When it will happen you'll know.
If you want rumors than their May be 3 nexus from Sony, Samsung and LG. Go figure.
Why? Omap5 would be so much better.

the question is, there is really an upcoming NEW nexus?
usually a nexus come to show a new version of android..JB already make is debut with the nexus 7
i don't think there will be an other android version this year..so probably no new nexus, but just a galaxy nexus plus (latest rumors) same as the actual but with a 8mpx camera and a 1.5ghz cpu (omap 4460/70)
It'd be boring if we didn't get a new one but if we do I don't think it'll be anything A9 based. I'd hope for Omap5 or Snapdragon S4Pro quad.
I think there will only be a next Nexus when there's a new version of Android.... We already had JB with the Nexus 7...
I think we won't have anything new towards the end of this year....
Maybe the (rumor) improved Galaxy Nexus+ ? With 4470?
For a NEW Nexus phone, it will probably use a quad-core processor...
Hope for an OMAP5.

I'm really hoping for a exynos 5 ... but that is real hope ... lol ..
I'd be happy with omap 5
I'd be very dissapointed with a dual core a9 !

Nexus doesn't usually use top of the line tech, wouldn't be surprised if this was the Nexus, a slight jump but nothing major. Will probably only see a 8MP camera, and 1 GB of RAM as well.

You guys are insane for thinking they're going to use top of the line hardware. The Nexus line is a demonstration of fluidity in minimal hardware conditions.
At best, 1.5 gb of RAM, and some incremental processor upgrade.
I wouldn't be surprised if they used Tegra 3 (as in Nexus 7) to streamline things.

I'm fine with the idea of the omap4470, the sgx544 is actually a decent amount more powerful than the 540 coming close to the tegra 3.

Who ever said the Nexus can't have top of the line hardware? Obviously not HTC since the Nexus One was one of the best phones that year. Google never said the Nexus line is to be midrange.

Hi everyone, I'd like to see what do you think.. I won a LG 4X HD this christmas and at first I got very happy but after.. I saw that it has a locked bootloader and there aren´t custom roms for it. I got an proposal for it, an white Gnex + $150 but I don´t know it it worths, because the processor, camera and screen seems to be be better on the 4x.. but the a nexus is a nexus.. . So, what is your opinion? (Here in Brazil, a Galaxy Nexus costs like $790 and a 4X HD $900)

I agree that the LG 4X HD is a beast in specs compared to the Galaxy Nexus. It has a Tegra 3 processor which is clocked at 1.5GHz which is a quad core (however it might not matter at all since the Galaxy Nexus is awesome with Jelly Bean), a much larger battery and even a microSD card slot if you put a lot of media onto your device.
Is the LG 4X HD you won in new condition? Also is the white Galaxy Nexus in good condition?
Also have you previously owned a Nexus device before?
I would personally go with the Galaxy Nexus (if its in good condition) and cash because I am a flash addict and if you are too.. then you know what to do.
I have gnex and its awesome I am due an upgrade but would rather keep the gnex
There is so many ROMs/kernels for the gnex and very soon Ubuntu phone will be available. I don't know anything about the lg 4x but with a locked boot loader and no custom ROMs etc I personally would take the gnex.
This is only my opinion so I would wait for others to comment who may know more about the 4x.
Hope this little input can help you make up your mind

My 4X HD is new and the Gnex too, i've never owned a Nexus device before but I have custom roms at all my androids, CM10 my Defy, CM10.1 on Transformer Prime, CM10 on XOOM (almost a Nexus) and CM9 on my Galaxy Ace.
I'd stick with the Nexus too. Even versus better hardware, you can't beat the development. Software > Hardware IMO...
I'd probably buy another GNex if anything happened to this one.

