G2 vs Nexus S? Makes G2 worthless?

Just got a new plan 2 phones me and my gf. Love the new phones and I love the xda app. Very useful and helpful. My brother is an iphone "fanboi" and he told me the nexus s is the better phone,
Without the keypad and memory xpansion is this true? I am in love with the new phone. Crisp fast.

id sooner go back to my original milestone before buying a samsung. im very disappointed with the choice of a rebranded sgs and samsung. the first nexus 1 is still better than this new, fake nexus

to my point of view is that the g2 is and will be the high end phone of tmobile for a long time, period. nexus s is not that OMG, plus the only really good thing is that comes with gingerbread... other than that... well... is a Samsung lol

Well the g3 will be better then the nexus s for sure! My point being that there will always be a better phone comming out soon. Get what you want! Me i love keyboards and the g2 is the best one out. Good luck.

People shouldn't worry about if or when gingerbread is coming out on the G2. We have a very strong dev. section and backing of the greatest coders period. If you don't believe me then look at the Mytouch4G developmental thread and you quickly take note that topics of the 1st page date back a week. The G2 is successor of the god father of android.
OP, do you want a keyboard, a T-Mobile protection plan, LED notifications, or 4G. Yes, the Nexus S has a 16gb storage capacity but that only tells me that google has finally fixed the problem of android only viewing 2gb of available internal memory. At least I hope so because if they didn't then there will be alot of Nexus S owners upset that their device only claims 1.2 gb of internal memory.
The only device I see ever knocking the G2's crown off is the G3.

it really seems like samsung is rebadging their galaxy s phone to every carrier... this one has gingerbread but it's only a short time until every other high end phone gets gingerbread too. Samsung is actually skipping 2.2 with this release though. good for them ~_~
EDIT: where the hell is all this g3 talk coming from? is this something I haven't seen yet or is it all hypothetical
P.s. op, the overclock on this phone is fcuking fantastic.

Hypothetical, just stating that the phone is really good and would probably only be succeeded by a G3.

I will keep this device until the g3 comes out for sure. This is a great device and samsung has a horrible build quality IMHO. The only thing Samsung has over the G2 is their 4" Super AMOLED screen. G2 has a respectable 3.7" Super TFT and is comparable, just smaller but not by much...

I'll admit, I got a little excited when I saw the new Nexus was coming out...then I saw it was S and not 2...and that it was made by Samsung...and then that it wasn't the true successor the Nexus 1.
It's like meeting a really hot woman...and finding out she's a dude...with a bigger penis that you...and he's a minor...and your best friend already dated him...and he has a better car than you...and your last gf left you for him/her.
Just utter disappointment and disgust all around. If Sammy was going to plaster a name like Nexus on a phone, they should have done a hell of a lot better than the Nexus S.
Until the G3 comes out (which will probably have a dual-core, more memory, a keyboard, ice cream, be 4.5" SMIAAMOLED (Super Massive Incredibly Awesome Amoled) and wouldn't use the Nexus S to eat it's morning cereal, then I'm sticking with my G2.
Plus, I finally own a phone all the best devs work on, and that makes me a happy guy.

The nexus S has the same proc as all the other sgs phones. Dont get me wrong, I like the screen and 2.3 but I could never switch. Lack of 4G, crappy design and no sd slot is a fail imo.

Hate to break it to you, but Vision doesn't have 4G either. It has only 3G, despite FALSE ADVERTISING. Not the only lie in the spec sheet... they also said it had 4GB eMMC, when the chip is permanently set to 2.1GB.

Who's getting the LG G2?

So it has arrived, with it's super thin bezel, 5.2inch True HD IPS LCD, Snapdragon 800 CPU, 3000mAh battery and new LG UI:
http://www.gsmarena.com/the_lg_g2_i..._a_52inch_screen_snapdragon_800-news-6536.php
With all the GS4 complaints I see around here, some seem fed up with it, so, who of you will be getting this new beast?
Me, I'm very happy with my GS4, yeah it's got its flaws but the pros far outweigh them, and I'm still loving my Octa beast!

