Is the galaxy nexus an over-all better device than the one s? Need to know so I can make up my mind over which to buy!
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA
I think it is, if you like roms then the galaxy nexus will always have better development. I love the nexus I have had lots of high end phones and this is my favorite. I like the on screen buttons and how you can change them and the color. Good luck

Get the nexus. One S is garbage I played with it at the T-Mobile store by my housrle and was not impressed one bit... screen was disappointing. Sense 4 was disappointing... pretty much everything about it was sad. My old sensation was better than it in every way I could think of and my gnex is better than my sensation in every way so make the wise decision and get the nexus

So biased. The One S is a great device. It is snappier than the galaxy nexus even with sense 4, which isn't even that bad.

To be short with words, Nexus! I would juist choose it for the 720p display!

The nexus has better screen size (4.65"), resolution (720p) and development.
The One S has better processor (dual-core s4) and custom hardware (image sense).
So it depends on what you want.
nexus vs one x i would understand. but why go one s unless you really want a smaller form factor.
honestly... i like most high end androids. but its always the nexus for me. stock android is the best... in my opinion at least.
id still take my galaxy nexus over the galaxy s3 or the one x. heck.. i never got tempted to replace my nexus one until the nexus s came out. but i finally jumped when the galaxy nexus got released.
if you like sense.. go for the one x. if you like smaller phones then go for the one s. go get the galaxy s3 if you can wait for that. but look at it this way... would you want the next iteration of android the soonest? if you wanna get jelly bean this year then there is no other choice but the galaxy nexus.

I have both the galaxy nexus for a month on sprint and the HTC one s that I got like 3 days ago from T-Mobile . And I got to say I was surprised with sense (haven't used it since Evo 3D) and is not bad Camera is much better and screen well it depends on you the one s screen you can defimetely see pixels (specially after having the Gnex) but the look of the phone is nice (really nice and thin) and the gnex screen is beautiful (If you don't keep starting at white backgrounds ) is hard deduction I'm selling my Gnex to get money to buy a GSM version ho only cause of roms and that's what it comes too rom community on Gnex doesn't compare to htc one s and I don't think it ever will so yeah . Good luck !

Not being biased when I was mainly comparing it to my old sensation. Nexus aside. If I were going straight to tmobile for a phone I wouldn't see the advantage in getting the one s over the sensation. To me the sensation screen looks better feels better in your hand and the one s cones in silver/grey with panzy blue trim on it. It was snappy but not an improvement over previous HTC models. Just disappointed with the one series is all. Nothing but hype

No Gnex does not feel cheap it feel like a great device specially with the on screen nav buttons camera is not bad but ain't great and the One S I think it has a better camera overall specially woth moving shots(with tryig out with my 2 year old and pets ) . one s feels better after a while the unibody design and thin part makes it look good. I would be happy with etheir one but the best options for rooters is Galaxy nexus IMO for other might be the one s

I would choose the GN over the One S. Tue ability to stay contract free appeals to me. Also, the bigger screen with better resolution is a no-brainer to me. The One S feels nice in hand and high quality. The GN is no slouch either. While it is plastic, it feels nice and has good heft. Just my .02.

I would rather use both the phones and buy the one which I feel like buying.
Has anyone recently gotten a new Nexus without the problems with the screen such as the purple tint, banding, inaccurate colors and grainy whites? I just got an S3 and the screen is definitely better than that of my old Nexus but I'm thinking of going back to the Nexus but I prefer the phone with a better screen lol.

My replacement phone from January is perfect. I am aware thats the luck of the draw though, considering my wife's phone is definitely NOT perfect.
My replacement Nexus (2 weeks old) is perfect. I can't believe I went that long with a bad nexus.

Apparently if you get one with a serial number of C5 or higher there is a very good chance you will get one with a goof screen.

