Should I get Galaxy Nexus or wait for the next Nexus smartphone

I have Nexus S and software speaking GNex and NS are almost the same, ignoring the few advantages GNex has because of the hardware.
My sister got Galaxy S3 few days ago and now I want a new phone as well lol. Since I'm gonna dump a $***load of money, and I much more prefer Nexus dev phone rather than TouchWiz or anything manufacturer related, should I wait for the next quad core (and better camera, since that 2 things are bugging me about GNex) or buy this one.
I know how having a Nexus rocks, all the roms, tweaks, ports available for my Nexus S are just awesome, so I can imagine what to expect for this one or the future one!
I'm asking this because you guys have it and know it.
I almost ended up buying Note but stores jacked the price here, so no... currently GNex HSPA+ is around 300€ - 350€ here, unlocked. Thanks!

Well if you can wait til Q4 I'd say wait for the next nexus, especially if you're signing a contract.

Hilarious actually. I upgraded from the nexus s, and other than the bigger screen I really don't notice a while back of a lot of difference with the nexus. Was already running CM9.

Facepalming cuz we get three of these things a day. Should I get a nexus.....

Wait, not worth upgrading without subsidy unless you can find a used one for cheap. If you're on tmobile, change to the cheap plan and you can buy new phones off contract.

Buy it now and sell it when the next Nexus comes out.

People need to stop obsessing over quad cores especially when the newer dual cores are on par with them.

Because I can, and I was bored.
Correction: November through January.

Just get the Nexus. Then get the Nexus tablet when it gets out. :-D It's a great phone, why wait?

That's what I did when I bought my gnex.

I guess that's the cool thing about a Nexus phone, even when the next one comes out, this one will still be relevant.
It's not like the jump from dual core to quad will be as significant IMO as single to dual.
Such as the GNex can and will leave the N1 and Nexus S in the dust in the following years, the next Nexus will take much longer to leave the GNex in the dust.

Clearly under par GPU on nexus ...wait for the next one and hope its better! Then buy it

Note that the price of the new Nexus could be twice as much compared to the current price of Galaxy Nexus.
But if money is not a problem, buy this, then buy the next Nexus when it comes out

Just wait it out. As good as the GN is, it's not that big of a jump from your current phone.

If you're going to drop an assload of money like you're stating... You could buy the Gal Nex and get the next Nexus too .

Its not that your nexus s is completely behind. I'd wait till next nexus.

Anyone getting a nexus 7 to go along with their Galaxy nexus?

Am highly considering getting a Nexus 7 to go along with my GSM galaxy nexus. the attractive price point, Specs, and size are what make me want the device. Have a OG transformer that ill give to my little sis with a keyboard and i replace that with this. Anyone have any objections to getting this bad boy? Only gripe i have is that it only goes up to 16GB! That and after using it for a while, my Gnex might feel small to me.

I think I'm gonna bite the bullet and order one $200 seems like a pretty awesome deal

just did for the 16 gb model.

Yup, ordered the Nexus 7 16 GB. I was planning on getting a Motorola Xoom (Currys were selling them for £130 but it turned out they were just lying about having them) so this seems a good substitute.

I'll be getting one. Have an A100 at the moment as I prefer the 7" tablet size but there is no dev scene on that thing and what can beat the dev scene of a nexus device?

Yep. Probably gonna get the 16 gig one in maybe month or so.

Do you guys know if a white one will be available in the future?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

I am toying with the idea but I just sold my CM9'd touchpad due to lack of use because my GNex is serving me so well. Perhaps as a hack toy but that's why I bought the Touchpad.
Every nerd needs a hack toy...

Don't see the point, for me.
I have the iPad 3 and a Galaxy Nexus, and both are serving me good for what they do. The Nexus 7 just seems to be a Galaxy Nexus with a faster CPU and a bigger screen... It doesn't replace my iPad and doesn't do more than my Galaxy Nexus.

I am still not sold with the phone interface on 7" tablet.
And 16GB is too small ... without Micro SD card for tablet.

