Trade my nexus for a new white htc one x

So i have been having my nexus galaxy for a couple of weeks and just download codename rom and i have to say its the best android phone i have so far. Then I see someone wanting to trade mine for a new htc one x. Specs wise theres a difference but I need your guys input if you guys would in a heartbeat or give input if I should or not. To me I am thinking jb>sense ui but on the other hand they said for one x, jb is coming out and jb on a quad core sounds crazy.

Don't do it. The nexus may not have the same specs as the one x but it delivers a superior experience due to vanilla android vs HTC sense. That and JB may be the last update the one x sees where as the nexus probably has few more in line.

1) Trade
2) Sell for $500
3) Rebuy Nexus for $350
4) PROFIT!
Disclaimer: I'm joking.. kinda.
Edit: Assuming the one x is unlocked of course. Locked phones go for significantly less.

Before having a GN, I was using an HTC panache.
I still think HTC make great device but if you love flashing and to have the latest Android, you should keep your GN.
Unlock bootloader can be painful and risky. Customs ROMS need more time before being ported because of some proprietary modules...

Who cares. If you don't like flashing and want the latest and greatest. Then get the galaxy nexus.
If you like to flash, then get whatever.

Do not I actually gave a brand new white att one x for a nexus because its a lot better the nexus just rockssss I love it and wouldn't go back
There's just so many reasons its better
The nexus is kind of like the iPhone line but now better since it will keep getting updates and there's only one released every year plus its unlocked and has great features
Trust me I'd you want key lime pie don't even think about the one x
Quad core and dual core are the stupidists fughts trust me quad core or 8 cores doesn't mean jack if you can not have the latest on it

I previously had an HTC and now a GNEX.... I personally wouldn't go back to their products unless you plan on using a custom rom. I dislike their software.

I would do it and try it. And of you didn't like it. Someone out there will be willing to trade it for a gnex. Just like you are!

Personally, I wouldn't even do the trade for sale and profit. The quality control of the gnex varies somewhat. Mine has a good screen, overclocks well, and seems loud enough. IMO, if you have a good one, keep it. If you have a not-so-good one, go for it.

Trade it, sell the one x and but a GN again(profit). Or wait for the new nexus

Any rumors/idea when is the new nexus coming?

You guys are right. I have a perfect gem galaxy nexus with no problems with perfectly calibrated screen, and battery is amazing. I am currently at 43% percent battery life with 17h so far with almost 50 percent screen on time just with random kernel and no display tweaks. Going to do this guide to make it even more better http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599025 . I am astonished. I told him I am going to hold it off for now. I am prolly going to look for another galaxy nexus to buy and then do that and maybe do a side to side comparison. Then make profit .

basically this. then you can even get an accessory for the Nexus after. you know, if you're into that kind of thing.

Do you like listening to music on your phone? If so, steer clear of anything that HTC have made in the last 2 years. They have a serious design flaw in the way they've been shielding their audio chip set, so there is a real problem with line noise. You get this low hissing sound in the background of every track. I had to ditch my One X cause it was giving me headaches.

Lol, well I came from an EVO 4G LTE myself (One X variant) to the galaxy nexus. I love everything about this phone...but I really miss the camera on the HTC, along with the SLCD2 screen, and kickstand haha.

That should be easy: S3. You'll find the S3 and note 2 to be too similar. Having the One X would be a better compliment to the Note 2

absolutely not... the big screen is horrible for using the phoen as a phone... i carry a separate tablet for all my tablet needs...

Note 2 is awesome when compared to the First Note, thinking to switch.

I sold my Galaxy Note for S3 primarily because I wanted something smaller than Galaxy Note but at the sametime wanted something bigger screen than HTC 7 Mozart (3.8") or iPhone 5 (4"). So, I will not get the Galaxy Note 2.

