If I was upgrading now, and couldn't wait until later this year, I would pick the Nexus, simply because of the development opportunities. Razor is sweet, I like the HTC Rezound too, but the Nexus was built for rooting and Romming, etc. And I am a fan of Samsung phones...later this year, when I am eligible for my upgrade, I'm hoping the GSIII will be an option as well. The GSII is my favorite device on the market right now.

You mean Galaxy Nexus right?

Google discontinued support for CDMA. So everyone that got nexus as a development phone is now screwed. Sorry everyone, good luck.
Oh, and BTW, don't ever buy a Motorola,....they SUCK

My wife picked up a Razr Maxx a week ago. Actually I think it's a nice unit. Some of the V-bloat, like games can be uninstalled (she's not a big Madden 12 fan. LOL). The Verizon stuff can be "hidden" from appearing in the app drawer.
Motocast seems to be a nice feature, with the Moto program on our desktop she can access shared folders on the PC with her phone over wi-fi or 3G/4G from anywhere.
Smart Actions is similar to a Tasker app but with a graphical UI. You have Triggers and Actions. Very easy to use. We set up one so that when she leaves work to drive home, any incoming phone call or text message, Voice anounces the callers name and sends an Auto reply txt message that says, "I'm driving right now. I'll get back to you ASAP".
The battery is a monster. She fiddled with the phone all day Sat and still had 60% that night. We only have 3G service right now where we live but when battery sucking 4G is available I'm sure the extra mAh will come in very handy, especially as the phone ages.

well discontinued support is misleading in a way...source code will still be pushed and available for developers
basically they are just not "officially" calling it a supported phone because of the proprietary files for the radio/lte that they do not have the rights too (google that is) and because of that they feel they cannot truly support it
but the status quo in regards to source roms and the like wont change

Might wanna do your research. They said that for ALL CDMA bases Nexus devices, the nexus one, the nexus s 4G, the LTE Galaxy Nexus and the LTE Motorola Xoom.
The only thing they aren't supporting is end users building AOSP for it. Google themselves will still be releasing official updates.

Galaxy S III or Galaxy Nexus?

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!

The current Nexus phone has been out for a while now. It was initially released in 11/17/2011 and made its way to the US in 12/15/2011, it is about 7-8 months old already. The S3 on the other hand is much more recent.
With that said, I, too, find Nexus more attractive because it's not filled with bloatware and is pure Google and gets updates quickly. If you can wait, I'd recommend to hold off until the next Nexus phone is released.

In terms of price, you can get a nexus for 1 cent on Amazon wireless, 149.99 for a gs3.
In terms of feature set and specs, its all preference. I love the big screen on the s3 and its classy look versus the dull galaxy nexus grey.
If price is no object get the s3 hands down, just be patient on ROMs.

I agree with the above post, but not completely. What carrier are you on? If its Verizon, with the locked bootloader debacle of the galaxy s3, they may not get the new nexus. Additionally, the Verizon nexus didn't get the updates as fast as the GSM versions. On the other hand, if you are on a GSM carrier and are completly happy with your coverage, i would maybe wait for the nexus.
I do love my Galaxy s3, but i will always be envious of the nexus.

depends on upgrade
if you have the $199 upgrade option to galaxy s iii, then take that. if you're paying straight cash, i'd get the nexus probably second hand from ebay or swappa.

Stay away from the nexus, is great as a multimedia device and to mess around with ROMs but is horrible as a phone.

I would get the s3, cm9 is stable enough for daily driver and cm10 will be stable soon, I like the GSM galaxy nexus but internal storage kills it, and the camera is not good enough sometimes , s3 you can switch over cm9 if you dislike touchwiz so much

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Get the S3 if you don't mind signing a contract. The hardware specs such as the S4 processor, GPU and 2GB of RAM are better than what the Nexus is offering. However, if you want Jelly Bean now, then get the HSPA+ Galaxy Nexus with no contract.
At this point I would say, if you can wait a few more months, just hold out for the next Nexus. (If you really want a nexus device)

I had nexus and now have sg3 the nexus is not good and not loud
Im on my SG3

The gs3 hands down...the device flat out runs sweet even on stock touchwiz. I can definately hold off until cm10 is fully functional!

I just ordered the Nexus this morning. Thanks everyone for the valuable advice
Sent from my GT-P7500 using xda app-developers app

I see people saying wait for the next Nexus. Is there some kind of overall consensus on when it will come out (by the forum-goers)? Because when I think about it, I can definitely see a situation where the next one comes out maybe even mid-next year or later...
I have also had this question in my mind (S3 vs. Nexus). I'll probably go for the better hardware and use diff ROMs if necessary (I really like Jelly Bean and I fear how long it may take S3 to get that...)

Thats a lame comment. Yes The Nexus is Older, but in the end, it does not mater if you have a 18Mp camera and you are stock on Gingerbread and waiting for samsung or your carrier to push you bloatware and updates once a year..

As I posted earlier was thinking about selling my note. Well someone offered me $350 cash locally so I took them up and went to Sam's club and bought their last 16gb Google tablet to hold me over until the note 2 in a few months. So far its pretty cool.
I will still be checking here daily to keep up with development and see who is moving to the 2. Plus I've made some good international pals here as well.
anyway, thanks everyone from themers to chefs to developers to those who help and those I've helped, its been fun and ill see ya here and when the second version of the greatest phablet ever is released

I actually ask myself the same question. "Is that big purchase of the new device justified for a sake of some improvements (but not so overly dramatic)?".
I realise Note2 will come with 4 core processor, slightly bigger screen and perhaps Spen functionality ironed out and maybe better battery life. But how much all these improved features will affect my daily use. The more I think about it the less I'm convinced that I should switch...

