I'm getting the HTC one x for my upgrade .. the specs for it is amazing . Beast audio,tegra 3 , quad core CPU, Wat more can u ask for ?
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
My main qualms are it's a little big (this can be gotten used to), not removable sd card or battery, and not on VZW.
I could ask for plenty of things:
a battery that will last through a day
it can run Crysis
dual-boot Windows 8
1080p display
integrated subwoofer for actual bass from phone speaker
but mostly I ask for a removable SDcard, or at least a slot for another like on the Inc. Seriously, HTC? My 40GB right now isn't sufficient, I'd really love 32GB internal + SD slot. 64GB internal + SD slot would be even better though

You importing that One X? the One series isn't Tegra 3 in America. It's a dual core Snapdragon 4 chip which is equally as nice. Neither AT&T or Verizon will carry high end non-lte phones.

Actually according to benchmarks the S4 chip runs circles around the Tegra 3 in all except gaming graphics where the two are mostly equal with T3 having the slight edge.

Not really too impressed with any thing on vzw right now so i am holding out on upgrading. I do like the one series but not willing to switch carriers.
Just waiting for something new to show on vzw. Nothing exciting out there now. Starting to get impatient. Thinking SIII is it ever hits market!!!!

Haha, cool. I think Joel will have a Sense 4 rom up in about 2 weeks, because Newtoroot fixed data for it, spent about 2 months writing code for it to work on this phone, and so he's asking devs to wait at least two weeks before using his as a base. Pretty impressive work from him though really. And dmeadows has been trying to get data working on cm9/aosp for us, lots of progress, but still not yet complete, shouldn't be too long though, I'm sure

As much as I'd like a One X, or the new Evo (One X plus microSD minus design), I'm sticking with Verizon until they take away my unlimited data.
Because of this, I'm waiting for the Incredible 4G.
The specs should be similar to the One S, and it's supposed to come out April 26th, which would be perfect for all of us Incredible owners who got it at launch with a new 2year contract. I'll be eligible for my 2 year upgrade right when this new one comes out.
As long as the specs hold up, I'll take it.

If? It's definitely coming out. It's just the exact date and specs that are still rumors at this point.
Right now April 26th is the rumored release date, and that looks pretty credible (and right in line with the original Incredible and Incredible 2 releases)
In terms of specs...
It's supposed to have the dual-core snapdragon S4 (drool), clocked at 1.2 (it's not 1.5 but I'll take it. This processor is a beast)
1GB RAM
Sense 4 is a given
It's supposed to have an 8MP camera in the back (VGA FFC) and if it's anything like it's One X and S brothers, quality should be excellent. Pictures only show a single LED flash, which is a bummer, but not that big of a deal.
4.3" display is the best guess right now, although some people are thinking they may stick with 4" like the Inc 2. Either way, it's not expected to be 720p (qHD is the latest rumor). Personally, I'm hoping for 4.3" but that's probably not a deal breaker either. I've done ok with my OG Inc for 2 years and even 4" would be an improvement.
Display technology is probably going to be the biggest bummer. It's not going to have that GORGEOUS Super LCD 2 display that the One X and Evo 4G LTE have. It will probably be your standard AMOLED (maybe super). I don't mind that much though. I'm not one of those people who feel so pationately about display quality that they can write pages and pages on contrast and color accuracy and blah blah blah...
Pictures show all 4 of the old capacitive buttons, which is a little strange. Perhaps it's an earlier prototype and they've changed it? Personally, I'd be fine. I know menu is being phased out, but a lot of apps still use it so I wouldn't mind having a menu button for 2 more years. For multitasking, I've always found long-press on home to be more than sufficient... I felt that the dedicated button was extraneous. And as for search... removing that button was a big mistake in my opinion. Yes, there's the search bar at the top of the desktops (actually, that's not even the case in Sense 4), but without the search button you don't have access to voice actions from anywhere in the OS, which SUCKSSS.

