Convince me to buy the GNex

5 months into my 2 year contract with my S2 and running Cyanogenmod 9. I really like AOSP and wish I got the Galaxy Nexus. Right now, I can sell the S2 for £240 and get the GNex for £370. But I can't justify the £130 difference. All I would get is a working camcorder and and an amazing screen for poorer battery life, camera and no sd support.
Convince me.

Don't buy it, especially if you need convincing to actually buy it :-/.

Worst phone ever. The screen is too small, and the battery can never get me through a four a day voyage without my charger.

How was it...
oh yeah, don´t feed the troll!
Nah, seriously... there is already a lot of information and comparatives between both phones... so... just take a little time researching and you´ll find your answer.

You're making the biggest in your entire life to buy this phone! why do you need it in the first place?
NOTE : before buying it , prepare your Funeral first and then the extra remaining money , you can use it to buy the Gnex because after buying it you may have a heart attack!!

Anybody asking to be convinced to buy anything, might also like being told what to do. Get an iphone.

Convince yourself and and if the gnex isn't for you then good luck

There are a lot of threads in this forum about the pros and cons of this phone and comparing it to the gs2. If you don't have enough patience to find them, please don't buy the phone.

It's a good phone.

Wow. So much flaming and name calling. I've done my research, I know the difference between the Spec sheets. I just wanted to get an idea about how people are liking the galaxy nexus, the daily user experience, battery life, build quality, stock ics, the screen and so on. Instead I got lots of sarcasm.
OK I get the main idea. Mods feel free to close thread.

i had an S2 and sold it earlier in the year as i got a free Xperia Ray which i thought i'd be happy with but yesterday i got a really good deal on a mint Nexus.. and i couldnt be happier. Battery life seems pretty much consistent with my S2, i left it charged over night, took it off charge at 6.15 and im at 52% now, thats with listening to music on the way to work and some web browsing and probably a little more than average playing with it as its new. I am pretty happy with that. The Ray for such a small phone was actually worse for me in terms of battery life.. maybe it was the widgets etc I had installed.
As for advantages over the s2? for me its the missing Samsung logo from the front never liked that.. and there is a nice feeling to knowing its a 'pure' android experience.. my S2 was full of bloatware that could only be deleted by rooting. I dont take pictures really with the phone so im not in anyway dissapointed with the camera on the nexus. It is a little bulkier than the s2 but i like the shape and feel.. i cant imagine using a bigger phone though.. its the full of my hand when holding it..
in terms of performance i cant see there being much in it between the s2 and this..
Its all down to individual preference really.. a few s2 owners i've showed it to say they would miss the physical home button etc.. and the headphone socket on the bottom means you need to turn it upside down in your shirt pocket..
Also the lack of sd slot is a downside.. i dont mind it.. but it would have been nice to have the option to stick a 32gb card in there.. or at least make 32gb the standard internal memory..
So far no complaints..

Smaller Galaxy Nexus

I previously had a Nexus S but it can get a little laggy on ICS and so I upgraded to a Galaxy Nexus. First of all, I absolutely love it! Super quick and I can have nearly 30 apps open without the phone slowing down. The most useful feature I've found is the face unlock.
What I don't love is the size of the phone.
Is there a phone that is like the Galaxy Nexus but smaller like the Nexus S? And for GSM carriers like T-Mobile?

The Nexus S lol. Seriously it is just the smaller Galaxy Nexus. Your options get limited when you're on T-Mobile too (not many phones support AWS). Even if you were on AT&T there aren't any phones similar other than the SGSII, and that's about the same size.

I agree tbh, the GNex is pushing the upper limit of acceptable phone size and the Nexus S still has the best in-hand fit. Unfortunately the trend is for the phones with the best hardware to also have the biggest screens because it's a wow factor. You might want to look at the HTC One S though.

Factory unlocked used iPhone 4 (not 4s) run about the same price as a new non-contract phone.
Anyways if you have a friend on AT&T ask them to unlock an iPhone for you.
Starting tomorrow 4/8 AT&T said they will unlock iPhones if asked.

This is my main gripe when considering the iPhone! Just like how iPhone users are reluctant to switch because they are tied down to iTunes and Apple services, I'm reluctant to switch because I'm tied to a lot of Google's services like Google Voice and Gmail.
Honestly, as a user of Gmail, Gmail on Android has provided me with the best email experience I've ever had on a mobile device.
I'm going off topic but I just wish the Galaxy Nexus was a tad bit smaller! It would be a perfect phone.

Having just bought an iPad, I do miss all the Google services on Android.

About 3 days now. I know that, reading everywhere, the size will take some time getting used to but the size just doesn't seem practical to me. For example, wearing gym shorts without pockets forces you to carry the phone in your hand. Given the Galaxy Nexus's size, it almost looks as if I am carrying around a mini-tablet.
I wish there were variants of the same phone, like the Galaxy Tab with 10 and 7-inch options. Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Nexus Mini -- now wouldn't that be great.

Shorts without pockets. Where would you keep a non galaxy nexus device??
In your sock?

