project butter made me shove my tounge down my throat. It is smoother than the HOX with ICS overall and its gonna take a while till an official update for HTC, when they smear Sense all over it. I am more than pleased with the performance
*No S-ON/S-OFF woes like HTC phones
* $10 unlimited data :-D
What i miss from the One X. The camera quality, the smooth curved feel of the screen when you glide your finger to the edge, the soft touch texture of the body, LTE speeds
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Get the Nexus. Fastboot oem unlock FTW.

I bought a HTC ONE X and used if for 14 days before selling it for a Galaxy Nexus. While the HOX was a beautiful looking phone and had a better screen and faster processor I just couldn't adjust to sense ui after coming from stock android on my nexus s previously. Apart from this the set i had was suffering from overheating issues...don't know if its with all quad core processors but that phone really cant handle the hot weather here in Pakistan (46 Degrees Celcius today) and was more often than not running at 50 to 56 degrees with wifi on or when charging. This overheating was also causing weird screen issues which i researched and found was common in the HOX. Overall I dont regret getting rid of the one x and getting a galaxy nexus

I liked the One X, I had three of them. All had different hardware faults. The battery drained too fast for my liking as well. Amazing idle time, soon as you use it... drains like crazy. Even worse than the Nexus does, if you can believe such a thing.
New Nexus is a seemingly perfect phone. The Note would have been if it didn't have Touchwizz on it.

I had a htc one x but also had loads of issues with quality control. This only seems to affect the quad core one x so I think you will be fine if you get the XL. I prefer sense to stock myself . But jellybean on the nexus looks amazing and I'm getting mine this week

one x
I have them both, and love them

To be perfectly honest, you're a fool if you get a non-Nexus Android phone.

Am I really the only one who thinks the One X is Fugly?! The One S is far better easier on my eyes. I have two friends who own both versions and it's just an ugly ass device and lags stupid. The Nexus is so gorgeous. Get it. Who the hell really needs a quad core anyways..?! Unless MAYBE if you're running it on a tablet..

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I had both. Granted it was an sgh-i777 but it essentially the same phone as the i9100. The s2 out performs the gnex on hardware hands down to me. (Only comparing 3d gaming) but cm can be a little buggy at times with wake locks when I had it. Gnex has a better screen and software support but both are great phones. Do you want last years king of the phones or bleeding edge software updates?

Both good phones
I had the gt-9100i and are currently using the Gnex.
And like the post above me i did like my SGS2, but not having the newest version of android really was a dealbreaker for me

Well that is a dealbreaker for me too.

I can confirm what has been written above. I sold my international S2 i9100, which I really loved!
Exynos with Mali 400 outperforms TI-OMAP 4460 with its PowerVR SGX540 I guess in every single test. (for example in case of Nenamark2 the difference is 48-52:28-32!) S2 has gorilla glass and better camera (8 mpix + 2 mpix), sd-slot, even hard home button can be considered as an advantage.
On the other hand. Nexus has much better screen, NFC, and great support! It depend what your priorities are but...If you're into aosp/cm world Nexus is far better solution.
Official updates. Even though I think samsung is the fastest update-provider among all manufacturers still S2 got recently...its second 4.0.4 update while GNex has 4.1.2! Samsung confirmed S2 to be scheduled to JB-update in november, but I highly doubt it'll be given more than this. In case of Nexus....I'm certain it'll be supported at least 12 more months.
Moreover...exynos is closed hardware, (while omap is dev's beloved device) which makes it extremely hard for devs to get fully functioning aosp rom. You can see the difference if you compare CM10 on both handsets.
- S2 - no jb-hwcomposer and thus no v-sync, no butter - jittery and yes laggy, problems with audio.
- GNex - almost perfectly smooth! I know that lot of people here complain over smoothness but seriously there's nothing to complain. IT's one of the smoothest android experience today even if you compare it to hardware monsters like international variant of S3.
Smoothness of stock roms cannot be even discussed here. Nexus wins fair and square. So...who cares what benchmarks say? The device is as good as the software running on it.