ANOTHER EDIT: Some things that we don't have any rumors on, and some things that a lot of people are probably interested in are:
Removable Battery?
microSD slot?
NFC?
Personally, I dont really care much about NFC. Sure, it'd be great, but there's not a lot of stuff to take advantage of it yet. As for microSD, it's certainly preferred, but not a deal-breaker for me. I stream a lot of my content since I have unlimited data, but I do download a lot of podcasts, many of which are video, so the space would be good. Even though it's not that big of an issue for me, I can see how some people may have a serious issue with lack of a microSD slot. The removable battery is my biggest priority of those three things I listed. Although I'll probably get the phone either way, I will be SOOOO disappointed if it's not a removable battery. But then again, battery life should be pretty great given the S4, so maybe it won't bother me as much.

haha. I figured everyone in here would already know about the Incredible 4G. I've been following it very closely since the pics were released. I even set up a google alert on it a couple weeks ago so I wouldn't miss anything
I think it's going to be really popular because
(a) Like the OG Incredible, when it gets released it will be the best phone (by far) available on Verizon at that time (the same can't be said for the Incredible 2)
and
(b) It's being released pretty much exactly 2 years after the OG Incredible, so people like me who are up for their 2 year upgrade will flock to it.
(I'm also hoping that, especially because of "b" above, that there will be a good dev community behind it)

I'm sure there are threads out there on this already, so I will make it short.
With the problems that the inspire has (bad internal antenna, sound quality, and so forth) is it worth switching to the Atrix, or should I head towards a different device? AT&T is pushing me for an early upgrade as I've exchanged 4 of the inspires for different reasons, and I'm not about to buy a phone that has a ton of issues.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
And, to add to it, I'm looking at the new Samsung Infuse, and the Captivate as a potential replacement. No reason to go back to a "regular" phone...

I would go with atrix. I would stay away from phones that utilize amoled screens because of their inability to display whites correctly, huge power consumption when displaying any color other than black, burn in issues and color oversaturation.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
If you're happy to unlock BL and flash custom ROM then hell yes go for it. The hardware is excellent for the price and considerably futureproof (dual core 1Gb RAM = enough grunt for foreseeable future). It also has my ideal form factor (4").
However in its stock state I would recommend pretty much any other dual core phone aside from the LG2X. You'd be surprised how few people realise its dual core based on their impressions of the speed of the default launcher/home (ie its not that great unlike the immediate WOAH of SGS2 stock or the glitz of sense). Other minor niggles IMO include slightly buggy bluetooth (compared to my other droids), , power/usb is on the left, not bottom, and if you don't actually use the fingerprint reader feature, the power button placement is less than ideal.
Like I said thou once you custom ROM/kernel it absolutely flies
However to each their own, maybe you like motoblur (if I was addicted to social media I could see myself liking it a lot more) and don't mind the AT&T restrictions (no native SIP, have to pay for tethering).
Yep, bought one outright off contract today. Well worth it.
Stay away from Captivate
1. The Motorola Atrix is the best smart phone I ever had
2. The Samsung Captivate was the worst piece of crap I ever had. Went through 3 of them before finally giving up. Stay away from this one.

Well you're asking in atrix forum, so HE'LL NO, don't go for it. All jokes aside, its a worthy successor to The nexus one. Surprised me. Slcd is impressive. And blinding at lowest brightness. And once you unlock bootloader and root it, the least you can do is flash a stock rom minus some of the bloat to get your toes wet on how capable it is.

Atrix doesn't have any major issues if you ask me (antenna, sound quality are all great).
+ We have an unlocked bootloader and CM7 on the way. With vanilla android Atrix will be amazingly future proof.
Go for the ATRIX. Its totally worth the 4g and dual cores.
Sent from my Atrix 4G with XDA Premium App
I have both atrix and inspire... The inspire has a much nicer ui tons of custom roms let's just say tons of eye candy it runs smoothly when overclocked mine is at 1.3ghz but can go up to 1.8ghz... Battery life sucks but can be tweaked for example my phone when asleep runs at a little over 300mhz and when on runs at 1.3ghz so it gives a full day with moderate use gps is the second best I've seen 1st being the Atrix of course solid build some say feels too heavy.. I like it.
My atrix like many people said is more future proof ui not so pretty great loud speaker comparable to the blackberry bold 9000 awesome GPS can't be beat by any mobile phone qhd display if you like that icons and keyboard seem soooo small after using the inspire for a while picture quality is grainy compared to inspire which is 8mp looks like iphone quality HD recording too me seems smoother on atrix... With the ui on the inspire it seems to do more then blur... Sense is integrated more with facebook and twitter in every aspect.. Sound on the headset on both devices are loud and clear so it's basically comes down to what you like