Looks like a nice bit of kit, but'll stick to my Xoom
I'm more anxious about getting jellybean on it than my nexus for the vsync

ordered it yesterday... 16g

Well after honestly thinking about it, i'm going to cancel my order in the morning. I seriously thought about it and i came to the conclusion that me having a gnex will ruin my experience. Honestly it will literally be our phone which is 16gb without any removable storage with a 7inch screen and some better specs running Jellybean that looks like it's in phone mode.. unless there are some features or value that i'm not seeing, pre-order remorse got the better of me.

I am, I am tired of my a500. Wi-Fi sucks and a teen inch tablet is not as comfortable as seven inch is

Definitely £150 is a no brainier. I'll probably give it to my girlfriend to use and continue using my HP Touchpad but that plan will probably change when I get my hands on it :-D

How's the procedure with Europe, it's cool that u guys from the states are able to get it from the playstore, but what about us guys in EU? Are there any news about that?

[Q] Help with new purchase

Coming from Sprint with a Nexus S 4g and have narrowed down my new phone to
A. Galaxy Nexus
B. Nexus 4
C. Galaxy S3
I like the fact that the galaxy nexus is pentaband and i can test it out on tmobile $30 and att&t straight talk but worry that it will get old quick.
Which of these would y'all recommend for switching to prepaid service?

Get the Nexus 4 right now
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

Galaxy nexus hands down.

if you wanna get the phone NOW go with the gnex..if you can wait get the nexus 4 when its released

I'd rather you wait for the Nexus 4, if you have no qualms about LG. Otherwise, go with the Galaxy Nexus

Buying a gnex now when a new phone is going to be announced on Monday. Lol.
Wait until Monday. See the price of and the launch date of the lg. See if the price drops on the gnex... Then decide.
I'm sorry but anybody that orders a new gnex right now is mental.

You should wait until Monday to see the specs of the new phone.
I would recommend buying it off contract (if you can afford it) because being free to choose your carrier is great. You can switch at any time if a better deal comes up and you can even take advantage of prepaid wireless. T-Mobile has a good prepaid plan IIRC.

Should i buy the Nexus 4 or..

My galaxy nexus screen got broken. And now it will take me half the price of the phone to fix it. So i was wondering whether i should buy the Nexus 4 or wait for next nexus or buy another phone which are currently in the market.

Might be a few months on the new nexus, probably don't want to wait that long.

Galaxy Nexus now or wait one year?

I have the OG Droid RAZR with grandfathered unlimited data on Verizon. My next upgrade is in May 2014. A local retailer has the Verizon Gnex at only $430 (full price, new.) So I am asking Gnex owners whether you would spring for the Gnex now, if you were in my position, or wait one year to see what's available then. I like my OG RAZR, but the Gnex is appealing to me.

Wait. The gnex is a nice phone but it is a year and a half old.

You're better off waiting, the galaxy nexus is showing its age and is quite likely to lose its official support from Google soon.

You could go on craigslist and buy a used one in good condition for half the price of that. And u will be OK till may. 430 bucks for a phone that's that old is ridiculous if u ask me.

this phone is starting to show its age when you begin playing more modern games or if youre performing heavy multitasking
id say you should wait it out a bit

What's wrong with the Nexus 4 btw?

If I weren't stuck in a Verizon contract, or if Verizon offered this phone, I would definitely be interested in the Nexus 4.

Mm alright, To answer your question: don't buy the Galaxy Nexus. It's a great phone but it isn't worth 430 dollars - anymore.

430 is nuts. Buy one from here if you really want one.

Just picked one up for 150 on Craigslist. You can get S3's for under 300.

$430 for a Smart Phone is just unbelievable, I personally don't know what I'm going to do when I want to get a new phone ( I currently have a Galaxy Nexus with Unlimited Data). I guess I will be a couple generations behind and wait a good year and a half. I can justify buying a smartphone for $200 dollars. You can actually buy a new Galaxy Nexus on Ebay for $200.00 I would do that if you need a phone right now.

I appreciate everyone's advice. You have some very helpful people in this forum!

Since you like your current phone and not in a hurry; I'd say wait for the Nexus 5. It's unlikely to be revealed on tomorrow's I/O but should be released by November or something, and should come with Android 5, So it's worth the wait and I believe you could get an unlocked version from Google Play Store for less than what you are willing to pay at the moment.

like the person above said, I suggest you wait until the next nexus comes out in November. Plus, $430 for the galaxy nexus is outrageous and you could get it for $200 in craigslist or ebay.
