[Diss] Moving on from the GNex. Which phone would you choose ? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

If you had to get a new phone, what would it be, and why ?
I am looking at the Xperia P/S or HTC One S. They are cheap and good phones. Im pretty much done with playing with ROMs and Kernels Just want a fast and stable experiance.
The HTC is a nice phone but there are "rumors" about issues, while the xperia NXT line is quite bugless (I had the xperia U and gave it to my sis).
Im asking because my screen is broken and im looking to sell the device (I can get at least 200$ for it !).

The glass is broken at the top, LCD is fine. The phone started making some slight motherboard-related issues and besides, changing the front glass is either expenssive or risky. I bought it for like 500$ here (Israel) about 6 months ago, and now a new one would cost 450$. So 200$ at least is fair ^^.

Phones are pretty expenssive here. the quad core are over 520$. Nexus 4 is 350$ for 8GB but it sucks with all it's bugs and poor build quality.
I'd rather pay those 350$ for an xperia p/s or htc one s. Now sony is cool, but htc is very attractive due to it's processing power.
HTC one S-
Processing power
size
thickness
price - 480$
XPS-
processing power
Screen rez
hdmi
price - 400$-430$
XPP-
size
bright screen
build quality
PRICE ! 300$-320$
EDIT- SORRY FOR THE DOUBLE POST

i'd rather change the broken gnex to a brand new gnex..
lol..
sorry..so much love for gnex mate..

If I need to change my phone, I would like to try Windows Phone. May be Lumia 925.
I'm still worried that using Windows Phone will cause me problem with lack of apps and data sync with my current Google Account.
So if I choose another Android, it should be a phone with large battery capacity (a little disappointed with GNex's battery performance). Maybe Xperia ZL or HTC One. I definitely will try to avoid getting another Samsung phone (despite the price is really good).

The only phone which I would consider right now would be the HTC Butterfly, because it has a 3200 mha battery.
But currently I am still fine with the gnex. I will first wait what will come this year.

Xperia ZL C6506 is impressive. Pentaband, multiple LTE bands, unlocked, quad core, 5"screen, 1080p, 2GBP ram, 13MP camera. Order straight from Sony store.
Take away the sd card, slap on Key Lime Pie and there's your Nexus 5.

well obviously it won't get as much as development as the nexus 5 but then again i may be wrong :silly::silly:

I'm stuck on Verizon, so I'll likely be buying one of the new Motorola phones coming out in the fall. If there's something good unlocked, I'll probably jump on it. If there are more expensive ones with a better quality/better support, I may be willing to wait until my contract is up in June.

You can never have enough of RAM despite what you think.
And to say the uograde from the gnex to the n4 is not much of an upgrade is just a sweeping statement. I would say it's not worth it to upgrade from the gnex to the n4, but if you have the cash, why not?

Is this a good deal?

I have a $250 Walmart gift card. I'm due for an upgrade on AT&T, but the GC would make this cost about the same as any of the new phones on contract.
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Samsung-Galaxy-I9250-GSM-Cell-Phone-Black-Unlocked/19612825
I noticed the storage is 16gb instead of 32, but that's not a big deal as I believe the storage is expandable.
Just want to consult the GNex experts

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The memory isn't expandable as the gnex has no SD slot.
Its 16gb because its the GSM model.
The GSM model is better in my eyes as it seems to have less problems than the vzw 4g version and it can be used all around the world.
300 dollars after using you gc seems an OK price.
I guess the question is, get this? Or buy something on contract like the Xperia Ion (should be out in a week or so)

That's true, but I'd like a new device sooner than later, the One X and S3 are a ways off, especially the S3. I do fear a lack of support for the Ion, but the camera is top notch, and that is genuinely important for snapping pictures of the kids. My captivate is running fine with ICS, but the camera is only ok. Plus, I'd like a little bit bigger screen

The nexus is great for snapping pictures of kids because it has an instant shutter.
Phones aren't great at taking pictures for framing. They're great for snapping quick shots for Facebook and quick emails.
My G2x had a crisp camera but couldn't snap my kid without motion blur.

What do you guys think of the One X????

I don't own a nexus but I considered buying that beautiful phone many times. But now I think I'm gonna get the HTC One X. What do you guys think of that phone? Any of you getting it?
It's a nice phone.....but not worth the upgrade from a Galaxy Nexus.
Tegra 3 ain't too great for starters. But luckily they have a Krait option in the One XL.
The protruding camera has poised to be a small problem also.
And it's just so damn expensive right now.
Will probably end up holding this GN till the next nexus device comes out as I just got it. Unless the SGSIII is too damn amazing to pass up.

But in all seriousness, don't think you'll find many people with the Galaxy Nexus who will dump it for a Sense device, a mere 4 months (at most) into owning the GNex. Just not that big of an upgrade, even if it was stock Android 4.

