I know this question is asked a lot...
But since the Google Galaxy Nexus came out... I wanted to have it and since I have it, I love it.
It's pure, it's solid, it's fast even though it is a shame that they told samsung to produce it
Is there any phone on the market, that is comparable to the Google Galaxy Nexus at its release?
BTW: I'm no OS-Nazi... if there are good reasons, I'd buy an Iphone or some Microsoft stuff^^

you think so?
why?
From what I hear it's pretty sick, but as you very well know the next "big thing" is right around the corner. I don't care what phone people choose, it will only stay on top for so long before being dethroned. For me, I'm going Nexus because I love pure android. No bloatware
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Yes I hate bloatware, too. But I don't look for a phone that is the best phone ever for the next 20 years. I look for a phone that has a large community, strong (my g-nexus fell out of my pocket multiple times on concrete floor... still runs like a charm) but it also feels great when you hold it in your hands... and the best thing is: I have this phone for two years now, never replaced the battery and it still runs a whole day with one charge.
Did they bring us with gorilla-glass 3 finally the thing they promised with their first revision?
Nexus 5 comes with gorilla glass. Not too much bigger than the gnex with a 5inch screen. I'll find out Saturday what it feels like in your hand when mine arrives lol

Oh, the Nexus 5 is bigger than the GNex. I got the Nexus5 for my wife the day it was announced and managed to get it Tuesday after it was released.
I say that it is too big for me, but that is what I said about the GNex and now I am completely used to it. The Nexus 5 is EXTREMELY responsive and quick. I would love one for myself!

I was excited for the Nexus 5, but when it came out I was underwhelmed. I got the Moto X and am very happy. Obviously the Nexus 5 has a faster processor and can be cheaper, but I honestly think the Moto X is very fast and the smaller size is a great. I got used to the Galaxy Nexus size, but a smaller phone is much nicer to use and .3" of screen size is not worth it to me. At least take a look at the Moto X, it's a nice phone.

I wholly agree with this. You will not notice it until you hold it in your hand but one-handed operation is harder on phones like the SGS3, and the Nexus 5 because it's simply a larger phone. I'm able to do so on the SGS3 but if I had to compare, it just feels better on the Moto X. I only wish I can have my own Moto X someday but the Gnex is still a good enough phone not to warrant the purchase. Everything feels better on the Moto X, I can't describe it. It's a natural upgrade to the Gnex. Also the audio amp is pretty good too so you can blast the music pretty loud while exercising.
I looked around a bit, and I find the moto droid maxx very interesting. Two days of battery-life along with a strong soc and 2GB of ram sounds amazing and it also looks very nice.
What I find really sad is the fact that I live in germany, so the moto x and the droid maxx are not available to me
Same thing for me,i'm italian

It depends on what carrier you're willing to go with. If you're under contract with, say Verizon, the nexus 5 is out of the question. If so, are you willing to change carriers to get a different phone? Or do you get unlocked phones?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
my contract is expiring in august 2014, but i still think i'll be going with Nexus 5. Samsung Gnex served me well for two years.
I was eyeballing the G2, guy I work with got the Nexus 5 for his wife and took her Nexus 4. He said the 5 is amazing, why he took the 4???
I just picked up the galaxy 8" note tablet and just hot spot my gnex to it. Seems like a perfect set up for me now. The note does everything and if I don't want to carry it along, the gnex still does what I need then.

I've heard a lot of great responses to the ICS update on the Nexus S. People say its great so I believe you.
I did the opposite. I just bought a refurbished Nexus S for $215. I never owned a Samsung Android before so I thought this would be a good opportunity for me to try one out before jumping to the Galaxy Nexus. Do you guys think I made the right decision? Does the Nexus S still worth $200+?
Previous androids I've owned are all Motorola's or HTC.
It took me a few days to get used to the size, still like the NS form factor. Won't give up the screen resolution though, it is night and day. One odd thing though is the camera from lock screen on the NS is significantly faster. I would put that on it being on 4.0.3, not on the hardware.

Nexus S is a great phone.
If you're looking at upgrading to a GNex, get the unlocked GSM version and you'll be much happier.
Honestly, I'd just keep the Nexus S and upgrade it to ICS if it were me. The GNex is great, I love it, but that's because I came from a phone that wasnt so simple to update (Vibrant). My gf has a Nexus S that I upgraded for her to ICS and it works great. Certainly well enough (imo) that if I had also had a Nexus S, that I wouldnt have spent money on the Gnex.

