Errrmm..... Its kind of biased asking whether you should buy a Nexus or another phone on a nexus forum isnt it? But even so, the Nexus does win without question, the Galaxy Nexus had horrible specs that were a year old when it first came out, yet it was still considered high end and sold at the same price as phones like the S3 and i phone for a majority of its life span as stock Anrdroid is generally faster as its got less bloatware, it receives updates upto a year before other OEM's and its just looked BAD-ASS! Now consider that this time round, the Nexus 4 has the best specs on the market right now running stock Android. This thing is going to fly with everything you throw at it. HTC Sense is still unbelievably jerky and inconsistent even on a Quad-core phone, look at the original One X (which isnt exactly low on specs). Thats not even taking into account the pricing. I would have bought a Nexus 4 if it were sold at the same price as the One X+, I honestly dont think that there has been a more value for money phone than this in the last 5 years. The specs destroy all the current phones on the market, its one of the nicest phones ive ever seen, its going to get updated as soon as theyre released and its half the price of its competitors.
Not sure if serious... But on topic, Nexus 4.

If brand new, both were exact same price, the One X+ is a cooler phone, root it, and install CM11 based off Android 4.2 next month.
But the One X+ is 50% more expensive, and there is no original development or CM10 ready yet for the X+
So the Nexus 4 wins, hands down.
Now in a month or so, when the One X+ is rooted, and running the new CM11, I would love to see a review comparing both phones.

Will buy the Nexus 4!
50% cheaper
Gets updates faster than any other phones
Do not have to immediatlely root it, 'cause it has the Android I want (the latest, stock based like CM)
Its price and specs are overwhelming
Just wondered about its - in comparison to the HOX+ [64GB] - low internal memory [16GB] and that you can't add a micro SD... Asked a friend who owns an Galaxy Nexus, which size its internal memory has - also 16GB. He has so much apps installed and he still has 13GB, really envious with my Wildfire S [150 MB intenal memory...]
EDIT: Found out the max of the internal memory in the Nexus-Serious was and is 16GB!

Great thread OP, I was in the same shoes you are in last night but after reading engadget's review of the One X+, the nexus 4 is a no brainer. The One x+ has great storage, a higher clocked CPU and a beautiful design, but apparently, battery life is still not as good as the best phone out there like the galaxy s3 (forget the note 2, it can't be touched) . It does perform better than the One X running ICS, but people have reported that the jelly bean One X flies. So I would buy a one x instead to save money cause battery life is not that much of an improvement. But One x vs nexus 4? Hands down the nexus 4, you won't have to fast boot space blah blah blah to flash a rom or a kernel.

Thanks for your very professional feedback! Don't know if you read my post two posts above. That were the reasons for my decision to buy a nexus 4.... but still have a bit time to think about it...
Knew about the great internal specs of the one x+. Nexus 4 can't touch it. But usually I do only use CyanogenMod.. If I'd own a nexus, it would not be necessary to install it for me - but 'cause of its advantages in comparison with the stock android I'll do.
Will also root it 'cause then I'll be able to move apps and data onto sd card!

Wrong. The S4 Pro in the Nexus 4 is better than the Tegra 3 in the X+
Hey guys,
I am thinking about getting a Nexus 4 to replace my HTC Sensation. The Sensation has many problems such as huge battery drain and it gets extremely hot during usage. So I thought the Nexus 4 would be a great idea. Pure Android (huge fan of that, was using CM for a long time on my Senny) and Google Support sound good and the price seems to be okay to (I could buy a 16GB variant for about 310€).
Is this phone great? Is it still worth buying considering it's already nearly a year old? Does it have some know problems such as huge battery drain or display problems?
I need this phone for browsing, using the calendar, writing emails/sms and sometimes taking photos. I don't play any games on it except 4 pictures 1 word.
Thanks in advance!
I too came from a Sensation, and it's a fine upgrade, for all the reasons you mention. Perhaps not as durable as HTC's build quality, so be sure to include a decent cover (I use the Diztronic TPU and it looks factory) to protect that beautiful glass. It's a joy to use..you can't go wrong. Cheers!
I just got one a couple days ago. I'm really liking it. Great jump from a galaxy s2

I came from a galaxy s2, and previously HOX tegra. I bought a N4 2 weeks ago, and in stock its pretty smooth, awesome i'd say. Better price/performance choice. You wont regret

I bought a Nex4 about 6 weeks ago after being a long term BB user, our company provide BB but have just let us go BYOD. I got N4 to replace the BB and so far it hasn't disappointed in any way. I also wanted the pure Android experience after my N10. The phone has been a good choice.

