So im going to buy a new phone which one do you guys think is better to purchase
T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S III or Google Nexus 4
The Nexus 4. The N4 has much better specs than the US S3. Also, if you are going to buy the phone off-contract, the N4 is around half the price of the Galaxy S3.

Go online and find the compare button and just compare it. sorry dont understand why these threads pop up constantly. Its what better fits your needs and pockets. You know the pros and cons of the phone and should be able to make a educated decision... Blondes or Brunnettes, Tall or Short, Fat or Skinny - where will it end......Jus' Sayin' LOL
Get the S4 when it comes out!

Yep do this. Is the S4 coming out?.. sorry if it sounds stupid but I read that the Koreans are gonna announce it February and release it on March. Sounds crazy but that's kinda the only reason why I decided not to upgrade to S3.
I would choose S3 over the N4. N4 doesn't have an external storage and the most it has I think is 16gb. I'm using a 34gb card with my S2 and on the S3 I'll be using a 64(I think it's 64?...)gb card on it. Plus N4 had no LTE.. if your sticking with T-Mobile then LTE compatibility shouldn't matter. Screen is smaller.. I dunno there was a bunch of other stuff. Google it.

That would be my number one reason as well. I save all the important stuff from my phone on the micro sd (before it goes on the hard drive) and if the phone dies, my precious data will not.
N4
I think a benefit of the N4 would be the android updates would come first to it since its Google's new flagship phone. The specs are good on both and would work flawlessly.
One of the factors that I would look at is the expandable memory cuz u never know if ur gonna need. Both r good phones but on the n4 I think u well run out of space faster and surprise !! no extra memory. Went through this on my n7 it is nice having the vanilla flaver though.
on my t989 enjoying sith3, thank u to all

someone offered to trade me a white unlocked galaxy nexus i9250 + $150 for my black At&t Note......tempted....what to do , what to do.....
like the note...but want ics....and sometimes would like a smaller phone....but not sure....
Do it, if you don't like the nexus sell it soon after and buy another note. Instant profit.
Trade it. You'll like it way more.
If you don't have to have the huge screen + stylus, get the Nexus.
so much biased post going on here. if you posted the same thread in the galaxy note forum, people would say stick with it.
go to a verizon store or something and TRY the phone out. Compare how it feels in the hand to your galaxy note. Watch youtube videos / reviews etc etc.
go to that person and TRY comparing the phone to yours. if you like what you see, or if you don't then conclude but don't conclude off of these posts in the forum.
The note, neither a tablet nor a smartphone, doesn't fit in a pocket, and still no official ics support, y would anyone even consider buying it.. Anyways, get the gnex and enjoy vanilla android.

If I had a choice of Note or the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, I would easily take the Note. I dislike AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile in my area, so the Note isn't an option for me.
The Note fits in half of the pockets in my wardrobe, and I can make phone calls one handed comfortably. The way I use my phone, I find the note more suitable for my needs.
A Nexus Note would be ideal for me. 5.7in screen, Jelly Bean, 3k mah battery+

I know it's been asked a billion times, but I'm asking again. Hopefully I get some positive feedback. I have an unopened unlocked gnex sitting on my table that I ordered from Google and I don't know whether to keep it or return it and get an S3. I truly believe the S3 will have a pushed JB update from Samsung within a month here in the US. That said, once the S3 has JB, what's the perk to getting a Nexus? The biggest reasons I'm even considering the S3 over the Nexus is the bigger battery and the ability to add an sd card. The unlocked gsm version only has 16gb of memory. I take pics and like to watch movies on my phone. I'm coming from a 64gb iPhone 4S so I'm used to having whole seasons of shows plus a few movies plus tons of big apps without even having to pay attention to my storage at all. Will I have to worry about this with a 16gb Nexus? Did anyone else out there have the same problem and found it to be true or not true after using the phone? Basically those are my concerns. Battery and space. I know I'll always have the most up to date OS with the Nexus but it's like there's a new OS released every week. It's months and months in between updates. I'm not worried about my 10gb of music. I'll stream from the cloud or use Spotify. There again, it's just that measly 16gb of space with no way of making it bigger. Thanks for the advice in advance.
It seems as though you've already made up you're mind that you'd be more comfortable with the S3. I think the best way to put it is if you want a solid stock experience then keep the Nexus. If you don't care about stock and any major updates past Jelly Bean then go with the S3.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
You seem to already know the pros and cons of each phone. You'll be in the best position to decide.
Having said that, I still think the GN is the better choice especially considering the price. I'd use the GN and wait for the next best thing to come out.
if youre worried about space.. get the s3. both are great phones. s3 should get jellyjean at some point, but to be honest its pretty fast on ics so it wouldnt really matter.
BlackBerry.
Just get the S3 if you need that much space, especially with videos.
Like they said, you seem to have made up your mind about this. And in your case, considering what you wrote, what you're looking for, I would also get the S3. As you said, the Nexus has only 16GB (although I think there's still a 32GB version) and the S3 has better battery life and camera (and the speakers in the Nexus are not too loud either).
Recently I was trying to decide between the two, so I asked in this forum and their advice really helped me decide (you can check my topic and read their opinions). And before I asked here, I was actually thinking I would chose the S3. Though my priorities weren't battery life or storage space, but software and support, so I chose the Nexus and I'm pretty happy with it. I love it. It's not the best hardware-wise, but I know that of the phones currently available, this is the best for me (and I'm waiting for the next Nexus).
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus.
Do you have a link for your thread?
You can root your GN then use external storage with sticky mount (apk)... There you will have all the space you can buy. 1T external?
I'm using 36G+16G (from my phone) with external storage and is more than what I need. So if you like the GN you have some options.
When you first line starts out with 'I know it has been asked a billion times' do you really need to make it a billion and one? Do you think you will get a special answer that the other billion people did not?
Oh look, what a surprise, it is the same exact answers that you will find in the other billion threads!