I just got mine yesterday and I have mad ghosting (usually from the keyboard). I was at the at&t store yesterday and the screen in the display GS3 looked nicer. I don't have any banding issues. The color temperature is closer to that of my Lumia 800 (slightly yellow whites, very vibrant blues) than my finally retired Nexus One (first gen AMOLED, very high K whites, almost blue, washed out reds).
Where can I check the serial number?

Hard to draw a conclusion
We have 4 Gnexes, and two of them have gone back to Samsung for new screens, so I guess we've had 6 screens all told. I don't think I can draw a conclusion based on build date...
My son has the oldest of the 4, and his screen is nice.
Mine is the next oldest, and the screen was good from day-1, and the newly installed (dropped it) screen is really good.
My daughter's is 2nd newest, and her screen is OK, but not as good as mine. Hers got a new screen before my wife got her phone, and that one is OK, too.
My wife's phone is the newest (march or April?) (with the exception of my replaced screen), and has looked dreadful the whole time, but she doesn't seem to mind it.
My phone is 3 weeks old now. I have no 'grainy' things going on. I do have banding with the color 'grey'. I tested it with the app called 'LCD TEST' free from Google Play. I tested every color and I only got banding with the color 'grey'. The rest looks ridicilously good!
I do have to say that my Old Omnia II with an Amoled screen was good. I could see the pixels easily. (3.7", 800x480)
I can also see the pixels on my Galaxy NEXUS with ease. But these pixels are way smaller but still noticeable. Because of that the screen does not look as sharp as I thought it'd be. But still it looks WAY better than my Omnia II's Amoled screen. Also blows the Galaxy S' screen away (which I've compared my Galaxy NEXUS to)
So it seems the screens issues are really just a hit and miss. I wish they would use the same screen tech they use in the S3 :/ I'm missing jelly bean but I don't want to go from a better screen to one with problems ...decisions decisions lol

I received my Nexus on July 6th from the playstore. The screen looks fantastic to me. Blacks are black, as for whites I'm not sure what grainy is really supposed to mean. I don't think there's any graininess.
It's as if the colors and the screen pops more up while ours looks great but not as popped up and more in depth and concave sort of way. As if there is a grainy screen that's all like gauss covering the screen. Why did they opt for a cheaper crappier screen on the GNex?

Yes, the SGS3's screen is also pentile, note the lack of plus at the end of Super AMOLED HD.
Different colour profile, different Q/A requirements (Have you noticed that there is very little black in touchwizz UX, maybe to avoid the low brightness blacks become purple issue).
Tweaks made to the panels and manufacturing process after doing them in blunk for the gnexus?
All of the above?
Your guess is as good as mine

You do realize this link is irrelevant to the topic at hand, right?
Anyway, I have had my phone next to my friends S3 and with the color tweaks on the GNEX I did not notice any difference. Stock GNEX screen, sure it looks horrible. My GNEX looks 10x better then any stock GNEX screen as well.
I would say quality control. Samsung took the time to perfect the S3's colors. I love my screen and it's vibrant and all that. Granted I've never compared the two.

Try it. Screen of GNex looks way better than SGS3!
SGS screens are poorly calibrated. Over saturated, over sharpened, etc.
Some people apparently like that.

Agreed.
Believe it or not there is a point where too much saturation is bad. It starts to look entirely unnatural. I'm happy where the saturation levels are at with my Nexus currently, still more vibrant than any LCD screen, but not to the point where everything looks like someone took the saturation dial and cranked it to max.

So I sold my S3 (which I really regret) in anticipation for the N4. I couldn't get one on launch and theyve been sold out in the UK play store ever since.
I'm kind of glad I didn't get one now. I was always concerned about teething issues and 16gb bothered me.
Today I decided to get a GN off eBay as a stop gap. Besides the camera, it is a wonderful device. I like the build and I love the pure black front. I'm also a sucker for amoled screens. I've used my brothers one fairly extensively and with 4.2 it seems like a really "complete" device.
My plan is to keep the GN for around 6 months. At that point I'm hoping Google are going to do an N7 and release a 32gb model. Only at that point will I pick an N4 up.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting it, and for the first time since my S1, having a device which I can run 100% working AOSP rooms on.

