Hello all,
I'm planning to get a new device.
Is nexus 4 good on hardware given that it's made by lg?
Should I buy htc one x+ or galaxy s3 instead?
What are your recommendations?
I can afford upto 30k or 550_600$.
HTC One costs around 43k,if you can afford that much then I would really recommend it.Nexus 4 would be a good choice too.
Oops I meant to say htc one x+

It's a nice one but I think n4 is better,it doesn't have much memory though.

I had the same thing in mind.
But it has a better interface, processor and beats audio.
I don't care for most if these but has lg made a good hardware for the nexus 4???
Btw nexus 4 arriving here in a week
Agreed,sense will always have a better ui than anything in the world
Don't care about the beats audio,have seen ppl using other mods despite having beats audio.
Lg is a good company,we don't see it as a cell phone manufacturer,do we?
And you mean,you've ordered n4?

What you mean by hardware?
Build quality?
Yes
Then Slymobi must have something to say about it.Nexus 4 to me looks good,has a much better build quality than any of the Samsung devices.
I'd go for the N4. Purely because your getting a pure google handset, with new updates guaranteed (unlike HTC. Who sometimes cancel or don't even bother to update devices), you'll also get something that's easy to BL unlock, root and experiment with. And being a nexus device, I'm sure there would be a lot try out!

The build quality is just great! Just the speakers and the camera are not as good as the HTC one's. I had both phones One and Nexus and this glass look looks just so much better than the "plastic" from the HTC One X. And it's also easier to root than the HTC phone. It was a pain in the ass to root the One X and to flash ROMs on it. The Nexus is definitly the better choice also in relation to the money,
I'd get the nexus 4. I already have a nexus 4 and it is brilliant. It feels more premium than the galaxy s3 and the htc one x+. Plus it is easier to root and will have excellent developer support. You also get the newest updates from Google themselves.
I have the one x, great device, doesnt feel "cheap" at all, n4, while having more "premium" feeling also can break more easy so keep that in mind.
Also, hox is easy to root, dont know why is everyone saying its hard lol.

Ive seen it. Frankly Id prefer android!
The hardware of the N4 is amazing for the price. Fastest phone I've ever used for sure. For value/speed, nothing comes close.
The glass back is fragile so just make sure you purchase the right protection.
Jellybean 4.2 is so good you could use it without the need for rooting

Never happened to me...strange. I think the 4.2.2 update solved this issiue for the most people. I think that happens to maybe 1 of 1000 N4 devices. And if yours is affected you can send it back and order a new N4.
You can still choose the HOX its also a nice device and it has almost no bugs but its got that crappy Tegra processor which seems to be not very familiar with the android system itself and some Gameloft games.

I think i'm not the only one that hates senseUI so my following questions are:
1. what developers would put the effort to max this phone to it's best?
2. Will we have cyanogen?
3. will we have screen calibration?(i really god used with true color rather than "blue pushed" colors).
Please if any developer would love to put a bit of comfort to our hearts please post here that you would do the best for this phone
So looking forward for it!
Edit: posible to swich roms from G2 to z and other way? that would be nice,theoretically it's very posible same hardware!
looks like the G2 will have stock froyo(not sure) but i really hope we can cyanogen mod on this thing! still don't think desire z is going to replace n1 on the priority list.

You are quite right,but alao g2 might take the place of n1,and g2=desire z,it'q all a matter of rooting i think.
Damn i will really miss the led flash from n1) really really usefull for me.
LED flash? G2 also has a flash with its camera, if thats what you mean..
Also, to your 3rd point, if you're talking about the blue tinge issues and such, these screens won't have those issues as they're not AMOLED's, but SLCD's.
Aaaa sry i mean trackball led flash.

dang. i was hoping for super amoled display. well atleast with slcd we won't be getting anymore burnin. hopefully.
Unfortunately for now, Only Samsung has the rights to use S-AMOLED. Its their tech anyways. But I believe from next year fall onwards they will start selling S-AMOLED screens to other manufacturer's.
For me S-amoled is not that interesting anymore,really curios about this S-lcd and it's multitouch capabiliti really hope is better than n1 or desire.

Cyanogen tweeted earlier this month saying that he's getting a G2, so I think it's safe to say that the G2/Desire Z will have lots of developer/hacker support. Honestly, that's part of the reason I'm so excited about the G2. I'll likely be keeping it for the full 2 year contract, so having a phone that's so supported by XDA is a huge advantage.

