So im in the talks of trading my SGS3 for an Intuition. I'm curious to see how that phone would be on a daily basis. But im afraid I'll regret the decision. I know this forum will be based. But im reaching out to my fellow XDA addicts for their input.
Let me know what you think about it.

To each is own, but I'd prefer the s3.

I've really been looking at doing the same. It's hard to get decent opinions because most people say it's bad but have never even seen one irl. One of the big problems I have is it will probably never see a custom rom besides root. It's also a rather old phone but it can still play pretty much any game and handle anything. I played with one at verizon and it had some lag but I'm not sure if it's the launcher or not. Kinda bugs me also because I know I'll lose the stylus and it's just a normal stylus you can buy off amazon for like $2 (nothing like a s pen). I will probably buy one to try it, I can see myself possibly loving it or totally hating it, I doubt there a a middle ground.

Same here. I've only played with one in verizon. I'm just afraid of the width hindering it in my daily use. That includes fitting comfortably in my back pocket.

Who keeps their phone in their back pocket...trololol. That's where my mom puts her phone. She's dropped three in the toilet and sat on two others and still hasn't learned.

Well I've never broken a phone and I've always done that since my first smartphone. The Palm Treo 755p. Lol. I'm more careful with my phones and now that phones are getting bigger and bigger you don't feel them as much when you carry them in the back pocket because it just feels like a wallet or something.

If you're into getting a bigger phone, I would hold for the Galaxy Note II. It's coming to Verizon, and is likely to see custom roms. I highly doubt the Intuition will see much. The phone seems solid, but LG has lately had problems with keeping up on Android updates (I'm looking at you, Spectrum). Samsung, while not perfect, shows more promise in rolling out updates.

Yea I'm really thinking about the note 2 as well but the format of the intuition makes it awesome for emails, Internet, pdfs ect. The only only place it lacks is watching videos, and it's S3 cpu which is like 2 years old already I just ask myself how often do I watch videos on my phone, not a ton how often do I email look up things on the Web? Probably 200+ times a day.
I probably still won't get it but I'd love to see them make one (and release it in the us) with better specs and fore thought across the board and I'd be on it

THANK YOU! At least one person said it.... If you cannot do anything to a phone besides rooting it then it won't be in my hands.... I have to have full control so I can optimize every aspect of my phone cause we all know the manufacturers won't and Verizon DEFINITELY won't! The LG is a pretty giant leap back so I would wait for the Note 2 or the possibility of another Nexus device but def do not go backwards... (Just my opinion)
If you don't really care about ever using a custom ROM then go ahead. Otherwise I believe the SGS3 has it beat in every category.
I wouldn't. The single biggest problem with the phone is the aspect ratio. Every single review points out how awkward the phone is with a 4:3 ratio.
I would NOT do it.
If you want a phablet, wait for the Note 2. I highly doubt many devs will work on the intuition. You'd get better development off the droid x2.

Battery life is dismal on the intuition also. Wait for note2.

Is LG considered a top brand now like Samsung or HTC, or are they still playing around in Huwai level standards?
What are their flagship devices - are they still just knock-offs of font runners or do they have their own developments as contenders?

I personally consider HTC, Samsung, and Moto on top Tier (for phones) and everything else way below on the DO NOT EVER BUY list

Well, looks like people will have to reconsider seeing as the next Nexus is made by LG.
Samsung Galaxy S3
Intuition has terrible battery life and an even worse camera. I do like the design but there's absolutely no way I'd trade my S3 for one. I'm also waiting on a phablet worthy of ditching my S3. Going to be the Note II probably. Not to mention Samsung has a ton of great tablet/s-pen features that can't be found elsewhere. One last thing is the stylus has no built in holder. You have to carry it separately. Deal breaker right there for me.

