Sony Nexus X.. Real or fake?

I surely like Sony design...
http://www.redmondpie.com/images-of-alleged-sony-nexus-x-handset-emerge-online/

I would love a Xperia Nexus but hope the design would be better than that one. So far I haven't heard any info from my sources.

Fake, check out this update from a Photoshop expert above the pic in attached link. http://androidandme.com/2012/10/smartphones-2/did-the-sony-nexus-x-just-leak-out/
Plus everyone knows LG has the next Nexus phone locked in, there's not yet been more than one release at a time why would this occasion be any different? Just doesn't make sense really.
Now the next one we can only hope... eb

Call it fake or mockup or whatever, there is a strong rumor that Sony will be releasing Nexus Phone this year.

And how is a Sony Nexus different from the Xperia T? Or rather, what exactly is a Nexus? Also, I'm more interested in the rumored quad core Sony phone that was leaked last week.

Nexus is a pure android phone. No custom UI or restrictions. Gets updates as soon as Google releases them and always runs the latest os.

What's so awesome about the nexus? Ive never had one and I wanted the first one but never could afford a smart phone until now. Ive seen some talk about the Sony Odin having 5inch 1080p display 2gigs of ram and a new quad-core cpu, why so much hype about a nexus?
Edit- also just an fyi this isn't me trying to put the nexus down just an honest question

In general, a Nexus device gets the latest updates faster than any other phone. They usually set the bar for where Google thinks the platform should be at. All of the manufacturers will have their own flagship devices, but none of them will get updates faster than a Nexus device.

I want a phone that is similar to the defy in physical shape and durability, but with more power and mininimum jb as stock.
Have been loooking a bit on the xperia z, but it is not very rugged and rather big . and Ideally i want to wait until BT low energy Api becomes part of android.
i would disqualify Motorola for the way they broke ics upgrade promisises.. but i cant overlook just how much beating my defy have faced without a scratch... so if they are the only maker of a phone with those traits.....
Well for now i am running quarkx 4.1.2 and it is good enough for me.

Next Phone
I'm not sure if we get an option to buy the Motorola phones here in India, anybody who can throw some light on this is appreciated. I have a DEFY not planning to sell.
PS: Whenever I go to these stores here in India, the seller Moto models are not available & they don't stock it. I'm aware of Motorola closing doors here, but any other ways to buy?

As I generally avoid buying Samsung products, the only two phones that I consider at the moment are:
Razr HD
Xperia Acro S
Xperia V
While I really think that the Razr I is a nice phone, there is no CM for it yet (and I have my doubts that it will ever be).
For now, I stay with the Defy because of the form factor (for me, the size is just right) and the community.

I'm in two minds whether to buy it s3 or nexus 4!

[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
- Jasper
EDIT: If you're using Tapatalk to view this tread, you may have to open it in the browser to see the poll.

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.
Sent from my GT-I8150 using Tapatalk 2

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....

My SGW feels so outdated in comparision with my tablet...
The battery is draining like hell, and performance is awfull.
Since it will take some months till I got the money to buy a new phone, I don't think it will be the S4 Mini. That time it will be an outdated thing. And I won't let that happen thrice.

Well.. I'm Not A Fan Of The 5" Screen !
So I Was Thinking That My Next Phone Might Be Xperia ZR (4.55") ,, But Now.. I'm Really Thinking Of The Galaxy S IV Mini

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.

Do you guys think it's still worth the effort to get it next January? I'd really like to keep together with this great community, but I'm a bit worried to keep stuck with outdated hardware.

Samsung Galaxy S3 or Xperia ZL?

