Galaxy Nexus is HUGE

So today I stopped by phones 4 u on the high street and had a look at the Nexus. I love the design but my God it is big. There's a pic attached to show you the size comparison. The screen is so much better than the XL but its a bit disappointing that it still has a 5MP camera when the XL has an 8MP Camera.
I've fallen for it and will hopefully have mine in my hands tomorrow Will submit a system dump asap. But still gotta figure out how to root it :?

Which store? I gave up my search in the end accepting that it was only the Oxford St store in London that had stock. Was that not right?

Do you honestly need to take 8mp pictures? You do realize that MP is only the size of the image and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual image quality right?

Exactly....look at a picture taken with a very old Nikkon D40 and compare it with any size MP point and shoot, it's not even close in quality. This is like everyone complaining about the lack of an exynos processor, doesn't seem to have any lag in any video or review I have seen. Specs are fine to use, just need to keep them in perspective and use them appropriately.

Thank God someone else knows what I'm saying. The lack of understanding is just amazing to me. People should really do research before talking. As far as I know about the processor, that the processor its using can typically be way overclocked. Plus now that we have full hardware acceleration, things will run very very well.

TI omap 4460 is a 1.5ghz processor that is underclocked for the GN, hence it can be clocked to that for sure and probably up to 1.8 or so. They designed ICS to be optimized for TI Omap processors. Now, I am less impressed with the gpu that comes with it, it is definitely the lowest powered of the top mobile chips. This is a beast of a phone and I hope we see some news on an HSPA version in the US.

You could just go to http://www.phone-size.com/?s=1,12,3 and then scroll out one or so clicks and the phone will be "life sized". However for demonstration purposes it still does a fairly good job.

LOL. Yeah, it is big. I just visited that site vonapets url'd and compared all my current phones (N1, SGS, Nexus S, Galaxy S II, Thunderbolt, Droid Charge) to the Galaxy Nexus: http://www.phone-size.com/?s=12,13,65,7,85,3 , and it's not much larger, and actually ~25% thinner, than the largest of my phones (the Charge) which fits easily in my slacks and jeans front pockets. Someone wearing painted on jeans might have issues I guess.
The Charge and SGS II are just a little too large for my hands to use comfortably one-handed. My thumb can't reach the bottom left of the phone without putting it in a precarious balanced position. The big 4.3" screens are great, though. I'm afraid the new Nexus might cross that threshold of being to big to be practical for me, but I'll still probably get one. LOL

This attitude. Now that everyone has read a few articles on sensor technology it seems EVERYONE feels the need to school people on cameras.
Yes, it's true, MP doesn't have that much to do with it. But the Galaxy Nexus camera is piss poor. It produces results almost identical to the NS camera, which i feel was essentially the same as the N1 before it. Look how far mobile cameras have come in the HTC titan and the iPhone 4S. For a flagship phone in this price range, this is simply unacceptable. For Samsung, even moreso as the shooter in the GS2 is much better. No wonder people make the 5MP 8MP comparison.
People need to stop being apologetic towards companies, and start calling them out on their mistakes. The processor in the Galaxy Nexus is acceptable, but the GPU is really not up to par with today's superphones. The plastic case construction is an improvement over the fisher-price NS, but still cheap garbage compared to the designs of HTC and Apple, yet they charge the same price.
Enough. Stop trying to school people and school the companies instead. It's the only way we'll get better products.

Sony xperia S vs galaxy nexus?