Then you're brain is working properly.
None of the features that have leaked are worthy for NOTE users to switch. I mean sure from a Gnex or an S3... but the NOTE is still one of the most advanced smartphones out there.

Completely agree. I bought my Note 2-3 months ago, and sure i'd like to have Note 2, but lets be honest, throwing loads of money away just to get quad-core cpu ( which i probably won't even notice in my daily use ) is just...well...not very smart, unless you have a lot of cash you can spend for whatever you like, then i guess there's no discussion here. Will definitely buy Note 2, but probably in a year or so.

I am really interested to buy Nexus 7. let us know if you are satisfied with the tablet as a Note user

I don't need a Goliath screen/phone size, and I find taking notes on a tablet more useful, if you are going to use it for that purpose.

I wouldnt mainly because this is pure android and updates instant

I had a Note 2 for a month, and why did I return it because of the screen. AMOLED is nice for blacks and such but having had a One X as my primary phone I'm just in love with IPS display. Much sharper overall, crisp text, natural colours, the N4 screen is on par with the One X. But I think the One X screen edges the N4 slightly. But would be happy with either.
I'm quite liking the N4, using stock Android is different to using a skinned version.
Both are good phones regardless, go for whatever your needs are.

Trade? Yes, add cash? No.
I can easily buy another n4, but am unwilling to shell out $650 for a note 2

1. No selling our trading outside the marketplace. No one would trade his N4 + $$ for a Note 2.
2. A very small percentage of users on the Nexus 4 subforum stick with stock.
3. There are many threads already comparing the Note 2 and the N4. In fact, there's a ton of threads criticizing the N4 and comparing it to pretty much every flagship phone out.
4. You haven't been gentlemanly and if you showed some manners, you'd get a more genial response. Remember that you came into our forum. Everyone here clearly is sticking with their N4.

Sell it, get a dev edition all problems solved

Get a Dev Edition, seriously. I liked my retail Note 4, but I LOVE my DE N4.

The problem with dev edition phones, like every dev edition before it, is that you are one of very few people with it which means development is next to nothing. The good development always happens on the devices with the most users. That's the retail version, which doesn't have root, or unlocked bootloader, and the two phones can't use the same kernels and whatnot..... It's really not as good as it sounds.

Actually for the verizon folks it is as good as it sounds! Let's face it, you'll never have an unlocked bootloader on the retail note 4...I personals doubt it'll ever see root(I hope I'm wrong). For the dev edition there's enough development already! We got an almost fully stable CM12/beanstalk ROM and a bunch of touchwiz ROMs. It might not be much but its huge compared to the retail note 4 at the moment. You'll never see any aosp even if you ever do get root on the retail.

I've had a Nexus in the past, I don't see the hype. Sure you can install all the ROMs you want, but with xposed and wanam xposed, the ROMs for me aren't really necessary.
I may end up with DE Note 5 just for root, but right now my Note 2 is still doing fine.

Wow. You can add different launchers. You can change the keyboard. Massive flexibility with wallpapers. Gazillion different widgets for weather, time, calendars, news feeds.

Its awesome...its a port from USC for us with DE's... You may have to play around to get LTE but I know the 2/3 build works...flash that.

I have a Note 4 and recently bought a used iPhone 6 128GB at a good deal. I agree it seems "more open" because after being able to jailbreak, the tweaks make the device so much more desirable than the Note 4.
New launcher isn't needed since it doesn't lag like the Note 4's launcher but you can rescale and and you can add tweaks to add a launcher through cydia. You can also change the keyboard on ios 8. I don't really use the spen, and the SMS app works perfectly for me not like the Note 4's laggy sms app. But you can change it as well if you're jailbroken.
In saying this, I love the Note 4 hardware but hate touch wiz with a passion, to me it's terribly slow and i've owned the Note 2,3, and 4. If i could installed stock Lollipop on it i would have kept it. I could have bought a DE version sure, but why should I lose money buying the same exact device with open software essentially supporting a company that locked down my ability to remove their crappy software to begin with. I know Verizon and AT&T pushed Samsung to do this, but Samsung is a gigantic company, they could have said no.

I have a Note 4 and recently bought a used iPhone 6 128GB at a good deal. I agree it seems "more open" because after being able to jailbreak, the tweaks make the device so much more desirable than the Note 4.
New launcher isn't needed since it doesn't lag like the Note 4's launcher but you can rescale and and you can add tweaks to add a launcher through cydia. You can also change the keyboard on ios 8.

Your right. A jailbroke ios device is just as good as my note 4. Every android phone i have had, had root right out the gate. I got sick of moto so I went with a note 4. Yeah it works fine, but I was flashing roms every day on my other phones and my nexus tablet. I thought since the note 3 had root so would this. Well I was wrong. I will keep this another few months to see if root happens. If not it's getting sold and will get a 6 plus. I have a jailbroke ipad and its tweaked out pretty hardcore. And it never lags and does everything I can do on my nexus. As much as i want to like this phone, I just can't get past no root. I have unlimited data so I will be with Verizon for a minute. I like the m8 but it's probably locked down too, the g3 has an unlocked bootloader on verizon I think? Not to many choices on verizon.