Doubtful. The S2 is testing JB right now and is said to get the update to JB so long as everything goes well. If the S2 is still getting updates, that tells me that in a year the S3 will still get updates.

So no issues with the sparse 16gb of memory?
Hello first I would like to thank you for taking the time to view my thread, it means a lot to me. I appreciate the community. I will cut to the chase.
I am thinking about adding a new line to my plan for my little sister. She is currently on MetroPCS and we figured I could save more by adding a plan to my line (about 15 bucks)
What made this so enticing is that I could possibly upgrade my phone and give her my current phone. I currently have a t-mobile hercules galaxy s2 and I love it. I have owned it for 8 months and its just been so great. Never had an issue and then flashed a rom that made it perfect.
I don't know what to do... should I upgrade and get the Samsung Galaxy s3 and give my younger sister my S2?? She is 15 and I was planning on giving her the Blaze 4G but the development for that phone is rubbish.
She has saved 150 for her new phone so I would just have to pay the rest.
What would you do?
Edit: Can I somehow transfer my text messages from my s2 to my s3 with titanium backup???????
Get the s3
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Ditch the s2 mate. The s3 is better in every way possible. Actually the one thing I think the t989 wins in is aesthetics. The s3 is a bad ass phone but I don't like the way it looks. To me it looks like a miniature Samsung TV.. and I think Samsung TVs are ugly. Just my 2 cents lol
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
If you can get an s3 for (effectively) $40, go for it. While I'm happy with my s2, I wanted the s3. I just couldn't justify the extra $120 over the s2.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
Let me start off by saying the s3 is a great phone Ive had 3 of them but if you look at them wrong you will break the glass. Im very careful with my phones but somehow i managed to break 2 of the screens in 2 weeks. Do a search on it, it seems to be a real common thing. Also development is a little slow for it, seems like the tmobile version is like the red headed step child of the variants. I ended up selling the 3rd one I got and came back to the s2 with no regrets.
S3 looks terrible and is fragile. Though it does have advantages I still like my s2 better

I agree with the stepchild reference. If you can get an S3 just get it and enjoy your new toy. Quite sure if you dont like it you can switch out with your family member.

How do you figure the T-Mobile version is like the red headed stepchild out of the variants? It's the only one who's had a JB leak thus development is picking up rapidly.

The tmobile s2 is the read headed stepchild of its variants. The tmobile s3, on the other hand, is the same as its variants. But it has had a JB leak so it has better development than the others.

Funny how we were saying the same thing about the tmobile vibrant (original galaxy s and only variant to not get gingerbread). For whatever reason, Samsung and t mobile have a history of treating their galaxy variants like red headed stepchildren.

I uhhh.. find that very hard to believe. The CPU in the iPhone 4s and upcoming i5 run circles around the old s3 chip in this phone. Not trying to defend Apple or anything but the CPU in the t989 is a boat compared to the normal exynos 4 in the other GSIIs.

I've got the same debate going on in my head and it's compounded by my sons (both CompE grads) urging me to get the Nexus 4. I've been enamored with the Note, since the original came out. I'll get the N2 on the 9th and use it for 3-4 days. I'll know at that time, whether it's the right one for me. If not, I'll return it and get the Nexus.
didnt they leave LTE off the nexus 4? That's a dealbreaker for me

Where did you get the unlock code?
I sell phones. I play with both and own a note 2. It's a personal thing, but if you are a power user, which I think you are because you are on XDA then you will LOVE the Note II. Once you use it you can't go back.
* The screen is so much better and brighter than SG3.
* jellybean and 1.6GHz Quad Core processor makes everything buttery smooth
* watching youtube videos are stunning in HD
* extra large screen is great for gaming! especally on emulators.
* Using it as a E-Reader for my Kindle App Books work superbly well as the screen is the size of a small paperback book page

Before X-Mas of 2013
I can Guarantee it WILL be before X-Mas 2013, the S4 just got the update so I'm sure we (Note 2 T-Mobile) are nexted, so it shouldnt be much longer, sh%t if the S3 already got the update we are definitely getting it SOONNNN..!!!! ))))

Samsung hasn't been real good on the update game for a while now, T-Mobile... ehh. The fact that it's finally is in the pipeline surprises me tbh. If it wasn't for my love for my note 2 I would be back on nexus devices... the battery on these phones, SD slot and screen size are just to nice to turn away from, been looking hard at the nexus 5 but still haven't been able to pull the trigger.

The microsd card is the only thing keeping me away from the Nexus line. If I could get a 64GB phone I would loose the microsd. Also love the large screen. Guess I will have to stick with the Note series.

dont buy it. i bought it and sold it in 2 weeks and lost money and i could care less.
POS compared to the note 2 in every way. it was smooth as butter, other then that it sucked.

Not to go off topic, but what were the downsides if you don't mind me asking?

the screen was small, the camera sucked, the speaker was soooo low which was probably the worst part. lack of multiwindow was killing me and i missed my spen. AOSP is just too boring IMO.
also the front camera was a POS as well.
the only nice thing on the hardware side was the screen and the snapdragon 800 chip
