Getting Nexus 4

Hi,
Im currently using note 2. And I'm getting tired of it I think I'm getting nexus 4 instead
Will the nexus 4 receive android 5 ?
I heard some rumours about Google making new flagship phone for Android 5.0
Thanks in advance

Nexus devices will always receive the newest android version for a while. So expect the nexus 4 to get upcoming versions. As for the x phone, its up to you. I just got my nexus last Friday and very happy with it

Is your galaxy note 2 rooted ?... I mean if you want a Nexus we can trade x) lol

I believe the GNote 2 is also getting 5.0 but it's going to be much later than Nexus devices. Lol
What is it that you're tired of ? Is it the huge screen size of the GNote ? The specs on the GNote are pretty great imo.

Don't do it. I love the N4 but overall the Note 2 is the better phone Root it and debloat it and its fast as lightning Just my 2 cents

sorry wrong topic

Maybe in benchmark tests but not in real life when you debloated the phone. Better battery life. More storage and S pen off course.

+1 and you have the choice of touch wiz or aosp on the N4 it's just aosp... Sometimes I get bored and wish I could get a skin like sense or touch wiz they've both really improved throughout these years and they're optimizations help the android experience!
I recommend flashing anything by ptmr3! He's super legit at making twiz fast! I had his rom for my s2 with Fauxs kernel and it was flying!

About the nexus 4?

Would it be smarter for me to order the nexus 4 or just get the s4? Can any of you give me some of your input on the nexus 4 since you've had yours? Are you pleased with it or do you sometimes regret your decision on getting the nexus 4? One more thing, right now I have the s3 and is no 4g really that much of a dealbreker?

Do a search as this question has been asked quite a few times....but in a nutshell if you prefer vanilla over bloatware, great dev support and the latest updates as soon they are released then get a nexus....can't really speak on the s4. Hope it helps..

Dude the S4 is so crippled and packed with 7GB of OS and mostly bloatware that you have too root it and strip down all the not needed apps and widgets. I had all the Galaxy devices but i`am gona skip the S4. The Nexus 4 is realy a breath of fresh air and 50% cheaper. I had the S3 too but wouldnt trade my N4 for one.

Thanks for the response. If I was to get the 8 gb nexus 4,how much of that is formatted before I get it. How about the 16 gb?

I have the 16Gb for a few dollars more, 8 GB is a bit to small for me personaly. About 3 GB is for the OS so 12,8 GB remains for the user. On the 8GB one you have 4,8 GB left.

Don't order yet.....wait until I/o on may 15 , you may see new phone or nexus 4 upgrade..

I have an s3 currently and am buying a nexus 4 tomorrow. All the bloat on the s3 is leading me to buy a stock Android experience. Nexus 4 ftw.

Upgrading to Nexus 4

Hey guys, I'm thinking about buying a new phone. What do you think, at this time is it worth buying a nexus 4 or better wait till the next nexus phone and get that one?
Thanks in advance.

I just upgrade phone from Galaxy S3. I can say , N4 is a lot better. Go ahead and upgrade, you wont regret it.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The Nexus 4 is fast and easy to root. It also has many kernel and ROM versions customized by the developers. Unless you have to have a Galaxy S4 or HTC One, the Nexus is the phone to have.

100% that my next phone is gonna be a nexus. But the question is which nexus I should buy; nexus 4 or the next nexus.

If you have a phone at the moment and you're not in a hurry then wait for the next nexus. Keep in mind the next nexus should come by the end of the year, and it will be sold out at first and there will be problems with availability. Most probably you won't get your hands on one before january.
If you need a phone now, then get the nexus4

I know, I still have 4 gigs left even with 3gigs of music and 2 2gigs data games on it.
But 2 gigs on a 16 doesn't feel good to me, it would be better if we can just relax about storage without limiting some apps and games and pulling NAND backups every now and then. 32 gigs would've been perfect...