I wish this had gorilla glass while reinforced also its not as strong it scratches easily compared to my S1 it has small nicks on it and has been though worst then my nexus an nexus has a good 5 big scratches and also cracked display

I had both for a while, i really think the gnex outperforms the gs2 in every single way, sure gs2 have a better camera and it was pretty fast with gingerbread but it failed to delivery the same experience with ICS...and it took sooo much time to samsung release ics and with crappy touchwizz wich was the same skin as in gingerbread.
The gs2 has very low resolution and ppi screen so the gpu as an easy time. The iphonish home button really sucked balls. Basically gs2 is already outdated and doesnt deliver the same user experience as the gnex. IMHO.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I still have my i9100, purchased it before the nexus. there are things I prefer on it over the nexus, but not deal breakers.
The s2 has much better standard screen colors than the nexus, I had to tweak using a kernel that support color tweaking to get the same colors that pleased me on the s2.. However, after spending time on the higher resolution nexus screen, the s2 looks real bad.. But prior to purchasing the nexus I thought the s2 screen resolution was fine, but I did not have anything to compare it to.
Call quality I find to be much better on the nexus, much clearer voices.
Cameras.. I don't use them much so I don't have an opinion on it. as long as the phone takes pictures, I'm happy.
Wifi is much better on the s2.. I have fought with constant disconnects on the nexus hardware, while the s2 always had rock steady Wifi.
Speed... This depends on what you use the phone for. I do not play alot of games. I do not doubt the s2 has faster hardware to run games better, however I find the nexus offers a much more fluid experience when doing everything else. Simple things as such as dialing a phone number, typing, scrolling, and the nexus much more responsive and fluid. there are no annoying pauses or lags. the s2 no matter what rom I was using always had some sort of lag.
Ever thing just works on the nexus, while alot of things on the s2 were compromises. you get one feature but another was broken, especially when using custom roms.
I'm going to hang onto my s2 until the official jb release and see if jb can make it run as well as the nexus... If not, I'll be selling it.

That's right and Touchwizz is extremely ugly but ...ICS on Galaxy Nexus was laggy as hell to be honest, sometimes even worse than in case of S2. For example if you applied live wallpapers. I have never noticed any single scroll-lag on S2 (stock ICS rom), on GNex it was unfortunately pretty common.

Just switched from an i777 to the gal nex and I would never go back...the screen alone is enough...not to mention instant shutter speed on the camera, first to update, I've had much better battery life...plus when you go to a custom ROM, compared to the s2, everything just WORKS...and for $350 you won't regret it
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

s2 was my first android, gave it to my dad and now using gnex.
fundamentally the gnex has a higher screen resolution, but no hardware keys on the front so nav buttons are a must on it.. s2 has buttons, and side by side, the displays are actually a bit identical. the gnex looks somewhat better because of the higher ppi, but pentile is visible on text when you see it very closely..
performance wise, both have almost the same cpu specs, but gnex is slightly slower. its because of the higher resolution. and i can tell you this without any benchmark numbers. i tried fpse on both, there's a slight lag on the gnex. the sgs2 runs it smoothly..
jellybean on gnex is stable (of course) and awesome. on the s2, not so much...
all games/apps work on both, with slight differences in things like emulation as i said above..
battery life on both is more or less the same, both are battery hogs. but after using them both for well over two months each, i can say that gnex sucks from 100 to 0 slightly faster.. an extended battery wouldn't be such a bad idea, i personally bought myself an anker 5600mah portable charger, and it does the job for me battery life wise. easily get through the day with super heavy use (navigation,browsing hsdpa, etc)
if you're gonna buy one of these TODAY, it makes no sense to get a s2. nexus is cheaper, and you are guaranteed Key lime pie immediately, and even possible L-- version.. yes the camera is a bit bad compared to the s2, but it's a small trade off for the price difference and software update frequency.

I've heard about it but never experienced it myself because I've rooted and installed a custom rom+kernel in the second day i had it. I think that was with android 4.0.2 witch i never run on my phone. The only "stock" firmware i had was the jelly bean leak and it was great.