I've already sold my GSIII for a good two weeks now! Just patiently waiting for Note II...
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

I also just got my S3 at launch and now going to jump ship to the Note II. I loooved the Note 1 but it was just a tad wide for me, but the minutely thinner N2 looks amazing.
I'm hoping my S3 will mostly fund the cost of the N2 at a non-upgrade price.
Anyone that's sold your S3, how much did you get for it? I have an AT&T version but lots of goodies with it.

note2 ftw!
besides the specs of note2 over s3, i prefer the productivity suite of apps that its offering. i won't be needing more pens and papers with this phablet.
this is just enough for me. before i was thinking of buying a table since i already have my ever loyal and still functioning s1 (gt-i9000). then again, most of the tablets with android seems to be missing the phone functionalities (text/sms, call, 3g/4g). only a few of them matches, but not like the note2.
heck, i was even torned between note2 and the superphone lg optimus g. but then again, i buy gadgets based on what i need and its usability. that is how i prefer it.

Will preorder the Note2 on tuesday, the starting price is 629 euro`s in the Netherlands atm. Will sell my S3 this weekend. Very excited about the GN2, the dualcore cpu in the GN1 was not powerfull enough to process all those pixels as it should and felt laggy at times. This should be fixed in the GN2 :victory:

Had the Galaxy s3(i9300), traded for a Galaxy Nexus and I think this phone is Excellent and have potential!

I very recently upgraded from a HD2 to a Gnex. It feels like the very best thing I've done for a while! The Antutu scores are more than double also every JB rom I've tried runs fluid on this phone.
I did consider the Nexus 4 but to me the option of changing to a bigger extended 3500mah battery is important to me, so I got the Gnex. I use my phone as a GPS on my vehicle and my work involves me being away from a power source and just generally putting a lot of use on my phone.
If Nexus4 didn't have a sealed battery I would of bought it in a heartbeat.

in my country there is no playstore (portugal) and the nexus 4 will come out for 400-450 probably so i think the price of gnex is quite good

It's good. But nexus 4 will be better. Also i think that my gnex is lack of juice
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

in my honest opinion get the nexus 4 if possible but if not get the galaxy nexus , once you use a nexus you can't really look at other phones the same , S3 ,one x and all those phones are great but my friend's s3 seems so much laggier compared to my nexus which is a lot cheaper ,oh and the nexus gives insane bang for the buck but the if have a rather lackluster camera though =(

Should I buy the Galaxy Nexus?

Hey guys,
I am looking at getting a new phone and my requirements were:
1GB RAM
4.3+ inch screen
720p display.
The Galaxy Nexus caught my eye as it has all those things. I don't have a huge budget (£150, or €175, $225)But I am slightly concerned. Firstly because it is an old piece of kit. Now, that doesn't bother me if it performs well and gets the latest updates, but that's what I am worried about. Secondly because of Dev Support. I need a phone that will be supported for at least a year.
Please tell me what I should do. I am willing to buy a used device. If you think I should get something else, please let me know as to what device you are thinking.
Thanks!

Don't buy this phone.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2

Extend your budget go for a Nexus 4 or maybe wait for the next Nexus. Galaxy Nexus is a great phone but let's face it, it's been around for a while... And I doubt if it'll get official updates for the coming year
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

If you want it, then buy an extended battery with it and IMHO one should also buy the charging port flex board which may stop working anytime.
Whether or not it gets official updates, it will receive the custom ROMs. But then again why would you go for a 2 year old product?
Get the n4 or the n5 when it releases

Get the s4 or wait for new nexus at end of year.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Go for nexus 4.....though I'm not saying that Galaxy Nexus is not good, but it has now become somewhat old and won't get support from Google as Nexus 4 will get. Though you always will have support from the custom ROMs....but not stock ROM from Google itself.....so go for Nexus 4 rather than GN.

Screw n4 and its iphone-ish glass back

Okay, popular opinion suggests that the N4 is my choice. Is there anywhere I can pick it up within my budget?

The n4 is old as well, considering the new nexus will be out in a few months, the n4 has been a blunder from day one an forgotten about due to its terrible launch an unavailability, so people just decided to boycott it an skip it altogether, lg have even said themselves it wasn't on the list of priorities to get that phone out, I don't think google would bother asking lg a second time to make another nexus with that kind of poor effort or attitude.

