So I'm planning on getting a new phone soon, and the price of the Nexus 4 is already pushing it. I was on kogan and I came across a HTC One X for $399.
Same screen size, same resolution, more space. It doesn't have the S4 Quadcore though, it's tegra 3.
Is there something I'm missing? Or should I maybe go for this? I don't know how long I'd have to wait for the Nexus 4 to come back in stock and my current phone (Nokia N8) is dying..
(I'm aware the One X is currently sold out, but I'm fairly sure it'll come back in stock soon)
? people are reporting that they've been buying N4 just a couple days ago and received it already even though it says it will be shipped in 6-7 weeks. you can check this in the other shipping threads in general

But I never ordered one. Check the play store website, in Australia at least, it still says sold out.
So is the One X a decent alternative?

Buy a Nexus S for $50 and a $200 set of headphones. One option.

Oh you're in Australia. Nevermind, thought you were in N.A. or Europe.
One x is a great phone mate.
Been using one while my patience waiting for a n4 slowly dissolves. Get it.
Then wait for Nexus 5.

You should put the Galaxy S3 (international) in your consider list. There are a few things going for it compared to the N4, including: microSD, USB OTG, MHL, Wolfson DAC (audio quality), and base on what I've seen so far: better front and rear camera and better speaker. With that said I've been reading many people having the S3 died instantly on them for no reason.

I was considering a GS3, but it's $200 more than the N4 and $400 is already too much for me, haha.
I want a high end phone with a big screen though, and I've completely filled my current 16GB phone so the 32GB One X seemed good.

There's always custom roms isn't there? And how is it outdated? Quad Core tegra 3 is above anything else at this price range, right? (Besides N4 of course)
Coming from a one x they are a great phone, good dev support etc. I just got bored of HTC sense it got bloated and horrible for me. If you don't want to wait for a N4 a one x is a good option

Couldn't I flash it with a vanilla ICS though? I don't really want all that sense bull****.
Of course but IMHO HTC devices rely heavily on Sense.
Camera performance will suck on AOSP.

Eh, I'd rather the quad core and more space..
There's no way to have decent camera quality without sense?
I don't use the camera that much, but it's still nice to have..
Sense is ok and the camera app is amazing. Great outdoor viewing especially when using camera. You can actually see what you're shooting I've been using since April and have bought and sold a number of new releases but the sim always goes back in the one x for some reason.
First phone I haven't rooted or played with since jailbreaking iPhone 3g.
Stock works fine.....

People say good things of the One X's camera and screen. I'm a fan of the N4's screen, too, personally.
But I despise Sense.

I know I know...I CANT be the only one debating it. But now that its officially out, I must admit that despite how much I HATE the Samsung Galaxy phones, this one looks pretty tight. Hardware wise I know Samsung are great. But I have 2 friends with Galaxy phones who DESPISE them and have even offered to trade them for a Nexus One straight up.
I know dual core phones will be out very soon, but what Im actually only interested in owning Googles "baby" when it comes to support and updates.
So here it is....
Are you going to sell your Nexus One for a Nexus S?
I LOVE my Nexus One..LOVE IT...Im a bit stuck on this one.
Thoughts?
No, I found it too difficult to get a decent price for my Nexus
IF there is an AT&T version then I will get one. My Nexus One has a broken screen and I'm in desperate need of a new phone.
Nope. While it has some advantages over the N1, they are not major enough for me to change. With dual core around the corner, I think I'll pass on the S and wait it out till Q1.

Yep. Only if I can get 3G on AT&T.
I put mine up for sale, and just took it down. I'm gonna wait for something better. When N1 was released, desire came out. I'm gonna hope that when Nexus S comes out, HTC will release something the same, but hopefully more features like an SD slot. Besides... Phone isn't even a year old yet!

Most I could get responses for on Craigslist was a measly $350...
Do I really want to take a $225 loss ($575 original N1 price / tax minus $350 Craigslist sale price) just so that I could upgrade to a SuperAmoled screen and front facing camera? Nope
Im staying with the nexus one...the screen res. is higher on the nexus one then nexus s
My Nexus one has been great for me but I just love shiny new tech toys and the Nexus S kinda looks bad ass and ninja stealthy in all black so yes I'm going to get it (though spec wise it's nothing to shout about). Will still keep my nexus one though for hacking with android.
I'm getting one.
It is not looking good, is is crippled from stock Galaxy S:
- No MicroSD slot, only 16GB onboard
- No 720p video recording (!?!?! will this come in Honeycomb or something)
- Bluetooth 2.1 instead of 3.0
- 1mm thicker than Galaxy S
Things it has that Galaxy S doesn't have
- Gingerbread (Galaxy will get 2.3 soon hopefully that a similar phone has it)
- LED Flash (Couldn't care less)
- NFC (By the time this is mainstream i will probably be through to a new phone anyway)
So looks like Galaxy S is a better buy