I was set on upgrading to the galaxy nexus but after using the device I am just not sure anymore. I have an i9023 and in all honestly I found the display of the gnexus underwhelming. It was too dim compared to nexus S LCD and the whites were pretty bad. I am just used to having a high quality LCD I suppose and dont mind it's shortcomings anymore but would be more annoyed at SAMOLED shortcomings rather than appreciate it's qualities. I am by no means saying that LCD is superior tech, just personal preference.
And then the loudspeaker is a disaster on the galaxy nexus, again I am really used to having an above average speaker on the nexus S and this is almost a deal breaker.
So then I used the xperia S and I really loved the screen, the viewing angles were unfortunately worse than nexus S but overall it just felt superior. Amazing colors and sharpness, contrast was acceptable as well. I didnt seem to have any problem with the face buttons of the xperia but I didnt concentrate on them too much which I should have since many people are dreading them.
The speaker was better than even nexus S and the camera is superb with the hardware button making it much better to comfortably take pics.
I also found the xperia S to be more comfortable to handle despite being heavier, the galaxy nexus is a giant.
And then it's 32GB which is really good, I feel for these sort of phones 16GB is not enough when you have 1080p video recording and HD screens.
Unfortunately the xperia S is still stuck on GB which is really sad for such a nice phone.
Ofcourse the biggest strength of the nexus is the software support. What do you honestly think is the better phone and why?

Galaxy nexus.

If you like the xperia the most then go for it. ICS Is just around the corner for him according to rumors. Just keep in mind that there's some xperia that can't be bootloader unlocked from Sony's webpage.

You can flash CM or AOKP and set your own auto-brightness levels, lowest stock ICS one is too dim compared to GB.

Galaxy Nexus for sure! i will get mine in a few days and its an awesome upgrade from my Nexus S i9023. HD Super amoled screen, deep black colors and great software support. The only thing that i absolutely hate is the Pentile technology, but who cares.. its still 316PPI.

No I set both phones to full brightness, reviews suggested the nexus maxes out at 200nits brightness and it seemed true.

Ah. Well, Sony's well known for its Bravia Engine screens, so the colors might be better then on GN, but resolution wise it's other way around. I'd say the other things outweigh the possible better screen.

Xperia S has an RGB 720p screen....
The colors apart from white were fairly good on the GN but it just really lacked brightness. The only thing the nexus screen has over xperia S is infinite black.

Updates for SE phones are always "just around the corner according to rumors". To my experience, never buy an SE phone in the hope of an update "coming soon". If OP think it's a good phone and are content with the Android version it ships with, get it. If OP won't be happy with a phone until it gets a certain update, wait until that update is readily available before you buy.
Which phone would be best for OP, I wouldn't know.

iPhone 4/4S vs. SIII Screen Brightness at Max

I still have to wait a little while here in the States before I can see the SIII screen in person.
In the meantime, I want to ask the community a favor. I'd really like to know how the SIII's screen stands up to the iPhone 4/4's screen at full brightness on both devices. (With auto-brightness disabled.) If someone has looked at the SIII and the 4/4S at full brightness side by side, could you tell me how they compare? My fear is that the SIII will not be as bright as the 4/4S at max level. If someone currently possesses an SIII and 4/4S and could snap a side by side shot of both screens at max brightness, that would be greatly appreciated too. Thanks!

Do some research... Go to GSM Arena and read up on the SGS3 articles, they have brightness test and measurements comparisons. I would post a link, but I don't want to spoon feed people here anymore. Don't mean to sound like a **** but we all have google at our disposal.

The brightest screen I have ever seen in direct sunlight is the LG Optimus Black. It claims to have the brightness of 700 candles? I laughed when I heard that. But honestly direct sunlight is no big deal to that phone. The Galaxy S III isn't that good in direct sunlight. But don't let that put you off. Everything else I am in love with.

I did read the SIII articles on GSM Arena. I'd like some personal XDA takes versus just what GSM Arena has to say. I know you aren't trying to be rude, but to say my answers are a Google search away is pushing it. Clearly I want to hear from this community regarding the matter. If I was asking a question that can be answered on a spec page, then you'd be right, but I want to hear from others regarding the matter.

I've got both S3 which i got last week and 4s which i am using since past 4 months .
In general i dont find much of difference , but when the the background is white you'll surely find 4s to be brighter same goes when you using the fone under direct sunlight !