And you think the LG G2 won't have any? I haven't seen an "issue free" phone launched in the past eighteen months by any manufacturer and that includes the Nexi. Some flaws/issues push individual's buttons more than others so going to another phone may be right for them. But they're just trading one set of issues/flaws/compromises for another.

Apparently that is Market Dependant, major letdown if the major markets don't get it. Don't know why they don't just release them all with SD slot.

Looks like a pretty cool phone! That button is an interesting idea. Don't know why we have to make it a pissing contest with the sgs4. They are just phones, not gods.

Nice internals ... to me the back button as i saw it seems atrocious ... the idea is really cool ... the implementation as it seems in the photo is bad for my taste ... i'll stick with gs4 anyway .. i find it pointless to replace phones that early anyway ...

LG G2 is an amazing phone but, I'm gonna wait for the note 3. To be honest I'm disappointed with the amoled screen on s4. My s2 screen was so much more brighter and vibrant.

im happy with the s4 and LG is known to have crap support and non-existant updates, but the G2 looks like a great phone phone hardware wise and the flip cover idea is what samsung should have done with the s-view cover
if im going to trade my samsung it will definetly be for a Sony

If every time a new high(ish)-end phone was released a thread seeking people's "feelings" toward it was started those threads would cannibalize the front page. In the past few weeks we've seen the XZ Ultra, One Mini, One Max, Moto X, Note 3, S-800 SGS4's, Sony Honami, and a S-800 One+ rumor in addition to the LG G2. I'd guess some percentage of people that own a SGS4 would be interested in some of those phones for various individual reasons. Finding those reasons out becomes more a market research study than a discussion about the specific device whose forum the question is posted on. That's why most mods aren't really keen on comparison threads; no matter what their title says.

This whole 'in the cloud' thing just doesn't work for me, not at all! That's why I like Samsung, they give us both plenty local and cloud storage, so we can choose. I hate what Google has done with the SD card treatment in Android, one of the main reasons why many of us chose Android was iOS limited us in storage, now Google are doing the same, just look at the Nexus 4, 16GB the highest you get, pretty pathetic really.

Keeping my s4. Lg twice. lg never again.
Crappy support, updates what is that. And whit one lg i had hardware issus so 3 times send it in to repair, the same lg did to 3 of my frinds.

Hell yeah! I love the red pictures in dark settings effect.

Also, even if it were still a 4MP camera, it could very will be a completely redesigned, or at least tweaked, sensor that would perform better than the current one.

Seems like you have been saying that for over a year now, done with HTC

I'm pretty excited and I'm okay with the camera.

Same boat here. I ditched HTC after the 3D and the One was their final chance for me. This camera sucks beyond comparison. Makes the phone only a fraction of what it should be (yes I've had my device replaced). Only nexus devices for me from here on out. I'll pass on HTC's crappy radios and cameras.

Every single person at HTC should be fired, these shakeups they've had obviously are not working. Other than the camera I love the HTC One, but using the Nexus 5 for the past week or so I haven't missed a thing about it. I will probably end up selling it and not be coming back to HTC unless they can get there act together.

Everyone is so friendly with each other .... so I thought I'd chime in with my own opinion. Name one device that any of you have used that the camera actually measured up to what they say it will....anyone? I especially love how the N5 fanboys in other posts had the balls to say the N5 had a better camera when it is exactly the same as the last one, and yes, I owned an N4. Don't get me wrong, I'm totally with everybody that these companies should stop crowing about how great their camera is when it ain't, but GET REAL. As I have said before somewhere around here, when it comes to new devices, COST IS A FACTOR. Soooooo, would you rather have the same camera or the same processor? Same cam or the same screen clarity? They know they have to cut costs somewhere, this is where it happens. GET USED TO IT. It ain't no greener in the other dude's yard. If the camera is that important, buy a Nokia. The camera is the only thing about that device that's worth a s***. My two cents, flame away....:angel:

The camera in my HTC Evo 4G LTE was amazing. I used it at work all the time, and my co-workers refused to believe that the pictures I emailed from job sites were taken with a phone. It made my brother-in-law complain about the pictures he got from this GS3, which looked crappy by comparison. That phone was largely the reason I "upgraded" to the One. There have been a few incidences where the low-light capabilities came in handy, but overall I've been fairly disappointed by the "ultra-pixel" results.

