Hello everybody !
I'm so tired of my I9003 that i've decided to change it for a way better smartphone, but the choice is not very simple...
The Galaxy Nexus has a long term support from Google, but on the other hand the S3 has a quad-core processor, but i'm not sure that it's really useful with the apps currently available, so my question is : which one is the best for someone who plays games on his phone and sometimes watches movies ?
The S3 is really expensive and the Galaxy Nexus can be found at 300€ so as long as I'm not rich... I'd prefer to go for the Nexus.
Please help me make this choice, you know these devices better than I do.
Thank you
It depends.
If you and to live on the bleeding edge, and many updates, then go for the Gnex
If you need more power, but don't want fast updates, then go for the SGSIII
But its kinda dumb to create a "wich phone should I buy" thread in here, because most of the people here are biased towards the galaxy nexus. (Same with the SGSIII section)
Dude....... Google is your friend. There are a dozen threads exactly like this. I'd say go for the nexus, as will most everyone here as it is the NEXUS forum. Go ask the same question on the gs3 forum and they will tell you to go with that...... SMH

Nexus.
You get long-term support for all of your ROM/hacking/techie fun. It's still an unbelievable phone. And it's not as expensive.
if you care about specs, then go for galaxy s3 or htc one x ( both have some pros and cons)
if you just need a phone to customize and have fun with roms etc then go for galaxy nexus.
simple,
now hit the thanks button.
As we have seen there's no new Nexus device, only a new Nexus 7 tablet what means that the Galaxy nexus still is android's top device.
But when you go for specs, you should choose the s3.
As i can say, i am currently running Android 4.1 on my Galaxy nexus and it's awesomly smooth. Beautiful transitions and animations on a beautiful screen. I love my Galaxy Nexus.
Id go for a galaxy nexus if you are planning to keep your phone for a long time
I had a s1 and a s2 when the s2 came out most of the best developers switched from the s1 to the s2 and now the same is happening to the sgs2 i have the both the galaxy nexus and the s2 and the only thing keeping me from selling my s2 is because of the fm radio that the galaxy nexus dont have
If you are poor like me go for a galaxy nexus

Galaxy Nexus: Fast Updates, Amazing aesthetics, Great support from devs...
'Nuff said.
Hey everyone I am coming back to android after putzing with the iPhone 4S, I am just bored and would like to get back into using custom ROM's. I am torn between 3 phones, the 3 are the Galaxy Nexus, the Galaxy S3, and the Evo 4G LTE. Now one thing I am worried about on the Galaxy Nexus is the camera quality, how is the camera? I would also like your opinions after owning the phones for months at a time.
Cheers!
Cut out the EVO4G. It doesn't stand a chance between the Nexus and the S3.
If you want better developer support, go for the Nexus.
If you want a better camera and better hardware, go for the S3.
I have a Nexus right now and I have no urge to change to a S3 even if I had a choice to. This has made me SO happy.
The camera quality is amazing, it's nice having a quad band phone, the ROMs are great, and getting Jelly Bean today is AMAZING
A big reason I am considering the GN is because I heard the US S3 has a Dual Core, as compared to its EU counterpart, I really like the developmental platform for the Nexus that is why I am highly considering it. How are the touch screen home buttons and such? Do they cause any trouble?
Also does it have HDR?

The home buttons are amazing. Honestly I'd never wanna go back to "real" buttons again. The s3 is dual core. Personally I'd say get the gnex if you want a lot of development but I'd lie if I said I didn't like the look of the s3

I would suggest getting the unlocked Galaxy Nexus and using it on Straight Talk. $45 a month for unlimited talk and text and 2gb of data(or so). If you need more data t mobile has some great cheap pre paid plans. The phone will cost you more up front, but in the long run you'll save money. There is a very in depth thread about it here in the general section.

Quote for truth.
Camera is not so hot on the Nexus. If that is your major concern, probably would get the SGSIII.
I had all 3 of these phones and switched back to a Galaxy Nexus.
The Evo had to many Sense Reloading issues and the multitasking was a joke.
I got rid of the S3 because the dialer kept freezing up as well as other apps. Plus I didn't like the home button. I'm afraid that over time its gonna break. Also I dont care what anyone else says, the phone is slippery.
I chose the nexus because I moved to straight talk. Plus it'll have timely updates. Ain't no telling when or if the S3 or Evo while get them. However, I'm sure they will get the update

Thanks for the great opinions! I think I am going to go with the GN. I want the vanilla android. Also I am fortunate enough to not have to pay for my bill so that is of no worry to me!

Good call! :good:
Hey people, I am currently an iPhone user and what I do on it is download themes, tweaks, apps. I got tired of using an iPhone and I thought that whatever I do on an iPhone, I can do it a lot better on an android. I was currently looking at other android phones but since there isn't one specific android phone like iPhone, I don't know which one will suit me. My eyes were on the Galaxy Nexus for a while and I have done research on it like reviews and how customization works. I know the Galaxy Nexus came out a year ago and by now new phones came out may have more improved features than the Galaxy Nexus, like the One S or GSIII or the One X. I don't know how custom roms work or kernels and what do they do so if you can explain about it that would be helpful. The sad thing about the Galaxy Nexus is that it only comes with a 16GB model, and I'm not sure if its going to be enough or not.
So my question is that at this time is it worth to get the Galaxy Nexus?
Yes. Unless you want an HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S3, which are a lot more money.