Cool story
I think you'll really like it. I've had mine for about 3 weeks - got it for a steal on eBay right after the Nexus 4 was announced. When I got it, it looked completely unused.
Anyway, even the camera doesn't bother me. It's as good as any other cell phone camera I've ever used though I suppose it's not the best out there (HTC or Nokia most likely have those). Still what I use my phone camera for is stuff that winds up downsized on Facebook anyway. If I want to take nice photos, that's what my Canon EOS T3 is for.
Yea it is not a bad decision. The camera really does not bother me at all because it actually takes great pictures. Overall it is the software mix with the mp that produce great shots so the 5mp only sounds bad but quality is pretty good imo. The development is amazing as well with all the new 4.2.1 Roms coming out
Also depends on how much you got the gnex for thou?

You are part of the problem this site faces. Such an ignorant and useless post for absolutely no reason. If you don't like a thread/post simply move on and don't be a jerk!
To the OP I gave my wife my S3 and took my old GNex back from her. She hated the battery life of the GNex and I hated not having the latest version of Android lol. All in all the GNex is a great phone I just wish I could get the battery to last a bit longer.

cool story bro. lolololol
I am in the exact same place as the OP. I sold my white S3 to buy N4 but after 10 days w/o a decent phone bought a brand new GNex.
Actually I do not regret of selling the S3. I really love the pure android.
I tried CM in s3 and it was buggy as hell.
I will go for an N4 but gnex is a remarkable phone. Period
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Thanks guys you've certainly reassured me.
I think I've made a good decision for the meantime. I played with stock 4.2 on the gnex and I absolutely loved it. Android has come so far from eclair, which is what I started on.
And I don't care what anyone says about amoled, the pure black with saturated neon blue on the gnex is sexy as hell.
Only thing is gaming, but for anything serious I much prefer to use the N7. I'm sure the gnex will cut it for temple run etc!
I can see myself becoming a serial flasher again lol.

I totally agree. I hear a lot of people *****ing about the displays on this phone, but I have to disagree, especially after a minor color tweak. Punchy colors (but not too punchy), super dark blacks, 320ppi (pentile be damned it still looks great)..I find myself just staring at my home screen sometimes which features a city scape at night recolored with a rainbow like effect, it just really shows all the strengths of this screen.
Certain shades of gray are the weakness, but I rarely encounter them, and the rest of the time it just looks great, so I really don't care.

sell gnex then buy iphone = 1 less fanboi on xda??
I sat a couple of days ago with a N4 in my cart, with a ship date of 1-2 weeks...but something just didn't seem right to me. It was $350 I didn't really have to blow, but I really needed to get something going because my company is kicking everyone off their Verizon corporate plan at the end of the month.
I've been a Galaxy S I (Fascinate) user for the past 2 years, and I wanted to stay with a Galaxy family. I have been researching using a GSM GNex for T-Mobile Prepaid. So, I bailed on the N4, with the hopes that I could find a good deal on a GNex (I knew I could get a "like new" one from Amazon for $300).
Then my Fascinate died. My Galaxy S1 that I've babied and taken such good care of it's whole life....now in a endless bootloop with no USB access whatsoever to flash anything new to it. Oh well, I was going to have to send it back to corporate next week anyway. Still, I haven't been without a mobile for more than a day in a long time.
Somehow luck was on my side. The very next day, a local man posted his "like new in box" GSM Gnex for $200, and I pounced. Met him during his 2nd shift workbreak and bought it immediately. Got it home and shoved my T-Mobile SIM in there, and completed the activation and number port online. Took them about 8 hours (overnight) to port my number from the corporate plan.
I'm thrilled with my decision. I love the look, feel and quality of the GNex..and the step up in speed and smoothness from my Fascinate (that was running CM10 nightlies) is immense! I'll probably end up using this for a year or two and pick up one of the next generation Nexus phones (maybe a Google/Motorola Nexus?), skipping the LG N4.