Honestly, if that is all you use your phone for, you should get the Lumia 1020. But if you want to stay with Android and can wait 4 more months, the 5th Nexus will be out then and should the price be as low as the Nexus4, then it would be better to get that.

The Lumia 1020 would be out of the price range. I'd never pay 400€+ for a phone I only use for work. I probably can't wait till the next release because the Senny really bugs me. I can't use a phone which burns in my hand because it's getting extremely hot while chewing through battery like nothing. My Sensation barely gets through the day with moderate use.

Keep the Sensation or whatever you have and wait for Nexus 5, trust me on this.

I can't sincerely tell someone to purchase a 7 month old device when knowing a faster device will come for the same price in due time.
Well you can go on buying Nexus 4, everything is a beauty when you compare prices and then it is a google phone so it always have it perks.
If you think you should wait for nexus 5 then its not very much pretty soon bcz this time google launched s4 and htc one as google variant which means next nexus will take time.
Your tasks which u need to perform as you have mentioned would all be performed very well.
Tip I can give even for better battery.
Unlock the bootloader, use custom recovery such as CWM and flash CM 10.1 stable releases which ever is latest.
Find franco kernel and flash that and for better colours use its colour profile.
You will have an outstanding experiance with great display and great battery time.
Best of luck.
NOTE. All decision is urs what ever suits you best.

People will and should buy the device that suits their needs and the price they are willing to pay.
If you want a unlocked / contract free phone the device is a good choice
The entire motion that a new device will be out in a couple months is pointless. He wants a phone now. A couple months is just that. A couple months living with a phone he doesn't want. Then when the next nexus device comes out there will be the next best thing on the horizon.
He a is a basic user that doesn't participate in the stupid I need the lastest and greatest hw spec race.
Sitting around waiting for 4 plus months for a device is just stupid.
Why buy a HTC one now? The plus version is coming? Why by a s4 now? The advanced or whatever version with the 800 is coming in a couple of months.

To each their own, I cannot speak for the needs of TC nor their personal interests. Whether he's comfortable with waiting X months is currently unknown and has not been divulged in this topic, so we can agree to disagree.
He said he probably can't wait for the next release because his phone bugs him.
Even a device like the HTC first would suit him fine hardware and software wise. Not unlocked and cheap of course ( don't even think it launched outside the US or unlocked) but just talking the device itself
There are plenty of users who are not concerned with the I can read the spec sheet pissing matches. Wait for the latest and greatest chip so they can have a higher score in benchmarks etc.
Its definitely still worth buying full price. Its a great device especially if you're a fan of stock android like you said.
Happy phoning.
I really don't need high specs. Benchmarks never intersted me because at the end you probably won't feel any difference between for example the snapdragon 600 and the snapdragon 800 in everyday use. I just want the phone to work well without stuttering and without any hick ups.

If you need a phone now, just go for it. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait and see what comes up. IMO I usually don't want the first batch of the phone anyway since they are usually the ones with problems.
just buy it
I highly recommend nexus 4.. Believe me it's as smooth as HTC one out even better..
Root and flash cyanogenmod and Franco kernel... That made me a delighted user from a happy user...
Besides it'll have developer support for hell lot of a time to come... Even after people forget about HTC one and s4..
:good::good:
I'm going to buy it at the end of August and I think it is still worth it. However reading this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2259334 scaried me!
Currently I have an iPhone 3GS. It's served me well for the last year and 3/4 but its starting to show its age. Really I just want to know if I show go and buy a nexus 4 now or should I wait for something like the note 2 to come down in price? Any help in answer this question would be good.

