[Q] What do you think I should do?

Hey everybody,
I'm currently an Xperia Play owner planning to upgrade on a 350 euro budget (about $450) to either a Samsung Galaxy Nexus or a Samsung Galaxy Note. Which do you recommended I buy? I think the Gnex is by far the most beautiful device I've ever seen but I do plan to play a lot of graphically intense games, for example Modern Combat 4, both GTAs and the new upcoming Real Racing 3. I've heard that the PowerVR SGX540 in the Gnex struggles to play intense games because of the HD screen, is this true? This is the reason I've opted for the Gnote because of it's Mali 400mp which I would then clock at 400mhz to give me close to GS3 gaming performance.
If you have any reasons I should go with one of these devices please comment below and also if you any other recommendations on which phone I should get barring these two I'd be happy to take them into consideration.
What I want from my new phone:
- 4.5" HD 1280x720 or more display
- At least a dual core
- Great gaming performance
- Running on at least ICS (or planned upgrade to JB like the Gnote)
- 1080p recording
- At least 1GB RAM
- Front facing camera
- Decent battery performance (doesn't have to be amazing just able to get me through 10hrs at least)
Thanks in advance,
Christopher.

If you're going for gaming, take the note. If you want everything else, gnex.

Why get the Galaxy Nexus when you can get the Nexus 4 instead?

I see your point, but the Nexus 4 only has 8GB of internal memory and no SD also I cannot get the Nexus 4 shipped to Ireland for under 350 euro. Can you suggest any website I could find it for under 350?

No the removable battery doesn't bother me at all.

Know what? I agree with eddyos. Save up some more and go for the nexus 4 with 16gb, by all means! You'll get the best of both worlds. I meant current android updates, dev community, wide knowledge base by everything else. Gaming is ok on the gnex, i dont do much other than gtaIII, but it does have the occassional lag.

AW: [Q] What do you think I should do?
I love my gnex, but i wouldnt buy one if i had the chance to get an nexus 4 instead.

IMHO the nexus 4 is a stepping stone; the alpha so to speak. I wouldn't get it.
If you can wait, then wait a little and see, great things are supposed to happen this year in terms of new and awesome phones.

I see where you all are coming from, but my Xperia Play has a problem where the screen goes fuzzy for about 30 minutes so I would much rather get something now than wait another 3-4 months. Also I'm already breaking the bank at 300 euro, I put 350 up to see what else I could get because I could borrow 50 euro from my parents (I'm only 16)

Gnex is to old, maybe android 5 is the last update we get official from google.

8 or 16GB, your choice!
Can you not use the Play Store in Ireland?
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb
According to Handtec they're getting the Galaxy Nexus back in soon, quite cheap too...might be worth checking out

It's not even 8GB, the formatted memory will be about 6.5GB which would not be enough as most of the high end games I want to play take up on average 1.5GB each, plus I like to keep a nice library of Skrillex in my pocket And I fancy myself a bit of an amateur photographer.
If I was to buy the Nexus 4 16GB it's gonna cost me close to 500 euro so my question is if I buy it in three months will it still be on top of its game?
And no, Ireland is not supported in the Google Play Store pitty :/

Yea I heard the display is super crisp but I would really love 1280x720 display as when I'm watching a YouTube video it takes up every last pixel. I think its so cool when its a full screen video. as far as I know the nexus 4 has a 1280x768 which is only a tad bit over but it means it has a 16:10 aspect ratio which means black bars on YouTube videos! :/

It sounds to me one of the BLU Quattros might be up your alley. They are releasing 3 new phones gnex size to note size, pentaband tegra 3 quad core unlocked. The most expensive one being $350 u.s. I'm actually considering one myself because my girlfriend needs a new phone.

ok and now a real answer without a joke
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Nexus mit Tapatalk 4

No. This has been much of an issue of debate even for the old Nexus. Why do you exactly need to call on the Nexus 7.........??? Man that would look really stupid, holding a door (yeah that's what I think my Nexus is, huge ) to your ear.
The radio doesn't support such acts, so it won't be.

ok. it can be a nice feature.

PayPal not compatible?

Has anyone else ran into this? I went to download PayPal on my Nexus 7 32GB (2013) and it's saying PayPal is not compatible. What is the deal?
Sent from my Q10 using Tapatalk

Yep. Got the same issue here on my 2013 Nexus 7...

I wonder why this is? Other devices running 4.4.2 are still able to get it.

i am also getting this message for a recently purchased nexus 7 fhd.

Same here.. On my old nexus 7 runs perfectly... It's a little bit weird..

Cool. Working for me on my Nexus 7 fhd (2013) how did u managed to find the apk file?

I downloaded with my HTC One M8 and copy the apk file from */data/app with my root Explorer.

I've just received the information from Amazon that the device will be shipped between 01. 09 and 03.09.
Well, hope I still want it that much then
Gesendet von meinem HTC U11 life mit Tapatalk

Nope. Still waiting. Pre-ordered 3 weeks ago from O2. They moved the shipping date from 23rd to 31st of August. They'll probably move it again tomorrow

Yeah think so too.
Would be cool to get it on Saturday

Just got the confirmation its send and should arrive by tomorrow.
Yay, can't wait

Pogo dock reached me yesterday.
I had make a pre order at 6.8.

Got mine in my Hands now. Like it but needs proper testing for a fair judgement.
A bit heavier then I thought

The vodafone shop i preordered in told me they gotta get the device either tomorrow or they will inform me if not.. so annoyed actually.

I know what you mean.
Don't get angry before receiving the device. Save that for the time you've done your test. Hehe
I'm not yet sure if I keep my device. I've expected more from a 700+ € Device.
Gesendet von meinem Galaxy Tab S4 mit Tapatalk

Got it ! Love it (though Signor Rossi is quite right) ! Now I need root ! ;P

Congratulations, don't get me wrong, the device is awesome, if it didn't had the scrolling issue, it would never think about returning it.
Will check MediaMarkt / Saturn for scrolling on other devices.

Thanks Mine works like a charm. No issues at all. Scrolling is smooth in all my apps and the device is kinda full already Sound is a bit less than I expected but I think I can live with that. After all its not a high end 10K € sound system
My only issue right now is that I ordered a damaged SD and have to wait for the replacement

Lol no actually I ordered a working SD :laugh:
And I really don't have any lags in scrolling. Nowhere. Not inside apps not the screen, nowhere. Don't use the launcher that came with it though.

I just went to Saturn and tested a few devices including a Galaxy Tab A, guess it was the old version.
I wasnt able to reproduce it on any device. Then I got my hands on the Galaxy Tab S4 and it took me less the a second to spot it.
I've just made a video of it. Don't watch it if you are not interested in returning your device!
https://mega.nz/#!CSoV1ATC!cs_SV7ncivAd5NY0P384ZVW0m88y2S26GEq2plM5UYA
I also realized it's visible in the app Launcher too. In the video it's not as bad as in reality I must add.
When watching the video, check the left side of the screen when scrolling.

Edit: I Will return my Tab later today
Edit: I've just watched the video on my PC and can't see the issue at all... funny So If you don't see it, your dive is ok

Can't see a problem is landscape and your scrolling in a way you would never scroll