16gb shouldn't be an issue, lots of cloud services (Google Play Music, Dropbox and Picasa) to take care of that. All are good devices, Galaxy Nexus is the best if you want the quickest updates to ROMs, but generally the wait for Galaxy S3 is only a month more, so compare the hardware, and buy the one that suits you most, since both these devices have lots of developers working on them
Awesome phone, just switched from S2 and its much better. Maybe because its a Google phone so the hardware and software compliment each other. Also the fact that it will get continued software support from Google makes it a smarter buy over many other phone.(Took forever for ICS to land on S2). And not to mention the subsidized price( 350$ now!google promoting android phones). You def wont regret it.
Thanks for your replies, this question also came into mind. Do you guys think I should wait because maybe Google is going to introduce another Nexus device sometime this Fall, probably the new device may be better than the Galaxy Nexus.

Yes I would wait. The fact that in about 5 - 6 months you will have the new Nexus lines out, I would wait. The Galaxy SIII is a sexy phone and based on rumors it will be getting Jellybean soon, but I prefer pure Google.
If you our desperate, get a Nexus S for cheap on ebay that you can use as a throwaway, backup, etc.. type phone but with all goodies of Jellybean.
Thanks for your reply, but when the new Nexus comes out, will the Galaxy Nexus still get the fast android updates like any other Google phone does and will the Galaxy Nexus go up to Android 5.0?

It definitely should. The nexus s has been getting updates so there is no reason the galaxy nexus won't stay up to date for at least another year.

Ok thats good, I don't think there will be that much hardware improvements for about 2 years so thats good. But is the Nexus One still getting the updates. And about the Nexus One and the Nexus S, since they are Google phones, do they still get the fast updates or do they have to wait 3 months after the update came out?

i think its totally worth it, only today i moved from iphone 4s to white galaxy nexus, i was totally impressed with jelly bean 4.1.1 , and i would strongly recommend to consider nexus as primary choice
So I was an iphone user myself until recently, I got an HTC One X and it is an amazing phone, the screen and speed are great, made me love android... however I found the battery life to be awful. When Jellybean came out I found myself wanting to try it and so replaced my One X with a Galaxy Nexus, and I think it has much more advantages. Firstly the battery seems to last longer, and you can buy a replacement spare. The Jelly Bean OS is perfect and all other features match the One X. The only thing that doesnt is the camera in true specs but I find its hard to discern any difference for day to day snaps.

I did the same thing, Nexus wins.
Thank you all for replying, has anyone used a Sony Xperia S, just curious how different it works with HTC and Samsung.
Dont get it. A mate has it and is selling suffers from yellow splotches on the screen and a locked bootloader
Can anyone tell me how custom roms and kernels work and what not to do to mess up the phone. Also is there a way to restore a galaxy nexus back to factory state, as if you got the phone brand new.
You want to know how custom roms work together or you just want to know how they improve the experience?
To answer your second question, yes you can put it back to factory settings.

I've come to think that 16gb may not be enough for me, I had an iPhone 4 16gb and got so many games, movies, music, etc. that I was left with 4gb and my phone became slow. I don't have a data plan so I can listen to music on Google Play while im out. I was wondering if the GSM Galaxy Nexus makes a difference between the CDMA Galaxy Nexus. If it doesn't make a difference with hardware because I saw many people on different forums that have problems with CDMA Galaxy Nexus and I want to get it because it is available in a 32gb model and they are world phones so it has a sim card slot but I'm not sure if it would work with T-Mobile.
CDMA galaxy nexus will not work on T-Mobile. Also there isn't a difference in hard wise between CDMA and GSM but CDMA takes much longer to get updates while GSM is almost instantly.

Hey Guyz
How are You
I have a question regarding buying a phone
my Galaxy nexus broke so am thinking of two phones
Samsung Galaxy nexus 2 ( Superior ) i know its rumors but i heard google gonna lunch products in 5nov
or
Samsung Galaxy Note 2
What has better spec ? do u think the nexus 2 will be better ?
any conference that will show us some info or shape or the nexus 2 maybe ?
Neeed help please confused what to wait for ;D
No one will know about the next nexus.... but I've heard a lot about the note two and it seems like an amazing phone.
Fantasy phones usually have better specs, and I love the pure Android experience the Nexus line provides.