You're aware Samsung makes the Nexus S, right?
I plan to sell my Nexus One. Its in great condition T-Mobile model with 16GB SD card. If anyone is interested let me know .
I'm going to pass. I'm happy with my AT&T/Rogers Nexus One. I hear it's quite rare now!
The plastic Nexus S is a dealbreaker. The thing looks too plastic-y for my tastes. It's all about teflon / brushed metal!
I'm passing too! I <3 my N1. The new S isn't standing out at all for me. Sure, 2.3 stock but ill get 2.3 once Cyanogen (my fav mod) releases their version in a month or so. I also love how i can upgrade to up to 32gb sd card which is awesome.
He** NO, after samsung lied about the updates to the Behold II they will never have me as a customer again, Nexus One forever! or at least till there is a Dual Core HTC.
dual core phones coming in future with the tegra 2 and the orion chips, not to mention a possibly newer google phone with honeycomb which might also have dual core.
LG and Samsung are also developing new screens which they will implement in the near future and not to mention there isnt too much that the nexus offers. Most people will only buy it cos it comes with vanilla android and will get faster updates. It also lacks 4g which i suspect will become norm for phones in 2011 with more networks using it.
Was hoping for a higher res camera and screen and by the looks of it this phone also misses out on features already available on many other phones like Wifi direct, DLNA, HDMI, MicroSD slot Bluetooth 3.0 etc. The NFC is basically future proofing your phone as not many things currently support it, its like having a 3D TV with hardly any 3D content. Much better off waiting for the next flagship phone from Samsung and since the Nexus is a rebranded galaxy s then we porting over the new updates the Nexus recieves wont take too long i think
Nope. I have a G2 and an N1.... love the N1 too much plus the Nexus S doesn't even have HSPA+ on it....
No, I'm selling my Vibrant that I got for free.
I keeping my Nexus.
Depends. If Samsung releases a car dock and desktop dock similar to the N1's, then I'll consider selling my N1. Otherwise, I'll keep the N1 for roadtrip use and use it as a bedside tablet and alarm clock.

Nexus 4 has google experience but no LTE, extSD
Samsung tends to have LTE and extSD...but based on the article the S4 will match Verizon Droid DNA 440ppi, but OLED so even better than Droid DNA...that's going to be one kickass phone to have. Downside is probably have to wait for 4 months (until CES 2013) and no google experience.
Worth the waiting?
440ppi overrated?
If you need/want to replace your phone now, get the Nexus 4. If you're planning on waiting at least six months, you'll probably want to look for something else, phone hardware is constantly being one-upped by the newest release.
Are you honestly asking if you should get a phone that won't be released for another 6+ months?
Good luck with that.
Are you able to get it at upgrade price? If not then is LTE (if you have at&t. If you have T-Mobile you may be waiting for a while to get LTE) and expandable storage worth an extra $300+. If you can afford to pay the difference than it's up to your preference

the nexus4 is $299 right now with no contract
the s4 will most likely be in the $600+ range when it comes out and by then the n4 could see a $50 price drop...

I don't see why people label phones based on their price. Do you honestly think any of today's phones are worth what they cost? HECK NO.
Google did something extreme here. They offered a FLAGSHIP unlocked device for a REASONABLE price which is something that hasn't been done. I don't care what you say, no Galaxy phone is worth $600. It's an EXTREME price markup. And no, a higher markup doesn't mean the phone is higher quality (plastic junk that is the current S III).
s3 > nexus 4 in terms of build quality and probably everything else
obviously s4 will blow nexus 4 out of water
I have no money to buy the Galaxy S4 T_T
I think it will be too expensive!
The Nexus 4 is better.
Sorry about my bad English!
Stupid comparison, comparing the nexus 4 to a phone that isn't arriving til summer 2013 based on their past 3 galaxy phones and their release dates.
You might aswell ask Galaxy s4 vs Nexus 5 as that's the same timeframe difference!