I'd get the Nexus 4 now, it just depends how long you are willing to wait.
It depends on your budget. If you waited this long I don't see why you can't wait to see what phones are released later in the summer.

Well I've only really been looking this month. My main concern is the longevity of the nexus 4 as I read that is slowly being outdated without being a year old( but seeing as my phone is 3 it shouldn't really concern me). And as for my budget I'm looking for the best that is around $400-$500
If you're budget conscious and think you would enjoy the stock Android experience, I say go for it. If you take excellent care of your phone you can always sell it for a good amount on eBay or Craigslist and use that money to buy an upcoming phone should it appeal to you more.

Idk where you read that but the Nexus 4 is about to receive 4.3 and will more than likely receive 5.0 later this year. The Nexus 4 has a lot of life left in it. Even after Google stops official support I'm sure the dev community will keep it going a while longer.

I've never used Transformer before but I believe it runs a slightly skinned version of Android? In any case you can look up YouTube videos of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 to see what stock Android is like.
It's debated (of course) but most of the Android devotees enjoy "stock/vanilla" Android, which basically means it's Android as it comes from Google. OEMs like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and others all put their own custom skins on it. They often add features that stock Android doesn't have (some useful, some gimmicky) but the general consensus is that the skins bog down the phone and that loss in performance outweighs the extra bells and whistles you get.
Being that you're an iOS user, think of it in these terms--a Nexus device is the closest thing to an iPhone for Android. I mean this in the sense that when Google releases a new version of Android, you get it quickly after it's release. Just like you do when Apple pushes an iOS update. If you had say a Samsung Galaxy S4 and were anxious for Android 5.0, you'd have to wait at least a few months for Samsung to rework their Touchwiz UI over the new Android 5.0 and send out an update.
Given your budget, I would totally recommend the Nexus 4. You'll even have some extra cash to spend on some great accessories to keep it nice and safe--in case you do decide to sell it for something coming in the next year.
Hope this helps.
The only reasons to wait would be the release of the x phone or the next nexus. As we don't know if the x phone will be worth it, and the nexus 5 isn't even announced yet (don't forget the time it took to get the phone on stock..2 or 3 month after release), I'd say get the Nexus 4 and be happy.
I bought my N4 last week and I advice you to buy it
I am normally a buy now type of guy.
But I would wait to the moto x announcement. And at least see if the tumours are true.
One of the biggest things about a nexus device is that is unlocked and off contract.
If the moto x is going to be available for 299 of contract and their is a device for your carrier of choice, that would also be a tempting deal. Decent specs and lte and a good price. I don't really believe that rumor but I would at least wait til find out. It's only a week away.

Moto x not worth it. It's a dual core phone and not even 1080p. The only thing better for the Moto x over the n4 is probably the camera. Spec wise, n4 is a lot faster. Plus it's a Nexus phone so therefore, it will have the latest updates. Moto x will still require carrier approval most likely.

Not worth it? You don't even know the price. Nor do you know the network the user is on. I assume if he is from the states he is on att. That alone could easily push somebody to a moto x phone on that network for lte over their crap 3g.
Specs don't mean crap. Benchmarks don't mean crap. In no usage case with the nexus 4 be a lot faster. In fact it the moto x should be faster in day to day use. It won't be slower.
The op didn't mention a thing about getting updates and doesn't even know what the stock experience is and so on.
If he wants to spend up to 500 on a phone he could also consider dropping that for a oppo. And that phone is old and still worth that price.