[Q] Should I sell my Nexus 4?

I've been seeing all these rumours about the Motorola X. It looks amazing, and a lot of websites are saying it will undercut the Nexus 4 in price. Should I sell my nexus 4 before it comes out and buy the X when it does come out? Really not sure what to do

It doesn't look like a serious upgrade from a nexus 4. The differences aren't huge so it would probably be best to wait. Also it's not a nexus device so you lose a lot of the good modding that you get on the 4 and probably has a locked bootloader

Yup, but noted who knows what the price might be on that one. Only the Nexus 4 was a cheap nexus phone. The previous ones were all full price phones. So we have to see what direction Google wants to head in

Probably. Sounds like you just want something new. The nexus 4 is on par with the top tier phones out right now (HTC One, GS4) as far as performance goes. My only gripe with the N4 is the camera, but its not enough for me to ditch it yet. We just use my wife's GS3 or our DSLR for that.
The X is nice, but I don't see its release causing the value of the N4 to drop to much. Only another Nexus device will affect its value.

isnt the motorola x the 3 new droids that were announced? or are they different?

Yes sell it! If you want to downgrade. I don't think Google will sell the Nexus 5 for that much higher than the Nexus 4. Maybe 30 to 60 dollars more. I mean look at the Nexus 7, that thing upgraded like hell and the price only went up 30 dollars.

So I'm wrong and you're ignorant, Google hasn't always been using this, just the new devices
see
Nexus 10=10"
Nexus 4=4"
Nexus 7=7"
Nexus 5=5"
now the Nexus 7 has a new version, called Nexus 7 II, not Nexus 8 (following your thought), and so will Nexus 10 (Nexus 10 II), if Nexus 4 gets a new version too, it probably will be called Nexus 4 II, and not Nexus 5, and this discussion is pointless since Nexus 5 is just a rumor someone random started

Don't sell your Nexus 4 now. Nobody has even seen the specs for the x-phone yet and according to the rumors the specs of the X-phone will probably be very similar to Nexus 4.
Wait for the Nexus 5.

But the current nexus 4 is closer to 5 inches. So why didn't they call it the nexus 5? Well I'll tell you b/c the nexus 4 is the 4th generation of the nexus phone.
The naming for the tablets is correct and if they do decide to make a 5" nexus phone next its likely they call it the nexus 5. Google pretty much backed themselves in to a corner with the phone naming. Seeing as they will not be able to call the 7th gen nexus phone the nexus 7.
So I agree with you and the naming, just not the nexus 4 naming.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Yeah I've read its not gonna be crazy just a phone that they want to make sure its gonna work perfrectly. The specs did sound similar to the n4. But again that's just rumors.
There's no reason to sell the phone for one that its not even a year old and it will still get official updates for like another 3 years

I'm stuck between:
Note 3 (of course)
Sony Xperia Z1
Nexus 5 (when officially released to know the specs, but having it always get the latest updates does sound attractive. )
The HTC One Max is also a big phone that looks good, but we'll see. I've had the Note, Note 2 and SGS2 and my partner has the SGS3, and we live together. Samsung makes good phones and makes them to last (mine is 1 year old with 0 issues). But I might want to try something a little different, hence the change in device. 5 inch displays with on screen controls make the screen size even smaller. So I'm thinking of crossing out the Z1 and N5, but I don't know. They're VERY good phones and the camera on the Z1 is kick butt!

Note 5. Maybe then Samsung has 4K screens and a good developed flexible screen.

Probably a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 or something innovative.

I'll see the official specs of the nexus 5, especially the battery and the price.
It was announced to be 3000 mA and now the last news says 2400 mA which is clearely not enough.
I think I can sell my Note II and buy and Nexus 5 without loosing any money (or not that much)
Or else I'll keep my Note for one more year, I'm happy with it.

Note 3, rest doesnt come closer to it. Will buy in a month once prices cool down a bit.
