I'm currently with Nexus S. I love it. The idea of google is issuing new phone excites me a lot and I like to sell my NS and buy GN.
After reading here and there about GN, I facing this question: does it really worth to upgrade from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Yes for me
I also own a Nexus S and will certainly upgrade to GN.
Why? Because I like Nexus device which gets update directly from Google.
Think about the future Android OS, Nexus S will definitely be updated (if hardware is sufficient).
If not, I must wait the forth Nexus ... which is when? ... end of 2012? 2013? NO WAY!
So, that's the reason ... if you like Nexus device, then get this GN!
If this is considered off-topic please tell me but I have a similar question just with my Desire HD.
I like the thought of getting the updates first etc. but I have only had it for a year.

It's a yr now that I've had a mt4g. Maybe 3 months I've had a sensation. Just sold the sensation to get the nexus. U only live once.
I'm kinda sure it worth upgrading. I trust google won't release new phone unless the future updates need new hardware. It seems that I want to find a way to convince myself to save some $$$ by not upgrading lol.
On Nexus S, I just wish for quicker shooting camera and better organizing for contacts relation with other app and history. I could understand that GN solved these two issues with a plus of dual core, better processor, and HD vedio.
Have I answered my self?! Lol

I think Google already said ICS is coming to the NS by the end of the year (hopefully they'll push to the OG T-Mobile NS first) so there's really no need to update unless you're like me and just have to have it. I doubt the reason they're making new phones is because of hardware issues with future updates. Aside from the camera shutter speed and the barometer, the NS is capable of doing all the stuff the GN is. I think they're just making one flagship phone per year designed around their new software to show off everything the software is capable of. The N1 was a call for manufacturers to put some actual decent performing parts into the phones (they heard that message almost too well if you ask me), the NS was more about usability and what to do with the better hardware. The GN seems to be all about hardware acceleration, making it more easy to use and also not skinning it like crazy.
At the end though, like someone already said the choice is yours to make.

The Nexus S will get ICS, and seeing as it has a Super AMOLED screen it is not worth the upgrade. Unless you plan to do dual core gaming, the Galaxy Nexus is not a huge update over the S. I would hold on and wait for the next one.

I own a GN but also have a Nexus S and a mint HTC G1.
I don't use the NS nor the G1, they just stay in the wardrobe, but I've always wanted to have a "collection" of phones. Now I have three I'm now thinking of what use they are and the value won't increase so what's the point ...
The GN does everything I need from a phone.
Would you sell the NS and G1 or hold on to them? My only niggle at the moment is I want an android tablet and need some funds.
Thanks

what relevance does that have to do with this thread? I personally think it's better but don't hijack the OP's thread.
I have the G1 & NS myself too. And a Vibrant but I gave that away.

You won't get much for a G1. Ironically, I still see people selling them for around $100 but I'd never buy one at that price. You can look to get $250-300 tops for your Nexus S. I wanted a phone collection too but decided that money over weighed having the collection. If you need cash and want a tablet, selling is probably your best bet. Just curious... what tablet were you wanting?

Well, I keep changing my mind. I wanted a Motorola Xoom but then the Asus T Prime came out so I wanted that. However, the prices are steep and I really don't know if its worth getting the latest android tablet (which is strange for me because I always have the latest phone). I just want something for movies and web browsing. I'm not really fussed about quad cores for gaming...BUT don't want to get a honeycomb tablet if its not getting ICS. I've seen the new Toshiba Excite etc but its a bit of a minefield...would welcome some suggestions but worried we are going off topic somewhat in a GN forum
Back to the phone collection - its looking like I might have to sell but the OCD part of my brain is saying have the collection. Its unfortunate I need the funds and having them tied up in something I'm not using seems silly if it means I go without something I want.

I usually sell for the quick cash. I keep my nexus one has backup and because its a colkectors phone. But sold my atrix.
Sell them while they're still worth something. I always keep one of the newest that I actually liked as a backup just in case. Gives you a bit more strength to mod when you have a backup plan.
If I were you I'd keep the G1 and sell the Nexus S. You should still get good money for the Nexus because of the recent Update to 4.0.3
I would keep one of them on hand as a backup. You might be in a position where your SGN dies, outside of the contract window, but you are waiting for something else to come out. Would be nice to have the option of going to a backup phone without having to pay for something to get you through to the next release.