Totally agreed, I stuck with the G1 till now which definetly would not have been possible without everyone at XDA. You think that maybe Cyanogen might make a Non-Sense version and a Sense version of the ROM?

I've been done something useful on Motorola Milestone and I've ever been in HTC WiMo devices modding etc.
Selling Milestone, HTC Desire Z already ordered and waiting for its arrival. I'm in.
First of all, we have to see if it's unlocked, then we can play with the system: putting Sense on CyanogenMod maybe is possible, we'll see. I'll do better than I can.
-kholk.
I'm a little curious which one would work on at&t 3g. I prefer no sense and think cyanogen will support that before sense.

from my Nexus S! hahaha i feel like the n1 is a much more solid phone. even if the processor is worse, it still feels just as snappy on cm7. the only thing that drags is that there is no true multitouch... other than that, loving trackball notifications and the solid form factor!
anyone else "upgrade" to the n1?

Yep.. from the atrix
Well I'm using the atrix as my phone but I got a new SD card today and decided to throw the old one (the original that came with this phone) in the old n1 and decided to update this thing a few dozen new nightlies.
Wow its really weird feeling the old crappy haptic touch. This thing still holds its own tho!

I owned an ATT N1, sold it for $580 on eBay and bought a Streak, which I sold for NS to ditch ATT and then just repurchased the T-Mo N1 since they are so cheap now. N1 and NS are both nice devices for different reasons. I have CM7 on both and plan to jump between each as I feel like it. NS screen is much better to look at and touch, but there is just something about the N1 that makes me love it. Form factor and trackball alerts lead the way. I plan on keeping both and continuing to buy whatever is released under the Nexus line in the future.

the wonk has been fixed on nightly 74 and onwards. so its dead and gone! hooray.
Hmm, I was talking to a very friend (not a very nice one) and he was telling me I made a "stupid" decision upgrading from iPhone 2g to Nexus One. He said that with that kind of money, I should have simply bought a galaxy s or a g2.
This begs the question: Is the N1 slow compared to these newer phones? I mean, really, how does it compare? Can I expect to continue receive updates for the N1?

Welcome to a phone that actually works and gets updated. There are threads on how to get AT&T 4G cheap if and when you want to switch from that other carrier.
most perfect phone so far, sure it is...
ok guys, I think that we need such a thread cause I've noticed that everybody is posting negative threads on this device like it has only drops and mistakes.
I was a user of sgs (awesome phone)for a year, I've flashed it like hell to finally stick with cm7 which is awesome. However, even with the latest nightlies (which is a kick ass), I cant say that sgs+cm7 match the:
speed
reliability
stability
clarity (sound+image) + I miss voodoo here though
of my new sgs 2
I dont feel the same crave to root+flash the device .......yet cause it damn fasttttt by default, in fact i might root it for the advantages of having su control on it.
IMHO it is unnecessary upgrade but this device worths every single penny you pay for it
Now, the next problem is to get the games to run on the SGS2

Same here. My optimus 2x was really buggy. First one was DOA and the second one was laggy, with horrible phone call quality, backlight bleeding and useless GPS.

Soon it WILL, as of now it's just in development
anyhow after owning an ios device, Android could alot use more good games.
The SGS2 is awesome and all and Touchwiz 4 is finally something which can be bragged about but this whole Tegra thing and incompatibilities annoys me about android
I know coming from ios, I went from a 3gs to an ip4, all the games still worked only better graphics, but with android, you have completely different compatibility within the operation system due to the different graphics chips, this really does disjoint android gaming.
Developers shy away from android, because of this fragmentation, but then again with the new ip5 coming out older iphones will be left behind floundering in the realms of incompatibility. There really should not be so many, tegra, xperia play etc, why not simply have automatic recognition of what chip you are using and adjust graphics to suit.

They might, or they might not.
If you look at the One X +, the only feature present on that device over the One X is 64gb of ram.
Lets say that they Make a One + - what could they do? Bump it to a Snapdragon 800? Sure that would be impressive, however the jump from 600 to 800 is about a 35% boost, whereas from S4pro to 600 its a 40% bump.
So, is that extra 35% really worth it, when you can wait another few months and get their latest flagship which will probably be a 70% increase over 600?
As far as I'm concerned, rather then waiting for "+" versions, it is wiser to purchase initial releases.