Seems awkward to carry around a phone as big as the Galaxy Nexus in your hands, as opposed to an iPhone or Nexus S.

Well you know what they say about people with small hands...

Me in a nutshell.

I have average sized hands so this phone is great for me. Perfect size and it makes the ladies panties drop and iPhone users drop their phones.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Smaller!? Lol... Oh he'll no. I'd like it to be a tad heavier, maybe even a 4.8" screen. Well that's in my case. I'm gonna get a case to add a little weight to it. I have big hands and coming from a Galaxy Note doesn't help my case much haha. But after a few days the phone seems perfect size. Not too small like a S2 and not borderline big like a Note.
Having a Galaxy Note for a month messed me all up. The Galaxy Nexus felt small at first but am now adjusted to the size. I could one hand type on the Note and obviously easily can on the Nexus.

At&t Note 2 vs At&t Htc One X+

What do you guys think overall?

I had a One X. Couldn't wait to get a Samsung device. My reasons are:
No locked boot loader
Much larger community on XDA
MicroSD slot
Samsung's "cheap" plastic is far more durable than people give them credit for
I like Android updates (faster)
LED notification light that can be seen when not staring directly at the device
Multitasking
TouchWiz >>> Sense (whole other rant could be inserted here)
I actually want some of the kitschy TouchWiz features like smart stay, pop up play, codec support up the wazoo, and S Beam now that I am the only one in my extended family without a S III
These reasons geared me to the Note II vs the GS III
The silly-huge battery
5.5" screen isn't that much of an adjustment, but nice for pictures and videos
Multi-view (two apps simultaneously), but rumor has it GS III will get this on JB
S Pen
AT&T price matched $199, so price isn't too different
It boils mostly down to a bunch of little personal preferences. I've used plenty of devices by different brands, and Samsung keeps reeling me in. This could change in the future, but for right now, the Note II is the only device I want.
Sent from my Note II

i had to try out the X+ so i bought it (full price) to compare against my SGS3 & GN2. (READ: mitigate my disappointment of not getting a Nexus 4 at launch). IMO, the SGS3 and GN2 features/benefits (replaceable battery, battery life, call quality, in-call volume, etc.) were more appealing to me. the X+ is sexy as hell (all black looks friggin hot), has the HTC build quality and a lovely screen. it's fast, fluid and feels good in the hand. but...
battery life did not meet my expectations.
call quality was not good (to my ears) - there was a noticeable hiss
call volume was much lower compared to the SGS3 and GN2
i could easily manage with #1 but not in conjunction with #2 and/or #3. that's too much of a compromise for me. i'm on the phone 2-4 hours a day and call quality and volume (especially the Samsung volume boost feature) is important and better on the Samsungs.
as always, YMMV; this is my subjective view on the device.

Non-removable battery and lack of MicroSD = me not interested.
Of course the LARGE screen, S pen and multi-view are why I bought the Note II.
But One X+ is a nice device with an awesome screen.

Lack of Micro SD is not that big an issue since the X+ has 64GB internal storage, but still no match for the Note 2 though. N2 FTW

I got the Optimus G then the Note 2 and now HTC one X+
Optimus G very nice phone (locked bootloader)
Galaxy Note 2 again very nice (took big)
Now the One X+ Best looking phone (gets very hot and battery drains)
They are all top of the line phones these are the things I noticed.
Sent from my HTC One X+ using xda premium

I was in the same boat when deciding which quad core phone to pick up.
First I was set on the one x plus... but no removable storage is kind of a setback. That's one of the better things about android devices is that option. Then I read about the Optimus G. Reviews came back negative and reading about LG phones turned me off.
The note 2 sold me on these things:
1. At&t left it alone. All they did was add LTE chip.
2. Samsung devices rock. Loved my GS2. Blackjack before that was awesome (for the time).
3. Battery life. Not having to worry about it dieing before a full days use is nice.
Now yes the size is something to get used to... but once you do you won't go back lol.
Just my 2 cents.
On a side note if the GS3 was a quad core phone on AT&T like international version I would have grabbed it.

Our note 2 next to samsung's newest 'phablets' the "mega"

So I saw this article of size comparisons between phones, most notably the new Samsung phones named "mega" 5.8 and 6.3 respectively.
Does this mean that the note 3 is NOT going to be coming in the 6.3 flavor, and all the fuzz about the samsung bluetooth controller supporting "up-to 6.3" devices was just for this new "mega" phablet?
Look at the pics and tell me what you guys think.

Yes I didn't want to compare the mega phones to ours, as ours has better specs, but I DID want to show what maybe a future note 3 might look like, in the sense that there was a probability that it would be 6.3 inches.
With that said, I used to think that 6.3 was not going to be much bigger than our phones, but looking at the pictures says otherwise. I am a big guy 6'1 and I don't think it would be practical to have such a big phone.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I hope the Note 3 looks just like that. The 6.3" one. I think it looks awesome.

The manager at T-Mo said that the rumor is that the N3 will be 6.4 almost an inch bigger than the N2. She also said to expect it really soon in a couple of months...

