Holiday season is coming up and a lot of people are getting a new phone. Personally, there are two contenders that I'm still trying to decide on which to get. The nexus 4 and the lg Optimus g on sprint. Both awesome phones but which one do you guys recommend?

Yup its this great on stock unrooted. I really havent had a reason to root yet and Samsung actually nailed it with the stock touchwiz launcher and the features and s-pen is really great but battery was the big thing that made me jump on to this phone I really got tired of carrying my charger or extra batteries around to me its just stupid and if your going on a trip there's a 8500mah battery witg a nice looking door that doesn't make the phone look to bulky lol one person showed a pic there in the forums getting like 3 to almost 4 days without charging.

Another vote for the GNII from a previous E4GT owner, even though it's not being considered by OP. Have fun getting updates from LG if you decide to go with the Optimus G.

yea I thought about getting the note 2 but its a little to big. that's why I want the GS3. but between the nexus and optimus I would go with nexus for pure 4.2 and I assume it has a big support community.
Thought the bootloader on the Opt G is locked...?
Anyhow, whichever you decide - can I make a suggestion?
I'm in support of the idea of getting Agat another E4GT for kernel work.
If you're willing to that would be IMHO a great use for the phone.
(Assuming you're not handing it down to someone else, of course...)
I would go for the nexus 4 just for stock android. And lte doesn't matter for me because I get around 13mbps down here

Just pre-ordered mine $199 + $50 google wallet credit so $150 total not bad. The EVO has a bigger screen but the sealed battery is a deal breaker. I hate the TWiz stuff so I don't think the SGS3 will be too much better, if at all. It will have a better Camera I'm sure.
Nah... I'll have to pass. I always wanted a Nexus device, but this one is just way too inferior for me to invest in. I'll definitely wait for the SG3 when that comes out.

I was just about the post the $50 credit for Google Wallet. I wonder if Sprint will allow me to push an early upgrade out of it? I may just have to buy it from someone else with my E4GT and some cash, but overall, I really want it. lol
So my line with the e4gt is ready for a upgrade and my wife line that she said I can have her upgrade will be ready in august. So I'm thinking about trading my e4gt for the nexus due to more rom support, then use my wife upgrade for the sg3.
Don't know what to do!
im getting one too!!! using my girls upgrade to her the evo one, and gonna buy a sgs3 at launch

The good ol' hand me downs. If you're really that adamant on getting the SGS3, you may aswel hold out for it, so you're not stuck with a phone for 2 years. There will be another phone in the next year you'll want, and you'll be out of upgrades if you use them both this year.

i dont know if you're joking, trolling, or stupid. sgs3 will be better than the nexus in every aspect. seriously, touchwiz means nothing because it can be removed anyways, and the stock rom can be replaced with AOSP too.

Thought it'd be a fun experiment to run benchmark test on The best dev backed up phone vs one of the top 2 android device to date, benchmarks are not to be taken too seriously as they are not to reflective of real world usage, plus some of you may say this test is un-fair becuase thr gs3 running 4.0.4 and g-nexus running 4.1... non the less your thoughts and opinions are all welcome!

I agree with you on the aosp... but even still the nexus in thoroughly defeated by the GS3 in my opinion and I'm not just referring to just hardware .... anything you can pit against a phone(except timely updates) the GS3 take the nexus down... in fact I made a video on it ... check it out and tell me what you think..

I stick with the nexus because of the updates and dev community. Spec wise it murders but the developmental on t mobile phones are so slow the nexus is the only way to get the experience i want. I almost bought a gs3. I went to the gd3 forum looked at the cm10 thread and there where alot of issues. I dont want to have to deal with that.
that got a little side tracked sorry

As you can see, the gnex benches at roughly half the score of the s3 on antutu, so there's no point in "racing" them. The gnex' other benefits more than make up for this though, IMO. Just my two cents.
Here's to hoping the next Samsung nexus device is just the s3 with aosp

Benchmarks don't tell the real story ... GNex is far from being a slow phone and the Galaxy s3 is bloated with useless features and software.