The problem with some android users is that they measure everything according to hardware, i call this the samsung mentality, "pump in the latest and greatest hardware, it will look good on paper, who cares about user experience" . No wonder the S4 has a lot of problems and as they call it over there (on their xda forums) "unoptimized software yet". Doesn't sound nice for a >650$ device.
I'm not a fan of Apple or any of it's products, but comparing the hardware/performance of the iphone5 vs galaxy S4 , as sad as it sounds, the my-little-pony-phone destroys that S4 in all fields even with inferior hardware.
So don't put the Moto X on ignore list just yet, i'm sure those 2 cores are going to be more than enough for one of the best android user experiences, and the lack of 1080p display is there for a reason. And finally don't forget that rumors say it's going to be an affordable phone targeting a wider crowd than, let's say, the nexus line.
An average non tech savvy individual doesn't care about which hardware the device rocks, they only care about the overall user experience, and the Moto X might provide just that.
I don't think the N4 will be outdated anytime soon for me at least, but I guess it depends on your needs. The biggest downside to N4 (for me) is the lack of external SD and LTE. If you feel these features are important to you in the near future, I would wait. If not, I would buy.
I bought one last wed. The Dev community is huge for the device and will be for along time. Pricing and hardware is awesome, not to mention I think its still one of the best looking phones. I say go for it.
Cheers, J.
I bought the N4 recently and I'd say wait for the moto x. It's just a week more and I think it's better looking than the nexus. Hardware specs are not that important. If you don't like it you can still get the nexus later.

I am confused, I had a galaxy note 2 for few months but i recently lost it I am currently using a non smartphone and I know that lots of new phone will be announced next week at IFA berlin 2013 but am not willing to spend a lot on a phone after losing my note 2.
Nexus 4 prices are gone down to clear out the stock for nexus 5 but am not sure if it will be as cheap as nexus 4 was when it first launched. what do you suggest, should i wait till nexus 5 is announced and see if its worth it or get a nexus 4 now?
I also wanted to know if the battery life is good enough to last me a whole day since my note 2 had 3100mah compared to nexus 4 2000mah?
thanks in advance
The battery is good, atleast for me, I can easly get 1 day out of it.
Hmm well PERSONALLY I would buy the N4. But that's because I can't wait when buying something new and because I think that the N4 is already so smooth that you don't some more cores/ghz etc like the N5, because how much faster can it get? The heaviest games are already smooth so...
Maybe only a camera improvement would be nice.
Eitherway it's up to you, these are just my 2 cents.

Get n4 !

Nexus 4 is indeed an amazing phone with the best pure android experience.
Of course all top branded high end androids will have support community for custom Roms and latest android features.
If you want some more customized UI like touchwiz or sense you can try something else.
But take into consideration that Nexus 4 is a value for money device with high performance which leaves most users satisfied.
It also has a unique design , a nice manufacturer and support both LG and Google.
I would recommend you to give it a try.
( another option for me is Moto X . very nice looks , customizable case , nice features etc. )
Just to reiterate what the other's have said, it's a brilliant value for money device, and recently in the UK at least there has been a 33% price drop from £239 to £159 which is absolutely crazy for a device of this spec. That's like a quarter of the price of the S4 which experiences more lag than the Nexus 4 if kept on touchwiz.
If you're one of those people who gets bored of the phone quite quickly, wait for the N5, I'm sure the price point will be just as good.
Nexus 5 isnt out yet and look at those people coming with their answers to buy n4.
First of all op it would be wise to sit and wait for n5 to come out and compare it on the based reviews with n4.
Then and only then you can say which phone suits you best.
Seriously, you guys sick the **** out of me with your adoration towards n4.

I recently broke my Note 2 and bought a Nexus 4 to replace it, so I feel I should chime in.
1) The Nexus has horrible battery life compared to the Note 2. I wish it wasn't so, but I've recently even gotten a battery pack to recharge it on the go. It lasts maybe 50% as long, and this is with the most recent update (jwr66y). --- EDIT: OP asked if he could use it all day. For me, it's a maybe. With light usage, yes, but not if you use it like you could the Note 2.
2) Switching from the big screen to the small one has been a real challenge. I've caught myself looking at tablets a lot lately, and I never felt I needed one with the Note.
3) While pure android is nice, touchwiz is nice too. I consider them a toss up.
4) The Nexus 4 is a very nice device. It has good build quality, a nice screen, runs fast, and enabling LTE is easy (with T-Mo at least).
Bottom line, I'm seriously considering buying the Note 3 when it releases in the coming weeks, and keeping the Nexus as a backup. It's either that or getting a tablet, but I'd much rather continue to have 1 device.
might as well wait for the nexus 6, itll be even better than the 5 :silly:

It's different when there's maybe a 2 month wait vs. a 14 month wait. I'll be waiting for the 5.
Buy N4 and then sell it off resale value will ofc be good till N5 is released.

lol, i think you missed my point, it was an attempt at humor. thats why i included this guy--> :silly:
Well, I have a gnex and a nexus 4, and the nexus 4 is a massive improvement over the gnex, however I'm not sure a nexus 5 phone will be a massive leap over the nexus 4 unless klp is more resource heavy. My n4 is buttery smooth and I even considered buying another one just because there only 200$ now. Go for the nexus 4 and you can probably resell it in a year for 200-300$ still

I personally am upgrading from a Nexus 5 mainly because I upgrade my phone every two years anyways.
I am also upgrading because of the abysmal battery life with the n5, and I want more speed and ram.
Plus, a better camera and better speakers will be very nice. How about you guys?
I'm upgrading from a Note 4...
1) the lag can be ridiculous and nothing I do resolves it
2) the updates take too damn long to trickle down with AT&T having to mess with the firmware before releasing
3) work app will only work on nexus phones because of requiring updates to be as soon as possible

Samsung galaxy note 2. I get my phones through work. This is a great benefit for someone with more kids than disposable income (and because I'm always on call)
Although the brass purchases nearly every new device for testing (we are a broadcast company with video app and lots of games), they frown upon replacing personal devices each year.
I've had my note 2 since it came out. And last year was the first year computer acquisitions was able to offer/get nexus devices. But the demand was so high, I was unable to get a quote for the nexus 6 till March!
By that time, I figured I'd wait another 6 months for the newest nexus device.
I'm a flashaholic, so I've been rocking lollipop or note4 on my note 2 for a bit, but pure nexus will sure be nice!

Since you're a flashaholic, you'll definitely love nexus devices. There's a reason the development posts for the nexus devices have so many threads.
LG G3 because it's been over a year now and the cpu isn't good enough for 1440p and I have always wanted a nexus phone because verizon is sh*t and fast updates
I'm upgrading from the Samsung S6 with Verizon. I really love the phone and I'm rooted. I'm stuck on an older version of lollipop just to keep root. I had a version of the phone with the latest update and no root and the phone suffered drastically.
I chose to get the nexus 6p because I love Android and I want to get updates immediately. I'm hoping that Huawei makes a splash with there first US released phone.

It's definitely good to have another OEM in the US market. Especially with HTC doing poorly lately.
Note 4 / LG g4
OnePlus One to the Nexus 6P, I had the Nexus 4 before the OnePlus One and found the dev support to be better on the Nexus 4. Also want front facing speakers and a better camera. Looking forward to this new phone

Coming from n5
Wanted bigger, better everything, and wouldn't own anything but a nexus device.
They are just too much fun!

One of my best friends had a OPO and he loved the specs/speed, but was annoyed by the software support so I can definitely see why you'd want to upgrade.
Hopefully this phone turns out to be rock solid.
Also, time to update your signature
Samsung sm-910a / NO ROOT ! And to try out project Fi.
I dropped my LG g2 a week ago at work slightly and a couple days later it stopped reading all Sim cards. Sucked because it had one of the best development communities I've ever been apart of and the phone had unbelievable battery life. Phone just turned 2 years old, so I guess it was time for an upgrade anyway. Now I just have an excuse.

Coming from the nexus 6.
Why? Because I get each nexus device on launch day, and have since the galaxy nexus.

>each nexus device
So I assume you ordered the 5x as well?
I'm upgrading because I want to continue to enjoy the Nexus party on XDA! There's few rush's like it in Virtual reality ...

i'm coming from a tmobile galaxy s6 and i'm going to get the nexus 6p, but i want to wait a month or two to see how this snapdragon 810 performs in it. with the recent news of the xperia z5 heating up a lot even with sony putting in heat pipes and thermal pasting to try to keep it cool, i'm wondering how the 6p users will feel once they have it in hand and have a chance to work the soc.
