I'm going to be upgrading from my galaxy s2 skyrocket to a nexus 4 and I'm wondering if anyone agrees it's a good idea to wait until after Google io incase a 32 GB version is released. do you think this will happen?I know it didn't with the galaxy nexus but it did with the nexus 7. I'd love to get a nexus now but I'll be mad at myself if there's a new one in a month

No, I don't think it will happen. Google wants you to use the cloud and will be sticking with a maximum 16gb for their phones.
I think 16GB is just enough if you dont put TV shows in HD on it.

is this a fact? i have never seen google state anything like that. it seems to me they're trying to hold the costs down for a phone that absolutely must make a dent in the unlocked/no-carrier market. other nexus devices have 32gb options btw, so why not.

This is what I was going to say. Just wish this wasn't true because for a power user, 16gb is not enough especially with all my nandroids and rom's and other ROM related files. =(
Having a nandroid in the cloud is just not practical especially if your phone cannot boot into Android OS. Having the radio with browser in the recovery would be awesome!

I feel the same way! This is why I don't support cloud and probably will never support cloud. I live in NYC and a lot of the time I'm underground or in an area where WiFi is not an option and signal strength is trash...ie: on the train, at work ect.
I have to make do with my 16gb, and I'm used to having 34gb and even then it wasn't enough. I've adapted and even though its not as bad as some make it seem...I still wish I had expandable storage, I would've gladly paid more for my n4.

I agree. I believe their goal was to break the market, which the N4 did...
Here's why they won't........I don't anticipate a 32gb model as the nexus 4 since Google I/O will be out with news about what's next.
History shows that in the fall, usually October, Google will announce the next Nexus model. Also the much anticipated and talked about rumor Motorola will launch the X phone is a good reason to believe that Google will not release the Nexus 4 with 32gbs.
Let's also not forget how LG dropped the ball and did not submit the Nexus 4 for use with Lte, causing Google to release an update to disable the the Lte from being used unless you ate on a old radio and 4.1.1 ROM.
With that said..... I would bet money on Google not launching a 32GB model of the Nexus 4.

Hey guys!I'm planning on getting the Samsung Galaxy S soon.But now I'm actually stuck between this and the Nexus One.I'm aware that the processor aka the 'Hummingbird 1Ghz processor' is faster than the Snapdragon processor on the Nexus One.I'm not really going for the looks but I've realised that the SGS has a lagging problem and I believe that rooting and using the one click lag fix can fix that but I'm not planning to root my phone.Is there any other way I can fix that without rooting?Because I'm going for the SGS mostly because of the large internal memory that can keep lots of apps!While the Nexus one only has 190mb available.So please help me with this!And lastly,will it receive Android 2.3?Cos I heard that Samsung isn't very frequent in their updates.
Go for Nexus S and forget about Nexus One, the Nexus one is old news= old phone. Galaxy S is a good choose but if i where u I pick the Nexus S and you get the android rom updates allways first.
In the area I'm leaving in,Nexus S issue not available yet. So I'm stuck between this 2 choices...
would also go nexus s, but you will be limited to 8 Gbyte, no sdcardslot

We were worried about Froyo, but now we have it. It does take time, but eventually you will get it. If you want it immediately, I'd like to ask you why, since you aren't even interested in rooting it? The Nexus One is a developer-friendly phone, while the Samsung Galaxy S was designed entirely with the consumer in mind. Am sure, with the success of the SGS so far, Samsung will not let us down.
What's more? Gorilla Glass [Even Samsung's Nexus S does not have it]!
Go the SGS I'm about to flash Darkys rom it's going to be sooooo quick.
Thanks for the brilliant answer!Looks like I'm gonna go with the Samsung Galaxy S!

The Nexus One came out in January, and this phone in August and has way better technology in ever respect. You won't regret getting the SGS....unless you flash 2.2 onto it lol...
Well maybe some other guys will want to advice me not to buy this phone after their own experience with it.But so far,all the replies look pretty satisfied with SGS

very nice comparison engine, even when i picked the Nexus S it shy in comparison to SGS
the only thing that is NOT accurate for SGS is the part that claims
microSD card (32GB included, max 32GB)
it's 16 GB or 8 GB, i've never seen a 32GB version any where
i would most definitely buy one if it existed, maybe as a Special Edition, or something other funky release, for collectors only.
unfortunately most of those Collector edition versions are only made for 900/1900/2100 market
there is a Acer liquid something model which is a special release I really realy liked, but .... no north america bands (NAM)

Its good to see a Nexus 10" line official. The specs are absolutely amazing and while I love my Xoom, I'll admit, I'm tempted.
While the specs are nice, I'm not tempted one bit. No expandable memory, no buy.
I'll be buying 1 for myself! It's beautiful!