I found a deal that would get me a Galaxy S3 or an Xperia ZL at the same price, the S3 is new, and the Xperia ZL is a used one. I've been having many problems with my Galaxy Nexus lately and am looking for a suitable replacement.
Which one is a better option?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Why not not wait for the nexus 5 or pick up a cheap nexus 4. Or flash the factory images on your galaxy nexus and see if that fixes your issues.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

They're not problems a rom can fix, the charging port doesn't work anymore, the power button doesn't work, and the screen is cracked. So..
Edit: And I don't want the Nexus 4 because of its lack of support for usb otg.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Taking newer phones out of consideration, I'll choose ZL hands-down - feels nicer in hand, has better hardware, uses onscreen nav keys (a huge perk for me), has much better support from both Sony and community (Samsung terminates their phones early, and keeps some codes secret / lock bootloader so that custom ROMs always hit obstacle). Fsck Samsung for all its phones except Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus.
But yeah, as said above, treasure your Nexus I treasure those Nexii so much that I bought a screen-cracked GNex just days ago (here in China we can replace only the screen glass instead of the glass+display, and costs merely ~$25)... Flash it to a clean state and see what magic happens. Sorry I saw what you said, good luck with a new companion. Not the Samsung Galaxy S4 "Life Companion" :thumbdown:.
Sent from Google Nexus 4 @ CM10.2

Yeah, I'll be keeping this guy even when I get a new phone. I personally like the ZL better, but looking at the dev support and comparing it to the S3, it's really not great, and that's what breaks it for me. As for the S3, I like everything about it, except for the Design. -_-

...at least ZL has official CM10.2 too (and will likely stay on the official line as long as its cousin Xperia Z is alive), so shouldn't look all that bad unless you're really flashing all day. CM is always just enough for me while PA/Carbon/Slim are a pain to set up to eye-candy condition.

That's a much harder choice, but I'd still ditch Exynos 44xx (both S3 and Note 2 has this CPU) because it's very developer-unfriendly. One X+ on the other hand provides lower performance (Tegra 3 sucks), but if this device you buy doesn't have to last long, should be okay.

That's right. But truth is, developers on XDA are not the giving up type. I've a Note 2 with SlimBean (android 4.3.1) running perfectly smooth with zero bugs since I used their first builds. 6+ hours screentime, 21k in antutu without any overclocking, no glitches, all working (1080p HD filming, camera, BT, tethering, wifi, etc etc.)
Go for the Note 2. Best device I ever had and the development community is very vivid with ****loads of well maintained roms, including official cm 10.2 nightlies. There's also the samsung official touchwiz android 4.3 leak available, so seems this device isn't written off yet by Samsung, and I suppose this can only benefit the dev community even more.

Actually i would choose Nexus 5 ahead of the others.. Z1 is waterproof, but i don't think its really worth it.. 20mp isn't like what it should be.. And bootloader can't be unlocked since Camera will be damaged further.. SGS4 lacks quality.. Although it will receive some major updates for another 1 and half year atleast.. Nexus 5 is new and will get support for another 2 years or more without doubt because of Google.. Also Nexus 5 is coming with 4.4, which is much more faster and also new features already.. I am willing to sell my SXS and go for Nexus 5 soon which is also highly unlikely..

Aren't you people bored of Sony smartphones? I change manufacturer everytime, because I always need something new, something fresh, and Sony changes only hardware, software is basically the same for all their smartphones.

go for nexus if u want fast and latest android,samsung for heavy features that u mostly wont use and sluggish ui,sony is good but their software doesnt utilise the hardware,they dont use it in good way,and no timely updates.move to nokia lumia series if u dont want a smartphone hahahaha and iphone if u dont like messing with your phone :silly: for now nexus 5 or wait till xperia Z2(long time but our xperia s isnt slouch yet).i am just sad no good roms yet for xperia s,few are good but not as expected

Actually Dual boot is not that safe i guess.. Well, Android gives an app for everything.. Windows still has to emerge.. Not much changes can be made with UI.. Unlike Android, u can change UI to virtually any kind possible.. Although its always the one who's buying has to decide what his needs are.. If it were me, i would definitely go with Android first and then iOS as my 2nd.. Just my opinion..