N4 or S4 that's a good question !
I wanted N4 now to replace my sgs2, but we may need to wait a month to get it, and rumors around the s4 are growing fast since the coming out of iphone 5 and nexus 4 ! It could be presented in january but more likely in february (in any case sooner than usual).
What we know : samsung as developped a thinner 64gb drive and more powerfull, getting its exynos 5 quadcore ready and mali t658, invested 1billions in oled fhd screens, referenced recently a 4"99 screen with 441ppp, they are now ok with induction charging, and we also know samsung is going to realese the s4 quicker (february). Forgot the flexible screen for early 2013, I don't know how they can integrate it in a fonctionnal daily use.
Also, adreno 320 is one of the first compatible with next opengl es 3.0, wich 2 year old mali 400 is not !
I can imagine the mali t658 if realesed will give a huge kick in the ass of adreno 320
So nexus 4 350 coins in a month for best performance of the year, or wait 2 months for s4 announcement of a product that will kick everybody's ass... that's a good question.
I've been dispointed by samsung this year : 1go ram in s3, mali 400 and low resolution in note 2, I really hope they gonna be perfect in 2013 !!
(Not the point here but have you seen their screens for 2013 ?? Transparent, flexible, high resolution oled etc... )
Last point, if we all die on december 21th, just get a N4 ^^

I sense a strong amount of fanboyism and biasm. Also not sure why you're posting here if you're already completely dismissing the device. This is coming from someone who owned a plasticky S3 and well aware of its build quality, as well as owning the SII, Note and Nexus and various other Samsung.

Hey everyone,
I'm considering to buy a new Phone. My current phone is the HTC Desire, which I use for about 2.5 years now.
Would your recommend buying a Nexus 4 now or is it worth waiting for the X-Phone or the next Nexus device? Some sources claim, that we will see those devices around June, after Google's developer conference. I definitely want a pure Google device.
The thing that is holding me back is that it we are about to allot new gen devices in the near future, with the new iteration of specs. (1080p display, Snapdragon 600 and 800...) So it seems to be a good idea to wait another 3 months or so...
What do you think?
Newer technology is always around the corner, you will wait forever if you always wait for the Next Big Thing. How easy will it be to get one of these as-yet-unreleased phones, and how much will they cost?
The N4 is available right now, at a bargain price, and will be a big step up from your Desire ...

I think that all of those devices will be non nexus, bloated, at the mercy of the Manufacturer devices. And for what? More processing power to view your email? The screens may be nice tho. I don't see why you'd need 1080p on a less then 5in screen tho...
After owning this phone three weeks. I can't see going back to a carrier bloated samsung, HTC, or moto phone.
Look at the galaxy nexus, last year's hardware and it's still one of the smoothest and fastest phones because of pure android. The nexus 4 will hold its value too, it's only 349, don't buy the 8gb. You can always sell on ebay if you don't like it and come out even right now and I have a feeling n4 will keep selling on ebay for close to what you pay from Google. The only issues I have with the n4 is the camera is just not as good in poor lighting as my s3 was, other than that it's great. It's the best deal in Tech. Compared to the desire it's going to be ridiculous.

The right time is now OP. As others have said there is ALWAYS a newer phone with more impressive specs around the corner. With that mindset you will be waiting forever. I realize you dont want to buy the nexus 4 now and a few weeks later the next nexus device is announced. eh "such is life" OP
I'm pretty happy with mine. I'm coming from a Bionic.
I still probably will consider the x phone but this is certainly a solid enough device that I won't feel the need to jump ship the day it is released.

I have just got a HTC one to replace my S3.
The ui is far more basic (or close to stock if you prefer) but the speed is awesome and I think I prefer the more natural screen colours. The definition is amazing.
Overall I am more than pleased. Only 2 days in but I have to say that this is my best ever phone. Only thing slightly lacking is it couldn't wait for the 64gb version and I have a LOT of music but I think I will cope with the 32gb version)
The very best feature in NO LAG! I have been waiting for that so long! Even faster than the Nexus 4. In fact this is the phone the nexus 4 should have been.

I'm dumping my Sprint Galaxy S 3 as soon as I can get my hands on this phone. Every review I've seen so far says it's the best phone they've ever rated. Period. Looking forward to a quad core processor.
The GS 3 is OK. The GS 4 looks like more of the same with a quad core. Touch Wiz sucks. Running other launchers has really screwed up my voicemail. Rooting is a bit out of my league.
Sprint still doesn't have 4G in NE Ohio. Sprint 3G is SLOW. Any suggestions for the best network speed from a major U.S. carrier ?
NE Ohio here as well, Youngstown area.
I personally love my gs3, just like new technology and stepdaughters windows phone needs replaced, so she is getting the HTC Amaze and wife will rock the S3.
As far as provider, I like T-Mobile in big cities, but the Bonies it gets rough. I get 20mb down and 3 up on their HSPA +.
Verizon is the best for overall. But they are more expensive than anyone else, but great coverage and great speeds.
If not those two, then would make at&suck next in line.
Sprint is God awful round here.