Honestly I don't see why anyone would be excited about this if they already have a Android tablet? The only thing that really looks good is the screen. If you watched the video there is lag when the pages are turned in the magazine app. I could understand if this was done on older hardware but when brand new just released has lag then there is a problem. I think the nexus 7 is a better device.
This is just my opinion though. I have a 4g xoom that I use every day for work and play that does excellent. The only device that looks good enough to replace it is the galaxy note 10.1 if it ever comes to Verizon.

And between the G1 and the Nexus One, you had the original T-Mobile MyTouch 3G and the original Motorola Droid which were the lead "Google Experience" devices for Android 1.6 and 2.0 respectively.

Why not? Even LG did a Nexus device, I still believe Google will make a new Motorola Nexus, because they bought the whole Motorola Mobility, they can easily control how the device will be done. And Xoom 2 was built before Motorola acquisition.

Why not what?
The point I was making was that the Xoom's successor did not need to be a Motorola device. The Nexus 10 is the first 10" GED/Nexus device since the Xoom and that's why it is, IMO, the first successor to the Xoom. The Xoom 2 may have shared the name but that's about it. Again, the point I'm making is that we finally have a new 10" Google device. OEM is irrelevant. What matters is that it is a Google/Nexus device.
I remain under the belief that "Google Experience Device" and "Nexus" are NOT the same. The Xoom is a GED - vanilla Android and a Honeycomb demonstration piece, but Motorola included 2 silly pieces of non-removable bloat ware in the form of games. Nexus products do not allow this. This further explains why the JB updates to the Xoom have been watered down, to make obvious that this is not a Nexus device. The absence of the "X" boot animation makes a clear statement to this fact.

Not getting the s4, maybe xperia z if Sony gets their sh*t together and releases c6606 soon. I don't use my phone much for gaming anymore, especially larger games like NFS. That's what the N10 is for.
I won't get a S4 unless I win one
I'll probably get one for my girl in a couple months when people who can't pay their bill start selling them on craigslist. I'm ok with my nexus for now, at least till the next one comes out

Absolutely no chance. 16GB is more than enough for me, Touchwiz is hideous, Exynos devices are notoriously difficult to port AOSP roms to and the device itself will probably be hideous too. I'd much rather have my N4
only is samsung blows the htc one away, i loved the s2 but loathe the build quality of the s3
nex4 is fine, until nexus 5 is out. then i'll switch. its not about specs. i want a free and unregulated android, google is the only one who provides that. i love software and seeing it progress, i couldn't cope with being locked out of everything that concerns android, for a couple of gb. i can't even imagine how a samsung customer watches the I/O, probably they don't, but if they do - how do they manage seeing all the nice things knowing full well its not for them. don't they feel strange when 2 hours after its over leaks rain over xda and everyone's running the latest and greatest, and they just have to wait until next fall?
If it's not vanilla Android then it doesn't get any thought from me

And no I will not switch either. I was close to buying a s3, but the software wasn't up to par with what I am used to. My last device was the Sensation and I took off Sense 3.0 as fast as I could for JB lol. Like moles said, the customizations in just plain Android is great IMO, no need to embellish it with multiple windows or smartscrolling
It will sell on name alone regardless looking and feeling like any other TW device
I don't need a still plastic-y, spec bumped Galaxy S3. After owning the Nexus 4, Samsung is child's play. I've owned and used over a dozen android phones since '08 and the Nexus 4 is the best I've owned/used.
Still, I can't wait to at least play with the Galaxy S4 even though it will feel like an S2 and S3.

Not a chance. I have a N10 for things like that, didnt like the build of my Galaxy Nexus (Samsung), dont want a bigger screen and think the skins are horrid.
I love my N4 and won't want a GS4...am I curious about it and its hardware? Sure I am a tech nut and am always curious about new stuff...just like when the new iPhones come out I sit and watch the apple videos and such to learn about it...does it mean I want either? Hell no I don't like touch wiz, or the fact that Samsung still uses hard ware buttons and I don't like iOS or the fact that it hasn't changed in 4 or 5 years other than little things or craptastic things like siri...I love owning nexus devices for one simple reason...the software...besides that this phone is fast as heck on the processor side of things and it just so happens to be one hell of a good looking phone with the added bonus of being unlocked and not bound to some 2 year agreement makes it all the more sweeter with out shelling out $600+ like I would if I wanted the newest galaxy s iteration.

Lol how u know i am not? And even the samsung galaxy line phones have always had top notch dev support. First i thought 16gb would be enough, then i started feeling it is very limiting not to have the opten of an external sd card (very practical) also the camera quality of the n4 is not one of the best in the market. Anyways yes (the cheap quality of the galaxy+amoled screen in the sun sucks) will see what the s4 has to offer tmrw.

dev support doesnt mean crap when they have no sources. you get a lot of devs supporting one another by lending a shoulder to cry on or distributing kleenex. i am a follower of teamhacksungs blogs and dev g+ accounts, i like to read what they do. if you have nerves you best go there and take a good look what happenes when samsung releases the next big closed thing coz these guys are basically ****ed, they can sit down now for months and hack stupid things that should be open in the firstplace.
I just don't think an upgrade is necessary. 720p to 1080p is not that big of a difference compared to the jump from QHD or WVGA to 720p, and the S4 Pro is handling everything with ease. When the processor starts falling behind that I can notice it in daily use, or one of the technologies advances in a major way (battery, maybe?), I don't think I will be selling my nexus for another phone.