Yeah, I hear you. My ONE takes great pics in near-perfect conditions, crappy ones in bad. But, my experiences with the N4, LGOG, and the ONE, not to mention my wifes GS III or any of the iPhones shes had (4, 4s, and 5) were really no better. I have just been resigned that the cam is one place that smartphones will lag until costs come down. Or until I can afford a 1000 dollar device. Have you guys seen the Lenovo?

...and I'll bet the cam aint that great on that badboy either lol

To keep the same camera says that there would have to be more people that like the camera than not. Most people come to forums to complain but that's a small percent of the overall user base. I still have my evo4glte and the ones camera outperforms it. If they left the camera the exact same and said it was 8 or 12mp people would all of a sudden say it was better just because of the number.

At the very least it's worth waiting to see what will be available....unlike the PS4 vs Xbox One, which was crystal clear early on who the front runner was.
There are also rumors that it may have an octo core processor. Maybe outlandish but we shall see. Maybe they include a 20mp or 41mp camera like the lumia.

Truth. I can only assume people have been smoking some pretty potent weed lately because they complain about the cam sucking yet it's one of the better cams on Android devices. Whenever my brother needs a pic he uses my One instead of his EVO LTE. Go buy a Nokia or iPhone, maybe G4, but don't go whining about a Nexus being the solution because it isn't. ll this crying over an article that only had an early spec leak for a prototype, and it doesn't give any info besides MP? lol c'mon guys, get real.

They really do need to innovate in the camera department. The same bull camera will be a fail.
If ScamSung ever overhauls touchwiz & give it a premium design... It's all over

Sorry but no way they release a device next spring time and use the S800 then with same specs elsewhere as the One.... Nokia has the camera dept won in my opinion just sucks they are doing windows...

To those that are leaving..... That's nice, everyone will surely shed some tears for yall ......

From which phone you will jump to OnePlus One and why ?

Hi there guys,
as in title allready asked "From wich Phone you will jump to OnePlus One and why ?"
I will sell my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ I9506 with Snapdragon 800 cause there is no Development an no CM10/11 support for it!
As the nature of a technique freak is that mostly tune/modify and want it adjust more personal likes and featurs...
In my opinion a phone who dont got CM support is a dead phone cause mostly if there is no CM support there is also no development for this phone! Thats my experiance in last 4 years!
..... well on Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE+ I9506 i had nothing of this ... + Samsung pushed their phones with NSA stuff like KNOX... that was the headshot overall!!!
So i will never buy a Samsung phone that is KNOXED... !!! Bye Bye Samsung!! It was a good time the last 4 years but with KNOX no more!!!
And the 5,5" Display and the Frame of OnePlus One is okay for me cause i also had a Note 2 before the S4 so i know the advantages and disadvantages of such "big" phones
It like you look through a big window instead of a small keyhole.... well thats my sense of taste for such of sizes
At least it was short journey at the s4 phone and i gained to 2 new great xda friends there who is and was willing to do something there Absolon and DeHAWK.
Ill hope Absolon and DeHAWK jump on OnePlus One too!!

Wow, All of you sacrificing flagship devices... I'm coming from a midrange device, the HTC Desire X. There is not much developement there and just now it is beginning to get CM10 support which is still buggy, so I'm looking forward to get a phone with good specs, recent software and hopefully good developement. Also I'm looking forward to contribute to and support this forum as soon as I can get my hands on this phone!

I'm coming from a HTC One, don't get me wrong it's an incredible device but if I manage to sell it for ~£200 I'll definitely buy the ONE. I'm hoping for more battery life however if I do I'll miss the incredible speakers... (Stereo Downfacing?!)

The problem is the speakers are placed on the bottom of the phone. Also the only advantage I can see from them being stereo is being louder due to constructive interference as I can't see much of a 'stereo effect' coming from speakers with that little separation...

That would be awesome thanks, I'm not expecting them to be as good but I hope they are better than the speakers on something like the S5.

id have to say id be coming from a Galaxy S4. i miss CM and im srsly debating on whether to get a N5 or not or just wait for the oneplus. although their contest sounds interesting to smash a phone...might be a fun time to head out to the WMA.