I don't like the Xoom since it's screen is pretty washed out as opposed to the Transformer Prime. I like the look of the Toshiba Excite (and owned the Thrive) and expect Toshiba to do pretty well with updates. Hell, wait until the Asus Memo comes around and you'll have a quad core tablet for $249. I'm trying to hold out for it or I will jump on the Galaxy Tab 7.7

I usually sell/give away all my phones when I move on. Except for my G1. That is the grand daddy of all android phones and so i am keeping mine. I would suggest you do the same.
I owned both the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus at one point but had to let go of the Nexus S due to necessity. If I could, I'd collect all the Nexus line of smartphones.
I remember when I first held the Nexus S in my hand, the phone felt like a cute toy compared to my Galaxy Nexus, but i still miss The Little Train that Coukd.

OK after much deliberation I have decided to sell the NS and keep the G1.
The G1 is in pristine condition, like new, much better than my GNS so thought it best to keep the grandaddy!
The NS is on ebay and is ending tomorrow, currently at £97 with 36 watchers and 21 hours to go...
Now trying to decide on that tablet, I don't know what to get. I suppose its all about the look of the tablet and the internals because it WILL get rooted and run ICS so the OS is not important.
I would like to wait for the rumored Nexus tablet but we must be talking at least a Oct/Nov 12 release. I want one now!
wait for the transformer prime tf700t it's going to have 1920x1200 resolution and hopefully fix the wifi issue with the current prime. it's suppose to be release 2nd quarter so it should be soon.
That does look good!
I've decided to go for a Kindle Fire and root to put CM9 on. Use it for 6/7 months and hopefully by then the Nexus tab (or similar) will be announced. The Kindle hasn't cost me anything as the NS just sold for £185, which means I can save my money for later this year.
I can't warrant the price tags of quad core tablets at present.

I sold my Galaxy S2 yesterday so with the extra cash I acquired, I'm set on purchasing the Nexus since it always has insane developer support.
My only gripe is, I've been observing these forums for a while and I can't help but to see countless posts and many threads about problems with this phone.
I've read from phones boot-looping for no reason, screen issues, and other hardware defects that makes me wonder where Samsung's quality management has gone...
So I want to hear from you guys, have you had any problems/replacements/RMAs? I really want to get this phone but the problems are slowly wearing my wants.
Oh, and also it's extra hard since I won't be able to have warranty of some sort or have easy returns since my buying choices so far are amazon and ebay...
Forums are meant for people to discuss problems and complain.. I'm sure there are thousands of people who have no problems at all. People don't come to forums like this one to discuss how awesome their phone is. I have the GSM and my fiance has the verzion version and we haven't experienced many of the things discussed here.
Its the best phone on the market right now. Go get it!

Haven't had any problems with the phone and love it. No defects whatsoever.
Thanks guys. I guess this is what happens when you get so caught up in the negativity, you kind of become paranoid. Heh.
Yeah, it looks like I'm about to purchase soon, I cannot wait for this device. I've been wanting a phone that has International development.
I haven't had any problems with mine, great battery, great screen, i love everything about this phone, really don't feel the need to buy anything else until the next Nexus device comes out.....
if i were you, i wouldn't even want to touch this phone.

Okay, well up until I got my Galaxy Note yesterday I thought this was the most beautiful screen I'd ever seen. Don't ever do a side-by-side to the Note because the awe will wear off very quickly. The Galaxy Nexus has very obvious banding at lower brightness levels although you won't really see any blobs. (I haven't anyway.) The lack of SD card won't immediately bother you but sooner or later it will cross your mind. The phone does have a tendency to occasionally and randomly reboot. I haven't had the issue in a couple weeks although before that it was happening at least once a day for a couple weeks. Some games on the Galaxy Nexus have multi touch issues. Screen-on time will be significantly shorter than that of the GS2. (About 4 hours is the max.) Other than that, I would still recommend it. I've never looked back after getting rid of my GS2 but I feel you should know the facts before making a decision and potentially being unhappy about it. If you have more questions, I'll be glad to answer if possible.