First of all, you're asking this in an Atrix Forum so I can only guess what most responses are going to be ; )
But seriously, I originally had an Inspire and I can honestly say that the Atrix has better functionality with battery life, screen resolution, call quality, etc. I would stay away from the Infuse since it has been rumored that AT&T's SGS2 variant should be out this month and they might also be offering a model with a pretty damn good looking keyboard on it as well.

Coming from a Nexus One, I tried an Infuse before I got the Atrix. It was slower than the N1, and it always lowered the brightness when used outdoors because of heat.

Awesome. Very nearly iPhone 4 ppi on 4.6 inches and its SAMOLED AND its 720p. I really hope this leak is real cause I'm sold on the display alone. I only hope the next nexus doesn't do away with the sd card slot >_<
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Same. Super excited about the 720p screen. Considering my laptop is 15" and 1280x800 its quite astonishing how far screen technology evolved :\ Although apparently its still pentile but considering my Epic is already pentile I think I should be fine.
What I want:
1.5 GHz Dual Core (or even quad-core? maybe too early still)
10-12 MP Camera (There is an android phone expected to have a 12 MP camera soon, so it would be cool to see the NP have one)
720p display (which seems confirmed)
4.5-4.65" display (which is also likely)
BETTER BATTERY LIFE? (2000 mAh??!!?)
ICS will bring a huge update to the OS, but most likely UI which is cool
Anyone else agree?
Lol Galaxy S II already blows iPhone 4S out of the water:

I would agree with this for the most part. I don't think we'll see a quad-core in this guy quite yet. As for the camera, MP is only a fraction of what makes a good camera. I personally believe the camera on the Epic is pretty rock solid for a phone.
I think once you get over a 4.5" screen, it's getting to be too big for a phone. I would like to see it no more than 4.5". However, even with the lack of buttons, I'm surprised at how much 'dead' space there is at the bottom of the phone. I figured without the buttons, they would be able to utilize about the whole front as the screen. They can put the carrier branding crap on the back.
Not only would I like to see a bigger capacity battery, but I'm guessing ICS probably has some good things in it which will improve batter life as it is.
If this thing comes to Sprint, it shall be my next phone, without question!
Yeah the biggest issue being Verizon will probably be the first to get it.... My upgrade is available yet I have to wait more... /firstworldproblems

Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Will someone please tell me where all these ridiculous rumors that Verizon will get any exclusivity on the next Nexus came from? Let's stack up the evidence:
1) Verizon to this date is the ONLY carrier who does not currently have even 1 Nexus phone.
2) Verizon actively refused these phones because they couldn't ruin them with bloat; a factor that has not changed.
2a. The Nexus phones aren't crazy big sellers and thus wouldn't change Verizon's decision, especially not enough to make them pay for exclusivity.
3) Google is crazy in bed with Sprint right now with Google Wallet and Google Voice being exclusive services currently.
4) Google just tricked the Nexus lines current customers into signing 2 year contracts with T Mobile and Sprint; why would they intentionally screw developers by making it so they can't get this Nexus device without an ETF?
Evidence FOR Verizon exclusivity:
1) the words "Droid" and "Prime" were once seen written on the same line of text? And there is absolutely no proof that that phone exists or is not just a bloated Nexus variant.

They seem to be sticking to the shape of the OG Nexus. Does anyone know if it will have no SD card slot and be all internal memory? I remember when people thought the OG Nexus would be dual core as well. I will wait for iron clad proof that its coming to Sprint and has at least a bigger battery and more powerful processor because that screen has got to use more battery

@usf - I don't know all the answers to your questions, but here's where I see an almost problem:
3) Google is crazy in bed with Sprint right now with Google Wallet and Google Voice being exclusive services currently.

