There are already a ton of resources on this and posts in these very forums BUT in short, yes. Now I'd suggest doing a search to find out why

Opinions are like... well you know what they are like.
With that said, I know I personally haven't used my phone except for calling when I have my Nexus 7 around.
Definitely recommend it.

Let everybody open a new thread now asking if people are getting every phone that comes out every two weeks. And wrong place to post questions. As you said it yourself the op has a question which means this thread should be moved to q&a.

There is not another thread on this forum for note 2 . I was just wondering who want to switch fron T999 to Note .
Peace
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I know the Windows phones are the big question in a lot of Android users eyes these days but I have to admit the Note 2 is a demon and though it will be like holding a salami sandwich to the side of my head I can't ignore the specs which is why I got the GS3 in the first place. I will be watching but I think it's still too early to tell if I'll be racing to the store since the last purchase nearly made my car the bedroom.
I am going for the Smart TV next though (Samsung rocks).

Just ignore people like that man they have nothing better to do than cry about it not being in the Q&A and really if that is their biggest thing to worry about it should make you feel better for having real issues not trolling forums whining.
back on topic, i am debating getting that or the one x+ if it comes out around the same line cant decide yet note 2 has a good lead though huge screen is right up my ally but pockets are getting too full to fast

I'd love it but I couldn't bring myself to rock it as a phone. Just too big.

The note 2 is a downgrade from the gs3 in terms of hardware. No way I'd downgrade. I had an international note and it wasn't in my top 5 best phones. I've had every high end phone too. I won't be getting rid of my s3 for one unless it has a huge dev community which I don't foresee.

That's interesting. It's about time the exynos supported lte and hspa+ 42. I bet that thing is gonna be a battery hog even with that huge battery. I'll be interested to see how this phone lands. If it's like the s3 and all the versions are similar then dev should be great. We will see.

Anyone from ATT s3?

Hey guys, I have an att galaxy s3. I'm using an aokp ROM on it, and I really like it. I'd like a phone with a slightly smaller screen though, and for the price of the nexus 4 I think I need to get one. Is anybody else coming from an att s3 and what are some of your reasons?

You do know the screen size difference is 0.1"? I guess that qualifies as slightly smaller

thank youu

Yes .1 smaller and on screen keys make it smaller too.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

Going from a S3 to a Nexus 4? Same size phone, IPS screen. Don't know why you would bother unless it's going to be a beater.

From the looks of it the phone looks much more elegant than the s3. I'm tired of having my phone creak all the time. And official Google sounds really nice especially after using my nexus 7. Aokp Roms on s3 are nice but mine all have issues
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I'm coming from a T-Mobile S3. I don't think I will notice that much of a difference in screen size. The AOSP/AOKP roms were always a little buggy and had bad battery life on my S3 compared to the touchwiz roms. And since I hate TW and love vanilla Android, the Nexus 4 made a lot of sense.

Exactly. I have bad battery life as well with aokp. Only way to fix it is by flashing kernels but I have to do that every update and its just getting way too crazy to have aokp + more than 2hr screen on time. And with aokp my phone is always so hot. Nexus 4 sounds pretty good.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I am. My reasons why?
-Pure Google
-Quad-Core
-No more buggy ROMS
-Latest and greatest Updates
-More elegant in my taste
-More dev support
-More customization (easier bootloader to unlock, and as I said before, the dev support will be ahead of the game)
-WORLD PHONE. Going to be graduating this year.. If I travel for college or etc, my phone is always reliable.

I'm coming from a Sprint S3. Ideally, I think I'd like to try another S3 of the GSM variant. But I will probably be getting the new Nexus.

I'm seriously debating it myself. I love my nexus 7...my first Nexus device. I love my S3...just not sure what the real benefits would be. I love AOKP but putting that on the nexus, wouldnt that be defeating the purpose?

Basically, I am in the exact same situation as you.

I'm coming from my unlocked ATT s3 ass well. Reason? I love aosp.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with the s3...just because of the non removable battery. Maybe I wouldn't need to switch batteries but my battery life blows on my S3.

Same. Battery sucks on my S3. But I think that is due to bad LTE signal in my area.

Its so tempting. I love my Nexus 7...although that's different. I don't know. I will have to seriously sleep on this...for a few days. I love my S3...so if its not broke why fix it?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

Couldn't you guys just sell your S3 for roughly the same price as a Nexus 4? Local listings where I'm at seem to be in the $300 range. Of course you'd lose out on LTE, but hey.

Definitely could. Just not sure I want to yet.

Battery case

Since the battery on the N4 is non removable, do you think there will be one of those extended battery/charge cases made for the phone like the ones the iPhone has on the market? That'd be cool.

Not impossible. Keep an eye on this company.. http://www.mophie.com/

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.

Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

Good luck with HTC. I just sold my HTC OneX+ after 4 months only. Just can't stand anything except stock Android.

Same here, N4 is perfect for my needs.