Cool I respect that. There is no doubt that the nexus is an awesome phone.
I'm not a fan of tegra 3 really, omap or qualcom preference. But the one x looks stunning. And I want HTC to sell a ton of these to get back in the game and mix things up.
Nexus always for me...
Camera is a lot better than I expected on the Nexus. Was expecting the worse, took a few snaps after updating to 4.0.4 and it's pretty good. White balance and color tones etc...are true and accurate.
In low light, there's a bit of noise but it's to be expected. Because it's 5MP can tell some shots just can't get all the detail when zoomed in and looking at the pics.
But the One X camera is a beast. The 4FPS is nuts, it's just continuous and stays in focus too for the most part. But it seems that it still isn't the best which is surprising. Just competitive with the other best camera smartphones.

Yea i'm over there looking at threads and replying and stuff.
Probably not now that I got a Galaxy Nexus. I was thinking about getting the AT&T version when it came out but I probably wont now. Doesn't seem worth it.
I might use my upgrade on an iPhone 5 or something or SGSIII depending on how the phones are.
Then sell one of them for the new Nexus in November/december
While the phone nerd in me wants the newest toys I know I would hate sense. I hear its gotten a lot better but I love plain Android. I tried miui and restored my back up 5 min later lol
Sent from my iPhone smashing Galaxy Nexus
I think One X is a significant upgrade:
1. cpu is almost twice as powerful
2. gpu is 2-3 times more powerful
3. camera is a LOT better accoridng to reviews
4. Display is apprantely the best on a smartphone ever. (this one may not be a very big deal for us but still a good upgrade)
5. Design is just awesome, seems a lot more robust and slim than gnexus.
When it falls short is the software. I've never owned an andorid phone other than gnexus so I don't know: do you guys think vanilla ics will be fully functional on this phone and when do you think it'd be available?
I'll try and get it when it comes to ATT

From my experience......AOSP on any other phone besides a Nexus is nice, but it just doesn't feel right. There are some small minor things here and there that just makes you want a Nexus instead so you don't have to deal with the little bugs.
It will definitely get Vanilla ICS eventually, idk how long....it looks like the One X will have a good dev community behind it. A lot of people are thinking it's one of the great phones ever lol
The CPU is better, but its literally just 2 more cores of the cortex-A9 which is what we're running also. And nothing is really utilizing it efficiently.
GPU is better but thats not hard honestly. Nvidia apparently isn't using any real new tech in it, they said it themselves somewhere. I'd wait for "Keplar" to be in it with Tegra 4 revision.
Screen is a toss up, it could be a lot better, and it might not...idk i don't have one lol. I have a feeling its nice, but idk if its a drastic improvement over SAMOLED HD.
Either way....best to know what Samsung does with SGSIII before making any decision. It might turn out like the SGSII and Sensation where SGSII just ended up smoking it. Though, the Sensation had a great dev community and definitely one of the largest outside the Nexus, and SGS series phones.

Totally agree
I'm usually on a one phone a year cycle with the Nexus phones, but since my GN screen is cracked I will probably jump on the SIII early summer and then sell that for the new Nexus and Jellybean at the end of the year. If the SIII comes packed with a bad ass Exynos processor then I'll definitely do this.
One thing about the nexus though, how strong is the screen? I mean it's not gorilla glass. Is it really resistant?
Definitely a great phone, i doubt ill be trading my Nexus for it though. i have convinved an iPhone user to buy it for his next upgrade so ill get to try it out

It is similar to GG in terms of scratch resistance, from personal experiences using SII and now GN. Sand seems to be the only thing that scratches it, so make sure u dont take it unprotected to the beach . it wont be as strong though, but under normal day to day conditions it should be fine, scores well in drop tests.

[Q] should i sell my Gnex ?

Hey guys,
iam thinking of selling my galaxy nexus and buying one of the new quad core devices,
i was really excited about the new coming Huawei Ascend D quad since it will features the fastest CPU and a 16 core GPU. However, i have recently heard that it will be delayed because of some issues with the CPU until late Augest or September.
i already have a Sony Xperia S and after a small comparison between them in term of screen, camera, build quality, CPU/GPU i think that the other device was slightly better, i have already found a buyer but i still hesitate because the Gnex will get Android 4.1 and 5.x before any other device out there.
so, what do you think guys??
sorry for my poor English

The galaxy S3 has the same screen as the galaxy nexus. However, the last one has more pixel density because the screen is slightly smaller, in my opinion the sony xperia s has a better screen than both with 344 ppi reality display with mobie bravia engine,
The HOX has several problems already with wi-fi connection and some other software issues,
I dont prefer the user interface of the LG optimus 4X
Thats way i hesitate because i dont see a phone which is worth buying right now in my opinion
Besides all of them are cortex-A9
So, i think my point is clear now

Hmm.. better battery life ?? Snapdragon S3 and TI OMAP 4460 are built on 45 nm
Exynos quad 32 nm and the snapdragon S4 28 nm
I know how my S3 works, you only get one CPU online + full adreno 220 support,
The other CPU will only work if you need extra power which is rare
So it is only about battrey life, you dont really need a dual core or a quad core CPU.
I like the idea of big. LITTLE CPU which is basically contains a powerfull cortex-A15 core and a cortex-A5 core which do easy to medium tasks efficiently, in case you need more power the other core wil be online to finish the job and then ofline again

