[Q] Nexus 4 or Galaxy Nexus?

What to buy?
I was thinking 4 or Galaxy Nexus Nexus phones are best suited for me (at least) at a very good price.
Now I'm undecided.
Nexus 4 is $ 299 and you can expect, because I buy the phone at the end.
But I saw that it would be better than Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus Super AMOLED with a 5 megapixel camera.
Now I'm undecided .. I do not know which screen is better, but I can certainly guide!
Thanks in advance

The screen on the Nexus 4 is better overall. The only thing the Galaxy Nexus screen is better in is black levels.
The Nexus 4's screen is has better white levels, sharpness, outdoor performance, colour accuracy among other things.

If you don't need/want LTE, then Nexus 4 has better hardware overall. Only thing Galaxy Nexus has over the Nexus 4 is the LTE. That's it.

The Galaxy Nexus has some advantages:
- removeable battery
- plastic back (more robust than glass)
- will get cheaper when N4 is out
- sophisticated hardware (N4 could have some problems for early adopers)
- lighter/ smaller
But nevertheless, I will switch from a GN to a N4. Main reason is the (hopefully) better camera.

And you can buy a 32Gb Galaxy Nexus...

I think it won't get that much cheaper. Have a look at the Nexus S, since 1 year the price stucks around 300 bucks here it'll be the same
Have a look at this video for the "better" camera. The quality seems good but the sound is like from the HTC Sensation a bit horrible

But the GN was much more expensive at release. And the price of the NS increased because of the release of ICS.
With the extemely low price of the N4 the prices of all smartphones will decrease IMO.
I only take pictures with my phone, so the sound irrelevant for me ..

I've had the galaxy nexus if the cameras enough for you get that.design wise.software speed..battery was OK I had an extended though. Its quality.
The trouble is the nexus 4 to buy is a superb deal

From what the reviewers have shown, there is nothing the Galaxy Nexus could best it on. Screen-wise, AMOLED sucks. Camera-wise, the Nexus 4 may not be amazing, but the Galaxy Nexus was terrible on anything but the sunniest of days. Design-wise, the Nexus 4 is objectively a more refined version of the Galaxy Nexus's design, so that wins out as well. And then of course, all the internals give it a thorough beating to its knees. There isn't much else to compare, really, since they both run the same OS.

Op.. if you decide to go with a GNex, PM me!

Wrong its from samsung and will remain expensive.
A nexus s or the galaxy s1 is still 150 to 200euro second hand... wtf....
So galaxy nexus will be like 400 euro, even if the nexus 4 will be 300.... samsung has always expensive phones and lg cheap ones...

Is Nexus 4 good?

Considering its not from Samsung, and LG isn't the best brand. Is it worth an upgrade from galaxy nexus to nexus 4? I purchased the gnex for 500 $ (dumb me) and nexus 4 is now selling for 299 $ only? WTF? What is the downside of it?

No microsd slot. Other than that it looks great.

If you want a faster CPU, better/bigger screen, more RAM, etc., then it is definitely worth an upgrade. Downside of it, is that it isn't available yet.

Considering it's not from Samsung you will not have squeaky plastic or inverted back menu buttons just to make it different, and no closed source software

if it was from samsung i wouldn't buy it, cause they would make another crappy plastic phone. I had S3, S2 i know their build quality
LG is good at hardware nobody seems to complain about hardware but yeah software :silly: but in nexus we will get it from google itself :laugh:
so it win win in hardware and software both side

Haha okay sorry if you were referring to me!
Got it!
Cheers!

Also, it looks more elegant than the Galaxy Nexus.
Heck, it looks so good I would lick it.

Really, the only downside of the Nexus 4 is the limited storage options.
Besides, Google Music solves the low storage option for music, and you can always use something like Dropbox for extra bits and pieces if need be, leaving the onboard storage for videos and whatnot. So for most users, it should be plenty.
Must say I can't wait to get mine. For the first time I have the option of rooting the stock ROM, job done! That said, will probably end up going with a custom ROM in order to have custom buttons and slightly improved performance and battery life.

I wasn't bashing on this phone directly, I was saying this from a general point of view. I like Nexus devices. They have great specs and I consider them as near-perfect devices. I'm just saying we shouldn't be limited storage-wise anymore.

People seem to always mistake, build quality and feel of the device. Samsung phones look and feel plasticy, but their build quality is very good, the Galaxy S2 is propably one of the most durable smartphones, after 1,5 years of usage without a case and countless drops, it's still n pretty good condition, unlike for example the HTC phones of some of my friends wich look like s hit (volume button missing etc.)
The reason that im still glad the samsung isn't the manufacturer of the new nexus is the fact that I'm sick of power hungry, oversaturated, screenburning Amoled.

