Hi,
Recently I bricked my TF300T, so using it is (IMHO) no longer an option, even if it were to be replaced.
So I'm now considering purchasing either the Nexus 10 or the Nexus 7, or if there's enough reason to wait, the next Nexus tablet.
How well do the two compare in quality?
For those of you unfamiliar with the TF300T, it has a 1.3 GHz Nvidia Tegra 3, 1 GB RAM, and I got the one with the 16 GB internal storage.
For cameras it has a 1.2 front facing camera, 8.0 rear camera. 720p screen.
I've used the cameras before, so I'm not exactly excited about losing one, if I go with the Nexus 7, so I'm leaning towards the Nexus 10 at the moment.
How powerful are the CPU&GPU in the N10?
I would like to be able to run Adobe flash applications, like Prezi, on it.
Is the high PPI display on it as amazing as Google says it is?
How long does the battery last when on stock? And how long on Cyanogenmod?
Is the 5 MP camera on the back alright? I mean, it isn't webcam quality, right?
Thanks!

The next Nexus tablet will simply be an update to the Nexus 7 model. It is due out in July and nothing but rumored specs right now until Google IO when specs become official.
I was in the same situation as you a week ago. I did a ton of research and bought a Nexus 10, and I owned a TF300 previously. Just do it. I'm very happy with the tablet and it's buttery smooth. I like the ipad screen a little better but as far as resolution goes the Nexus 10 is amazing.
Thanks for the information!
I sure am now wishing I purchased a Nexus 10 in the first place (it was either that or the TF300T when I was buying on November 24th).
Does anyone run a chroot on their Nexus 10?
How fast does it go?
I've owned both the tf300t and iPad retina and currently own the N10. I absolutely love the N10. Very fast, great battery life and screen. I went with it over the N7 because of screen resolution and faster processor.

Nexus 7 will be announced next month, so it's worth the wait. It should defiantly have a 1080p screen and a better chip. Snapdragon 600 is currently the rumor as Tegra won't be able to ship the same time and if it keeps the price of £200. It's worth the wait!
I have to say that the price of a used Nexus 7 is very appealing.
Because I'm kind of wanting one for school, I think I'll go with the N7.
Unless, of course, if there's a reason not to.

Hi, I was thinking about either getting these phones for T-Mobile:
LG Optimus G
Nexus 4
HTC One X
Which one do you guys think is the best one for the price? I don't really care about features, just the specs (But they're pretty much the same)
Because I play a lot of high-end games and stuff. yea.
Thanks in advance
Personally I'd go with the Nexus 4.
In terms of Specs the Nexus 4 and the LG Optimus G are literally the same device, I believe the LG Optimus G has a higher resolution camera but the Nexus 4 has a higher quality camera.
The One X might be slightly better for gaming because it has a tegra 3 but from my experience it makes the general android experience feel sluggish outside of gaming.
The Nexus 4's gpu keeps up well enough (assuming it doesn't beat it, I haven't checked benchmarks purely speaking from experience), and you get a vastly superior android experience.
On top of that there's the "feature" that the Nexus 4 will always have the latest version of android, but if you prefer Sense over AOSP that might be another reason to get the One X.

There's also a 16GB version. If that's a concern the Nexus 4 probably isn't right for you.

There is a 8GB and a 16 GB version and no micro SD slot. It's a toss up, it depends what you want. Sometimes you can't have everything, you have sacrifice something. The micro SD slot which the Nexus 4 doesn't have does not bug me. 16 GB is enough for me. I don't listen to music on my phone nor do I store videos such as movies and stuff, got a mp3 player for that. I'd rather get the fast updates from Google and stock Android.
It all depends on you OP. What DO YOU want?

Nexus 4, plain and simple. ASOP is the best android, no question. The nexus 4 will get all the latest versions of android faster then any other phone on earth. Its the best phone if you want the best android experience. Don't worry about storage either, 16GB is actually a very decent amount.

I don't have a soul. I have an N4. Go for it.
My one x got stolen recently, and it forced me to get a new phone. I bought a nexus 4, and I need to say that nexus 4 is a God in comparision with one x much smoother, runs cooler and has much better battery life. Don't think about one x, if you've got a chance, get a nexus straight away