I think the NS with ICS is less laggy than the GN...
I went from a Nexus S to GNex. ICS on NS is in some ways better than ICS on GNex. But I still prefer the Gnex. Better screen, better GPS, fast 4G. Notification LED. Plus its newer and not many people have it lol.
Nexus S does have the perfect screen size though. Hopefully the next Nexus will go back to a 4" screen with 720p resolution.. that would be killer.
It all depends on your budget. If I was in the same boat as you, I would wait until Google IO (I think its in June) and see what they have to offer. Or at least until MWC when it is rumoured that Samsung will be unveiling the Samsung Galaxy S3
Honestly, ive owned every Nexus phone on day one and i dont think i could buy any other device. Something about owning a Nexus that guarentees support from both Google and the community that i just couldnt sacrifice. Id honestly say the Galaxy Nexus is the ultimate device for me but the Nexus S would be my second choice to this day. You cant go wrong with a Nexus is what im getting at, haha.

I'm loving the Nexus S so far. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, is it worth keeping the Nexus S which I paid $215 for when I plan on getting the GNex as well? I'll be buying the GNex from my carrier which is the GSM version. Money is not an issue. I was just wondering if the Nexus S is still worth keeping. I can still return it. Just thought I ask before the 14 days come up.
I was worried that going from a NS to a GNex would be too big of a step in screen size, the GNex is way bigger than the NS... but it's so thin and light, it's really fantastic. Performance is great, and now when I look at my NS and see actual pixels on the screen .. I'm glad I bought a GNex.
I kind of did went a round about way. I had a nexus s and loved it but it had an unfortunate accident so picked up an iPhone 4s. That was a mistake so bought a GNex and love it. I think it feels like a true update to the nexus s. I also think that I am going to stay with Samsung for my android devices I have tried others but the Samsung ones have been really good to me so far.

Funny cause I just got an S3 for my wife about an hour ago. I haven't really played with it that much beside installing some of her apps. Me personally, I wouldn't be able to switch. There are some really neat features and the 2 gigs of ram is very nice but for me the nexus with jelly bean is still the better device.

Completely agree with this. Ive had an iPhone 4 for a year and before that an HTC Evo 4G. I grew tired of the iPhone so I decided to take a chance with this Nexus. I've got to honestly say as long as this device stays in working condition for the next few yrs, I won't buy another phone until they stop sending OTA updates to this phone. Which might not be for a loong time considering I bought this straight from Google.
Sent from the Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
totally worth it. do it.
Why you downgrade to an SGS 3?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Overall the S3 is underwhelming. AOKP running on both devices, the Nexus perform just the same. The S3 is faster in some tasks like installing apps and gaming, but for the most part its not a noticeable difference. And the Nexus have more up to date software and roms. I like the feel of the Nexus more, the S3 feel very flimsy.
I'm in a dilemma about which device I should sell, I can store more stuff with the S3 and take nicer photos, but for almost anything else I prefer the Nexus.
I do know for a fact that the T-Mobile of version of S3 will probably get Jelly Bean as its last official update, while the Nexus will get plenty more updates from Google in the future.
Also S3 factory firmware is unusable for me, very bloated and slow, I guess once you're spoiled by stock Android everything else feel slow.
Yes, then sell the gs3, buy a new nexus, and pocket the difference.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Yes! Sell it for $450-500, then buy the Play Store GNex for $350. Pocket the difference

Pocketing the difference feels great.
traded my iPhone 4 32GB + $100 for a 4S back in January off craigslist. The dude couldn't wait for jailbreak any longer and valued a bit more cash.
Flipped my iPhone 4S (that I got an AT&T sanctioned unlock for as soon as they started doing that) three days after playing with my GNex for $550.
Pocketed $170. Almost enough to cover iPhone "5" since I'm eligible for an upgrade. Might do that and flip it for Nexus 2 when the time comes.
Either way, in a great spot and happier than I could imagine with my Jelly device

UNI as in University of Northern Iowa?
I love my Nexus, you won't be disappointed if you get one. I owned an iPhone for a year and half and will never go back. I prefer the open garden approach and Android is leaps and bounds ahead of iOS IMO. You will still have issues with battery life but that is pretty much going to be the case with any smart phone with such a big screen and LTE.
Nooo I'm going to a university in England so ill have no use for 4G and stuff the main thing I like about the iPhone is the retina display its so clear that and the fact it's really fast, also I won't be buying it on contract ill probably pay about £300 and get one of them on pay as you go.