What are you talking about?
The only true weaknesses of this phone are the lack of LTE and the low storage options. But if you are on t-mobile and use more cloud based storage or just not too much of your internal memory then it's a great phone.
The Nexus 4 has one of the best processors on the market (Qualcomm SnapDragon S4 Pro), 2 GB of ram (galaxy nexus has 1GB) and an improved camera over the galaxy nexus. The internal battery is 2100 mAh which is the same size as the extended battery for the galaxy nexus or 300 mAh more than the 1800 mAh standard battery of the galaxy nexus. Also the battery on the Nexus 4 is "serviceable" because you can replace it by removing the screws on the bottom of the phone. It's obviously not something you can do on the fly, but it is something you can do yourself. The battery life on this phone in theory should be fantastic compared to the galaxy nexus because not only does it have a larger battery and a more efficient (and faster) CPU, but it doesn't have LTE which means that is one less radio to be killing the battery. I've heard some people say that the battery life has been poor but I read a review just yesterday and the reviewer said you might be able to make it 2 days with minimal use. Also keep in mind that this is on "beta" software, It is not the final version of Android 4.2 which will be released on the phone starting Tuesday and I've heard they plan to send an OTA to the existing phones on Sunday.
I plan on buying the phone. probably not on Tuesday, with some restraint I will make it a few months before I buy it and look at real user reviews.

Had the phone 20 minutes and am in love! Such a beautiful device and seems loads snappier than my now retired One X. Any tips or hints for a noob?

I found the screen on my One XL to be significantly better than the N4, also the overall experience with CM on the OXL is better than the N4, I sold my N4 after two days and am happily back to using the OXL.

Surprisingly I have to agree. The camera (specifically) on the nexus 4 vs. CM 10 one x (with jb camera) is comparable. While there is a slight nod given to the nexus 4 in terms of low light performance, the nod is really negligible and I'd be willing to bet if I was using stock HOX camera, then HOX camera would undoubtedly be the winner in terms of color reproduction.
The screen on max brightness is bright on the nexus 4, but the clarity, detail, and viewing angles on the HOX do surpass the Nexus 4 easily. I was the guy that was thinking the Nexus 4 would be my next, but after using it, I am left feeling a bit cold and unimpressed. Android 4.2 is a huge leap in terms of functionality of the Android ecosystem, but talking about current hardware, the Nexus 4 doesn't offer too much to compare. Which is a shame, offering a quad core processor, 2 gig of RAM, and everything in terms of operation is negligible to current Android hardware.
Makes one think...

i have to agree, the screen on the one x is better. If htc one x supported t-mobile, i would probably sell nexus 4, htc one x is pretty fast as it is, but nexus 4 is faster. (switching from straight talk at&t to tmobile)

i agree on the screen, it is washed out and not as nice to look at as the htc, the viewing angles are not nearly as good. Colors are not bright and do not pop out. The camera is lackluster, i compared both side by side. everything else is for the most part better. If only i can find a buyer for my 16 gig white htc one x..

Maybe I will switch back when the N4 is in stock, readily available and CM10(.1) is officially available and stable, but for now I don't have a need for double the RAM and CPU especially at a $200 premium.

loads better phone than the one x

Wait for N5 or get S4

I love my N4, but the S4 definitely shows up with some tempting features. Should I wait for the N5?

You need to make that decision for yourself. I personally am never leaving nexus because I can't stand the crap HTC and at&t put me through, and updates from carriers are extremely slow and unlocking your boot loader voids your warranty, etc. I'm done with it. I can tolerate no LTE and slightly older hardware if it means being the top dog and getting catered to by Google.
In the end, only you can make the choice. There are pros and cons for each device

A typical S3, S4 shopper doesn't know what and Android is, they just buy what they are told to be the other phone that is not an Iphone, the words "operation system" makes them bertstare at you, do you want to be associated with them?

At this point in the game, no matter how powerful phones will get, the N4's hardware will be good for years, we're overkilling our needs currently in my opinion.
It may be behind in synthetic benchmarks and will get left in the dust from now on but seriously, a quad core krait, Adreno 320, and 2GB of RAM? It'll be fine for a while.
Remember, most apps and even probably most games only use/need a basic dual core and a gig of RAM for functioning.

Imo, if you're into AMOLED, then go for the S4. I love Nexus devices, I love theming for them and what not. S3 didn't really wowed me much but the S4 managed to do so, I used it yesterday and I fell for it! Mainly because I'm very much into AMOLED and I love that crisp 1080p display.

If you asked us whether to jump off the bridge or not and we told you yes do it, would have you done it?

My thoughts exactly. I'll be sticking with this n4 until the dubbed "nexus 5" is released. The. Current n4 to the new n4 is essentially an HTC one X to an HTC One X+.
Its not a major upgrade, but its there for people that need to upgrade.. Or just want to

Saw a review of the n4 vs the s4. Obviously didn't pass the s4 in processing power . but they pointed out that most apps don't even take advantage of the speed that the n4 possess. Hardware wasn't that much different. Yes the s4 will have a few magical features like eye scrolling, whoop de do! But the plastic cheap body is still there.

