well um the nexus, the hd2 may have alot of different OS's to boot to, but that snapdragon processor is not going to perform well in the future
+1 to Nexus S!!! Hands down on this one

The HD2 is good as a plaything, if you want to try out different OS, but it doesn't match the function and usability of Nexus S.
The battery life is horrible, if you intend to use a HD2 at all then you'd better be resigned to spare or extended batteries. The processor isn't too bad, but still won't match the NS
All in all, it depends on your personal preference, whether you'd rather functionality or simply options.
I had a Hero and I bought a HD2 last summer and put android on it. The HD2 really lowered my respect for HTC. The devices screen was awful - it was really washed out compared to my Hero. Also, the digitizer was not accurate even after calibration within android. You could also see the digitizer touch sensors under the screen in normal daylight. The touch screen would also miss presses, like one press in ten wouldn't be registered by the device - extremely annoying when you are txting. Luckily I kept my Hero and got shut of the HD2, but it left me disappointed.
Anyway I saw the Nexus S deal over on hotukdeals and thought I'd give it a shot as £200 was the max I wanted to spend. Anyway I can safely say that I am a Sammy man from now on. The phone has really exceeded my expectations, especially running ICS.
It's a shame as I always had a soft spot for HTC with the Hero being my first smartphone. But it's sad to say that the nexus one/desire was probably the last great phone HTC have made for the Uk market.
Cheers.

Nexus, hands down!
p.s.
What answers did you expect posting this question in the Nexus forum?
I'm gonna buy a new phone just for internet,apps and normal stuff i'm not intrested in gaming.
I have to chose between this 2 devices,but they seems very similar >_<
I don't like sense but there are a lot of custom rom,i just want a stable ICS rom but the camera on the nexus S really sucks
what should I buy? i'm talking about the i9023 version
As you stated, Desire has better camera and video is 720. Even so, I think Nexus S takes decent photos.
One thing I would recommend, is to check around on both forums (mostly on the development and Q/A). This way you can get a bigger picture and a grasp of known issues on both devices.
Not sure about Desire's forum, but Nexus S is one of the best here on XDA. Development is awesome and you would have a lot of options with ICS ROMs which are more than stable.
Nexus S every time.

If you want an awesome dev community, than Nexus s.
if you want a better camera, than Desire
I would compare them side to side if possible and decide that way (i.e. not on specs), the screens and body construction are very different.
Desire HD has a better clscreen
Sent from my Sexy Sexy Nexus S
i have both phones and i occasionally switch back and forth. The desire hd is nice because it has solid construction, a bigger screen (if thats what you want), better camera, and the extra ram on it is really nice to have. I prefer the nexus s however because its lighter, smaller, and with custom roms its much snappier than the desire hd.
HTC sense is beautiful, but I think Nexus S is better!
Advice
I have personally used both devices and here is my guidance
Desire HD vs Nexus S:
1. D HD as very good screen and fits anyone's palm very well... whereas NS is almost same but a bit slim... but both tie up because the resolution is almost same
(i9023 is indian version which has Super LCD instead of AMOLED) AMOLED Nexus S has complete pitch black where there is black, but LCD has little bit grey
2. D HD has a good camera and so does NS... but if u install latest version of ICS on D HD, video camera doesn't work... check Desire HD sections if u need further info... whereas Nexus S rocks...
3. Development for Desire HD is low compared to Nexus S... Means if Android 5.0 releases, Nexus S and Desire HD both may have chance to get it, but if 6.0 releases, HD has very low chances, very very
4. Desire HD has good built quality, but it had more mass and weight than NS, so the chance of breaking when dropped is more in D HD, whereas NS may survive with opened back and scraches
Final advice >
Go for Desire HD if u are not a tech person and will stick to stock (manufacturer provided OS) and enjoy the features
Go for Nexus S if tech is ur best time pass, new roms, new stuff to show to friends everyday... and if 5.0 releases Nexus S will surely gets it... Not sure about Desire HD... Nexus S may even get 6.0 - If u r a noob ignore this and go with desire hd
NOTE: TRY FOR NEXUS S I9020 NOT I9023, LCD HAS ISSUES
@Above I have an i9023 and i have no screen issues.

Cut it short.
If its Sense, Stock, Beats, with a crazy oc of 1.7ghz... Go ahead with Desire HD. WHICH IS SO HARD TO ROOT WITH THIS DEVICE.
or
You can go with the best performance with best devs, themes by best themers and best tweaks made by brainmaster, GO FOR THE NEXUS!
The easier to root device, easier to flash, easier to get 4.0.4 IMM76I fast.
Must remember, Nexus S is one of the best devices and the first to have a NFC Chip.... Which you can scan smartags...