I think you have a typo there 64gb RAM then you got a deal! Also 800 snapdragon not only boosts the performance by 40% it also has a better GPU, better architecture, better power management, implemented ad on WIFI so it's now a/ac/ad/b/g/n and has LTE technology which has a maximum of 150mbit speed.
HTC always tends to refresh their flagships at around October-November.
Desire -> Desire HD
Sensation - Sensation.. XE? XL? I got em confused...
One X -> One X+
I think it will be the same this year.
That said, for me, buying the One is an easy decision. As usual, there are a few things I dislike that might or might not be fixed for the refresh, but isn't that always the case? I definitely don't imagine anything on the horizon beating it in terms of industrial design and sheer engineering chops.
Is it worth it? Yeah why not, just get another phone when a newer one comes out. Who wouldn't have $700 to buy a phone every month?

You never told us what your using currently. I am using a one xl and I'm really on the fence.
I wish my one x had better louder speakers and I am impressed with the Ones camera.
I love the design and the extra capacity. (16gb is not enough for me). Will definitely opt for the 64gb variant if I do get one.
With that said, I'm not going to jump the gun right away.
Must be patient... Must resist the temptation to get it day 1 of release.

This question allways comes up when a new phone comes out. But only you can answer that. The great thing about Android is the wide varieties in phones, this is great because we all prefer something else.
I got a one S and will upgrade as soon as I can. Allways been a fan of the aluminium body's, love the oneS except it's screen. So this is the perfect phone for me.
There will always come a faster and better phone. But I'm sure this device is quite future proof. Alot More so than the Sony Z. The only thing that can kick the One of this throne now is the GS4, but I really really doubt it.
I'm convinced that this is THE phone of 2013

I'll be buying a One. Just waiting until April for my contract to end with Vodafone and see if Three will offer the "One" with a 12month contract option. If not i'll just buy the phone and get a sim only, will still be cheaper in the long run than a 24month contract. That way I wont be stuck with the same contract for 2 years..
If u were one of those people that was torn between the HTC one and the galaxy s4 .. well.. laggy, gimmicky, and boring design all seem to be mentioned in all the top website reviews on the final build s4. Stuff.tv and pocketnow are amoung a few sites rating the HTC one higher than the s4

After having a galaxy s (still going) and seeing Samsung's lack of software support, on that alone I'd choose the HTC ONE. I'd be happy with the hardware upgrade of the S4, but the ONE seems like its of better build quality.
Not only that, but the whole PR debacle where Samsung was revealed to have been spreading bad user reviews of the HTC One also casts a shadow of doubt on anybody ridiculously badmouthing the One. Good job Samsung!
Hopefully the fact that almost all of the reviews mention the HTC One in comparison will give it the media exposure it is lacking due to minimal advertising.
Wow is that confirmed to be true? But yeah its some media exposure for HTC is always good.

Don't make me laugh, have you even used a HTC phone? HTC drop support after like 3 months.

In my past experiences, Samsung was not much better. I hated dealing with their customer service as well, was a pain in the rear.

yeah right
I suppose I could just be having a bad experience with Samsung. In a way I'm glad, otherwise I wouldn't have tried so many great ROMs. I still think it should have been upgraded past gingerbread though.
just picked up my One a couple days ago. Wow. This thing is so buttery smooth it's like silk! I'm totally digging this masterpiece.

i never had a phone from them, but i had one of their high end $ 3000 led tv got it replaced twice by amazon (thanks amazon) while samsung customer service a-hole told me (after 50+ calls over a month and 2 tv sets) they will not honor the warranty due me abusing the tv by keeping it on for more than 6 hours because the tv was reseting every 15-30 min (really i bought an lg led never had problem with and will keep on for a day sometime w/o problem), so no thanks if samsung will make the last anything on the planet i will not buy it.

If u were one of those people that was torn between the HTC one and the galaxy s4 .. well.. laggy, gimmicky, and boring design all seem to be mentioned in all the top website reviews on the final build s4. Stuff.tv and pocketnow are amoung a few sites rating the HTC one higher than the s4

Sony , Nokia , ASUS, LG's problems disappeared in a second. hTC sacrifices itself to save the world.
I was one of the people who was torn between the S4 and HTC One i kept changing me mind right up to the last minute. I was coming from an S2 which i never had any problems with infact its still a great phone over 2 years old (the misses uses it now and loves it) I'm glad i went with the One though it has that WOW factor that i dont think the S4 has. i'm more than happy with my decision the One is an amazing piece of kit
I take it all but the most demented Sammy trolls are now far too busy over on the S4 forums to hang around our street corner anymore.