This was true, until Sprint went and dumped $20B towards Apple. I really hope that didn't piss off Google too much. If I were getting cozy with someone and they went and did something like that, I would seriously have to reconsider my association/partnership with them.

And I would consider that compelling evidence against exclusivity on sprint as well. The decision for which carriers were getting this was made months ago and its unlikely that sprint was talking to google about buying the iphone all the way back then.

As, I approach my upgrade time. I am pondering my options... and wondering what others are thinking.
When I first read about this phone model (the upcoming Incredible 4g), I was not not especially impressed. But with more leaked info, I wonder is this actually my ideal (or very near ideal) phone.
1. It supposedly will have the S4 Krait processor. This is an upgrade over anything currently on Verizon. I didn't realize that it was going to get this processor. If it doesn't have this processor, then I really don't have any interest. I thought the Incredible 4g was just a smaller Rezound. I was wrong. This processor is an improvement over phones like the Rezound and G Nexus.
2. I have not liked the idea of the newer phones eliminating the SD card. This phone will have a SD card slot... plus 8 gigs internal.
3. It will have a removable battery, another thing that myself and many others have not liked about other new models coming out. I have managed to get excellent life out of my stock Dinc1 battery... but I've always been happy to know that there are bigger replacements available if I wanted them... or if the stock battery were to get weak with age.
4. I am torn by the manufacturers making screens bigger and bigger on phones (and with greater and greater numbers of pixels to control and illuminate). Those screens sure look nice... but I'm not crazy about how much power they use. The Incredible 4g has a qHD 4" screen, so it should look nice enough, and not use that much juice (compared to the 720p phones with 4.7" screens). Also importantly to me, it will be comfortable to stick in my pockets. I just don't watch movies or TV shows on my phone. Yeah, I've done it, just to do it. But, I've got more comfortable options... like our couch and plasma TV (or even our computers).
5. Integrated LTE on the chip? 4g speeds... less battery usage than current 4g phones... thaz awesome...
6. 1gig RAM... same as everything else out there...
7. Nice enough camera (same as ONE series)... Beats (meh whatever)... etc...
8. I do play games, to kill time on my phone, but I often tend to prefer the casual type puzzle games. High performance gaming isn't especially important to me, but still this phone should be nicely capable of playing most games very well.
I know this phone does not follow the "slim and sexy" trend that is happening in phone fashion. I just wonder if I am the only weirdo "anti-fashion" person out there. Plus it looks to be reasonably priced. Anybody else think this phone looks preferable than the other new options coming?
And most importantly... anybody think this phone will get good developer support? Just wondering how others view this phone...
I also approach my upgrade time (I think its in June) and as it approaches I'm paying more attention to what's out there. This new incredible seems to hit all the right spots. The only thing I wish it had wad a 720p screen. Qhd certainly isn't a deal breaker though.
I'm eagerly awaiting the announcement of the Incredible 4G. However I'm also waiting to see what the Galaxy S3 has to offer. I may end up waiting a little longer for that. I dont mind morw waiting as I love my incredible and its simply the best phone I've ever owned.
If my incredible broke today and I was offered an early upgrade id probably opt for a Razr Maxx.

not exactly. early upgrade is an incentive.
verizon emailed me an early upgrade offer for 50 bucks off any new phone last week...
and today snail mailed me an offer for 100 dollars off.
they just want you contracting another 2 years... thats where the real money is at.
My upgrade was up the first of April, and I watched it go by. Honestly, for what I really do with the phone it just didn't make sense to drop the coin on something new that would meet or exceed some of my expectations but let me down in others.
One of the biggest drawbacks to most of these phones coming out (IMO....) is the size of em. Damn, if I wanted an Ipad, I'd buy the dang thing.... These new phones look beautiful but having to wear a hubcap around my waist because it won't fit in my pockets anymore, I just don't dig.
I have been so pleased with the first gen INC that when I heard the INC 4g was coming out, and the screen size, man, I said that's the ticket, faster, and still good size, removable batt, sd card, I'm in, I'm all in......
You raise a very good argument on the OP. The only thing I would need is a guarantee that Devs will get CM9 running on it. My Dinc right now is perfect with CM9.
Not sure how many Inc devs can or will get the Inc 4g due to all getting the rezound. And there's no guarantee of anything before its done. Most likely it will get cm9 but don't quote me on that.
And ics, while OK on the Inc is far from perfect. Camcorder and video don't work 100% on cm9. One of the reasons I got the nexus is to have the best initial support with ICS working smooth without any complex porting.