When i was first looking at the N4 as an option i was worried about not having a SD slot, but have now been using my N4 for almost a month now and I still have 9GB free on the phone
BTW the nexus 4 that T-mobile is 16GB which is decent imo and my only other worry was not having the LTE on it but the HSPA+ is pretty damn good here where i live i see 7mb-15mb down which im also happy with , this phone is by far the best phone i have had in the last 5 years .
Correct me if I'm wrong but getting a HTC One X is rather difficult, isn't it? It stayed very few months on the market and got superseded by the One X+. The one X+ has a bigger battery and comes with 64Gig onboard. I saw very good deals for that bad boy recently. If you don't mind messing your hands with Custom ROMs, the One X+ and AOSP Android should be a sweet combination.
However, stock-by-stock, the N4 would be the winner. I think the only points where the One X+ would win over the N4 are onboard memory and that curved Gorilla screen. I just love the way the One X series look
The HTC One X lags while playing Need For Speed Most Wanted, Moderm Combat 4 and some games
Nexus 4 / HTC One / Xperia Z / S4
So, yes, I'm buying either of those. Which one do you think I should buy?
I'm going for the Nexus 4, but the Moto G has been getting alot of rave reviews, which led me to asking this question to get you guy's opinions.
Even though the n4 is a year old, its still a beast. What are your thoughts? Moto G or N4?
even I still have a nexus 4, I would suggest to buy a moto g! the price is awesome, the hardware (except the camera) equal or better, and the software will almost as fast updated as on the nexus 4
keep calm and push the thanks button!
Nexus 4 - hardware/updates
Moto G - Less better hardware then N4/Updates tend to be slower/Stylish
I've owned quite a few Android Devices... Will never buy a non-Nexus device after my experience with the Galaxy Nexus and my N4.
Actually the moto g keeps up the the GS4, nexus 5, and nexus 4...get a moto g,

IF you ar eon T-Mobile then a nexus 4 with one of the 4.4 ROMS with LTE baked in is a bargain!
Ignore.. Guess I was wrong.
Some people are making ridiculous claim. The Moto G do not have equivalent hardware of the Neuxs 4.
First off the Nexus 4 is 3G pentaband, it work anywhere and doesn't have to deal with having two different global and US version like Moto G. It have that hidden Band 4 LTE support too.
It have a clearly faster SOC, at 1.5ghz and Adreno 320. The Moto G is slower at 1.2ghz and only Adrena 305. And the N4 have 2GB of ram instead of one.
Lastly, better camera. The 5MP from the Moto G barely cuts it.
Since KitKat is light you might not see a difference, but the Nexus 4 is outright faster.
There are some better factors for the Moto G like longer battery life and out of the box USB OTG support, however it lacks physical TV output. If these factors are important to you, then maybe the Moto G is a better choice. I think KitKat run so well especially with ART, and better battery life by itself may be the killer factor for some people.
However, on the enthusiast side, I am not really convinced with the lacking of roms for the Moto X. I would rather get a used Nexus 4 still at this point, but for buying it as a gift or regular Android users, then I would recommend the Moto G.
If you can possibly ever stretch your budget, get a nexus 5. But if you're strictly limited to N4 or Moto G, then I'd recommend the N4. The Nexus 4 has a slightly bigger screen (4.7inches) and VERY slightly higher resolution (1280x768). The SoC in the Nexus 4 is significantly much faster than the Moto G, don't rely on benchmarks such as Quadrant and Antutu. Use cross platform benchmarks to compare such as Geekbench (For CPU) and GLBench (For GPU). The Adreno 320 in the N4 is more than enough to power the N4 reso allowing it to keep up with devices such as the Nexus 5 and Note 3 since they're pushing 1080p. Customization is questionable for either devices, the question is, do you like a custom back cover for your phone more than a custom ROM & kernel? The N4 will have way more support for ROMs and Kernels. The cons of the N4 to the Moto G is that it has a Glass back, requiring more care if you want to use it without a case. Neither device doesn't officially support LTE, but as far as I know, there is a flashable zip for a custom radio allowing Band 4 LTE. In my point of view, I do not see a reason to go for the Moto G unless you prefer a smaller screen, ability to switch out the back cover for a different color and how it feels in hand (Moto G does feel better in hand, although this is just an opinion).
If you want better performance then definitely nexus 4 because it is still a very high end device. If you are not a power user, only uses basic stuffs then moto g is a good phone at really fair price.
lmao moto g = n4 hardware? ofc no,moto g uses adreno 305 as gpu and our n4 uses 320.its a notable difference in gaming performance.not in system performance tho.
Thanks everyone. Going for the N4. Regarding Moto G having USB OTG, you can get that on n4 with a otg y cable which I will be purchashing, plus a great case for it too so that it doesn't break that easily.
I was already on the heavy side of getting the N4, and you guys just affirmed my "thoughts". And the dev scene is just too good for the N4, which I think would never be that good for the Moto G.
And even if the N4 doesn't get updates after 4.4.1, either I'll get a new device by then or it'll be ported to N4 anyway.

