Hi all,
I recently broke my dell streak, and looking for a new phone now...
I can't make my mind betwenn optimus 2x, atrix 4g and nexus s, thought will get your input on this.
I am ok with rooting and loading custom rom... may be not changing the screen of the mobile that's how I broke the streak
How is the gingerbread stock rom for Atrix 4g.. I couldn't get any review about that.. are they buggy ?
How about the camera, does the atrix 4g stack upto lg optimus camers?
Thanks in advance for your help

Great links ;-)
As regards to what phone, my choice is tha Atrix, had the Nexus s running ICS but it is slow compared to the Atrix also had a streak and you may find coming down in size 5-4 inch screen may take getting used to as did with my friend ;-)

Thanks msd24200 & jonsmith709
I am more inclined towards Atrix... you are right 5inch to 4 inch is going to take a while to settle down. Hopefully the resolution helps?

Personally I'll probably not ever buy another motorola phone as samsung and htc devices have a much larger development following. I had been a big htc fan for years but the atrix looked so appealing with its specs. When the BL finally got unlocked that made it alot better, don't get me wrong. I have liked my atrix!

Thanks msd24200.
I am going to give Atrix a try, however I would need to buy the European model as the US one doesn't work with my network. Wondering if that will be ok for the custom rom? Will I be able to load all custom rom for the European model too?

A lot of the Blur ROMs are AT&T-based, so you'd need to use the RAM fix or Faux's kernel to get full compatibility on an international model.

LG Optimus Nexus

So for a while now I've been waiting for a new nexus to come out because my contract is up in December. However its looking more and more that the rumors are true that it will be made by LG and be based off of their flagship optimus g. The specs for the optimus g are beasty but I'm not sure LG can make a high quality phone. How do you guys feel about an lg nexus and do you think you'll buy one?

I will definitely buy it if its an lg nexus! They always make great hardware but their software is atrocious, but being a nexus that point is moot

Allegedly, there's gonna be a whole line of 5 nexuses (nexii?), with one by samsung, a minor update to the gnex (1.5 ghz a9 dual core). Another would be the lg optimus g nexus (or nexus g) which as you mentioned would be quad core s4 768p, 2gb ram. Another would be the nexus 5 by htc with 1080p, quad core s4, 2gb ram. The new thing about these is that they will have a customization center where you will have the choice of different themes, some of them being manufacturer themes. So an HTC nexus could run sense.

Does anyone know if the actual optimus g came out yet? I would like to know if it lives up to its high specs or is just a bust like the g2x.

Also, does anyone think Sprint will have first crack at any of these Nexii if/when they come out? I want to get a new phone around november, not next year -__-

Not sure. It looks like sprint and google are getting closer. Although, it looks like tmo is definitely getting it soon since they cancelled the one x + which means there's something better coming (since its probably not bug related because its being released on other carriers worldwide). That doesn't mean sprint can't be soon though. It does surprise me that lg made their optimus g so close too the nexus release. Idk if the nexii would have a coordinated launch either where each are released together worldwide. They may be staggered over the next few months or so.

The 13mp camera didn't get good reviews.. Nokia Lumia 920, IPhone 5 take the crown

I saw a link to an article on Facebook and they compared the camera on the iPhone 5 to the one on the 4s and a high end camera. Apparently, the iPhone 5 camera doesn't play well with direct light sources

out in korea. but it's a mixed reception. a very good phone by lg's standard but the software's still a bit of a downside.
hardware benchmarking beats all the android competition out so far.
but must add, american models always have some kinda variance to the original so they might change a few things. seeing that an lg nexus is coming out at around the same time, seems quite likely too.

[Q] Nexus 4 VS Optimus G?

I was reading about specifications in Nexus 4 and Optimus G, and they are almost twins, wich one is better?
There's a Oxygen like rom for Optimus G?
Don't know if there's a place for questions like this, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong section...

They are the same on the inside for the most part but the G has more storage I believe. The software is very different. You can't flash software between them but you can flash the G and turn it into an 8gb nexus 4.

Um well the nexus is directly from Google so you can expect updates first so there is one difference.

Actually I own both devices and Optimus G has almost perfect function with nexus 4 conversion. Well since Optimus G also has some blooming development Optimus G is not a bad choice.
One thing I have to say is the screen is so much better. It really is. I have no idea why but if you just compare those two, it is so much better
I guess there is a reason why Optimus G is slightly more expensive than Nexus 4

In my opinion Nexus is more interesting device as updates are directle from google (already was said), looks nice (glass) and just simple as the phone must be

What would stop you getting an LG G2?

Now that they dropped the price to
99 bucks everywhere, I'm interested to know if anyone would consider getting one? I'm still within my 14 day grace period and I'm seriously considering it.
I'm really not totally happy with the motox camera if I'm honest and there's a lot to like about the LG.

Be leery of that rear button if you carry it in your pocket. I have already received a few calls regarding it stopping working.
Imprinted directly to your mind via a Moto X

That's the thing that worries me, although spec wise it trumps a lot of phones.
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

too big of a screen. moto x is the sweet spot for me.

I returned G2 and got Moto X because:
Knock knock doesn't always work.
Camera at night sucks if the object moves at all.
Screen is a little too sensitive at times.
Lg UI is so heavy that it makes that beast of a processor cry at times, pretty laggy IMHO.
I held Moto X and it hit all the sweet spots from size to speed and active display and other features are reliable. It's hard to beat Motorola quality. Camera is pretty decent since upgrade. Overall, moto x is a better package if I may say.

Too big. Same with the Nexus

I hear you guys. I do really like the form factor of the motox. I guess I need to give it some time and love. I think I may have been spoiled with the camera on my SGS3 previously. My photos really don't seem as good. It's a shame.

The chances of getting KitKat. Moto X and G2 are the same price with contract now. The chances of you getting kitkat on the G2 by this year and on Verizon is very slim. Unlike the moto X where leaked builds are already coming in.

There was a rumor in the G2 section that stated 4.4 wouldn't be released till mid January since LG is supposedly going to redo its whole UI. Add a month to that for Verizon and yeah...
Just a rumor but something to think about. I'm aiming to get the Moto X in a 32GB flavor. Leaning towards the dev edition but it's hard passing up an opportunity to be able to use motomaker on vzw.

I just bought an lg g2 for sprint yesterday just have to wait until it gets here, trying to sell my moto x as we speak. Moto x is not a bad phone at all it really grew on me but the phone is just too small for me.

The only thing that would stop me from buying a G2 is that LG makes it. Had and Optimus G and Nexus 4, wasn't that impressed.

Software, size, stupid buttons, and glossy back.

This. I dropped my OG once in an otter box and now its useless. They seem nice at first but they're build quality is really cheap and the features are useless... I rooted and put on cm 10.2 as soon as I got it

Moto G vs any other phone

Hey guys,
The point of this thread is to try and keep the forum clean. Post here any comparisons with any other phone u have or would like to discuss...
I haven't received !y !oto g yet but as soon as I get it I will compare it against the nexus 4 and atrix HD.
What do u guys think... How does it compare to those two phones?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Dunno if changing from a Nexus 4 can really be considered a real update... There are lots of comparisons on YouTube, setting them more or less on par.
My verdict: if you need a new phone (and your current phone is older than one year) for < 350 Bucks get a Moto G...
Otherwise get a Nexus 5...
If you want to spend money on a status symbol: get an IPhone or a Sony Xperia Z1

I know I'm not updating just more of a side step ... But I like supporting manufacturers that offer the best bang for the buck and I needed the extra $$$, so I decided to go g

Except the rear camera, Moto G is better than XL in everything(Correct me if I'm wrong).