Really? You think I haven't used a retina iphone? I have, quite a bit. Yeah, it's good, but bleh color and bleh black level, and come on, minuscule in size. Way worth the tradeoff of pentile thanks, especially at these resolutions. I would agree with the old 480x800 pentiles, but 320 ppi is damn small, and the downsides to pentile are hard to see at best. So, in the real world the Nexus screen imo looks much better.
Especially while looking at pictures or watching movies. The GNex is amazing compared to iphone 4's 'it's sharp but meeh'.
Hello guys i'm planing to buy a Note II this week. I've heard that the display of Note II is almost awful. So I Google'd it a little and found some comparisons between One X, S3 and some others and yes Note II was the worst (the source: http://gizmodo.com/5960289/htc-droid-dna-vs-iphone-5-and-everyone-else-whos-got-the-best-display) I know next years phones will come with 1080p and high ppi but Note II is great too. I've a Galaxy S and i'm pretty bored of it.. so should i wait for something like Galaxy S4 to come out or should i buy a Note II right away? Thanks..
when s4 is released, note3 will be around the corner............so no matter what you wait for, something more superlative will be announced.........
right now, note2 is the best phone out there..you want it or not is your choice

The article is stupid.
Note 2 has the same resolution as OneX, so if you rescale the dpi (or the font size inside the browser), the sharpness will be no difference compared to OneX, and texts are bigger. With smaller texts, a little bit paying off in sharpness and you have more words in a page, and still pretty readable.
OK, DNA is perfect, but "worst" here is like comparing an core i7 computer to a core i5 computer running Super Mario Bros.

Really!! Side by side with my iphone 4 on the same web page at normal veiwing distance and the text looks practically as sharp as each other. The only difference is the colour tones. Oh, and the fact that I dont have to squint to see everything on my note 2 screen
How about going into a shop and looking for yourself. The note 2 screen is far from awful.

as for S4, it could take another quarter or two until Samsung releases it given the still very successful run of their S3 now sporting 2GB Ram and LTE. which would be spec'd out by the Note III... next thing you know, it's this time of the year 2013!
Buy the Note II and start enjoying it NOW. :good:
Back on topic, I have had the note 1 previously and currently own the one x and the note 2. Yes one x screen is superior but I also absolutely love the note 2 screen. It's extremely good.
Anyone saying otherwise is talking out of their "behind".
P. S I also had the s3 (albeit for a week) , and the note 2 screen blows it out of the water.

Back to OP, as you can see I've had the Note II, the SIII and the One X. The Note II has a goodish screen but very washed out in viewing angles. The best screen I have had is the One X as it has the true HD screen.

I love One X. My friend have one and i've had it for 1 week i must say it was the best screen i've seen on a phone. It's very powerful too but 1gb of ram is just not enough for a heavy ui such as Sense.

Note 2 display is the best in terms of overall quality. HTC is the best in sharpness.
Now, at >10cm, both are the same in sharpness, unless you look at it through a microscope. Now, in terms of color representation, the Note 2 has the crown.
So, TLDR? Same sharpness if at >10cm from the phone, and better color reproduction in the Note 2.

Sense 4+ works well one the 1GB RAM. Its well worth getting the One X. Even installing AOSP it'll work well

My screen doesnt get washed out when veiwing at an angle, but it does get a slight blue tint which is common with amoled screens.

Mine gets washed out, pink tinge on a white background and a blue tint but i wouldnt say thats a flaw as thats a AMOLED think like you said. I had the N7105 EE LTE version. maybe a faulty model? but i had 3 of them and all had this problem
The note screen is good, but you can see the pixels from normal viewing whereas the one x or s3 they're hardly noticeable. But its still a good phone
according to the logic of the article.
50 inch 1080p TVs are worse thab 35 inch 1080p TVs.

Yeah 50" TV would be worse as the PPI would be much lower.

No, end of year for Note 3 just like Note 2 came out much later than S3.
