Nexus S off topic

Hey there guys I think we should have our own off topic thread since other devices have them too and this can be a place where we can talk freely and not take this forum too seriously

Ohh, yeah. Not just on Nexus S, we do need to hang out with our buddies here.

Long live OT.

So any reasons why you guys are still with the Nexus S? Mine is because I don't have the cash to upgrade xP

I actually just got mine in August. I'd been wanting one, and for only seven dollars, I got a fresh one. Sold my Inspire to a work associate. Honestly, I like my Nexus more.

Hi guys, guess what? The only online store here in the Philippines that sell the Nexus 4 is selling it for a whopping US$580 after conversion. What a ripoff. Any of you guys not in the US and experiencing the same price discrimination?

MIUI for Nexus 4

Trying to convince my wife to trade her iPhone 3 to a Nexus 4 and thought the similar style may help but nothing to show for it..? Any other recommendations in MiUI absence?

Spring festival holidays last till 17th for some...
So at least until the end of this week if anything happens

MIUI on N4 would be very nice, but I think it will take long time. Maybe with Android 5.

Nexus 5 Isn't Worth It

Honestly I don't think the Nexus 5 is worth giving up the Nexus 4 just yet unless you are in dire need of the 32gb space which I guess most of you are. I think I'll hold on to my Nexus 4 for one more year and then make the leap to the Nexus 6 or whatever they'll call it.
I think Google will support the N4 for at least one more year and if not we always have these lovely devs.
What are y'all thoughts? PLEASE NO TROLLING OR DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS

I guess it depends on what features are most important to you but to me the next Nexus must blow this phone completely out of the water before I trade it in. I mean don't get me wrong but I would of definitely purchased the Nexus 5 if I didn't have the Nexus 4

Completely agree. As for the fragile thing you only hear from the complainers. You never hear from the happy people.
Look after your phone and you'll not have a problem. Never understood how phones end up in toilets is it really necessary.

You do have a point but keep in mind some users may not have the money or may not even know where to get a case for the N4. Idk. I'm glad I don't fall under the "Nexus 4 is fragile" category. I love the design though.

If I were to guess I'd say the price tag might start at around $380 for the 16gb maybe even more. To me it just isn't worth it if you have a Nexus 4 already.

Not worth it for me ether. I've never been one for upgrading every single year I don't see the point in paying that much to do the same thing but slightly quicker.
I tend to upgrade every 2-3 years
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

In my opinion, it will be the same price as the Nexus 4 was on release.. I don't think there is anything that looks like it is going to be more expensive than the components were when the Nexus4 came out. If it is cheap enough, I would be happy to upgrade once a year, sell the old phone and be only a little bit out of pocket

I think the key indicators of it being slightly more expensive than the N4 is the 4.9 inch screen, 1080p slightly larger battery and pressure sensor (whatever that is). I could be wrong but I'm willing to bet it will be slightly more.

To me there's not much of a major update to the successor (Nexus 5) for me to dish out more money.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

It depends on what you use your phone for on weather it will be an upgrade.
For instance I use my phone quite often for playing my old psx games so the extra storage is a godsend.
Also I prefer to play them using opengl graphics as they look so much better however currently opengl only runs single threaded so it can be quite laggy.
If the nexus 5 does include the rumoured 2.3ghz s800 then it would provide a massive improvement to the framerates and would be a great upgrade for me
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

My solution is really easy for this problems. Since Google doesn't sell devices here through the Play Store, I fall under the pricing of LG, which will be ridiculously high as always, so even if I wanted to purchase this phone, I couldn't for an affordable price. :laugh:
I'm glad they are keeping a leash on my finances.

I love my Nexus 4 and I complain about its fragility all the time. It's the first phone I've owned that I have had to put a bumper or a case on. I don't know any other phone that can literally slide off a table with a slight slope.