I'm glad to see some people with something positive to say about this phone. There has been a lot of bad reaction out there for what ever reason. I suspect its people just not understanding about the processor. I've got an upgrade on the 25th, and this thing is supposed to hit the 26th. I'm pretty excited.
I'll probably use it the first month pretty much stock, and then start branching out as things become available. Also looking forward to CM9. I may keep a recovery around to play with and one for actual use with 100% function. If it doesn't come with a 32 gb class 10 sd card, that will be my first upgrade to it. Hoping they pack a nice battery in it.
I think as a OneS variant, there won't be too much difficulty finding devs to take interest.

Well we have 4 days til launch, almost 3, and we've received no word of demo units coming in. So unless they come in tomorrow, I'm doubting that April 26th launch. Perhaps that's when the demo units are coming in? I believe the leaked documents did say "Device workshop" on April 26th.(Although I'm not all too sure what that is). It definitely should be coming within the next two weeks if it misses that release date though.
This phone will certainly be the perfect phone for me when it comes out, if the rumored specs are true. Really hoping this phone gets good dev support too.
We've been discussing the Incredible 4G for a while over in this thread, and I'll repeat my overall opinion here: When this phone comes out it will be hands-down the best phone available on Verizon. All of the websites out there that call it mid-range are out of their minds.
Here are some thoughts I have on some of the OP's points:

The processor is not the only improvement over the Rezound... there are so many more. The only reason people compare this phone to the Rezound is the aesthetic similarity. That's really the only thing these two phones have in common.

That is likely, but not a given. Early reports were able to 100% confirm some things like "yes, it has a microSD slot." Those reports didn't come right out and say that the battery is removable though. But, they did say that the backplates are interchangeable, which is a good indication that we'll have battery access

The camera on the One series (and very very likely this phone too) is much better than "Nice enough". It is amazing. Engadget called the One S "the best Android cameraphone we've seen yet"

It certainly wont be sexy... it's an Incredible. Have you seen these things?
That said, it will be slim and light. Probably not as much as the One S (because this one needs LTE and the One S probably has a little more room to stuff things because of the bigger screen), but the initial reports are that it is very thin and light.
iowabeakster said:

On Verizon, absolutely. There is nothing better. That is, as long as you are cool with the smaller screen size
The only reason not to get it is the screen size... A lot of people have been begging for a high-end 4" phone, and now they finally have one. That said, some people just "need" those mammoth 4.5+" screens. If you're one of the latter, then this phone is probably not the best bet.
For everyone else though, this will be the best phone you can get when it comes out... and the price is looking like it will cost less than the original incredible did at release, which is a bonus

It has to. There's no way they would release it without the S4 (at least, not for more than like 50 bucks)
Sidenote: I'm a bit bummed by the price. I never really believed the "$100 or $150" rumors, but I was hoping that Verizon would stop the $299 madness and go back to $199 that used to be the standard (and is becoming the standard again on other carriers... look at the new Evo for example)
Althought... the site was never really intended to go live... so maybe they just copied a template and hadn't actually finished with it... i.e. hadn't fixed the price yet.
And for anyone who wants to see the leak itsmefu was talking about...