I'm about to upgrade from my Droid 2 Global also, and is thinking about the galaxy nexus or the new droid razr m, from the reviews on the razr m battery life seems pretty good, you might want to consider that.
The defferences I see between the galaxy nexus and the razr
Nexus 4.65 inch screen Razr M 4.3M
Nexus Processor 1.2 MHZ Razr 1.5 MHZ
Nexus no expandable memory option Razr M has a micro sd slot takes up to 32 G
They both have NFC
Nexus camera is 5 mega pixel Razr M 8 , but review says both have mediocre picture taken.
Nexus verizion i think have jelly bean now (not sure) Razr M Motorola promises jelly bean before the end of the year.
Compare them they are both $99 bucks on Verizon website.
$99 for a galaxy nexus ? I refuse to believe this.
Nvm you have to buy a contract that's a rip off.

I know BestBuy was selling the Verizon Nexus for free with new/renewed contract for a while there. Looking at their website now though, it looks like it is back to $99. If you could get the Nexus for free, I think that would be the way to go vs the Razr M.
I wouldn't have a clue about American deals or providers as I live in the UK, although I have been contemplating upgrading my nexus s to the galaxy nexus however it's put me off as I've heard a lot of reports of it being laggy and the camera is crappy so you don't really want to be paying £300+ for a phone with sub par features. And the only thing putting me off about the iPhone 4 is the glass back, you drop that ****er once and its gone and I've dropped my nexus s so many times it's unbelievable but it's sponged it so I don't know what to do really..

I found the retina display underwhelming until I finally saw a 3gs and realized how big of a jump it was for iPhone users. Most of the higher end android phones were already using high density displays so the advantage was minimalized.
As for the Nexus, its plenty fast (especially with JB) and the screen is quite high def as well (people talk about the screen tech but I cant see it, pixel density is too high).
And the features are night and day. Apple gives you a basic platform and lets you buy into advanced features. Android, from the beginning really packed those features in. Voice actions, maps and navigation, notification system have all been there for years and are quite mature.

Definitely get the Galaxy Nexus per all of the above comments, not to mention the huge developer community backing it. If in 3 months you don't like something about the phone, change it. The battery life isn't that bad considering what all you do with the phone anyway. I can go all day with a mid day battery boost of about 20% and JB is pretty snappy as well.

They could be coming out soon with a new wave of nexus devices. I might go for the Sony xperia nexus if/when it comes out. Tho, it probably won't be cheap. And my parents offered to put me on their family plan with verizon since they booted my ex-brother-in-law. So who knows. Good luck, man!
Galaxy nexus FTW!!!!

Compare the Operating Systems. Nowadays I think it's not mainly a hardware question, but price and software. Look at both of them and decide which work flow / features cater more to your need. Personally, I would go for the Galaxy Nexus with Android. My workflow with android is much more fluid than with iOS.
And if you aren't frightened of flashing your phone to get new features, more power etc, then Android is a natural choice.
PS: And on another note, I wouldn't support a company behaving like Apple right now.

Honestly not bad at all, but except CPU changes and induction charging, what are the better points compared to the GNEX ?
Unless a Verizon version launches later (like always seems to happen with Sprint Nexus devices), I'll be hanging onto my LTE Gnex until the next Nexus comes out late next year. I like my LTE, I like 32 GB of storage, and let's face it, Verizon has the best network in the country. That's pretty much indisputable.
Eh. I'm sorry, but after getting 4G LTE on my nexus I will not buy another phone without it. I'll get 4.2 on my current nexus and that will hold me over until a better device comes out. I really kinda hate LG. . .
The new device looks awesome. I think I'm jealous of the camera and new version of Android. Oh yeah. And that quad core S4. Lol. We still have a cool phone. We will have 4.2 soon enough.

Other than the big brother spec bump, bringing nexus hardware back to relevancy, Lifespan, is probably the main, albeit undersold, reward in buying the new nexus. Will the gnex still be adequate by the time nexus 5 rolls around? Maybe. But whatever the life of this phone, the 4 will far exceed it. And longevity is one of the key reasons Joe phone user purchases the nexus.