Back to my point, name me a few applications that use more than 2 cores. As far as the battery life, when you have all four running, battery is gonna take a hit

This is correct for the current quad core cortex-A9 CPUs
However, things will be different with quad core cortex-A15 CPUs since they are so efficient
nVidia tegra 3 has 4 + 1 CPU, so they are telling us that . Our CPU is not so efficient since it was built on 40 nm and that's why we need one underclocked CPU to save battrey for the background process, people like woooow this device has 5 cores !!!!! Iam going to buy it now but they don't really know the truth about it
In other words.. we will have "real" quad core CPUs with a cortex-A15 in term of battery efficient and speed

Well, i respect your opinion and thanks for the one star rating.
However, i like to "learn" from my mistakes,
As i said before, i think that buying 2 phones of the same generation was a mistake
And that was not going to be happened if i asked people how knows about phones more than me before buying the second identical peice of plastic.
There is no harm in asking people for help and then make my own choice.
That's why we have this section, to "ask" other people
To get some informations from them
And then to make our choice

When apps become multithreaded it will have more practical use. And what? The four cores don't always fire. Battery on my S3 blows away battery on my nexus and it is only 100mah larger than the extended battery.

You seem like you want us to justify YOUR purchase. Its your money, do some research, if you don't like the phones out right now, then wait. Simple.

My question was,
should I sell my Gnex and keep the Sony,
And "wait" for new and better devices or should I keep both?
I don't know why ppl keep telling me its your choice
Ofcourse it is my choice, iam only asking for other ppl opinions
Which will help me to make my final descion.
Just because iam thinking to sell my Gnex doesn't make me a bad guy
Isn't it?
Please, no more Angry Birds, help me or don't waste my time
I wouldn't worry about it.

No ones the bad guy in here. Simply put, whether you know it or not, chances are you've already made up your mind and like others have said, you are just looking for justification for whatever you are about to do. That simple. Whatever responses you get here are completely biased and might not reflect on your way of thinking.

I've been saving money for sometime to buy a Gnex but I'm a little uncomfortable knowing that it's an old phone, especially since google announced the Nexus 4. I honestly don't care about a quad-core processor or a 8 MP camera but what do you say guys? Is it still worth it?

If it is your first Nexus phone then N4 for sure. The GN is a really great phone but all the reviews are saying that the N4 is a great value for what you get. Plus, you may have a hard time finding a GN now. Why not get the latest and "greatest" Plus, for $300 or $350, if you keep it in nice condition and decide you don't like it, you should be able to get at least an easy $200 for a used N4 and can probably get a GN in excellent condition for around the same price.

That's like buying a ferrari with a 200hp engine, you will care and will regret it, get the nexus 4.
I would choose the N4 for the battery life alone....
Why you should not:
you will still have official os updates.
you do not care about SoC or camera
GNex has AMOLED instead of IPS
Why you should:
still, N4 has quad core SoC and better camera
it is not that expensive compared to other mid-end phones
N4 has IPS instead of AMOLED
I guess it is up to you.
you should weigh which is more important: your satisfaction or money you have to spend.
n4 = better specs for same price (if you live somewhere where play store is available)
Nexus 4 for sure. Unless you don't care about spec and you can find Gnex for much cheaper price

Thats the problem. I live in brazil so no play store for me. Thats why I'm between buying the gnex here and finding someone who buy the phone and then ship it to me, but then there're taxes and stuff...

if your kernel supports it, u can even OC to 2ghz
although i wudnt recommend doing that
thats right
i use franco kernel and overclock based on requirements but what i'm trying to say is TI explains that OMAP4460 soc supports a maximum of 1.5 ghz but the most reliable CPU-Z app says the soc is capable of 192MHz to 1.80GHz....If its capable of that then definitely GNex deserve the Key Lime Pie update and also Google Glass has the same specs of Gnex....:fingers-crossed:

KLP is said to be optimised for 512 mb RAM phones as well so there isn't any reason why we shouldn't get it
KLP FTW! :good: :highfive:

Well, no offense but you'd have to be an idiot to repair your Gnex for 300$ instead of buying the N4.
I have a Gnex myself and a few mates of mine have a N4 so I can compare. N4 has the better screen, it's obviously faster and the build quality is quite okay, just like the build quality is of the gnex is quite okay too.
i am
Read it at ur own risk the following content will be long and BORING.........bought it in 0$ contract but had manufacture defects and died so rogers gave me a bb bold 9900 and also returned me the GNex...i loved that device so much hence the expense......sadly i am in india so nexus devices come here after a long time...Nexus 7 has been lauched here last month and LG brought in Nexus 4 not google play...its a long boring history....so GNEX always the device for me till GOOGLE X phone
