I​ can understand this comment if it were to comes out seven months ago when 4.2.2 was new and Samsung galaxy s3 was the thing.
But now? With HTC one, s4, and Sony Z, released. Who are you bragging the smoothness nexus of 4.1.2 to?
Other than bragging rights, Nexus is still an awesome 2y/o phone that is still running great.

4.1.2 is what makes your phone magical.

That's true. I've reached 10 I think. But does that matter? I'm like if it works it works.

seriously go back to 4.1.2 it's an upgrade over 4.2.x. smooth, fast, and battery is great. i think 4.2.x was made for phones like the nexus 4 and newer androids. 4.1.2. was put out when the gnex was still king of pure android. i highly suggest going back. i did and im not upgrading until KLP comes out and hopefully runs well on the gnex

The Galaxy nexus is still all i want on a cellphone... i dont need a super computer on my palm...

The new beta works just fine, talk to Samsung about their f'd up kernel and leaks ....it runs great on galaxy nexus
So it's not chrome it's probably Samsung not having full hardware acceleration right in the leaks etc

There have been rumors of such but who knows...yea in az I don't have 4g so didn't matter between wimax and lte, but #1 thing I love is the same recovery all the time no built in kernel junk team win recovery is nice too...that makes it worth it to me and makes it really easier to run aokp , crossbones, cm9 , liquid smooth,miui ....and any kernel works vzw gsm ..no crazy odin el26 & flash or you brick your phone.. I loved the e4gt but it should not be that hard to flash anything

I am also new to the nexus forums, just arranged to buy one for 225. Woot! It'll be my fourth Android phone, and I'm finally ready to start getting my feet wet with some developing and/or theme making. Started with the Captivate, then the Infuse, currently on a Note, and now I'm adding the GNex as my secondary phone for developing. Although I think it has potential to displace my Note as my daily driver. I love Samsung phones. =].
My desire for getting into developing comes from my ORCD, as just flashing ROMs is not enough anymore.

Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S III?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you
If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....
That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

Should I Trade

Please don't flame me. Honest opinions from people who has used the Droid RAZR xt910 (gsm). Should I trade my Nexus for one? It is a white version with box and 16gb SD card. I'm using straight talk at&t so hopefully it'll work flawlessly. Any advice? I loved my Atrix 2 when I had it and I love my gnex. :/ But the RAZR is like a thin Atrix 2. Help!!!! Lol

Um I had it before and it is pretty good phone, but it is really slow compared to Gnex... also you get pretty lame updates compared to Gnex. Gnex just brings more to the table if you ask me

I'm not too worried about updates. It'll at least see jellybean. But the speed worries me. I've seen Antutu bench scores in the mid 6000s. Thats on stock ICS. I know numbers don't matter but the gnex is around the same in numbers. Does the droid just have more menue lag or something?

I personally doubt that it's gonna get a jelly bean update... also razr is just had more "android lag" even with ics update... I just don't think you will get a lot from the trade, that is all. Of course, choice is yours

Its got the exact same internals as the nexus. Think the motoblur will be the factor in no jellybean?

Motoblur is definitely going to be the factor. It's going to take Motorola ages to push out Jelly Bean for it and that's if they even decide to at all.
Well it took Samsung and Motorola similar times to push ICS to the gs2 and the RAZR. But Motorola gets worse rep than Samsung. :/ why's that?

Not much of an upgrade....save your money for the NX5/Moto X
The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries
If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.
It even features the custom roms:

Huge advantage. I have the 16gb n4 and its amazing. Sleek build quality with a quad core processor that blows away the gnex. The extra gig of ram is nice too. Side by side my n4 is 4x as fast as my gnex

I've had the GalNex for about a year and I recently jumped to the N4. I can tell you that you WILL notice a performance jump. I'm not sure why but GN lags when it's running 4.2.
If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.
