Convince me to buy the GNex

5 months into my 2 year contract with my S2 and running Cyanogenmod 9. I really like AOSP and wish I got the Galaxy Nexus. Right now, I can sell the S2 for £240 and get the GNex for £370. But I can't justify the £130 difference. All I would get is a working camcorder and and an amazing screen for poorer battery life, camera and no sd support.
Convince me.

Don't buy it, especially if you need convincing to actually buy it :-/.

Worst phone ever. The screen is too small, and the battery can never get me through a four a day voyage without my charger.

How was it...
oh yeah, don´t feed the troll!
Nah, seriously... there is already a lot of information and comparatives between both phones... so... just take a little time researching and you´ll find your answer.

You're making the biggest in your entire life to buy this phone! why do you need it in the first place?
NOTE : before buying it , prepare your Funeral first and then the extra remaining money , you can use it to buy the Gnex because after buying it you may have a heart attack!!

Anybody asking to be convinced to buy anything, might also like being told what to do. Get an iphone.

Convince yourself and and if the gnex isn't for you then good luck

It's a good phone.

Wow. So much flaming and name calling. I've done my research, I know the difference between the Spec sheets. I just wanted to get an idea about how people are liking the galaxy nexus, the daily user experience, battery life, build quality, stock ics, the screen and so on. Instead I got lots of sarcasm.
OK I get the main idea. Mods feel free to close thread.

i had an S2 and sold it earlier in the year as i got a free Xperia Ray which i thought i'd be happy with but yesterday i got a really good deal on a mint Nexus.. and i couldnt be happier. Battery life seems pretty much consistent with my S2, i left it charged over night, took it off charge at 6.15 and im at 52% now, thats with listening to music on the way to work and some web browsing and probably a little more than average playing with it as its new. I am pretty happy with that. The Ray for such a small phone was actually worse for me in terms of battery life.. maybe it was the widgets etc I had installed.
As for advantages over the s2? for me its the missing Samsung logo from the front never liked that.. and there is a nice feeling to knowing its a 'pure' android experience.. my S2 was full of bloatware that could only be deleted by rooting. I dont take pictures really with the phone so im not in anyway dissapointed with the camera on the nexus. It is a little bulkier than the s2 but i like the shape and feel.. i cant imagine using a bigger phone though.. its the full of my hand when holding it..
in terms of performance i cant see there being much in it between the s2 and this..
Its all down to individual preference really.. a few s2 owners i've showed it to say they would miss the physical home button etc.. and the headphone socket on the bottom means you need to turn it upside down in your shirt pocket..
Also the lack of sd slot is a downside.. i dont mind it.. but it would have been nice to have the option to stick a 32gb card in there.. or at least make 32gb the standard internal memory..
So far no complaints..

if you get excited about a new nexus device, then this will probably disappoint

so I just saw this online and got real excited. Being the owner of a Galaxy Nexus and an LG ally (both which i loved to death) I was excited to see this until I read the actual story. What a f*ckn disappointment. Its pretty much our phone but with a few added bad ideas. Is it just me?

Yeah being an lg things looking bad for the next nexus.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

I wouldn't be surprised if LG or at least someone else makes the next Nexus. I highly doubt it'd come in an 8 GB version. Since they never seem to have an SD card slot, going down in size doesn't make any sense.

LG hardware isn't bad, it's the software and nexus fixes that.
I think these specs are wrong though.

we need to stop supporting this non micro sd card slot non sense!

I don't like the non removable battery and no sd card slot. Sorry but if we continue buying products like this its going to encourage manufacturers not to include these things as standard anymore and make it more complicated for the user and more expensive, to fix things.
For example just as the keyboard on smartphones is almost non existent, a smartphone future where there is no expandable memory as sd card slot is going to to enable manufacturers to shoot prices up for simple internal memory storage model upgrades. Like the Nexus 7, $50 extra for only 8gb's more??

Uhhh did op read the article.. ...yes it has bad ideas but the optimus g sports the s4 krait quad which also means adreno 305 that thing is way way faster then our phones

Ya maybe if you consider 8gb with no expansion enough. I still kick myself for not getting a 32gb s3. but at least i can expand if i need to. With a non removable battery on top of it. Ill pass on this one for sure

Nexus is overrated, tablet or phone.. too many other better devices out there. nexus is basically a device that google gets made from which ever manufacturer can make it the cheapest..

Holy cow. That thing is beautiful. Maybe they've been listening to the customers by bringing back the SD slot etc. The choice of colours is pretty nice too. Also, anyone have any clarification on what this "with Google" thing is about, is it something to do with the multi-manufacturer/multi-nexus information we had a while ago, or is it simply going to be placed on all android phones in future?

