Only you can make that decision. If you're referring to the Nexus 4, let's just say that I wouldn't ever trade a Samsung for an LG (Legit Garbage) with no external storage capacity.

If you wanna waste your money get a nexus good way to spend money in less. Depending on the nexus device lte is limited or not there and no external(iPhone space BS) to me not even worth it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I personally have had nothing less than absolute misery with LG cell phones I steer clear. I'm sure the Nexus is a good product [but no external SD?? C'mon.]
Samsung makes the best Android cell phones in my opinion. Skyrocket
Skyrocket all the way. Every Samsung phone I've owned has been awesome. Can't say the same with the two LG's I once had. You should also consider looking at the development sections for each to see what roms, kernels, tweaks, etc are available. Skyrocket development is awesome. Many many choices.
I usually stick to everything Samsung (my SSD, phones, ram, fridge etc...)
If you're going to decide between Skyrocket and GNEX then here is the run down:
Both phones are dual core, Skyrocket being clocked higher and slightly faster than the GNEX at stock.
Both phones have 1GB or ram
Skyrocket you can put a memory card in, GNEX does not.
Skyrocket has LTE, GNEX (not the verizon version) does not (if that matters).
Skyrocket is 480x800, GNEX is 720x1280 so visually the GNEX will look a tad better based on pixel density and real estate.
So when it comes down to it its more like a side grade.
Skyrocket missing the HD resolution while the GNEX is missing LTE and expansion slot. So pretty much its all on preference and uses. But the biggest thing is probably the community and development. No doubt the GNEX has a large community and when there is an OS update it comes straight from Google on the day of or a little later when its announced. With the Skyrocket you may be lucky to get the update officially but will get it on AOSP and there is dedicated awesome devs here :good:
I personally have both the Skyrocket and the Nexus 4 and with the recent JB leak the Skyrocket is pretty quick and snappy. The Nexus 4 though is on another ball game but it is indeed fast, super snappy and has good development. Only thing I do miss is LTE, another thing is the OS isnt optimized so much on the Nexus 4 yet that battery hasnt been that great for most people. I get an average of 15hr~ and 3-4hr screen time. My Skyrocket has seen some better days but it is on LTE and that one was giving me 30/30mbps here while my N4 is stuck with HSPA 8/1mbps so that could be a factor when choosing speeds and whatever uses. I also miss the AMOLED blacks but the IPS on the N4 is pretty nice, some people who went from S3s to N4 were complaining that it looked washed out but it looks fine to me.
So pretty much between the S2, GNEX and N4 you lose the same things on the GNEX/N4 (LTE, expansion slot) you gain a larger screen resolution and early OTA updates from google. :good:

And any upgrade would just be an upgrade to the sgs2. So by your logic it would just be a vibrant+++. The sgs2 is the best phone I have owned. And I have had a lot of them. Bigger, better screen, much more storage, nfc, dual core, better camera, possible future lte capabilities, and the list goes on. How are these just tweaks here and there?

I used to own the S 4G, then the S II (T-Mobile), now the Note (International). My advice is to skip the S II and get the Note. The Note international version is expensive and won't work with T-Mobile 3G of course, or you can wait for the Note to come to US (it will likely be with ATT, hopefully T-Mobile).
The S II T-Mobile version isn't a worthy upgrade at its full price, unless you are in a contract and get subsidized of course. The reasons are:
-Lots of people with the T-Mobile version it has screen problems and imperfect screen, including me.
-It's still 800x480 res, the usage experience will be the same.
-T-Mobile version uses Qualcomm S3 cpu, which is no longer considered high end. I could not play HD MKV videos with it smoothly.
If you look around the Note forum there are lots of praise for this phone. The only thing that could hold ones back is the size of the phone and maybe cost.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I think our opinions in this forum are a little biased, but that's because most of us LOVE our Skyrockets.
Definitely keep it. Skyrocket has a better processor and a better camera, if you need a couple of reasons...
The only thing I like more about the Nexus is the 720 screen. But for that, you can probably wait for the S3 or the S2 LTE HD (aka Skyrocket HD).
What parts are making you regret it?
The only thing that I don't like about the Skyrocket is the HDPI screen. It wouldn't normally bother me, but coming from an Evo 3D with QHD, it just seems kind of blurry. Other than that, this phone is absolutely amazing.
Thanks for the responses. Definitely clears up. SKYROCKET definitely has better hardware. But on Monday when the note comes out I'll make my decision....depends on the size of that thing.