I Bought the nexus 5 for £310 and at first was happy with the device, however I decided to ditch this and buy myself Moto G Unlocked
cost me £92, saving my self £200 as i've sold on the nexus, £200 Cheaper for starters, The moto G is a great size its more of a one handed use then the nexus where I often had to strain myself, secondly battery life on the nexus was terrible would have to charge twice a day, on the moto G I don't have to, Now something people think they will miss?
Speed
For some people yes the nexus is better for you if you game, but for me I mainly facebook message,text, web browse the moto g does
this quick with no issues, nexus only opens apps 0. faster, who really cares?
1080p Screen
720p is fine for reading texts
I Reccomend this phone it does what you want for a cheap price Love the dimple too

I've had the alcatel idol 3 for a few months. Its pretty much pure android and my first pure android phone. I love it, its awesome, but i want a bigger device and i'm done with other oems. Im not buying anything other than pure android for now on. So i'm stuck between the nexus 6 which in theory is faster than the lg g4, and the new moto x pure. I'd love to try out a 6 inch screen, im just fine with lugging it around but the moto x does have the micro sd card. so im hoping you guys can help me come to a decision.
I have the Nexus 6 and it is a awesome phone. I will never buy a carrier branded phone again. Pure android is the way to go for me. I am thinking about buying the Moto X Pure mainly because of the sd card slot and the moto assist features. Both are great choices.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk
moto x if you want sd card
moto x if you use voice commands a lot.
the X's software enhancements are geared towards using voice commands
One day I hope that google includes these little tweaks into stock android down the line
Customization of "Ok Google' so something as simple as a TV commercial or my daughter on her ipad activating my phone.
When using a voice command to make a call, it automatically goes to speakerphone because most likely if you used your voice to dial you can't really hold the phone. (optional)
Say "what's up" and it will read your unread notifications.
Say "Find my phone" and it will start ringing so you can locate it.
The drive assist is probably my favorite. There are 3rd party apps that do similar things but none of them are refined as moto's implementation.
twist to launch camera
chop chop to launch flashlight
Camera software in moto x has burst mode and slow mo which the N6 doesn't
MicroSD
Nexus 6
bigger screen with amoled display if that's your thing
better GPU
stock android if you're not into the moto features
faster updates
bigger battery (not necessarily means better battery life due to other factors)
I have the nexus 6 and i've been waiting and trying my best to find alternatives to the features my moto x 2013 has and that's pushing me to make the jump to the moto x pure.
Don't forget about the camera, apparently the Moto X Pure is going to be a big difference.
If you want a big screen Nexus, why not wait till the new Nexus phones drop in about a month?

I'm in the same boat! Want a Nexus 6 because of Project fi but also holding out to see if the Moto X Style (Pure) will work on fi.
I love my N6 its a great phone at least for me coming from a locked down Note 4 vzw. My reason for switching is the sd card and the better camera, the N6 camera while not the worse its not that great compared to others. Also the slightly smaller size will bet better for my pocket.
I think either is a good option.

I've had both the Idol 3 and the Nexus 6. I'm hoping that either the Pure or Huawei Nexus ends up being a good choice for me. I like the lightness and thin profile of the Idol 3. The N6 is a brick by comparison. I'd love to have that weight and size in a more powerful phone that has the kind of ROM/kernel/root support that the N6 has. I'm hoping that either the Pure or Huawei Nexus matches my wishes. I like it that the Pure is almost the exact same size as the Idol 3, other than thickness. And at 5.7", the screen is only a quarter inch smaller than the N6's. I look forward to having a look at its display. The Pure should be faster than the N6 and it supports a Micro SD card, a very nice convenience. It has the benefit of similar technology, but a year newer.
I'd also wait until the end of the month to have a look at the Huawei Nexus. It's very likely to have all the benefits of a Nexus phone, a major plus when you get used to that. We'll find out how the details of it play out.

That's compelling for people who don't need microSD slot in their phone. Nexus 6 32GB is 100$ cheaper than Moto X Pure 32GB. That's very big savings! Not for me though... I want my microSD slot, better camera and stereo front speakers.
I would say go for the Moto X Pure. I have the LG G4 and I absolutely love it... but I'm switching to the Moto X Pure and am choosing it over the Nexus 6 simply because of the size fits more realistically, the camera is MUCH improved over the Nexus 6 and Moto Assist features take the stock Android experience to a new level.

Ended up getting a white 64gig Nexus 6. Yeah it doesn't have a micro SD card but I'll manage to get over it. Waiting to see if someone gets Google fi working on the Moto X Style Pure before unpacking the N6. If so, then back to Amazon the N6 goes
