Your right about the display being better on the gs3 I don't know why Samsung didn't put the same one on the galaxy nexus but if my nexus isn't next to a gs3 then I think my screen is great

Your right... the only thing that boggles my mind is that ... they both have the same screen technically... so I don't know how the GS3 looks better

I also think it's a different screen and of course wanted to put the best displays on there own Samsung branded phones. The note also has a better screen than my galaxy nexus

Surprised?
Either way, Google didn't want bleeding edge anything in any of the Nexus phones.

Its like comparing Ferrari and BMW, both are awesome, but.. And Nexus is more than 200$ cheaper, so.

Maybe Google should start looking in developing their own hardware instead of depending on another company

That'd anger a lot of OEMs.

And put Google in the patent crossfire I'm sure they would like to stay out of.

I thought the Gnex and S3 had the same exact display? Gnex has higher ppi as well. But some reason the S3's does look brighter...

I agree. I just looked at one the other day...crazy. The colors look more vibrant, and even the res looks better.

Galaxy Nexus, I love pure android.

I'm coming in a bit late here but I have both and am obviously on the nexus due to loving pure droid plus so much more dev support the bootloader was just unlocked on the sgs3 so roms and such are slim pickings at the moment either way though I love this nexus

I like the guy too from the Epic 4g days.. The only thing I never liked is I had the EvoLTE for a short time and he was blowing up that forum insulting the EvoLTE telling everyone how much better the Epic was at the time.. Kinda disappointed being I think everyone should respect any device

Kenny Glass has the GS3...so does flastnoles.... They will be here "full time" soon enough....

I'm a bit undecided as to where I'm going. The Eclipse looks nice, as do the Nexii rumors, as do the EvoLTE and SGS3. I doubt I would want the GNote2 though, unless someone can convince me why it's not too big, especially since I already have a tablet.

My upgrade is not until Jan and while I could etf, I kind of want to wait to see if there is anything better between now and then, like the optimus g and nexii.

Most of the devs working on Exynos (like codeworkx and Entropy512) can't stand it, so I think I will be avoiding that. Plus from a hardware standpoint, the quadcore A9 is about equivalent to dual core Krait, so quad core Krait will kick its ass. Plus the Adreno 320 GPU in the S4 Pro processors is supposedly as powerful as the Xbox 360's GPU. It is the fastest SOC on the market. Plus, 5.5 in is pretty big especially considering that I already have a tablet. Although, I have never used a note so I would probably at least give it a chance at Sprint.

The optimus g is nice and since one of the nexus devices will be based on it, we won't have to worry about LG's overlay and lack of updates.

You might not have to worry about lack of updates but you'll still have to worry about the hardware breaking down

All of the ROMs are the best for somebody. You just have to find out which one is best for you. It's a DIY project by nature.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

well, yeah, that's what I feel like writing, because it's such a pointless question. you want to know what people use more? check number of pages of every rom thread and you'll know what most people are using. same with kernels. then read those threads, get the device, and enjoy flashing from day 1 you get the device, already knowing before hand what is it that you can expect (approximately, since, most of all, every device is different) from X release of X rom or kernel.
not to mention that must be there like lot's of threads on this theme, and that's it's a rather subjective/personal one.

Google announced Android 4.3 today!

OTA will rollout to Nexus devices right now. Updates to Google Edition S4 will follow up shortly. Let's hope outs do not take forever!

My thoughts exactly. Start your stopwatches now.
To those who might know more than I: What are the odds of this release bringing with it any AOSP additional support that might allow the likes of CM to fully support the IR and other sensors on the S4, and similar phones?

Whats the point of waiting for the GE edition? I am sure roms like PA will have it merged in by tomorrow.

We won't see an official 4.3 till the end of the year for this phone. I'm sure the Google edition will be updated faster but not as fast as Nexus devices.

The guys at the Galaxy Note 2 forum think the Note 3 will have 4.3 when it comes out (supposedly) in November. They also theorize 4.3 will then be released on the Note 2 shortly after. I wonder if Samsung will release 4.3 on the S4 at that time.
