I think there is a very good chance that the Nexus 5 will have a 5 inch screen or maybe even larger. Many of the SUPER PHONES that are about to be released such as the HTC DROID DNA is going to have a 5 inch screen.... and it is likely that Google will follow suit. In fact, I think the next Nexus will be produced by SONY.
Everybody in the industry has been given the chance the produce the Nexus device and so I think...SONY will have a chance as well..

I just want HTC back in the nexus line. They have an unmatched build quality

I think the next nexus will by their own - motorola.
For me, it will not matter whether the motorola and sony, but that was more polished than the nexus 4
They brought Motorola for a reason, future google devices will be Motorola.

if it is made by HTC or LG i won't be getting it. Samsung all the way! best devices on the market. period
It is even worth such a large display? A mobile phone should be such that it fits easily in one's hand ( iPhone 5 or s2 is perfect )
anything more than 5" should be counted as tablet. err. can you imagine? such a large phone keeping on your ears when on call?

*worst all laggy crap, sh!t battery life and ALWAYS beat by a Samsung phone. name one HTC phone that is better than a Samsung one. also HTC are in 5th place for best mobile of the year. Samsung in no.1 and no.2
yes
I think it is
Motorola FTW! Legendary radios and great build quality. Also the ability to cram giant batteries into their phones? Who can argue
Samsung is the most popular manufacturer because they are really great at marketing their phones, and touch wiz features are great for that. But the AMOLED screens they use simply suck, and too much plastic

wow, that's alot of crap phones.... just big ass batterys. the reason i like Samsung is cos one one device that has a quadcore a15 beat out a quadcore a9.... the nexus 4. the droid dna and optimus G have better cpu's but still lag and are slower then the s3. (UK) Samsung optimize the hell out of their phones, just like apple and google. HTC and LG and the rest of the small players just make the phone able to boot. that's it. and amoled? sucks? wel we amoled users don't have a yellow display

You probably will be happier with the s3, it will be the next Gen phone.
Get the note if you need a tablet phone or high Res screen for more icons on the app drawer or something. I'm gonna wait for the s3 just because of the flagship and the proper balance of features and size and weight

My uncle has the international version so I've had the opportunity to work on this device here and there. Using it daily really doesn't wind up feeling a ton bigger than the t989, only problems I've experienced are certain apps can't figure out if it's a tablet or a phone, so there's a fair amount of compatibility issues, but it's very slick.
But, and a big but, that phone is a Gen behind the s3

Gnex camera is bad apparently.
Both phones are powerful, very very powerful. If you're comfortable rooting it honestly doesn't make much of a difference and I'd go with the Skyrocket since out of three things you mention picture is one of them and I've heard complaints about Gnex camera.
Without the LTE its a bit disappointing though. In all honesty you're choosing between two high end android devices, you'll be perfectly satisfied with either. Given the fact you're on XDA you must be some what of a techie, so maybe GNex is your best bet. Try out the camera first though
Yep there is a white nexus.. its not on Google's site idk y. But tried camera and love it so far thinks its better then skyrocket to be honest I couldn't get good pics with SR

Yeah. It has a glossy finish which is why I prefer the titanium one.
Really depends on what your priority is. If you're in an LTE market, Skyrocket seems to be a better choice. As a SR owner I'm considering selling and moving to a Nexus. If you need your phone unlocked than consider a plus for Nexus since you'll save $20 there. As others have mentioned look into the camera, I however use mine once a month if that.
I guess biggest part is how much Dev support you need. Nexus will keep you flashing everyday of you so choose. SR options are a bit limited but those who have worked on it have done a fantastic job.

what!? ive been thinking about switching to Nexus since yesterday. Holy Crapple Crap!
How is it skyrockets screen is bigger? its 4.5 vs 4.65 Nexus. And nexus has 720p screen when skys is only 480p. LTe isnt important too me.. yes its super fast internet but i never found it useful. I mean if i had unlimited plan then Lte sure is nice but i have 300mb data and i find it enough for emails a couple pics and web. I used to have unlimited with ipoop 3G but my monthly usage was around 250mbs.
Does anybody knows if nexus front facing camera has auto focus?

I've had the one x for 3 months... And I haven't even rooted or anything ( unfortunately I'm on 2.20 ow and can't) but even so... I love this phone so much. I've been a diehard Android fan since the beginning (nexus one) and have always been in love... I have had the top of line phones since then, and until now, there's always been something missing.
Now, it performs exactly how I want to. Super fast, snappy, and never a hiccup. Not to mention I ALWAYS get through the day with charge and some left to spare. It phenomenal and the screen is gorgeous! I honestly can't think of a device that is more perfect! (Except maybe if I had jelly bean)
I don't even know the purpose of this thread I've created! Other than I want to rant about how awesome this phone is. Period. I'm done

All trolls..
My coworker and I switched phones for two days. He got my one xl and I got his s3. After using the s3 I didn't see anything that blew my mind. The screen was really disappointing after using the one x and it didn't seem any faster. Battery life was ok with the stock battery but didn't seem any better than the one x. Maybe it was just bad observation, but I think the one x actually got better battery life, at least using it for what I was. More of a portable computer than a phone. I text more than I call.
The one thing that drove me crazy was that physical home button. I don't know why they did that. Soft keys or even onscreen keys work such better in my opinion.
Funny thing was that after we switched phones back, he turned his screen on and said, "I am going to miss that screen. It's amazing."
All I all they are pretty close to each other, but if you spend a lot of time staring at the screen of your phone like I do then the one x is the better phone for you.

I'm working in a Tele2 shop in my home town (mobile provider) and I've tested both phones. Both are high end phons an both have pros and cons. It's just a mater of opinion, and personal taste. I have the one and I'm really into it,feels better in my hand, better screen in my opinion and does not give the feel of plastic in my hand. So every one should buy what is good for them regardles of what other peopla say.

If Apple came out with a 4.5"+ screen I'd go back to Apple in a heartbeat. Alas they fail to listen to the crowds who want 720p+ and higher screen PPI or larger screen.
well my backup phone is a note 2, but I won't see going with a sideways exchange so would wait for a note 3 if anything if upgrading when it comes out

When I bought my S4A, I did so under the premise that it was only meant to hold me over until the Nexus 5 (or whatever the next one will be called) came out. However, I'm finding that I really like this phone (once I rooted, made some necessary tweaks, and got rid of all the bloatware).
Now, I'm thinking that the next Nexus is going to have to really sell itself to pull me back. Of course, if the next update irreparably removes my root and cancels all my changes... then the N5 will be looking shiny again.

I used to use MoDaCo on my old HTC One which (I then swapped for the Note 3 (still have it) and I have an N5 now), had the option of flicking between Sense and GPE - It worked, but as posted further up development isn't that great for the One.