Hi there!
Looking to come back from iOS to Android without having to pay through the roof, I narrowed my selection down to Samsung Galaxy S3 16 GB and LG Nexus 4 16 GB. I can have either of these devices for about €350, which I'm prepared to pay for a good new mid-range phone.
Please advise whether Nexus 4 is still a good deal, or should I go for the previous Samsung's flagship?
Thanks in advance!

S3 if your a fan of touchwiz and or smoked screen, N⁴ if your a fan of vanilla android and IPS. Also neither of them phones are considered mid range by any means of the phrase, spec for spec they are comparable with nearly any phone out with maybe the exception not having 1080p screen of that matters. The n4 doesn't have expandable memory, nor remove able battery, again maybe they matter to, maybe not. I've had both, and I kept my N4.

Nice choice i sold my Galaxy s3 to get a Nexus 4 and it was a very smart move knowing i have a faster phone since i had the i747 s3 and wont have to wait on updates. Best thing is i only added $50 to what i sold my gs3 for to get a 16gb nexus 4. :good:
Nexus 4, get a bumper along with it.
Also a screen protector for the front and back.
Same here. I did not regret my decision.

i had the international Quad S3 and went to n4 my S3 was on cyanogen so was essentially a stock device anyway; BUT! lack of official updates and the lack of proper video drivers meant the performance was not as smooth as i would've liked, so i sold it for more than i had originally paid (i got it cost through connections ) and ended up with some profit and a nexus 4.
dont regret it at all.
when people want a cheap phone i always reccomend the N4 its cheap and still relatively high spec. its basically a high end phone for a low-mid price (at least here in Australia)

Hey guys,
glad to see that we finally got a g pad forum but since the upcomming nexus 8 will most likely be based on this pad it just makes sense. Yes I am just blabbering around but it makes sense if you google a little.
Gpad = LG-V500, there is a bluetooth certification from a LG-V510 device
Then we also got this:
http://www.mylgphones.com/lg-v510-is-this-google-nexus-8-tablet.html
Also, why is there not more marketing for this tablet???? Why do the stores in the US dont sell a lot of the g pads?
and then the nexus 10 2 is to be released in a week and it is said there might be another device:
http://tablet-news.com/2013/11/14/google-nexus-10-2-release-date-apparently-confirmed/
If there wont be a nexus 8 before christmas i will definetly get this beauty
Cheersguys
lets hope some devs find this tablet interesting!

I agree. The Google stuff looks great --- but no microsd, no sale. There are other fine choices out there.
Personally I don't think there will be a nexus 8. Maybe there originally was going to be and this is the original design for it.
The lg-510 is more than likely just this g pad but with a sim card/LTE ?
I'm personally done with nexus devices anyway. They're always buggy and now with the N5, Google is fragmenting the Nexus line with the exclusive features like the transparency and GEL.
I'd rather stick with CM.

The LG V510 is not the LTE version of the G Pad; that has another name. Source.
I didn't want to start a new thread but the sound from the speakers is poor especially at low level.... Sort of muffled. Is there any app or setting I can change. The rest of it is meh\ok ish, I mean software has some nice points though would flash CM in an instant.

Hey guys,
glad to see that we finally got a g pad forum but since the upcomming nexus 8 will most likely be based on this pad it just makes sense. Yes I am just blabbering around but it makes sense if you google a little.
Gpad = LG-V500, there is a bluetooth certification from a LG-V510 device
Then we also got this:

Also, why is there not more marketing for this tablet???? Why do the stores in the US dont sell a lot of the g pads?
and then the nexus 10 2 is to be released in a week and it is said there might be another device:

If there wont be a nexus 8 before christmas i will definetly get this beauty
Cheersguys
lets hope some devs find this tablet interesting!

I would love for the V510 to be a Nexus 8, but with all of the contradictory rumors floating around, there's no way to tell what might show up. The latest rumor is that the V510 is the Nexus 10 (2013). Of course, it's possible that none of this is true.

Sadly, I must agree to this. Looks to be the N10

I'm all about nexus phones but a tablet without SD card is another deal. I have a Nexus 7 2013 but it's definitely missing some screen estate and SD card slot...

Was going to get that but it seems that tablet is plagued with issues (was really making me hesitant) especially touch screen issues and battery life after a few months. Google needs to dump Asus.
It will be a while since I'm seeing my iPhone 5 but I will definitely just add on the extra bucks and get this instead.