Oh, lol. Yea, I don't think even the Motoroloas actually put "Droid" on the device.
Thanks for the additional info demarcmj. I certainly am not any authority on this phone. If anything I said was untrue, it was unintentional. Mostly I was expressing my opinions about the phone specs, just for myself, and they way I would use it.
I'm glad you shared your thoughts and could bring better detailed info.
For example: The comment about the "nice enough" camera was a little tongue in cheek. It is an excellent camera, for a phone camera. I've got other gear for taking pictures. For me, the camera on my Dinc1 is "nice enough". I really only use it for scanning QR codes.
I'm pretty bummed about the $299 price tag, too. The One X is on ATT for $199.
The Incredible 4g (with its non-HD screen) is not going to sell many units at $299. That is craziness, Verizon.
Hey everyone. Just wondering if anyone switched from a One X to the Sq? If so what are your thoughts so far...

What he said
I've had the One X since launch and got my Galaxy S III two days ago.
The Galaxy S III in pebble blue is classier and more interesting looking device. The pebble blue color just looks incredible. However its slippery and hell and really feels cheap when it gets covered with fingerprints and feels all greasy. Happens even with clean hands.
The One X feels a lot more premium to hold but the GS III is more comfortable to hold.
The S III is fast as hell. I prefer Sense but Touchwiz is amazingly fast. It's ridiculous how Sense stutters and lags so much. Just opening up the damn app drawer will cause it to stutter momentarily. It's silly how HTC can't fix such trivial issues. Not to mention the terrible multitasking on it.
The unified design across all models makes it worth it to own this phone. If you're looking for accessories for the LTE One X its tough because that phone is ever so slightly different than the int One X.
The screen on the One X is far superior to AMOLED, although the GS III's display is an improvement over the One X. The One X is sharper, clearer, brighter, true whites and every color is realistic. The GS III might have blacks but the One X has every other color including white.

Not yet......
I am running out of patience though, waiting for Best Buy to fill my preorder which I placed in store on 6.5.12. The latest word is they aren't expected to do so until 6.28.12, which pisses me off cause people who preordered as recent as 6.21.12 are expected to get theirs today If I can convince the manager at my BB to waive the activation fee and exchange fee I think i'm gonna pick one up to hold me over until my GS3 arrives. It's getting more and more painful to hold on to this Atrix 2 as the days go by :crying:
Does the gps work? Samsung phones never had a working gps. That alone would make me regret buying it.
My GPS is spot on and locks very quickly. Having said that, I think that out of the box the One X was better for me. I cant stand Touch Wiz, especially Samsung's sms/mms app. Once we get some dev support I have no doubts it will be superior but the One X definitely held its own as well.
I have both and am trying to decide which to keep... I have 10-days left to return the One X..
The both ROCK and right now I am 60/40 in favor of keeping the S3..
Screen:
One X = 10/10 & S3 = 9/10
The One X screen is hands down the best I have ever seen.. WOW is really the only thing that needs to said.. The S3 screen is nice but the One X wins here..
Design:
One X = 8.5/10 & S3 = 8/10
The One X is a gorgeous looking device but it looses points for the power button placement and the volume rocker is hard to find / press.. The buttons on it are depressed to far.. The S3 is also very nice looking but it looses points for it's very plastic feel in the hand. The One just feels better to hold and look at..
Software: (Sense -v- TW)
One X = 8/10 & S3 = 9 /10
I have always liked TW better than Sense but Sense 4 is pretty darn sweet.. Some things I don't like in Sense is that it's a bit difficult to navigate the menus at times. It boots slow and has a few minor glitches here and there... Also it's currently only on 4.0.3 and multitasking is messed up..
Hardware:
One X = 8.5/10 & S3 = 10/10
Both have the same processor but the S3 has more RAM.. The camera on the One X is slightly better and the One X locks GPS faster... The S3 has a bigger and removable battery and an SD card slot. Phone quality is pretty simular on both devices..
Overall:
One X = 8.5/10 & S3 = 9/10
Both are AWESOME devices and it basically boils down to what each and every user wants / needs in a device.. You really can't go wrong with either of them.. I think the S3 wins because of the RAM, the SD card slot and the removable battery.. I think the One X wins because of the screen, build quality, and it's looks..
I will have both devices for the next week, so if you have questions feel free to ask.. Just remember we are different people who have different wants and needs so my opinion may differ from yours...