Sent from Nexus Prime

Can't beat the nexus experience. I still have my i777, rooted weeks after I got it, and have loved tinkering, and tweaking the hell out of it ever since. Both phones are more than capable of remaining relevant for some time, but as I said, it's the Google flagship experience that really seals it. I love my s2, aokp with siyah is amazing, but I've had my nexus for just shy of 2 months now, and I honestly haven't found a reason to root it, official jb is just that good for me. Google wallet is about the only thing I've found that one phone has over the other, though Nfc is fully functional on the s2, aside from the secure hardware element needed for wallet. Not sure what the going rate is on the s2 anymore, but at best its just as good a deal as the gsm nexus right now. Long story short(kind of rambling, I apologize) love both phones, wouldn't ever discourage anyone from the s2, but of this comparison, I'd advise the gnex to anyone.
Pink pony Gs2 i777
Pure Google Gnex i9250
Pink stallion Gs3 i747
Stock tweaked Asus tf201

S2 is fast, like other people said, it out performs Gnexus a lot imo. Even on TW GB/ICS or AOSP, its still faster. Exynos are really good. But then, you wont get a proper OTA if you want JB or latest update in the future. I love the brick look of SGS2 though. when the screen is off, it looks so sexy. but gnex are sexy in both screen on and off.
For me, having the latest software in any hardware are important for me.So I am sticking with Gnex. I gave my S2 to my mum, and bought myself a One X. But then I still use Gnexus most of the time for pretty much everything. Cuz it has official Jellybean and all custom roms are stable enough since it is already an AOSP to begin with. One X still have some trouble with ICS/JB AOSP, so only choice to stick with Sense ICS for stability.
my friend always ask me if its worth to get a Gnex since it is 1 year old already. My answer for them are simple, if you care about updates every time they are announced, Gnex is the answer. and also, if you intent to use it to the fullest(3/4 years duration), its Gnex. Otherwise, buy anything you like. I always change phones, but Nexus is the one i wont replace until a next nexus(if they tempt me enough).

I got 2 phone. but i prefer GNX than GS2. GS2 outperform GNX but overall GNX better than GS2

Depends which s2 as well. I had the s2 skyrocket with the s3 processor and its a laggy pos next to the nexus. Lte was awesome and the camera pwns the gnex but that's it. I've had every nexus and every time I've strayed to get another phone I end up having nexus envy.

So the nexus is really that much better than the s2 skyrocket

Upgrade from the GNex?

Hey guys I've been considering upgrading my phone to something better.
I'm currently using the GNex (obviously since I'm in this forum).
Are there any phones you can recommend right now that would be a good upgrade from the GNex? Or should I just wait until the Fall when Google releases their next Nexus phone? Presuming they are actually doing this...
People rave about the SGS4 but when I read about it seems very, very gimmicky.
Does anyone know for sure if Google is releasing a new phone in the Fall, or when specifically? I'm hoping it will follow the same price strategy as the Nexus 4 did, without so much hardware distribution problems....$300 top of the line unlocked Android phone...I'll be all over it this time because to me the difference between a GNex and a Nexus 4 was not huge...but this would be a 2 year difference now.

Just wait. You have the Note 3, Motorola X, possible updated HTC One, and other powerful devices coming. The Galaxy S4 and current HTC One is about to be obsolete in terms of hardware which is crazy.

If LG will make the new NEXUS ,then i would go for note 3 ,

I upgraded to the S4 and am 100% satisfied although I would advise you wait a little bit longer for the rumoured devices to come out.

looking at the motoX currently as well. For what it's worth, my dad just picked up the S4 and it is a great phone, but if you can afford to wait, you lose absolutely nothing. Don't like the Moto X, you can get the S4.

Well I just upgraded to the HTC one. It really is an awesome device, and sense 5 is an excellent skin. No lags or over the top intrusions like previous versions of sense.
The build quality is incredible. The most beautiful feeling when u pick it up in your hands. Premium. And it's a looker too. I won't even go into the twin front facing stereo speakers. They are something too.
Its the first smartphone I've had with a non removable battery as well. Battery is good for the average day comfortably.
I would say go for it. It's got excellent specs to match as well. 2 gigs of ram and quad snapdragon 600. Can't go wrong.

Build quality is great. Rooted and flashed a custom rom not even an hour after I got home. Not real big on Sense, but I can manage with it.
I still have my Gnex, in case I start to feel nostalgic and want to go back to that

The Nexus 4 is still a great device, and should be relevant for some time to come. Also, since you have a Galaxy Nexus, you probably aren't against rooting. Get an S4, or an HTC One, root it, and make it a Google Edition device. Or just flash an AOSP based rom on it.
There's always something coming out in the next few months. Figure out what features are important to you, and find a phone that matches those features.

if anything right now then I'd go with HTC One, or wait to see what the next nexus will be.