I'm due a free upgrade, so am keeping my 16GB S3, purchasing a 64gb SDcard and using the S3 purely as an mp3 player. The Wolfson dac is more than excellent.
Will then keep the storage on the One free of music and ensure the 32GB version is more than sufficient for apps and videos/photo.

another sammy user here, moving from galaxy note to htc one! hell yeah.. i tried the device during a preview here and was absolutely blown away!! gonna be amazing!
Same. Waiting for black 64gb to replace my s3
Now if we all fall in love with HTC and sense and don't go back to Samsung in the near future, I can say that this is their fault for not developing a new design from sg3
Got so disappointed when I saw the unboxing and don't intend to buy a Samsung again.
Since I expect their sales to decrease a lot compared to sg3, they might come with a awesome phone next year. But by then it might be too late cuz everybody who tests sense after been using touchwiz, won't turn back again.

I am in a similar situation. I'm still using my Nexus 4 (great device) but looking to upgrade once it's nearing 2 years old. The price is a huge factor in what device I'll upgrade to. I'm sold if it's <£350 but my hopes aren't that high to be honest.

I have the M8 and I am going to get either the G3 or the OnePlus ONE. The M8 is a good phone but it hasn't really wowed me. I prefer the design of the original HTC One, I would rather have 32GB internal instead of 16GB+MicroSD, the camera isn't particularly good and the build quality has been a bit dodgy. It picks up small scratches and nicks really easily. Whilst HTC Sense is one of the nicer UI's the new LG Optimus UI is looks great based on the leaks. The only real positive I can say about the M8 was the battery life which was solid.
hoping for SD 805 (slim chance)
but minimum must be waterproof, have an SD card, good camera and a 3000mah battery....
due my upgrade today from my s3 but still not 100% on the LG g3 till the launch announcement.

My contract ended a couple of months ago and nearly got the m8 but heard to many good things about the g3. What do you reckon to your g2? My last few phones have been HTC so looking forward to trying something different.

I'll stick with LG from now just because of the battery on the G2. I've had a LOT of android devices in the past few years and never seen one like it that just keeps going and going. I double the screen on time i got out of my N4.

I have the M8 and I am going to get either the G3 or the OnePlus ONE. The M8 is a good phone but it hasn't really wowed me. I prefer the design of the original HTC One, I would rather have 32GB internal instead of 16GB+MicroSD, the camera isn't particularly good and the build quality has been a bit dodgy. It picks up small scratches and nicks really easily. Whilst HTC Sense is one of the nicer UI's the new LG Optimus UI is looks great based on the leaks. The only real positive I can say about the M8 was the battery life which was solid.

What do you reckon to the size of the m8? My biggest concern about the g3 is size at the mo. Will have to hold it in my hand and see. It looks about the same size as the m8 but wider, that's why I ask.

I just don't know what to do at the moment. Still have my Galaxy S3 and love it but been thinking of upgrading and passing it on to my wife.
Been looking at pre owned handsets on eBay like the HTC One M7 & LG G2, then started looking at the new HTC One M8 and now the LG G3 has caught my interest along with the OnePlus One. Only thing that's putting me off slightly is the SIZE!
Need to buy Sim free as don't want to be tied in to a contract. Will wait and see on expected price of the G3. Does look nice with the metal body.... :good:

The M8 size isn't too bad to be honest. So I assume the G3 will be fine for me.

Just seen a new pic comparing the two and it only looks a bit wider. Size should be ok for me as well i think. Only gotta wait till tomorrow Now for the full specs. It's been a long wait for me

I do love my M8 but my new-phone-a-holic tendencies might have me looking at this, especially if the £450 SIM-free price I've seen bandied about it true...either that or get a OnePlus One when they're more readily available (or the next Nexus, etc...)

that £450 price is most likely for a 2GB/16GB version. I had an M8 for a week and returned it because I couldn't get over how big the phone was for the screen size.. just too much wasted space and the stereo speakers aren't worth the sacrifice to me.
According to rumors, the next Nexus, which is going to be called Silver, is slated for February. And the OnePlus probably won't be readily available for another month or two outside of China. Hopefully the G3 has an availability soon.
If I was to go back to Android I would most likely pick the G3 at the moment, but I am a bit suspect about its size.
any word on uk release date yet?

wtf july..... due an upgrade now and my existing phone is playing up oh well might not make the G3 afterall!
Might buy one from superb brands on eBay when they list it. Had lots of Korean phones from them before and they are flawless. Even work on 4g if your on three or EE
