It's in stock now in Canada. It's way too tempting to pass up. What do you guys think? My Arc is running CM10 OC to 1.6GHz and it does it's job just fine. I can sell it on Craigslist for $180, so money isn't an issue. I've been saving up for the Nexus for a long time but I'm not too sure if I should make the switch. All I'm really paying for is a good CPU + 2GB of ram - expandable storage. Storage isn't much of an issue for me, especially since the only files I've ever stored on my phone is music.
If I get the Nexus 4, I'll also end up buying my friend's i9000 for $20 (it's really cheap since he cracked the screen), so that I can play around with ROMs on it while my brand spanking new Nexus 4 will be my daily driver.
What do you guys think?
I also forgot to mention that I'm not on a contract, nor will I ever be. :highfive:

Really? Is the Arc that bad, or is the Nexus 4 just so much better?

A quad-core phone with 2 gb Ram, which is receiving quickly newest updates, against a 1,0/1.4 GHz single-core "klumpat", as we are saying in german, with only 512 mb ram and no updates receiving anymore? Go and change it as long as you can, don't ask and just buy it, before it's out of stock!

Even if you don't like it, you can sell it for about the same price since it's out of stock in no time again.
this is off topic and doesnt belong here
still i would recommend you to go for nexus 4
its one of top 5 smartphones
it will get all android versions first
and yes arc is too old now
Go for it :good:
I jumped the gun and ordered it a couple minutes ago.
But do I really need it? CM10's pretty darn snappy on my phone. I have roughly 17 minutes to cancel my order. What should I do?
Damn my indecisiveness!
There's only 7 minutes left. Should I cancel my order?
Ah screw it I'll probably end up getting a new phone anyway. It's either a Nexus 4, or my sister's S3 in a year and a half.
Screw it! I can't cancel it anymore anyway. What was I thinking? I've saved up for the N4 for a couple months now. Buyer's remorse my arse!
Money's meant to be spent

I'm way ahead of you guys! It's just a damn shame that it's been "processing" for two days now. >.<
Go ahead and switch already before the stores run out of stock. Im going to switch from arc s to nexus 4 by next week. Oye!
soybi
Way ahead of ya', bud. I ordered it a couple days ago. Sadly, it hasn't shipped yet.
as you all might be knowing that gnex is still not available in india
but it is available in the grey market without warranty (idc about it)
soo what you guys think should i buy this phone? as the phone being an oldy, we here get it at a price range of 20k rupees .. the phone in the same budget are Samsung grand desire cv and quite higher 25k we get one s .. one s with the s3 processor 1.7ghz oc.. not the universal 1.5 s4 processor.
soo guys what's your view on this? i know a Google device is a Google device with plenty of fukn development everyday
i currently own a one v,
regards
Sent from my One V
It doesn't make sense to buy any of those devices at that price. Especially not anything from HTC with the ONE coming out so soon.
Many online shopping portals are selling the 16gb nexus 4 for around 24 to 25k. That would be a better option than gnex plus i really feel the next major android update(KLP) will not be as lag free as jelly bean on gnex.

I bounce back and forth between my HTC One S (s4) and Galaxy Nexus.
If you have to choose from both, I'd say the Nexus, unless you love sense. The development community is larger for the Nexus. I like that it has a removable battery and a bigger screen. I'm switching back to my GN after his post.
I don't think there is much development for the S3 version of the One S. I will say sometimes the smaller size of the One S is nice and personally, I think the camera is better.
Goodluck. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
Good luck.

Your going to need that 8 core processor just to deal with the usual android os lag by the time key lime pie comes out, i just hope one day Google can fix their os so it runs as smooth as iOS so phone manufactures don't have to keep doubling their cores Lol.

If u r fascinated with the amount of development happening for the nexus variants.. Then u should buy the nexus 4 at this point of time.. I personally use a galaxy Nexus and at times I feel it's time for an upgrade..

Yeah, I bought my wife an N4 as a surprise and now I have her old Gnex. As I said in my last post, I still the the Gnex has some legs, especially given the large development community. Also, I actually didn't mind running the Gnex on stock for a bit. Of the last four phones I've had, this one made it the longest before getting a custom ROM. I finally rooted last night and am running the lastest CM 10.1 nightly.
I will say this, with all the different ROMs available for the GNex, it'd be like having a new phone all the time (if you're a flashaholic). As much as I like my HTC One S and respect the developers, there aren't nearly as many ROMs available. Viper 2.1 (Sense) is great, and I also like Liquid Smooth (AOSP) for the One S,
Both phones have run smooth for me, on different Roms. I'm still trying to get good photos with my Gnex (any suggestions?), so the one big advantage of the One S is the camera.
Again, good luck and let us know what you go with. Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions on comparing the two.

LG N4 is $489 for 16gb model here which i think is not cheap like it is elsewhere like in the US, certainly not worth almost $500 like it is here.

Paarth I suggest you to get a nexus 4 16 GB if you get it for around 24k-25k otherwise gnex 16GB for 19k-20k is always a good option but consider a nexus 4 because believe it or not gnex is already close to 1.5 years old....
In the end its always the war between nexuses homie!!!!

I wouldn't recommend the Galaxy Nexus to anyone anymore. I bought mine in July and it was considered old even then. I'd go with the S4 or if you can, the Nexus 4.

Think you'll find everything you need there.
In my opinion, the phone is perfect in terms of build quality and performance. It has quad-core processor and that Tegra 3 chipset makes it wonderfull for hardcore gaming. However, that 1800mAh battery brings all those things down. 720p display and quad-core with that battery... If you use it with 3h+ display on you will have hard time making whole day with one charge.
But don't get me wrong! The HOX is decent phone and amazing for entertainment. I just wish it could have more juice like HOX+

Hi guys. Im new here although Im having my one X for a year. my comment for this device is brilliant! I upgraded to sense5, change the cover from black to white.it looks new & i didn't feel that this device is going outdated. cause the 4.7 inch screen is the perfect size for me & even u can see HTC One go on with it. still, the quad-core tegra3 with 1gb ram having very good experience in games. i can wait to see the next generation after S4 or One. not going to change neither one even i got extra money.

I'm a bit sick of my HOV, especially when screen is broken... I'm thinking about buying one of those 3 phones:
SGS III
Nexus 4 (the only thing I don't like it is no SD card slot)
One X
I'm wondering which one is easier and better for rooting... I have to say, that I'm a gamer I think SGS III is the most close to my heart, but I want to know some other users opinions
One X or One X+

But it has only 16GB build-in ROM... and I have almost 16GB of music so there's only something about 3GB free space for games, ROM zips, apks etc
But N4 has almost the same processor as SGS III, but 1GB of RAM more... I think N4 is better for games... and it will stay good longer than SGS III... and it's clear android... I forgot about something: 16GB internal storage is only theoretical... it gives something about 13GB to use, and my favourite musice I have to have close takse 11,5GB... why Google has removed SD slot :crying:
that panel with additional buttons in N4 can be turned off, right?
btw, I'm wondering why only one person was talking about HOX
I'd go with the One X/N4 if I were you
And whatever you do, just don't go for the S3... sure it's got an expandable memory slot....cheap plastic feel and that physical home button is a fail
in the end it comes down to personal preference
The One x is a really sleek and sexy phone
put few more bucks and go for one x+. Games are smooth in it,64gb space and plus development. You know whose there in one x+ thread, no need to mention.. Or Oppo find 5.