Well, just dont buy anything second hand. dont wanna land yourself a first batch gnex. the first batch are the ones with the most problems, especially the screen. the made in china ones are the newer batch and seem to have sorted out some screen problems. not everything made in china is bad these days lol.
anyways, had my phone for less than a month, and 85% of the time i spent flashing LOL. enjoy the nexus！

I have the gnex and have to say that I have no complaints except for the radios and battery life on 4g. Call quality isnt as good as my old droidx, but the 4.0.4 radios seem to have helped a little.
Other than that i love this phone, I've thought about trading for a razr but I just cant bring myself to do it. There are not enough advantages of doing so. I have had no random reboots or other quirky issues.
Ok my honest opinion. Coming from the fact I feel 50/50 about it. I wouldn't of bought it if i'd had two weeks to test it.
Pros:
Screen is excellent
ICS looks nice
Sound quality through headphones is good
Sat Nav works well
Cons:
Loudspeaker is far too quiet
Back cover creaks and clicks like cheap junk
Vibrate is not powerful enough
Graphics in apps & games are a little slow and laggy
Camera is average at best.
Most of the plus points of the phone I would say are thanks to ICS, most of the cons of the device are hardware, in my opinion.

Not trying to be a fanboi here but there are some flaws with what you are saying.
I have had 3 different GNexus's and none of them have had this terrible banding issue that everyone is talking about. Maybe I am blind, maybe I am stupid, but this is just a non issue for me.
I have yet (In 4 months of owning the device) to have a problem with not having an SD Card. Not having to worry about an SD Card failing and me losing all my backups actually makes me feel better/safer.
Never had a random reboot trying almost all the ROMs and most kernels out there (Maybe just lucky?)
Multi touch issue is a problem that was fixed in 4.0.4 and can also be fixed in 4.0.3 by turning your screen off and on.
Bigger screen, more pixels, probably brighter, of course screen on time will be less.
This phone has some issues but what you point out here are minor (In my case) and just want to give the OP both sides of the story.
Hi, I am planning to replace my old phone to a new one.
I am currently using milestone xt720. I would like to know if it is still worth it to buy
Galaxy nexus or should I buy the newer ones. (Galaxy SII/SIII).
I considered GNEX as a replacement because the way I see it, there are so many developments going on here in its xda forum.
Are the new releases of GNEX phone better? or there are no differences?
Thanks, thats all i need to ask
It's worth it.

The phone is just awesome. If you're in for hardware, then the S3,but if you want a better software and hardware integration then the GNex, cuz it really is so much smoother now, the hardware doesn't even matter. And since it's a nexus, epic dev and updates all year round. If you do buy it, trust me, you're never gonna regret!

Trust me when I say this: The GNex GSM is exactly what google wants you to use with their services.
Everything else from Samsung, HTC, LG, etc is exactly what AT&T/Verizon/Sprint want you to use. As soon as you boot up and get a huge HTC or Samsung logo followed by a AT&T or Verizon logo, you know you've made the wrong decision.
Boot..
1) HTC logo with their stupid sound
2) AT&T logo with their stupid sound
3) WELCOME TO AT&T PLEASE USE THIS STUPID SERVICE THAT YOU HAVE TO PAY EXTRA FOR! ... or skip
4) WELCOME TO HTC PLEASE USE THIS STUPID SERVICE THAT GOOGLE ALREADY DOES BETTER! ... or skip
5) HERE ARE SOME MORE APPS THAT YOU DIDN'T INSTALL NOR CAN UNINSTALL!
You get the picture.
Stick with the unbranded: iPhone or Gnex
GNex is awesome phone, and you can't go wrong considering the price $350 and the software support. If the hardware matters more then go with the GSIII.

The hardware itself is 9 months old, but considering the device is $300 - $350, and you will run JB out the box. Hells yea it's worth it. Oh and yes, the community here is awesome, lots of friendly people and devs love working on a device as open as this.
Oh and last thing, I don't know about anyone else here but once Iv'e gone to a button-less device as the GNex, I can't see myself buying a phone with capacitive buttons now.
Came from nexus s , worth it ! .
The GNex is where it's at. Not only is it a pure Google phone, but you'll be first in line for all the latest and best custom ROMs and hacks. This phone is a developer's dream!