Amen to that.
Right now I'm going stir crazy without a 10" tablet! I sold my old Nexus S and my LTE Motorola Xoom so I could have the cash to buy a Nexus 10. Since they aren't available until November 13, I'm going to go crazy without it! That Nexus 7 is great for reading in bed, but for doing anything productive, I needs me a 10" tablet. My laptop is going to get more use the next two weeks than it has in 2 months!
There's no comparison. Not even close. N4 is the best spec'd phone available on almost every component and costs the same as the Galaxy Nexus. If you bought a GN in the last 29 days, return it immediately. With all that said, the Galaxy Nexus is still an excellent phone.

That is basically always the point. Also, considering the nexus s still gets updates I doubt we will stop getting them for a while. Also, the galaxy nexus can play whatever games I want it to, and it has the same GPU as the nexus s ( I am talking nova 3 , NBA 2k13( which stutters a little bit), and dead trigger on high).

I'll wait until I see the screen to decide that. After two Samsung Nexus in a row I'm ready for someone else and even a different screen tech.
The camera will be the main selling point for me. Absolutely love my GNex, but I find it funny whenever I see apologists try to act as if the camera isn't sub par.
Wireless charging, even though I like it, is only a gimmick (much like the curved screen of the GNex to be fair).
I have no plans on upgrading; that being said I also don't have insurance on my phone. If I had to replace it, I'd definitely spring for the N4 if I was going brand new instead of eBay/ CL.

Really? I was pretty sure it was the same exact GPU but clocked slower

I'd almost rather have a Galaxy Nexus for the Super AMOLED screen alone. Given the choice between LED or IPS, I'm taking LED any day of the week.

My galaxy nexuses dismay hurts my eyes a little bit after a while of use. Although the nexus 7s screen is definitely washed out, it looks much sharper to me

who are going to update to nexus 5 and why??
I have ordered one though :angel:
I'm going to get a Nexus 5 because the 1GB RAM isn't enough for what I'm doing with my phone. With multiple Tasker things, PIE control, Halo, Chrome, lots of constant music listening, Nova Launcher themeing, things keep getting killed, lagging my phone, and at times even rebooting. 4.3 helped, but the hardware limitation is still there. That, and my display is wearing out. I can see lines in many places. I won't dump my Galaxy Nexus, though. It'll become a test device to test the apps I'm developing.
Now all I'm waiting for is someone to let me buy one... Come on either Google, Amazon, or Best Buy!
i have bought nexus 5 because i was waiting for it for a couple of month and and my galaxy nexus is no where good in taking normal daily pictures so OIS + nexus that made me to fall in love with nexus 5
I'm buying because I chose last October to not to buy any phones until the next nexus generation phone came out. So I've been waiting too darn long for this phone to drop. But Google decided to be a pest this year with all the ****ery they decided to do to promote this phone. It's like having blue balls and although there's a chick laying there naked knowing you want it but just won't let you have it yet instead she flaunts the p***y in your face to show you how good you can expect it to be. :'( Google stop teasing just let me get in it already lol.

I've been planning on leaving Verizon for the next nexus. Honestly though, I'm not terribly impressed with the Nexus 5, so I may go Moto X. Whichever has a better camera and battery life.

yeah every time I got a p***y in my face, I gagged. But yes I got my N5 on order! 4.2 was what convinced me that I need to upgrade my 9250 to a faster Nexus.
Not sure if my next phone will be a nexus or.. and Android :|

Because my gnex is getting old
I would get it only if I read that the battery of nexus 5 last for one day with heavy use.

I've been holding off on the phone purchase but now is the time. Black Nexus 5, 32G on it's way. I couldn't beat the off-contract price.
I'm done with VZN, probably going with $30 T-mobile monthly prepaid.
You realize the nexus 5 is just an inferior cheaper knock off of the lg g2 with a crappy camera an battery.

I got slimkat 4.4 on my gnex does that mean my gnex is better than the g2, the g2 has 13mp camera compared yo nexus 5 that has 8mp, the battery is 3000mah on g2 an 2300mah on n5 plus g2 has a slightly bigger screen.Throw a kitkat rom on g2 an you got a better phone than n5 if your theory is correct.
