As always, HeelsAndTech does a good job.
I was very impressed when I saw its comparison between S3 and OneX, and one more time I felt impressed

Wow fantastic job by heels & tech. They set the standard for a review. Though some things needs to be included, its the best available right now.

My wife and I are the opposite. She has the s3 while I have the note 2. Doesn't she find the phone too large? My wife says my phone is HUGE but she's only like 5'1 120lbs so she's not the biggest person either.

Do you know the name of butterfly live wallpaper on Note2 in that review?

thanks for sharing, really good and enjoyable review

Nexus 4 and galaxy note 2

Guys the reason for thread is to sample peoples opinion on this two phones to find out which one is better since am torn in between decision of which one is better and more powerful.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Please add Samsung Galaxy S III to the title too, cause I'm interested in the devices too. Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Note II looks like a better choice hardware wise if only the size is not a problem for you (for me it's too bulky). In Nexus 4 battery life and camera are not very impressive. It also lacks sd card slot. If you're fine with it then take N4 for best rom support. Agree Galaxy 3 should be also considered with its vulnerability being the only drawback in my opinion.

there are so many "it depends" which only you know for yourself.... so every our advice will base on our own opinion... like "Note II is too big" or "S III has not big screen enough"... so put your pro's and con's in two rows, add available $$$ in your pocket and here you go )))

Buy Note 2!
I looked at it deeper, and i found out Note 2 is better than Nexus4 and SGSIII.
Bigger screen (1080p) and better speakers.

I would have picked Note II because it has a better camera, better sound,s pen. Does not appear in the throttling which occurs in the nexus 4

my friend, they all have HD720p not full HD 1080p.

If you support closed binary drivers which result in vendor dependency go buy any Samsung, if you want the latest Roms/android versions, the right to choose and maybe getting into Rom development then a nexus is your device.
I've got the n4 and I'm very happy with it but I like to build roms, cherry pick features and play around with the phone.
It's your decision

usage
note II!! definitely!! but depend on what you want to use. i like note II for it features, mainly for works(bigger screen for reading), s-pen to take note, etc etc.. but for game.. i dont know.

I am running ParanoidAndroid 2.99 with Pie features on my Note2 and it is a terrific phone. The nexus 4 is a league lower, bad camera and battery life. Two things I care about most in my phone except for it's "smartness"

note 2 is better

Nexus 5 Isn't Worth It

Honestly I don't think the Nexus 5 is worth giving up the Nexus 4 just yet unless you are in dire need of the 32gb space which I guess most of you are. I think I'll hold on to my Nexus 4 for one more year and then make the leap to the Nexus 6 or whatever they'll call it.
I think Google will support the N4 for at least one more year and if not we always have these lovely devs.
What are y'all thoughts? PLEASE NO TROLLING OR DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS

I guess it depends on what features are most important to you but to me the next Nexus must blow this phone completely out of the water before I trade it in. I mean don't get me wrong but I would of definitely purchased the Nexus 5 if I didn't have the Nexus 4

Completely agree. As for the fragile thing you only hear from the complainers. You never hear from the happy people.
Look after your phone and you'll not have a problem. Never understood how phones end up in toilets is it really necessary.

You do have a point but keep in mind some users may not have the money or may not even know where to get a case for the N4. Idk. I'm glad I don't fall under the "Nexus 4 is fragile" category. I love the design though.

If I were to guess I'd say the price tag might start at around $380 for the 16gb maybe even more. To me it just isn't worth it if you have a Nexus 4 already.

Not worth it for me ether. I've never been one for upgrading every single year I don't see the point in paying that much to do the same thing but slightly quicker.
I tend to upgrade every 2-3 years
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

In my opinion, it will be the same price as the Nexus 4 was on release.. I don't think there is anything that looks like it is going to be more expensive than the components were when the Nexus4 came out. If it is cheap enough, I would be happy to upgrade once a year, sell the old phone and be only a little bit out of pocket

I think the key indicators of it being slightly more expensive than the N4 is the 4.9 inch screen, 1080p slightly larger battery and pressure sensor (whatever that is). I could be wrong but I'm willing to bet it will be slightly more.

To me there's not much of a major update to the successor (Nexus 5) for me to dish out more money.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It depends on what you use your phone for on weather it will be an upgrade.
For instance I use my phone quite often for playing my old psx games so the extra storage is a godsend.
Also I prefer to play them using opengl graphics as they look so much better however currently opengl only runs single threaded so it can be quite laggy.
If the nexus 5 does include the rumoured 2.3ghz s800 then it would provide a massive improvement to the framerates and would be a great upgrade for me
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

My solution is really easy for this problems. Since Google doesn't sell devices here through the Play Store, I fall under the pricing of LG, which will be ridiculously high as always, so even if I wanted to purchase this phone, I couldn't for an affordable price. :laugh:
I'm glad they are keeping a leash on my finances.

I love my Nexus 4 and I complain about its fragility all the time. It's the first phone I've owned that I have had to put a bumper or a case on. I don't know any other phone that can literally slide off a table with a slight slope.