Coming from the Nexus 5. Crazy good specs for a cheaper price. 64gb is only 350 heck yeah. OPPO quality is awesome too

coming from a galaxy s2, never give up my s2 because with cyanogen it still looks like a new phone and all the features like monitor mode and things i put in it.. but the oneplus one it's just "wow" that spec for that price and already with cyanogen..
i'm gonna buy one for me and also one for my mother

Just bought a HTC One M8, but I have a fully working S4 lying around, so I'll either smash it if I get picked for the contest, or just sell it and buy the OnePlus One. So then I can say I have 2 1s. One+one. Wut.

I just got a brand new Galaxy S5 two weeks ago and if I was given a ticket to purchase a One+ today, I would do it in a heartbeat and sell the Galaxy 5.
The Galaxy 5 is a great phone but all the Samsung "chrome" is driving me insane.. and I don't want to root it because of Knox.

Note 3 att If I got picked I'd smash this Knox loving locked bootloader non development having paper weight in a second...and if not I'll sell it and buy one asap

The problem is the speakers are placed on the bottom of the phone. Also the only advantage I can see from them being stereo is being louder due to constructive interference as I can't see much of a 'stereo effect' coming from speakers with that little separation...

You get used to a lower quality sound. I sold my HTC One 2 weeks ago to get a G2 and even though the G2 is louder the quality it's not nearly as good as the HTC one delivered. But as I said, you just get used to what you are currently using, don't let that stop your buying impulse .
I'm also thinking of selling my G2 and buying one even though I'm clearly not get it as cheap as others since I have to import it wheter from US or China so I'll be paying around 400-500USD wich I'm currently used to pay for my flagship phones here where I live ( that's considering that I import them not buying them from the mobile companies here wich totally ripe u off with prices as crazy as 1000USD )

From a Samsung Exhibit II. Yea, I'm quite due for an update!

Gonna jump from my HTC One (M7) it have served me well, but my body is now ready for a bigger screen, the OPO seems like a perfect fit, as I also love it coming with CM11S as the default rom.

What phone next???

Just wondering what people are considering for their next phone. I have used HTC since the first EVO and like the product, but it looks like there won't be a "11" coming out and the U ultra is only GSM. So what company phone is comparable with metal case? Might have to check what other phones the BadBoyz make roms for since I like their work. Hope posting here is ok t/u...

There will be a HTC flagship coming...
The other 2 guys in my group switched to ZTE Axon 7, but they'll be back on HTC, although I'm the only one still on Sprint.

I have had a chat or 2 and emailed but nothing positive was said. Only mentioned the bolt and I think the 10 is just as good if not better. Nothing new under the hood so no need to switch. Hope you are right since my 10 is coming up on a year soon and I am looking to upgrade... t/u

There definitely will be a new HTC flagship this year. HTC pushed back the successor of the 10 due to the timed exclusive that Samsung had with the new 835 SoC.

I love my HTC's. Only Android phone I've ever owned. But I gotta admit I'm thinking of going to something else for my next phone. The aftermarket support for HTC, specifically cases, and the ****ty cameras are starting to get to me.

I don't understand what people want out of cameras. Like i've never looked back at a picture on my htc and said this looks like a blurry mess. Are memories being ruined?
As far as switching, I know I left HTC and bought a samsung galaxy 3. I hated that phone. I ended up back with HTC. Made another mistake in buying a galaxy note 5 due to the size. In less than 8 months I was back with HTC when the HTC Ten was released. This is just my experience, but I always find myself coming back to HTC. I would be lying if I didn't say the future isn't looking all that great for the company though. I'm sad about what phone I will have to moved to once they get out of the market.

Agreed... HTC has always delivered high quality devices, I have never been disappointed with a HTC camera, people seem to expect too much.
I think the HTC 10 successor will be a winner!

I've always been the first to defend my HTC camera.... But then my girlfriend with her S7 Edge and a friend with his S7 send me pictures that are just noticeably better quality than mine it makes me wish for a better camera. I actually think the M8 camera was better than my 10's.