Hello all
Just wondering if anybody has switched their S3 for the Nexus 4? and what are your thoughts?
I am going to selling my S3 and obtaining a Nexus 4 simply because it looks amazing, and vanilla android is a bonus..
Your thoughts?
Try asking in the nexus 4 forum
Not the S3 but I did go from the S2 and yes it is an amazing device

There are already a handful of threads about the very same subject.
Thoughts on selling S3 for Nexus 4
For people considering a switch to nexus 4 you might wanna check this.
Nexus 4 vs Galaxy s3
Reason not to sell the S3 for the Nexus 4
Good point, can a mod please move this to the Nexus 4 forum?
I have both. The nexus feels and looks better. Other than build quality I can't see why I'd keep the GS3. My nexus has a slight rattle. So it will swapped for a replacement.
The GS3 doesn't feel as nice to hold. Even the GS2 beats it for feel. The os is better and I prefer the camera on the nexus. I think it is quicker too. It feels sharper.
It is all down to personal preference. The GS3 is still amazing, maybe its the fact the Nexus is new is the reason I prefer it. The expandable storage is nice and the removable battery, but I find its not as important as I thought it would be so I'm not missing it.
I'm gonna wait till next year's nexus. Between the SGS3 and the nexus 4 there isn't enough difference in hardware to justify a change.
You want to have android 5.0 when it comes out? Me too, and I will get it with the next nexus.
Similar screen, same battery, same camera, also quad core, etc. I'm very happy with the SGS3 right now.
16GB is definitely not enough for me.
The nexus 4 is indeed tempting, but the s3 now has some rather useful features in the latest 4.1.2 update. Multiwindow for example, is great for watching YouTube while browsing. Sure, vanilla android will probably get multiwindow eventually, but that wouldn't happen until Key lime pie, at least.
Believe it or not but I "require" some of these touchwiz features now, and these features are not in the market, they could be but don't nearly come to what the quality Samsung have.
Never thought I would say this but I love Touchwiz haha.

No surprises there, after years of using third party launchers and most recently Nova Prime, I'm now using TouchWiz for the first time on the S3 after owning all previous versions.
Well I got the Nexus tonight, and I absolutely love it, still got my S3 but she is being sold tomorrow, I don't think I've ever loved a device so much.
Nexus 4 looks boring and breakable... glad the 4.1.2 update gave our s3 new features

Colours on the S3 are overly saturated to me, I prefer the natural looking colours on the nexus.
Not even 1 year yet, my S3 good enough for this time, now target Nexus 7 tablet.

I'm not moving but I've ordered a N4 just to see what it's like I'll keep both, it will be interesting to how much they are different, both have good and bad points.
Sent from Galaxy S3 using xda premium
I don't need to read the Nexus 4 specs to know I'll never consider it, because Nexus = No SD slot and that's why I've crossed Nexus devices that haven't even been thought up yet off my list of possibilities.
Touch wiz features are amazing. I'd get a nexus as a second phone as I don't like pure android as much as jelly bean with touch wiz. Probably I'd use a lumia as a second device rather than a nexus though. The only bonus to a nexus is the extra smoothness gained through less bloat of unnecessary fat that I hope Samsung will trim away in the next few updates.

One man's food is another man's poison. And too many people comment merely based on hearsay. I have both and love them equally. I have been a CM user since CM 6 and N4 scores hands down there. Still, that may not be the clinching factor for you!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I'm personally selling my N4 and intend to get a GS3. I find that I'm consistently worried about how fragile the Nexus 4 is. Not to mention I would really like to get expandable storage back, 16GB just doesn't give me enough.

Hello,
I am thinking of buying a nexus 7, but I don't know if it worths the money.
I mean I love nexus family but there are many tablets going out nowadays and
I don't know which to peak.
I am seeking for advices whether is a good tablet or I should buy another tab.
Any suggestions apriciated .
Thanks in advance.
AW: [Q] Does it worth duying a Nexus 7
I would recommend to buy it, it's great
But if you can wait a few months, wait until the Google I/O, maybe they will publish an update of the nexus 7 :good:
Sent from my SK17i running Android 4.1.2
I would honestly recommended the nexus. Its by far the best 7 inch tablet out there and it can even easily compete with the 10 inch ones. Its perfectly suitable for my everyday needs and the quad core processor is blistering compared to these sluggish dual Core ones

Yes , I was thinking about waiting for the new nexus 7.
I also believe that the new Samsung note 8 will be a great competition
for the nexus.
I am worried about the problems that I have read over the forum
and about the 1gb ram I think it needs more.
join the club buddy
Honestly you can't go wrong buying a Nexus 7, specially the price.
what kind of feedback are you expecting from a forum dedicated to people who love their nexus 7? this is like going to a mazda dealership and asking them if it's worth buying a mazda.
Agree with the post above mine, but the reason I bought the 7 specifically is due to the price. For $250 there isn't a better device available.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
You get great specs at the best price point out there. What is it not to love, and what makes the decision so hard. For the 7 inch form factor, it has no rival nowadays. If you're looking for a bigger display, a better resolution go with the nexus 10, galaxy tab 2, galaxy note 10.1 etc.
No, I don't think you should dye the nexus, but in all honesty you should buy it

Just like the "Secret Garden" that had been growing without any care or management, locked behind a door.
Actually it was horrible looking until it was "opened up" and cleared and replanted. Put Android on that iPad
I have an ipad2, a TF700T and two Nexus 7s. The Nexus 7's are my favorites. Right size, right price, right speed. Tad heavy. So far not the smallest glitch in either one. One is a 32gig wi-fi, the other is a 32gig wi-fi/ATT.
Zero buyers remorse on this purchase.

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched
