I'm upgrading next month

Its been 2 years since I had my nexus. It was a great device and didnt really feel dated to me until this year. I already have my iPhone 5, so I guessim going to use this upgrade for a galaxy note 2. But my question is, what do you think would be the best successor to this device? I'm not sure if I'll even hack at this point anymore because my house now has WiFi and using my cell as a hotspot was main point.

Nexus 4, the 16gb version, it's less expensive and has better suport. The one looks cool now but vhen the s4 comes it vill just ne another htc, whereas the nexus is still The Nexus!

i guess the N4 comments are from people that didn't read he has SPRINT!!! Note2 seems to be the popular one of course... send me a PM, when you're ready to upgrade... i might have a hookup for ya

Got nexus4, note 2 , galaxy tab 2 7.0, 10.0 and note 10.1, tf300t , nexus 7 and GS 2.
I say go with note 2, small enough to fit into or pocket, not bulky to play games on it, closer to handheld console than large tabs, not too small. I love the spen.
Bottom line. If I could take only one device. Note 2 would let do all that I would wanna do in both phones and tablets.

thinking of returning 4 n7

I got a note 8 last Monday I'm thinking of returning it to get a nexus 7
What do you guys think.
would you guys .

No, got mine yesterday and love it. But I'm also doing graphic design so the pen is awesome.

I came from a N7 to this. Love this. The N7 is OK but this one in terms of speed blows it out of the water. That and the fact there are a lot more accessories for this (in my country at least) make it a no brainer. The only downside is my wife loves it more than the N7 as well and has already installed her games so it looks like I wont have it when I am at home

I prefer the Note 8 over the N7, so for me the choice is clear. I like the pen, speed, and screen size of the Note.
A new N7 with a 7.7 inch screen is supposed to be released soon though. If you are thinking of returning your Note I would suggest you look at the upcoming nexus, not the old one. Of course this all depends on your needs so you be the judge.

I too came from a nexus 7. The Note 8 is way better. Speed, memory card slot, screen clarity, screen size, pen, etc. Bear in mind that the on screen buttons on the nexus make the screen seem even smaller. Then the difference in size between a 5 inch phone (gaLaxy s4) and a 6.x inch nexus seems pointless.
The 8 inch screen on the Note is awesome.

The only advantage the N7 has over this thing is price. So unless that couple of hundred makes a difference between you being homeless or having a roof over your head, the GR8 is the better choice.

My wife has the N7 and it is a very nice tablet running stock android which I definitely prefer. We both have S3 phones. Wifes phone is stock, I'm rooted running cm based roms. If I could mesh the two tablets and get cm on the GN8 like my phone with all the functionality that Samsung has baked into touchwiz I would be in heaven. That being said the GN8 is still better than the N7 in all other aspects even running touchwiz.

I had an N7 for a few months but gifted it away. I never stopped missing it. For me, it was the perfect size (for home, not for work). I find the Note 8 just a tiny bit too big and heavy. But I need it for taking notes. The s pen and a slightly larger screen is a must for me at work, so the Note 8 is my preferred device. For now. If the next nexus 7 is released with a shell that is no bigger and no heavier than the old N7, but with the promised higher than retina ppi, I will buy it. I really like the iPad 3 for the high ppi screen, but wanted something smaller and just slightly higher ppi for reading and a less boring OS. And the next N7 is rumored to be just that. At half the cost of the Note 8, I think it is a much better buy for people who don't need the s pen. But if you need to take notes, the N7 is just too small.

I had a Nexus 7 and got the note 8. I have never missed the 7 one moment. I can only think of all the reasons the note is Better!

I'd consider trying the N7 out for a bit. GN8 has it beat it every way.

Both are good. However, i prefer Note 8 more than Nexus 7 as it has high speed and larger screen. Still, it depends on you, which is more comfortable for you.

Hi,
Its depend in you personally .
but to reach the right choice , you should think of :
- what you DID NOT like in Note8 !!
- what did you miss off Nexus7 , that no more available in Note8 !!
Personally , I had Nexus7 , and now I got Note8 .... I like & enjoy Note8 .. It give me more

So when the new nexus 7 came out, I got it. But returned it and went back to the note 8. The extra inch is what made the difference for me

I hear the nexus 7 has a whole slew of issues with multitouch and after having owned a Transforer Prime, I'm weary of buying another tablet manufactured by Asus.

There's a real price difference between the two devices. I say $150 is not worth it for the average consumer. I like reading often so the annotation capabilities are really a plus for me.

It's $329 at staples and you're not limited to memory because of no SD card on nexus 7. It then becomes $70 difference for better quality, s-pen, extra inch, and Haptic feedback

I loved the old N7, but the N8 is a superior device. I was tempted to pick up the new N7, but just can't justify it. I still think the N8 is a better device.

Not to be rude but you should of already known that everyone on this side of the forum will say "of course you made the right decision" and the Z1 side will more than likely oppose.
I never played with the Z1 but the main highlights of the Nexus 5 is the affordable price for pretty decent specs, speedy updates from google and Dev support! Hopefully you'll enjoy your new purchase/trade.
sent from my neXus 5

I agree with OuncE, but so you have some opinion on the matter... i came from the Z and the Z1s, after that. If the z1s had an unlockable boot loader and was slightly cheaper, i probably would have kept it, but Ultimately the price, customizability and mostly comparable specs pulled me to the nexus.
USB otg has been a decent help with expanding the storage capacity, and custom kernels have great battery saving options. Beyond that, the Dev community and timely official updates make this phone pretty worth while, but that's just my opinion.
A parting piece of advice: you'll enjoy this phone more if you focus on what it can offer than if you focus on what it lacks.

HI my name is mark i just traded in my water proof,drop proof sports car for a sports car that isn't water proof or drop proof
did i do good?
Point is both of em have their good's and bad's the Nexus 5 will always be one step ahead of the game with updates
but personally i would have taken the Z1

Yes mate you have made the right move i did excactly the same as you and sold my z1 for the Nexus 5
Only wished I'd got the Nexus 5 to start with
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk 2

I would normally agree with the sentiment shared.
Though the nexus forums seen to tolerate G2 owners running in most threads knocking/comparing their choice to the N5.
This I've never saw in any other xda forum but this one. Just about makes me want to find another forum.
On topic, I think you did OK with your trade, might be a lesser costing phone, but the experience of plain android makes up for options imo.

You tell us if you made the right move.
We say yes because we all own the phone.

I would have kept the Z1. That phone makes me drool.

Thinking about

Trading my note 3 for a nexus 5 maybe galaxy s4 or 5
The novelty of a huge screen has worn off. Touchwiz is good but I don't use its features. I haven't had a nexus since galaxy nexus.
Is it worth it?

If you decide to trade for a S4 or a N5 then make sure to get cash with the trade. I personally came from the Note 3 & traded for a (brand new at the time) 32gb black N5 still in plastic, plus $150 cash & never looked back.
sent from my neXus 5

Imo HTC M8 > S5 by far. The N5 is the cheaper option but still a strong phone.
In the end it is you who needs to make the decision and who's gonna use the phone try to think about it for yourself, go in stores to try some phones. Whatever others on XDA or anywhere may say, the point here is that you get a phone that makes you happy, and only you know which one that is
Google Nexus 5

[Q] Will you upgrade to Nexus 6?

We know it around the corner....let me in yo minds XDXDXD

Depends on how better it is compare to N5.. But I might hold off bcuz the N5 is good enough for me now..

Yes, I am going to commit to upgrading to a phone that I know absolutely nothing about.

there no such device as a nexus 6. theres a new nexus, but its not a nexus 6. nexus 6 is from the movie blade runner, and owned by them. oh, and its not a phone.