So here I am.
I have been watching a load of videos comparing it to Samsung flagships, HTC flagships and some weird devices made by a fruit company. The hardware has EVERYTHING I want for my upgrade. Almost double every spec to my current phone. My only concern is updates. Does this device have 4.2.2 Officially? Will there be 4.3 and 5.0 for it unofficially, if not officially? I need it to last for a year.
If you can answer my questions, I will be extremely grateful. My other option is the Xperia S, but it costs too much, bigger camera then I need and no official 4.1
Thanks Again!

Android 4.2.2 is officialy suported on the galaxy nexus and 4.3 will normally be that too but for 5.0 nobody knows.
And yeah I love the phone and it's getting old but it is still a good phone

I bought mine a few months ago for exactly the same as your budget and I am more than happy with it yes it's old but not everyone can afford to get a nexus 4 and to be honest it's a bit to much like the iPhone with it's glass back the gnex gives you plenty of bang for your buck IMO
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 4 Beta

If you don't need the good cam, HDMI and so on, go for a GNex. As far as dev support's concerned there's no need to be worried, even the Google Nexus S (maybe the WFS too?) will get Android 5 (unofficially).

I've had mine for about 6 months and have tried just about every ROM and kernel out there for it and it's been great. I think you would be fine with it for a year or so with the support it has here.

[POLL] What will be your next device?

Hello all,
I'm curious to see what you guys are doing with the fact that @arco68 is switching to the S4 Mini. I planned to switch device next January, mainly because it's my birthday then, and I got some money to spend. The first phone that came to my mind was the next Nexus: I really like the support and ROMs available for my Nexus 7. But the problem is that the Nexus 7 community is such a big mess, after 4 months I still don't recognize names like here. So that gives me two other options: buying the S4 Mini to get @arco68 great development, or take another less popular device but get the risk of getting no CM and stick with the awfull skin given by the manufacturer.
I'd really like to see you guys opinion on this

I'll definitely go with S4 mini

Sent from my CM10.1 Wonder using xda premium

I don't know but if I have the money I'll go to s4mini. I think with arco68, there's no need to go for a high-end device. The things arco has done with the galaxy w is surely overwhelming and surely s4mini will be the same should he choose to develop for the phone.
Although a sony midrange is a possibility for me too. Sony devices most likely never hits the low activity forums/legacy and the attention from other rom makers is a good thing to consider.

Well, somehow it's stuck in my head that I need a Phone with a bigger screen :x
The SGW was my very first Smartphone. Now you could nearly call it my best friend or my personal agent xD
So I would consider myself as a "heavy user", therefore I'm thinking of buying a high-end-smartphone, like the SGS, the Sony Xperia Z or the Galaxy Nexus =/
But theres more than a year to go until I can change my provider, so I will keep my SGW for a while and look around what the market will bring

SG Nexus? Maybe, but there maybe a new Nexus device, so I'll wait.
S4/S4 Mini? Not my priority.
Xperia Z? I'll see if I can afford that one.. I also wait for ZR version.
Xperia L? Maybe?
I'll absolutely stay away from HTC and LG. But who knows if there is a new, revolutionary version?
No, I wasn't sending this from my computer.

Time will tell, but for now the SGW still suits my needs. It´s still a phone and a tool, nothing more. Neither a life companion like for some babys here who can´t find a partner and are having no friends, nor anything I need to survive. It´s still good to call my wife who is my life companion and for surviving in the Amazone jungle I prefer a swiss pocket knife rather than a phone without connection

I agree with you sir,
for a moments I'll stick to this phone. My daily use is just phone, sms and some chat. not really do gaming. So I still satisfied with this phone. I'm not used to change phone too often, i usually change when my phone can't working well again. or i have more budget, then i will give my phone to my family.
the main reason is surely the budget, if we have more money, sure we will change phone more often.

If i got the bucks, S4 mini. Otherwise, Motorola Atrix....

Currently using Galaxy Tab 2 for gaming, and hell it runs a lot of games that Galaxy W can't or have problem with like M.U.S.E, Ku Shroud of Morrigan, Castle Master 3D, etc. Currently aiming to buy Galaxy S4, maybe at the end of this year.

I would love the SGS 4 Mini, and not just for arco's development, but mainly for me. I really like that device. But with a 350-400EUR price tag....I think I'm going to stick with the Galaxy W until the price drops down a little.