I hear you about the screen its my one drawback as well. outside of that, this phone has been great thus far. Sucked to here the HD is going hit canada, but not until q2 which by then, more quad core devices are going to be on their way so its not as big of a deal.
I love my skyrocket. Its been the best phone to date I have had. infuse was ok but felt cheaper to me... have a white note coming next week. and cant wait. cause to me its like a bigger skyrocket.. with a few little extras.. but will keep my skyrocket on my spare line. etc..
Funny thing is.. on the skyrocket the stock rom has been so good havent felt the need to install another etc.. unlike say the inspire or infuse or atrix. or the 10 million other androids I have had in the past. etc..
I find it funny that people on the skyrocket forums are not as anal as people in infuse.

I wordering how long it would take for someone to make a post about the SGS3 and HTC One X. Lmao. I have read in a lot of other forums and most are not happy with SGS3. From what I read it doesn't seem like it has a lot going for it other than a quad core and I doubt that it will be utilized that much. The nifty upgrades to the SGS3 can probably be ported to a device with like hardware. In my opinion, its barely better than the Note. All in all I would still pick the SGS3 over the HTC One X. That's just me though.
Get a Galaxy Note. Tehehehe :thumbup:

If you buy the international One X you'll get Tegra 3 and options of 16GB, 32GB, or 64GB storage.
The ATT version runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 and has 16GB of storage with 12GB user accessible. The battery is not swappable and there is no microsd slot. Also, the bootloader is locked.
The ATT SGS3 variant is rumored to also run on the S4. If everything else remains the same, I think it's the better phone:
1) SuperAMOLED: at 1280x720 you will not notice its pentile.
2) Larger removable 2100mAh battery.
3) 16 GB internal storage with a microsd expansion slot.
Those 3 things are enough for me to decide on the SGS3.
I wrote off the One X when I first heard of the battery and microsd slot issue.
Screw those phones and get a Pantech Burst.

Well i have had 4 galaxy s2, I have had an htc one x and i have had a galaxy note.
The build quality on the Samsung`s is better than the htx one x, it`s screen is not attached to the body correctly it creaks and moves when pressed and the colours go crazy, I prefer the htc one x screen quality apart from the yellow spots, not a big fan of oled technology.
The Galaxy Note was my favorite, but i returned it as their is a problem with the video playback and other screen issues, a dame shame.

I have no idea.... the sg3 is ugly, (btw it should be the skyrocket hd ahem, look at the pics of them both). Honestly im thinking about the gnex, off contract it is 400 bucks here in the U.S. Idk though, if i can not get the gnex then the att one x is next, even though it has the horrible rooting stuff to it, and flashing roms can at the moment only be done through the computer. Then third sg3. I think all the options suck in a big way, maybe ill just keep my infuse for now until the Note 2 comes out not much later, that will be the epic phone killer.
I personally think Samsung is making by far the best android phones out there right now
I would definitely pick S3 for sure
We all have such different opinions but I don't see why u guys say the S3 is ugly, looks nice to me honestly... I was pulling for the One-X until I saw the s3 and watched the videos.

I gave the one X a spin @ my local at&t store, it was phenomenal. The screen was gorgeous and the UI was so fluid.

Get One-X
I think Galaxy S3 is ugly as well and the pen-tile screen isn't appetizing. One X have this brilliant real hi-dpi screen that provides crisp image, not pen-tile. iPhone 4S is not Super Amoled as well but I would still prefer crisp screen.
And I don't see how quad-core and dual-core(assuming it's US version) would make a big difference they're both enough. I bet less than 1% of the time you would notice the significant difference. And quad-core probably drains more battery.
I love my infuse, too. As we have ICS I'm not thinking of changing it in a year.

If the one x can prove to me these two things: the build quality is better then the international one x and the bootloader gets fricken unlocked soon then i will get the one x. I would still use my infuse for the heavy tasks like listening to music, and being my "school" phone because i need the extra storage, not some cloud stuff i can access that eats my data plan tremendously.