100% get the Galaxy Nexus and cash or if you can, sell the 4X HD for a lot more since you do seem to have a lot of "up to date" devices due to the custom roms
Since the device is new, you'll love it and you won't notice the performance difference if you used the 4X HD compared to the Galaxy Nexus.
And of course, you are in the Nexus forums so it'll be biased

The only thing that I am afraid is that the Gnex just have 16GB, the 4X has 16GB + a 64GB sd card but thats why I will still use my iPod Touch

I own the previous LG tegra flagship (2X) and I can tell you to get the gnex as I did a month ago. LG's tactic is to seduce you with hardware specs and shaft you with software updates(1 year wait on average). They hope you will move to their new device for new software...

This is why I will be sticking with nexus line from here on out. Waiting for the carrier to decide when and what to update is not something I'm interested in. I bought a mytouch 4g as my first smartphone because I didn't even know much about android yet, I won't be doing that again unless nexus line is discontinued or changes course in a bad direction.

GNex since it has the best/most ROMs at the moment.
Hello Gnex owners!
I've been using my Nexus S for some time now and I believe it's time for upgrade. I was thinking Gnex because it is cheap but I need your opinion. If there are any previous Nexus S users here, you do know that after Jelly Bean arrived, NS became too laggy to support it and it was terrible. People reverted to ICS.
So,
1. How fast is your phone today on 4.2.2, how often does it lag, crash and so on...
2. How fast is it compared to Nexus 4 and Galaxy S3?
Selling my Nexus S and adding not a lot of money does get me Galaxy Nexus, so I'm pretty excited. Or get Galaxy S2/Note 1? Thank you!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
1.Phone is as fast as i need it to be. It lags occasionally if i play a game like gta iii, but I'm not a big gamer.. Doesn't ever seem to crash, unless i'm experimenting.
2.As far as side-by-side comparisons, The nexus 4 is only about 4 months old; the galaxy siii is about 11 or twelve months old, and the gnex is about 16 months old; Things change quickly in the phone world. So you have to keep in mind the time frames.
If you're seriously considering a galaxy sii, I'd go for the galaxy nexus. Why haven't you mentioned something like the htc one x, etc.?
All in all, I think I'll be quite happy with this phone for another year or so.
No lags on a daily normal usage for me. Even when there is lag while running a lot of apps it‘s nothing that‘ll make you crazy.
None of the games like NFSMW or GTA III lag or slowdown noticably.
If I were you, coming from the Nexus S I‘d have upgraded to the Nexus 4 than the GSIII or even the Galaxy Nexus.
for the right price def do it!
I made the switch from Nexus S to Galaxy Nexus because of the JB lag you mentioned, and I couldn't be happier. I never even considered getting a Nexus 4 because my phone works so well.

Former ns4g user here. I was in the exact same situation as you and made the leap back in December. Speed and smoothness are fine for me (don't play games). I think for the money/android experience, there's no better way to play it than to annually upgrade to 1-gen old nexus devices. I'm generally happy, but must say that I thought the ns was the ideal form factor. I even went back to my ns4g on a slimmed down Rom for a while before finally deciding to sell it. I just use web,email, maps, and a few apps, so the larger screen didn't add much to my user experience. Whatever though, I digress ... if you get the gnex, you'll be happy with 4.2.2

I'll be honest and say that i do miss my Nexus solely for development purposes. You'll always be ahead in the game with the Nexus. I have a S3 now and the only complaints I have are development community, I wish it was bigger. There is a ton of pros and cons though so you have to go with what suits your needs not everyone else's. My main reasons for getting rid of it were camera and no external SD card but I should have kept it around to mess with. All around it was an awesome phone though and if for some reason my S3 broke and that's the only phone I could go for I would be just fine with it.