I have white, i think the colors are moot points. I much prefered my grey One X to the white version. I dont think it feels cheap, I just think people relate LIGHT to CHEAP. It could be made out of actual carbon fiber and people would still say the samsung feels too cheap.
The One X feels a lot more premium to hold but the GS III is more comfortable to hold.
Agree. I hate the power button location on the One X. Not only is it on the top, but its also on an angle that makes it hard to press when your finger comes naturally from the back

Agree. Touchwiz is smoother, albeit, Sense is MUCH nicer. The only thing keeping me using the touchwiz launcher over Nova is the full size calendar widget.
The unified design across all models makes it worth it to own this phone. If you're looking for accessories for the LTE One X its tough because that phone is ever so slightly different than the int One X.
Agreed. It pissed me off to high heaven that the super sweet international One X dock was available, but not for my AT&T version.

Eh. the pentile thing is overblown. Yes its not as good but the blacks alone make up for the "pentile" of the phone. Is the One X in the win? I think so, but not as much as people make it out to be.

Biggest boner kill for me with the sgs3 so far believe it or not is the stupid wall adapter they include. It's not the powerful one that came with the nexus or galaxy tab, but the old, outdated one from the focus. its 0.15A vs the Gnex's 1.0A. This will be the FIRST thing I buy ($12 on amazon or the HTC one for $6)

Had the international one x and its crap compared to this, only thing worth it in the x is the screen and even still the s3 is not that far behind. Sense is nothing but lag while touchwiz is very smooth. I rather have stock but this will do.

No lag here on clean rom 3.0. It's a shame we have to flash a custom rom to get a smooth sense but hey what's android without custom roms lol.

Yeah, that's a tough one. My opinion is that the One X just doesn't compare. The multitasking alone is worth the trade. The screen isn't as sharp but it's not far off. The black levels and contrast , in my opinion, make the Amoled more enjoyable. This is coming from someone that hates pentile.
The S3 is more fluid and just feels a lot more polished. My wife got my One X, so I still have it to compare to. Keep in mind, these are my opinions and I am not throwing them out there as be all end all facts. Different strokes for different folks.

I really don't have any issues with the multitasking on the One X. Actually works pretty good. I think people don't actually understand how it works compared to what they were used to seeing. Instead of holding onto stale data, it refreshes automatically when switching back to an app, where in the past it just showed you the old data and then would update once you resumed using the app. Visually you see this and think that there is an issue, but I think this is really a cosmetic issue more than anything. No different in my opinion versus my Inspire 4g with ICS as far as functionality. Might be a little aggressive, but not prohibitive in any way.

[Q] Just got my Nexus 4 and it doesn't feel worth the price or "Nexus" label
Let's run down this list:
No LTE
720p screen is relatively standard
No hardware keys
Front camera is wimpy
No microSD
No USB Host/OTG out of box
Not easy to replace/disassemble
Poor impact protection (we've all seen the horrors)
Expensive replacement parts (what is it, $90 for the front?)
Average battery
I literally feel I'd be getting more with a One X or S3 for nearly the same price (I did get the phone directly from T-Mobile, which allows for exchange, though it is more expensive). So what if I have official Google support... what else makes this phone as great as people say it is?!? The GNex, and S2 also seem like better choices, if we are specifically discussing the same price point. The more I use it, the more iPhone-y it feels, just running 4.2.2 instead of iOS 7.
In summary: Why do you have this phone and why do you like it?
Dont cry, just sell it.

I can return it within 14 days, as I said, this is not an issue.

Let's run down this list:
No LTE
720p screen is relatively standard
No hardware keys
Front camera is wimpy
No microSD
No USB Host/OTG out of box
Not easy to replace/disassemble
Poor impact protection (we've all seen the horrors)
Expensive replacement parts (what is it, $90 for the front?)
Average battery
I literally feel I'd be getting more with a One X or S3 for nearly the same price (I did get the phone directly from T-Mobile, which allows for exchange, though it is more expensive). So what if I have official Google support... what else makes this phone as great as people say it is?!?