Why Idc about the one x+?
Coming from the one S I find the gs3 screen better. It Sucks in daylight but it doesn't bother me. Another thing is battery. They one+ is reportedly rocking the same size battery as the one x. Higher clocked processor with more cores = terrible battery life. Another reason is HTC in general. Coming from the one S I still don't think they even have full s off because Htc hasn't released the source code (last time I check people still couldn't make custom kernels) whereas Samsung released the gs3 instantly. Last reason is the sense ui. It's wack compared to touchwiz Imo.
I make enough money to get a new phone monthly if I wanted to. I won't be buying another Htc branded phone for a while. Not until they get better at supporting the dev community. I'm even still in my 14 day return period and I won't be returning it. Now release a gs3+ with an s4+ pro (quad) and you win me over lol.

Not entirely true. Tegra 3 processors have a 5th core clocked @512mhz that runs all the background stuff if the cores aren't needed...thus giving it a better battery life. And, the GPU made by NVidia is awesome. Our Adreno 225 is just no match...sorry to say guys....but if that one x+ does come out with Tegra 3 and JB right or off the box...looks like I'll be making the jump. I'll still keep my s3 tho...like I do with all my phones.

Hmmm,...Im not seeing much of a difference. In fact, the S2 Snapdragon wins at least as many as the Tegra 3. Granted, if its at 1.7 GHz, it will make a little difference.

Ehh, I prefer Samsung over HTC...so...not really. There's really no need for quad core phones. Some people don't even have Quad Core PCs. :/
I was an HTC loyalist before the Galaxy S3 came out and the One S wasn't gonna cut it for me so that's why I pulled the trigger on the Galaxy S3 but little did I know how much I would love this phone! Now I'm not gonna lie, when I found out about the One X+ I was mad, but if you think about it, the X+ will probably not have a removable battery nor a SD Card slot which are deal breakers for me. Sure Tegra 3+ will be amazing because I'm a gamer on the phones, but 2GB of RAM, Removable Battery and SD card slot is too hard to give up! I love my GS3

Although one can only take so much before they just give up all hope and walk away feeling betrayed. After all of the random reboots, frozen screen, crashes, loading screens, glitches and disappointments, I decided that enough is enough HTC has let me down for the last time.

Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4
I'm sticking with the skyrocket as long as I can. It does everything I need and more! It'll depend on when the devs no longer support it.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4
If motorola makes it I'm probably gonna get that. Motorola phones usually have limited developing but they make a solid handset. If they make a nexus then it'll be the best of both worlds.

I want a phone with Samsung's new Youm Display soooo bad! But it's probably still going to take a couple years...

Yeah, I read that'll probably be on the s5. But that's just a rumor.

No contest. Xperia ZL, cuz the Z probably won't be going to the states, or S4 if u can wait
what ever its going to be, it has to have a min screen size of 4.5", removable battery, ext memory and lte
Re: Decision time... nexus 4, next nexus, or s4
I can't see myself with an Sony/experia phone.

Although the flex screen look awesome and has a better chance of less damage rate... I just don't fully see why that would make a difference in phone now Anti damage scratch scruff phone bezel definitely one for me lol

Perfectly happy with my rocket? Is there REALLY anything another phone can offer that's much better?
Nexus phones have updates.... And lesser hardware. S4? Who cares? Minor bump up really..
Save your money, buy a tablet, and keep your phone.

S4 is a minor bump? lmao I'll give u that nexus has better/more frequent updates but lesser hardware, the later being the main reason I steer clear of them.
<rant>
as for the s4 being only a "minor" upgrade, I know ur not under informed majick, but the new 13mp camera/sensor and exynos 5 alone make it A HUGE JUMP. Skyrocket to s3 is minor, hell I don't even consider it an upgrade with the same camera, MAYBE 15% CPU increase due to later architecture. But quad core big.LITTLE, with more power and better battery? Sorry but for me that's huge.

But what can you do with the power? Same thing you can do with the rocket.
More megapixels = smaller sensor. Not necessarily better.
And the bigger battery? You are going to need it with the increased power demands of the quad core.
So it runs games faster... But I don't have ANY lag on my rocket.
Heck- my rocket is probably 20% or more faster than my kindle fire 2 tablet.. But the games run subjectively the same..