I like the phone so much I just bought an used one for the wife.
personally my opinion is that if you plan to keep the phone for about 2 years or so, spend extra 100 and get a Nexus 4. The reason is that while the Galaxy Nexus is fast enough, with new software update, it can bring it down a little bit. I have used Galaxy Nexus and feel it is a bit slower than the newer Snapdragon S4 based phones due to the CPU. In addition, the Nexus 1GB RAM is fine now but with next round of OS update, it may not be.
It is no doubt that Nexus 4 should support the upcoming Key Lime Pie (or whatever is called) and probably so would the Galaxy Nexus. While Galaxy Nexus will run KLP fine, I think you may possibly ended up feeling that it is a bit too slow once the software hits while the Nexus 4 won't. In addition, with N4, you would also be able to keep it a bit longer and enjoy the future software updates.
if you're on verizon, gnex is a good bet to switch. i was in verizon yesterday and none of the phones they have interested me. if you're looking for a gsm phone, nexus 4. i'm on verizon so nexus 4 is not in my future, but i'm very happy with my gnex being over a year old already.

Verizon has nexus 4
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I got my phone around November 2012 for free with Verizon. Though a year old I have to say that it is still blazing fast. If your looking for a great looking phone, this is it. There is a bunch of phones that are much faster than the Galaxy Nexus but don't let this deter you. It runs 4.2.2 super smooth under clocked. I'm sure it will run the next update just as fast. The nexus 4 is a great phone but depending on what you do, the extra speed is a little overkill.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Nope, I'm in Europe, so I'm one of those who have to buy unlocked phones, no contracts or anything. Personally, my Nexus S is pretty fast, but after using my sister's S3 for a while the screen became to small, the phone itself became too small. I gave it a thought and I don't think speed will bother me that much on it. I won't play any games except Temple Run or something like that, I use Nexus 7 for high quality games like Real Racing or Deadzone.
I can sell Nexus S for 150€ and get new Galaxy Nexus for 260€. Nexus 4 is only sold by retailers here, and you can imagine how big the price is. At least 400-450€, Note 2 and S3 are cheaper! Evil retailers. Second hand Galaxy Nexus is no more than 220€.
So yes, thank you all for replying!

Hey guys,
I've been thinking about the 8 inch version of this tablet for about a month. Bought one in Australia for my Mum and she loves the pants off it (her first tablet).
There's a special on at the moment in NL which brings it down to 200 euros which is a fairly decent price, but I also have the option of picking up a 2012 Nexus 7 new for 170. I've read some really terrible things about the 2013 nexus 7 and a fair few complaints about build quality on the 2012 version. I'm a student and if I buy something, it needs to genuinely last for a good two years (preferably more) to be worth the cost. Have you guys been happy with the quality of your devices?
I have noticed that there isn't much development for this device. Is this just because root has only recently been found? Or is there not much interest because of the Nexus family? I've always focused on development in buying devices and it's helped me squeeze four years out of my HTC Desire bravo and three years out of a friend's Galaxy S i9000.
So essentially what I'm asking is, does it seem like development might pick up in the future, and if not, is the quality of the device high enough that it would be worth trading off development potential? Sorry to ask such a general question, but I'm tearing my hair out trying to make a decision while the nexus 7 2012 is still in stock.
Thanks in advance!

I had the Nexus 7 2012 and currently have the GTab 3 8.0. I had no problems whatsoever with the Nexus. It was a good tablet. I just found the screen dark and cramped. I love the GTab 3 8.0. So it's not "retina". Big deal. The screen is crisp and bright and looks great to me. The tablet runs smooth and fast.
Honestly between those two models it's between screen size and whether having an SD slot is important to you. They are both great tablets.
Would you change your tab 3 8.0 for a LG pad?

G pad. It's the perfect size and it's really snappy. I returned my nexus 10 after a week because it was slow and to big. This was like a year ago. so the nexus 10 could be better now with updates but the g pad is about perfect.

I had nothing but problems with the Nexus 10. Granted, that was on 4.3. The GPU was the biggest handicap in the N10 coupled with the insanely high resolution. A lot of text heavy apps had really laggy scrolling and some games lagged.

But honestly it just comes down to size. The Nexus 10 is blazing fast for everything but gaming(not terrible at gaming either). I just like the LG G Pad form factor better.