I've owned 3 devices with SAMOLED and all of them have had issues. My SGS died and went green, My SGS II would go orange/Yellow at medium brightness and the GNexus had a slight blue tint. Switched to the N4 and love the screen.
My N4 will be with me for a long time yet. Looks amazing up against more plasticy phones

look at the HTC one before looking at the S4, im getting the One myself tonight.

I'm going to have to agree with most replies posted already. I'm sticking with the Nexus 4 for another year, then maybe getting a Nexus 6 (or whatever that next Nexus device will be called). The phone is so insanely cheap, yet packs the latest and greatest hardware. It's perfect. Yeah, the newer phones coming out like the S4 will have slightly better hardware, but it's been 6 months since the Nexus 4 got released. That happens with every cell phone in the history of cell phones. Heck, the Nexus 5 will probably have better hardware than the S4 when it finally comes out.
I guess what I'm trying to say OP, is make that decision for yourself. All phones have their pros and cons. If I were in your shoes, I would try to wait for the N5, but I can see the appeal of getting the S4. It's a darn-good phone, and you don't have to wait for it to be released. Actually, I was in your shoes a few weeks ago. I ended up getting the Nexus 4 because it's still a solid phone, and I don't have to wait for the Nexus 5 to come out, plus I can get it off contract for close to the price I'd have to pay for the S4 on-contract. There are multiple things you have to consider when making that decision. Some things that helped me make my decision and will help you makes yours is some comparison articles. Google something like "Nexus 4 vs Galaxy S4". The article will be comparing the Nexus 4 instead of the Nexus 5, but it will still be helpful because they usually touch on things like pure Android vs company-customized Android and the pros and cons of each, among other important things.
Actually, depending on how time-sensitive your decision is, I would wait until Google's I/O event to see if they will be revealing a newer version of the N4, or maybe teasing the specs of the N5. That should help your decision.

For me software plays a big part and with a nexus device we will see 4.3 soon, and key lime pie after that. The sgs4 and others will still be on older software.
Sure the Samsung has a better camera, expendable storage, removable battery if those things are important too you then purchase the Samsung. For me 16gb is enough for my needs, the battery lasts me a day without having to recharge, and the camera takes ok shots I can live with that until the next nexus.
Decide what you need out of a phone, only you can decide that, handle the Samsung and see how you feel with it.

Thinking about these 3 phones

Hi, I was thinking about either getting these phones for T-Mobile:
LG Optimus G
Nexus 4
HTC One X
Which one do you guys think is the best one for the price? I don't really care about features, just the specs (But they're pretty much the same)
Because I play a lot of high-end games and stuff. yea.
Thanks in advance

Personally I'd go with the Nexus 4.
In terms of Specs the Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G are literally the same device, I believe the LG Optimus G has a higher resolution camera but the Nexus 4 has a higher quality camera.
The One X might be slightly better for gaming because it has a tegra 3 but from my experience it makes the general android experience feel sluggish outside of gaming.
The Nexus 4's gpu keeps up well enough (assuming it doesn't beat it, I haven't checked benchmarks purely speaking from experience), and you get a vastly superior android experience.
On top of that there's the "feature" that the Nexus 4 will always have the latest version of android, but if you prefer Sense over AOSP that might be another reason to get the One X.

There is a 8GB and a 16 GB version and no micro SD slot. It's a toss up, it depends what you want. Sometimes you can't have everything, you have sacrifice something. The micro SD slot which the Nexus 4 doesn't have does not bug me. 16 GB is enough for me. I don't listen to music on my phone nor do I store videos such as movies and stuff, got a mp3 player for that. I'd rather get the fast updates from Google and stock Android.
It all depends on you OP. What DO YOU want?

Nexus 4, plain and simple. ASOP is the best android, no question. The nexus 4 will get all the latest versions of android faster then any other phone on earth. Its the best phone if you want the best android experience. Don't worry about storage either, 16GB is actually a very decent amount.

My one x got stolen recently, and it forced me to get a new phone. I bought a nexus 4, and I need to say that nexus 4 is a God in comparision with one x much smoother, runs cooler and has much better battery life. Don't think about one x, if you've got a chance, get a nexus straight away

When i was first looking at the N4 as an option i was worried about not having a SD slot, but have now been using my N4 for almost a month now and I still have 9GB free on the phone
BTW the nexus 4 that T-mobile is 16GB which is decent imo and my only other worry was not having the LTE on it but the HSPA+ is pretty damn good here where i live i see 7mb-15mb down which im also happy with , this phone is by far the best phone i have had in the last 5 years .

Correct me if I'm wrong but getting a HTC One X is rather difficult, isn't it? It stayed very few months on the market and got superseded by the One X+. The one X+ has a bigger battery and comes with 64Gig onboard. I saw very good deals for that bad boy recently. If you don't mind messing your hands with Custom ROMs, the One X+ and AOSP Android should be a sweet combination.
However, stock-by-stock, the N4 would be the winner. I think the only points where the One X+ would win over the N4 are onboard memory and that curved Gorilla screen. I just love the way the One X series look

The HTC One X lags while playing Need For Speed Most Wanted, Moderm Combat 4 and some games