"With Google" I suspect it is a branding that is gong to be coming to all devices running JB out of the gate going forward.
As nice as this device looks, is this supposed to compete with the Note 2? It seems to have no extra software tailored to use the extra real estate in any meaningful way over the One S even. Likewise 2000mAh battery on a 1080p screen? Unless the sharp screen technology is extremely energy efficient or I'd be surprised to see the device push 3 hours of screen on time at automatic brightness, which given its push as a media consuming / watching device because of its full HD screen is a bit woeful.
To me the device is a bit like 'the emperors new clothes'.... But damn they are sexy clothes.....

I think you're right, it's neither here or there in terms of size. If they were going to go direct with the Samsung they needed a bigger battery (at least 3000mah) and a 5.5 inch screen. I think this is just a "big phone", not a true phablet.

Holy crap!
That is amazing!
I'd trade in my HOX for that bad boy!
It has seriously good looks, has an MicroSD card slot, yes yes yes!
Onboard storage is lacking but I'm guessing that's to conserve space for the MicroSD slot, so meh...
I wonder how thin and light it is!

Its also called the Butterfly not the Butterly.

If you ask me, and you haven't, but I'll put my two cents worth in anyway! It just looks a little taller than the One X. Width and depth seem similar given the "impression" the pics give. Obviously HTC have more to offer than just a bigger screen unlike Apple with their iPhone 5!!!!

Pixel Density of 440ppi as opposed to the iPhone 5's 326ppi, take that retina display!

D: I hope this comes to Europe it looks amazing!

I'm almost annoyed I'm in a contract for my HOX now as I know I'm going to want that so hard when it's released!
So much for HTC not diluting the market this year!!!

This phone will also be waterproof, the nexus variant will be released when the LG nexus is announced. It says on the back of the device with google because it probably has the hardware specs that meet the standards of the Nexus program.
Their are a lot if people saying that this phone has with google because it runs jelly bean out the box not true. Their are many device being released with jelly bean with no with google on the back if it.
Another reason why I believe this is a nexus phone because surely when they unveiled it they would have talked about the hardware but they didn't, because if they do then what are they going to talk about when they unveil the nexus edition in the coming weeks. They also have sad this phone will be available during December so why announce it now.
This is HTC's way of hinting they will be releasing a nexus phone. It looks best in black because then the finish of it is not shiny. Another thing I have noticed is the charger port has a flap that obviously points to it being water proof. They have only spoken about the display ppi they haven't spoken about the screen tech. This will only be spoken about when the google nexus phones are unveiled.
This is certainly the best nexus phone coming out easily beating the LG nexus. The only thing I want from this now is a good battery life which I think will be the same as the one x U.S variant, but slightly better since it will have android 4.2 running on it

I thought we had moved on from the megapixel myth. Bigger is not always better....

I hope it still has use of the HTC Image Sense chip.

Looks great, but I honestly still like the One X's design better. Also, that new Sense variation looks weird, what with those strange icons on the left.

It's probably customizable, those could be widgets.

Our note 2 next to samsung's newest 'phablets' the "mega"

So I saw this article of size comparisons between phones, most notably the new Samsung phones named "mega" 5.8 and 6.3 respectively.
Does this mean that the note 3 is NOT going to be coming in the 6.3 flavor, and all the fuzz about the samsung bluetooth controller supporting "up-to 6.3" devices was just for this new "mega" phablet?
Look at the pics and tell me what you guys think.

Those are small Galaxy Tab 2 - 7 inchers. Not big phones.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 2

Yes I didn't want to compare the mega phones to ours, as ours has better specs, but I DID want to show what maybe a future note 3 might look like, in the sense that there was a probability that it would be 6.3 inches.
With that said, I used to think that 6.3 was not going to be much bigger than our phones, but looking at the pictures says otherwise. I am a big guy 6'1 and I don't think it would be practical to have such a big phone.

I hope the Note 3 looks just like that. The 6.3" one. I think it looks awesome.

Depending on price and frequencies, I'd rock one as a small tablet on the TMobile $30 plan (using data only). It's a better price than any tablet plan. Worst case scenario it might work on the AT&T tablet plans. That's my backup if the TMobile plan gets pulled. I dislike voip but I dislike high bills even more.

I have my Nexus 7 got my tablet needs. No need to get any bigger of a phone. I already feel like a meathead walking around while talking on this phone. I couldn't imagine holding the 6.3 or rumored 6.4 Note. Just to big.
With that said, just get a Note, 8.0 that has built in phone capabilities.