You did not do your homework before you bought it?
Alright...sorry for my answer, i just hate if people crying here..you knew the Phones Hadware etc. before you got it. I really like the Nexus, it has very good handling and is lightning fast. The 720p Display is perfect, just rember ; everything above 300ppi looks the same for your eyes. I had to decide between the S3 and the N4 but after a while of playing with the S3 of a friend, i didnt even thought about buying the S3 anymore. I hate TouchWiz, its ugly and it's laggin. Maybe you know someone with an s3/OneX where you can test the phone for yourself
Sorry for my bad English , im German and only 14 years old yet.

I did, I just want to see the feedback of people who have used it longer than I have. Coming from a Samsung Mesmerize to the latest Nexus device, I expect... a LOT.

If I was to get an S3 or HTC One or One S or One X, the first thing I would to is S-OFF and install the latest CyanogenMod build. I would not stick to Sense/TouchWiz.

I mean that's kind of a given. My Samsung Mesmerize runs 4.2.2 because of CM, when it would otherwise be stuck at 2.3.4.

Okay, but i dont understand your question then, if you defintely wont keep Sense/TouchWiz , why would you get the S3 or the OneX/S instead of keeping the Nexus? They are nearly the same... except of the Screen Processor etc. And of course the Handling but i think the N4 is better in all those categories ?

1. it does have lte, its just disabled. you can enable it, i use strictly lte now.
2. its better than most devices
3. one of the best features
4. almost all front cams are wimpy
5. that bugged me a few years back, i quickly grew out of it.
6. doesnt relate to me.
7. fairly easy to disassemble.
8. in certain situations yes. but mine has fallen too many times without any damage, no protection on it, naked.

The phones I listed have the features that a Nexus 4 doesn't. Other than a quad core processor, all I see is advantages on the other phones. The HTC One has better audio quality and camera, the S3 (IMO) has a better screen and is a lot more disassembly-friendly, and includes LTE, an SD card slot, and many more things.

1. its only has LTE on a single band.
4. Many phones feature 1080p front cams
7. Battery can't be swapped on the go.
8. $90 to replace the LCD and Touchscreen? Let's try $20 to replace the front glass on an S3 instead.
10. depends on the usage, kernel, clock and rom.

S2 has a nearly as well established dev community, i know the screen is only 800x480, but the processor speed is comparable, USB OTG is out of the box, dedicated buttons for actions.

Please justify the upsides of owning an N4, and I will reply to S2 ownership.
I'm have my nexus 4 since today, and the phone it's amazing... I have the doubt to buy s3 or n4, and decide to nexus4, because of everything.... Better hardware, more beautiful... The card slot I don't care, or radio fm... Nexus it's awesome phone

No LTE - Not in my area, plus I get better speeds than cable with HSPA+.
720p screen is relatively standard - And more than sufficient for a 4.7 inch display. Why would you want to waste more battery and GPU pushing more pixels? Especially when you ***** about battery life and screen replacement cost just a few lines down.
No hardware keys - Nexus won't ever have them, but you knew that, right?
Front camera is wimpy - More than enough for it's intended purpose. Why would I want to compress more pixels for a video chat?
No microSD; No USB Host/OTG out of box - Design decision, but you knew that, right? Its a phone, I have no need for these.
Not easy to replace/disassemble - Did you check the iFixit teardown? More serviceable than most phones. I think the build design is very good.
Poor impact protection - The drop tests I saw had it compare favorably to the S3.
Expensive replacement parts (what is it, $90 for the front?) - Yes, due to a fused digitizer/display. Seems about average for both.
Average battery - Check out Qualcomm's Battery Guru.
In addition to my differences with the above assessments, I think the phone looks and feels great, works great, is open and unlocked (I will never be on contract again), and is priced at a point where I won't get sick if I lose it or drop it (which for me really adds to the usability).

I get great battery life. The GPS locks insanely fast. The phone is blazing fast. Dev support is second-to-none. It's gorgeous. It feels amazing in my hand. The screen looks great. I don't have to settle for CM.
Oh, and PA is developed specifically for this device. That means we get the new features first. And the builds aren't ports. They're compiled, fully functioning builds.