Currently have the iPhone 5 (which I'm kinder bored of already) sold my S3 for it. I bought it for £599 in the UK 32gig version but can sell it for £639 - Thinking of doing this. Back to my question, is the Note II worth it?
Its keep the iPhone 5 and get the Note 10.1 or sell the 5 and get the Note II

Keep the iPhone 5 and buy the Note II too. Selling the iPhone is never a good idea, sorry.
And about worthiness? Well to me none of these #latest# toys are worthy. Be it 700$ plastic Note or a metal iPhone. But yes, again, to me, aesthetics matters, it'll give you peace and desire for long run, but how long? This ain't your 90's BMW that you will be wanting to keep, as soon as a new one pops up you'll say just frak this. So, you gotta pay what you gotta pay

SIII?
I'm looking at signing my contract again with Sprint. I don't mind being stuck on a contract for 2 year.
I want a phone that will be decent for 2 more years. I have the HTC EVO “supersonic” running Jelly bean. But it can’t run the latest games and HD apps I like on my Nexus 7.
When the Note was announced I waited, but it never came to Sprint. When the Samsung Galaxy S3 came out I wasn’t impressed because it was gimped dual core for $199 and I wanted a bigger screen. The Note will probably be $299 on contract and now I can get an S3 from Amazon for $149. Is the Note 2 worth double the price? I don’t know if I need a big screen now that I have a Nexus 7.
Pros of the Note 2:
-Double the RAM
-Quad core
-Stylus (taking notes at business meetings)
…But is it worth the price tag? Will there be better xda support for this in 2 years versus the S3?
You should also give a huge shout out to the battery life, it's incredible. At least to me.
I upgraded from a Desire HD, I was not impressed with the iPhone 5 but the Note 2 gives me that WOW effect that I wanted to have when I upgrade my phone. I was kind of worried about paying as much as 555€ (No contract) and had my thoughts if it was worth it but after 2 days using this device , totally. I don't find the size to big either. I am wearing skinny jeans and don't feel it to be bulky. It's probably because of the thin profile. But I have to agree that having an iOS device is also a good thing. (iPad 2 here)

I haven't found many things that iOS can't do that android can do. ( including widgets ) There is apparently a difference in the way they multi task...but they both get it done. Android has NFC, but that's hardware not software. And even now, I think NFC is just a play thing currently. (one that I admit I look forward to tinkering with)
I think the biggest difference is how moding is set up. On iOS, anything fourth party is under cydia. Any mod that I want to do to my iPhone, I just open cydia, hit a button, and it's done. I don't have to crawl web pages looking for a certain tweak and then get it to my phone. On the other hand, Google lets a lot of customization through the play store. Which is great!
From what I've seen, besides hardware optimization (if that is done) with roms like CM, they're just Android with pre-installed tweaks. Where as on iOS it's like you have Vanilla android, and you pick and choose what custom tweaks you want. I personally prefer the way iOS modding is done. But I can't wait to explore what Android has to offer. Though I am concerned at the apparent news that the CM team has no plans to work on the phone. But I have to try and find out if that is really important to me or not.
By the way, OP, idk if you haven't jail broken iOS before, but I'm guessing not since you're on the iPhone 5 and haven't commented how (afaik) that jail break isn't out yet, even tethered. I suggest not selling it, and jail breaking it. Or buy a cheap 3gs, 4 or 4s and jailbreaking that and playing with all the tweaks you can do.
As a new commer to the android community, it seems there is an ignorance at what iOS can do to many of it's most vocal users. Both systems and devices have pros and cons, just decide what flavour you'd rather have now. Or have both! switch one phone out every other week or something hehe. With all the tweaking i've done on my iPhone, i've never once had a stability issue...so it could be your back up as well.
Hope I've helped inform you a bit, and sorry if i've made any mistakes about android.

you have to look at it like this. on android you reinstall the whole os when you flash a rom there are many roms some of them come with apps that do what you say cydia does, and they are probably cydia inspired so you can have that on android to as part of the os
can you cange anything in the system on ios? on android I can easily modify any file, system or not

sadly both ios and android have users who bought a religion and not a phone.
I think you might find android more unstable than ios it often is before you learn what not to do so having a backup is a smart move and when you have your first bootloop don't panic just hit xda and find out what you did wrong (yeah it's going to happen and it's going to be your own fault)

best ever phone is NOT the same as best in every way possible and not all people have the same preference. sure its a good phone nobody's saying it isn't but on the other hand s3, onex+ and iphone 5 are very very good phones too and I have no doubt that for some people the note and note2 is simply to massive

I wouldnt sell the iphone 5. I would add a little more money and buy the note 2 instead of the note 10.1. The note 2 is the most amazing device ive ever had (ipad and galaxy S3 being both second). But the iphone 5 is also great and has great value.

I was a galaxy note 1 owner and yes it's hard to get back to a smaller screen but with time you'll get use to it again. The note 2 isn't the only great smart phone out there by the way. But it depends on the OP it's just a matter of choice. Note 2 is fantastic and now we've just received the update for multiwindow multitasking.

I don't care about that.. Cyanogenmod can not cover the gn2 features with plain vanilla android.. Multi view its a so long awaited feature.. Smart stay and many others tw features that cyanogenmod will plain lack..