No bigger for me. I just want faster performance and a better radio.

hopefully next SGS N3 will have bigger battery & better body design. we all know, how android is when it come to power mngmnt. picture of mega phablet on post #1 looks like a SGS N2 that'd been photoshoped. back button inverted. anyway, will display res size 1080p make real difference in daily use for average joe with smartphone ?

I giggle with confusion when people comment about users who talk on "big" devices, I chuckle in dismay when said owners of "big" devices say they "feel funny" talking on such a big device ............
-_-
Walking into a bar I hear "Is that a Note 2..... you're crazy that thing is too big"
In my head I would say .... ".... and you're out of line. ...^_^"...
Instead I did them one even better. ...I continued using my device and completely ignored him, in fact this is the first time I'm making reference to his comment and this was 10/12..... him and others can have a _/.... so many hypocrites and malnourished credulous followers. How do you get off saying a device screen is "too small"... yet later a device is "too big".. those sentiments are fine. ..however you missed the most important piece. . "For you".... get it ? The perfect device for you may not be the same for you. ..perhaps there are individuals who rather talk on a 10.1 in screen, while you prefer a smaller screen, why is either party concerned about the others preference? ??????? Irrelevant. Why voluntarily get a device or partake in something then speak negative and offer complaints, nobody forced you to get this phone. ..^_^

Really just makes me want a bigger Note. Now I just can't wait for the Note 3, since the Mega is a bit underpowered
noted for future reference on my Note 2

I prefer the larger screen on the Mega 6.3 but DPI is horrid. 1080P is a must these days. I don't mind the mid tier CPU since I don't game and prefer the longer battery life.

They didn't have a video, but the screen looks ok in the ubergizmo review's pictures.

G Pro or Wait?

Finally got my termination letter from Sprint and will be switching to ATT sometime this month. I want to get a "Phablet" I know the new G2 coming out has a smaller screen and the Note 3 is going to have a bigger screen (Don't want to pay $300 for it either). I've only got until the end of the month, I don't really keep up with the new things coming out, is there anything really worth waiting for?

It really depends on what you are looking for. HTC will have there Phablet out soon, but honestly I would still take the ogp over any phone that's coming out for the next 8 months or so, lol. I've had tons of phones and as far as the g pro goes, it's the best features of every phone I've came across so far

That's with 5+ hours of screen on time, mind you.

Picked them both up today and a tablet, paying the same price as sprint even with the tablet. So far service is SUPERIOR to Sprint. 4G at my house was unheard of yesterday. Went from 1 bar to Full. Text's seem to come through faster, calls are clear. Loving it so far. :good:

It's funny I just discussed this same thing with my gf yesterday in regards to keeping this phone or not. I too have had a lot of android phones from the HTC eris, original Droid, to the incredible, and GS3. ..and this phone is by far superior to all. Battery is the best I've ever experienced. I've tries iPhone, Windows phone, other androids....I love this phone even with the minimal development right now.

I think it's best to wait till all the new phones come out n see. The new n old phone prices will drop once all the hypes r over. The g2 looks great. IPhone 5s, g2, mot x n maybe new pro g all look great.

G2 victories over G Pro:

- Interesting button setup
G Pro victories over G2:
- Bigger screen (+0.3" diagonal PLUS real estate gained by physical face buttons)
- microSD
- Awesome off-contract price, 50% lower contract price
- Removable battery
It's kind of an interesting contest. I really hate that you can't just have it all, but that's life. According to this list the G Pro is the clear winner for me, which is why a G Pro is making its way to me now from an eBay seller (I just had to save that extra $80 ).
If you care a lot about high-end gaming, the G2 is the definite way to go, no question. The battery life on the G2 is insane too, like mind-blowingly insane. If you're looking for a new kind of battery life experience people really haven't seen with a smartphone before (unless it was with a giant aftermarket battery), get the G2.
Otherwise, to me, the G Pro kind of takes the crown. I love huge screens (not Xperia Z Ultra huge, mind you lol) and on paper 5.2" sounds close enough, but those soft face buttons really steal a lot of real estate so it's not just 0.3" difference. The buttons pretty much only go away on video playback. I don't care about the graphics performance I lose by not going with the G2 since I'm only coming from a Galaxy Note N7000, but I really wish I could have the G2 battery life.

Cant really go wrong with this phone especially if you buy it out right I think it's the most bang for your buck. It's big it's fast it's very nicely designed we finally have some nice options for roms available plus it has removable battery and storage if you're into that sort of thing. Even on a stock rom the phone is solid rooted or not. I wish there were more accessories available like cases but I get by. I'm actually running my phone naked now and so far I haven't dropped it yet lol.