Depending on price and frequencies, I'd rock one as a small tablet on the TMobile $30 plan (using data only). It's a better price than any tablet plan. Worst case scenario it might work on the AT&T tablet plans. That's my backup if the TMobile plan gets pulled. I dislike voip but I dislike high bills even more.

I have my Nexus 7 got my tablet needs. No need to get any bigger of a phone. I already feel like a meathead walking around while talking on this phone. I couldn't imagine holding the 6.3 or rumored 6.4 Note. Just to big.
With that said, just get a Note, 8.0 that has built in phone capabilities.

No bigger for me. I just want faster performance and a better radio.

hopefully next SGS N3 will have bigger battery & better body design. we all know, how android is when it come to power mngmnt. picture of mega phablet on post #1 looks like a SGS N2 that'd been photoshoped. back button inverted. anyway, will display res size 1080p make real difference in daily use for average joe with smartphone ?

I giggle with confusion when people comment about users who talk on "big" devices, I chuckle in dismay when said owners of "big" devices say they "feel funny" talking on such a big device ............
-_-
Walking into a bar I hear "Is that a Note 2..... you're crazy that thing is too big"
In my head I would say .... ".... and you're out of line. ...^_^"...
Instead I did them one even better. ...I continued using my device and completely ignored him, in fact this is the first time I'm making reference to his comment and this was 10/12..... him and others can have a _/.... so many hypocrites and malnourished credulous followers. How do you get off saying a device screen is "too small"... yet later a device is "too big".. those sentiments are fine. ..however you missed the most important piece. . "For you".... get it ? The perfect device for you may not be the same for you. ..perhaps there are individuals who rather talk on a 10.1 in screen, while you prefer a smaller screen, why is either party concerned about the others preference? ??????? Irrelevant. Why voluntarily get a device or partake in something then speak negative and offer complaints, nobody forced you to get this phone. ..^_^

Really just makes me want a bigger Note. Now I just can't wait for the Note 3, since the Mega is a bit underpowered
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I prefer the larger screen on the Mega 6.3 but DPI is horrid. 1080P is a must these days. I don't mind the mid tier CPU since I don't game and prefer the longer battery life.

They didn't have a video, but the screen looks ok in the ubergizmo review's pictures.

G Pro or Wait?

Finally got my termination letter from Sprint and will be switching to ATT sometime this month. I want to get a "Phablet" I know the new G2 coming out has a smaller screen and the Note 3 is going to have a bigger screen (Don't want to pay $300 for it either). I've only got until the end of the month, I don't really keep up with the new things coming out, is there anything really worth waiting for?

It really depends on what you are looking for. HTC will have there Phablet out soon, but honestly I would still take the ogp over any phone that's coming out for the next 8 months or so, lol. I've had tons of phones and as far as the g pro goes, it's the best features of every phone I've came across so far

That's with 5+ hours of screen on time, mind you.
I'm not thinking there is another phone out there (Note series of phones included), that can pull off this kind of battery longevity. I didn't tweak ANYTHING. Only thing it has is the PAC ROM flashed.

It depends if you want customize your phone... I have had every phone under the sun and just keep coming back to the ogpro.. Its a good solid phone..

Picked them both up today and a tablet, paying the same price as sprint even with the tablet. So far service is SUPERIOR to Sprint. 4G at my house was unheard of yesterday. Went from 1 bar to Full. Text's seem to come through faster, calls are clear. Loving it so far. :good:

It's funny I just discussed this same thing with my gf yesterday in regards to keeping this phone or not. I too have had a lot of android phones from the HTC eris, original Droid, to the incredible, and GS3. ..and this phone is by far superior to all. Battery is the best I've ever experienced. I've tries iPhone, Windows phone, other androids....I love this phone even with the minimal development right now.

It's kind of an interesting contest. I really hate that you can't just have it all, but that's life. According to this list the G Pro is the clear winner for me, which is why a G Pro is making its way to me now from an eBay seller (I just had to save that extra $80 ).
If you care a lot about high-end gaming, the G2 is the definite way to go, no question. The battery life on the G2 is insane too, like mind-blowingly insane. If you're looking for a new kind of battery life experience people really haven't seen with a smartphone before (unless it was with a giant aftermarket battery), get the G2.
Otherwise, to me, the G Pro kind of takes the crown. I love huge screens (not Xperia Z Ultra huge, mind you lol) and on paper 5.2" sounds close enough, but those soft face buttons really steal a lot of real estate so it's not just 0.3" difference. The buttons pretty much only go away on video playback. I don't care about the graphics performance I lose by not going with the G2 since I'm only coming from a Galaxy Note N7000, but I really wish I could have the G2 battery life.

Cant really go wrong with this phone especially if you buy it out right I think it's the most bang for your buck. It's big it's fast it's very nicely designed we finally have some nice options for roms available plus it has removable battery and storage if you're into that sort of thing. Even on a stock rom the phone is solid rooted or not. I wish there were more accessories available like cases but I get by. I'm actually running my phone naked now and so far I haven't dropped it yet lol.