The reason the iphone is un-noticably slighty brighter is because of the smaller screen & the type of display.

note 2 vs one x

frnds which one is the best ?
galaxy note 2 vs. htc one x

and why? better
...why

the gn2 is way batter than the HOX... no argumentation needed

depends what you want,
ive just moved from a one x to the note 2 and for me it was a wise choice.
the battery on the one x was awful at best, it would never last the whole shift at work unless i had a mobile charger.
the ui on the one x is much more pretty than the note 2 (i still really dont like that touchwiz [email protected]) but touch wiz has more features and can be customised more.
the screens are imho nicer on the one x, (ducks) expecially when put side by side, but on thier own they both look really nice so dont make that a deal breaker.
build quality is very nice on the one x, the note 2 is plastic but fills solid so no worryies there.
if your a very light user that very rarely plays with the phone get the one x (dont even think about gaming or videos), it will last all day and some if you dont use it, but if you want to use the smartphone as intended get the note 2, i run audiobooks all day with mine and still walk in though my front door with over 60% battery life, the one x would be on its second or third charge at that point.
memory is the other deal breaker for me know along with removable batterys, the note 2 has both of these removable the one x is fixed (iphone like). After 6 months of useage nearly of the one x i would never ever EVER pick a phone that had non removable batterys and memory again.
the other deal breaker is you cannot root the one x without (maybe) voiding your warrenty - htc cannot make its mind up to void or not so they put a may* in the terms and conditions, result being if you have a minor fault with your phone thats been rooted they will change the mainboard every time even if its nothing to do with it and charge you for the priviledge.
these are the issues i came accross look in the htc one x area and you will see excatly what i mean.
you just need to decide if the phone is too large - i fine it a bit cumbersome but fine to use as a every day phone / media player.

Seriously...this will go no where. Everyone has his personal opinions and needs. You have websites designed to judge that.
Just go to www.gsmarena.com or some other website for that..
Evwry mobile has its pros and cons and theres no point in just having a dog fight between them.

Well, seeing as the Optimus G was released, i'd say in terms of performance, that is top dog (the S4 beating out Exynos... although no S pen or cool features like S apps, etc). But of course, both phones are extremely fast (and some people dislike LG phones due to lackluster support)

Thanks for the pics, I have to say, the HOX has seriously large bezels (I used to bash on Samsung phones for that, but this latest generation fixed that problem).

Just played with the Z...

I must say, it certainly feels great in the hand! Premium feel like a certain fruity phonemaker's phones, not the cheap plastic of a certain Korean brand... The screen is gorgeously crisp, viewing angles are good, and the gaming and video playback is smoooooth
For those in singapore, there are 2 Z demo units at the Wisma Sonystyle.

It doesnt feel too big? I plan on getting this, instead of my iPhone 4. It's quite a jump from 3.5" to 5". Though I used to have an HD2, so it might just be a question of getting used to a much larger display.

I have a Nexus 4 which is a 4.7, the difference to a 5 will be minimal... most people I know that had iPhones and moved to larger Android devices had no complaints about it. Indeed quite the opposite...
The bets course of action is to go to a Sony store and see how it works for you.

I must say, it certainly feels great in the hand! Premium feel like a certain fruity phonemaker's phones, not the cheap plastic of a certain Korean brand... The screen is gorgeously crisp, viewing angles are good, and the gaming and video playback is smoooooth
For those in singapore, there are 2 Z demo units at the Wisma Sonystyle.

How can you judge something like a screen, based on just a video(s)????

Judging the screen quality based on youtube videos is honestly starting to get ridiculous...

Exactly. Z's screen is beautiful and awesome. I find Super Amoleds disgusting (Personal opinion) I like true to life colors.

Had a quick play with one myself yesterday in a 3UK store, very smooth, very snappy, now seriously looking at pre order, if only i can find a way to pay off my last couple of months Voda contract to jump ship to O2

Sv: Just played with the Z...
Hi can you please upload a systemdump of it?