I'll give you another side of the argument...
If money is a concern, I say wait. Buy yourself a cheap android phone and get a $30/month tmobile plan to hold off until the next Nexus comes out. I don't know if you care about it, but it's probably going to be announced in a month or two at most three. It's highly likely it will be better than the galaxy nexus in most aspects.
I believe by waiting, in the long run you will save more money and will be able to afford the new nexus easier. Once it gets announced, I don't know if you will be able to resell the galaxy nexus for close to what you paid for it. So you might end up losing more money than necessary. But if cash is no concern, then yea buy a galaxy nexus now. Personally, I don't have tons of cash to throw around so I'm using the strategy I just explained.
I have SGS2 T989 currently and been thinking to switch to GNex because I don't care about TouchWiz and I really like the so-called pure Google experience . I want to check out JB OS but I'm having a hard time finding stores with GNex loaded with JB OS (Verizon has it, but it's still ICS I think). Anyone know which stores would have the demo unit with JB OS?
Not worth 350 with possibility of new nexus device. Don't see it arriving in next month or two. More like January.
Unfortunately the hardware won't be far ahead of what's already out. All nexus devices since ONE have been small steps ahead with major sacrifices in hardware. ( bad touch screen , lousy cameras , weak gpu) no manufacture has given AAA hardware effort for a nexus phone.
An s3 will be a smart choice with the built in community likely getting OS updates out much quicker than other phones.
Guys, I need a little help from my friends.
I just finished my contract with a mayor carrier who I am not going to give free advertisement and I am looking into the Galaxy Nexus. Everything I have heard about it is great. The one thing that is stopping me from buying one is :
Is there a new GN coming!!! Will I buy one and the next day Google is going to release a new one!!!
I have not been a member of this forum for a long time but from my interactions with members I can honestly say that there is a lot of smart and tech savy people here. I know answering this post will be speculating. but I know somebody here must know something!!!
Come on guys...
I ordered a galaxy nexus this weekend and am worried about the same thing. But they way I look at it even if they announce a new one tonight it will be weeks, if not months before you can even get your hands on one. So yeah it may be worth it to hold out a bit longer but I needed a phone sooner, not later and the galaxy nexus has such a huge scene that I think there will be the latest software for the next couple years. My galaxy nexus should be here tomorrow and I am so stoked to switch over to it and flash cm10 on it.
We haven't even got a hint at the new Nexus. I remember that we all called the Galaxy Nexus the Nexus Prime *long* before it came out. I haven't heard any names floating around for the new Nexus.
I do recommend buying the unlocked Nexus from the Play Store. You will have an unlocked GSM device and no contracts to worry about. The price is good too.

I think no one will know it for sure. We all expect that Google to release the next nexus very soon but no one can guarantee anything. Honestly, I think if you need a phone now and want Nexus go for it. If you don't, you can always wait since we know the next version is coming soon.
I think even if the new phone comes out soon, the nexus will still going to be a good phone. I can see that the only good thing about the new phone is probably LTE support and most likely better camera. It of course will have higher specs for other stuff, but in my opinion, these are the only 2 major improvement of the new phone. The other specs is probably not going to be that huge of a deal
I do think that the next phone will be slightly more expensive since google has such a big success so I guess price is also something worth considering.
I also looking into the Samsung Galaxy S3 vs Galaxy Nexus. I S3 seems like an awesome and fun toy. The small detail is the $600 vs $350 difference in price.

I have a friend that has the s3 to me when I compare the two there isn't much different. Even though the s3 has a better processor the nexus is as smooth as the s3. I guess its all personal preference. It depends whether or not you want touch wis or pure android.

I highly disagree, look at the Nexus 7 and the pricing. The next Nexus will be the same price if not cheaper. As far as a huge success, not really. Most people that buy these devices are geeks like me and you. The average consumer will go and buy the S3 or a low budget phone (android).
I'm excited for the new one because I think Google will get it right this time and my guess is either Sony or Asus will land it.