To be fair, devices in stores for demonstration are laggy for the most part. The Galaxy Nexus as well, it's not a proper way of "demoing" the phone.
It depends on what model you actually have. If its the quad s3(international i9300) you made a worst decision of your life and to sum it all up Almost all the famous devs are there.

Happy with my GNexus. Played with an S3 and didn't like the feel, or the physical buttons. Plus you can't beat stock ROM even if there are ways to get AOSP on the S3 it's not the same.

Same experience here. Thoroughly tested the S3 already and the GNex definitely feels smoother and gives an overall beter user experience.
And as said before not everyone who buys an android smartphone can be assed rooting their phone, flashing roms, backupping everytime. It's very nice that it's possible to do with android but it should not be an obligation whilst buying a smartphone.. It should work perfect out of the box, and that's exactly what the GNex does and any other android phone manufacturer fails to do.

If the s3 isnt enough for you, then nothing will be. You will be looking to trade the note2 in a few months too. Don't be about keeping up with Jones's. The S3 is getting 4.1.2 also (with all of the note2 features) soon anyway, not to mention aosp 4.2 is being developed as well. Don't be silly.

adding $250 is too much, max should be 180 dollars...and he can get decent speeds if there's 1900mhz setup by T-mobile... but, if you got cash to burn then go for way it..I think you already made up your mind anyways....
Int'l Note 2 goes for like $617 brand new, whereas the GS3 is like $540. $250 and you might as well polish his nob.

Really ? Just a bigger version ? So the exynos processor and the increased real estate is nothing ? Believe me there are some artsy folks who can't do half the stuff they do on a GS3. I am one of those people. The increased size is something big enough (pun) to upgrade to. I have had several original Notes and several GS3s. I always find myself in awe of the shear beauty of the Notes screen compared to the GS3. The Note 2 even more so.

Please correct me, but I thought he said he wanted to get a international Note II, instead of the USA version. Won't that mean he'll only get 3g speeds? If that's so, than why not get the USA version? Is the S3 he has the international version too?

Sorry, my bad. Thank you for the correction.
I skipped same deal before. I guess you cant run 4g on international version. So its not worth it. On edge our phone will be like crap speed.
And 250 adds on is crazy sh!t. I was asked 200 bucks and his/her phone was brand new too; but still I said no.

If Samsung puts the 5.7 inch screen in the current frame, then I will get it. If they go bigger, then I will have to pass... I can not see myself walking around with anything larger then my current SGN2.

I was reading that the screen is going to be 5.99 inches thats still a good size if they go any bigger it would be consider a tablet so they wanna stay under 6 inches then it would still be in the category as a phablet.

I'm just hoping they get rid of the real plastic feel off the phone and go with a metal case
5.5 inches is just about right. If they go any bigger, then i'm throwing some moolah LG G2's way just to see what that's about. Heard rumors of 5.7 inches and 5.99 inches which is just pushing it for me. A friend of mine in the U.K got the Galaxy Mega 6.3 inch and jeebus, that thing is huge and just weird. Also saw a video comparison of the Sony Xperia ZL 6.4 inches vs the Note 2 and lawd, that thing was massive.
No, 5.5 inches is enough for me.
I also am planning on getting myself a SGN3!! I really hope we get the octo core version

I have seen the galaxy mega but does anyone in the states have it, nope, so why couldn't the mega be a test to see how a bigger phone is liked

Im not saying it can't, I actually want the mega, I was in agreeance with what you said, probably came out the wrong way, but I'm sure there's a select few that have it here, I mean, you can order one pretty easily, I was tempted to order one, but a last, not compatible with sprint

Then you're going to be disappointed. Latest rumor is that the octa Exynos is for non-LTE handsets.
I'm not tempted at all. Love my N2 with AOSP on it.