I forsee alot of people not getting the next nexus if thats the case.
Well my G2x is finally [email protected]#$ing the bed. im getting a Nexus 4 on Thursday (if they have it in stock, *Fingers Crossed), and putting a bullet in the G2x to put it out of its misery. I'm sure with the current charging issue i cant sell it anyway. and i have tried 3 different batteries, all original. I have tried flashing a few different roms, no change. It seems to discharge as it is on the wall charger even though it says it is charging, I have tried the OEM charger, my Bluetooth charger and my Nexus 7 charger (OEM - 500mA, Bluetooth - 700mA, Nexus - 2.0A). It happens even when underclocked. I think it has just over heated too many times and just needs to die.
For those that want to know I am making a video of the phone being shot, I dont have a high speed camera so dont expect a lot.
What really kills me is i have never dropped this phone or damaged it physically in any way, accept the small plastic piece between the charging port and the slot to open the back (pulled on the wrong part once). I used to love this phone until I started getting the SOD and it has been an uphill battle from there.
So anyway I would like to thank ALL of the devs that have ever worked on this phone. Your perseverance has been amazing, and I hope this phone gets the update is sorely needs. With my luck it will be the day I get the new phone (some thing happened with my Droid LOL).
It's rumored Google will be releasing an updated nexus for mid May (google IO is in a week). I thknk it'll be LTE and have more storage. Probably worth it to wait for it.

Thanks for the info but my area doesn't even support proper 4g, T-Mobile has there phones say 4g but its just HSPA (given there version of 4g is HSPA+). In any case I'll have a week to return the phone anyway. The whole reason I even bought this phone was for the specs, I refuse to do that again. I'm going with what I know is good and what people have had good experience with. Some nexus devices have issues too ( look at the galaxy nexus on Verizon)

Just letting you know since I got my nexus 7 on launch, then they updated it with more storage that's also faster in a couple months. Not a big deal, but it's right around the corner.
My biggest problem with the nexus 4 is that apparently the audio out isn't very loud, meaning I'd have to grab an ipod on top of it.
I'm thinking I'll either grab a nexus 4 and an ipod or just see how long I can last on this phone and grab the next nexus (if I don't throw this out a window).

I waited for my 32gb nexus 7 only because I knew it was coming ( I worked at staples) and that I could use all that storage . I don't care about the speaker and I use a zune because I have over 42Gb of music. BUT all of that is on Play Music so I use that but it kills the battery. But the point of the matter is my phone is breaking and I would like to get it, its only $50 at T-Mobile with the added $17 to my bill for the 16Gb.

OP enjoy your new Device....
Hey, so after 2 years I will be moving to the S4, I was just wondering if any of u were coming with me?
i might move to the note 3 when it comes out
I've looked at it but decided it to be overly expensive. It's around $700 unlocked (probably grey market no warranty), just too much for a phone especially when my SGS4G still operating just fine. I did some calculations for "subsidized" phones with plans, but they can be even more expensive, around $800 over 2-year contract. I did the comparison with a $45 single line unlimited everything StarightTalk service, final cost over 24 months.
There are rumors that Nexus 4 LTE will be announced in few days during Google I/O, I'll wait to see what comes from that.
Yeah... my brother's getting a SGS4 (moving off of his old Nexus One or something else similarly painful) but my SGS4G is still doing well, albeit chomping through batteries on an increasing pace. May join you eventually, but for now... Eh, our devs are awesome.
I will be as soon as my contract ends this month. I will just keep my sgs4g as a back up but it will be nice to finally have a freakin LED flash lol

Yea I will too! Actually, I already did! ;D its so freaking EPIC!! And the screen...so beautiful. If u are moving phones, u won't be disappointed. I am gonna miss this forum tho...the SGS4G was my first smartphone. And the community will never be the same as this one. It has been a great 2 years with the SGS4G. Thanks to everyone who made it an awesome phone and I hope development keeps on going forward. I'll still visit every once in a while though just to see how things are doing.
My phone got washed in the washing machine by accident 2 days ago, so I went to Tmobile and got the new s4 today.

I don't know how many of you have heard this rumor but supposedly there will be a Galaxy S4 version running stock AOSP. It's supposed to be announced tomorrow at Google I/O. If they price it the same as the Nexus 4, I'm getting the S4 Google Edition instead. I'm in need of a new phone.
http://www.geek.com/android/samsung-galaxy-s4-google-edition-to-be-announced-at-google-io-1555174/
New phone means that I don't need my SGS4G to be operational, which means that I will be doing a lot of deving on it this summer. !
Yes, I saw that rumor. Will it be less expensive than the Samsung S4 version?

Hopefully we'll know later today... . I'm so stoked I'm actually programming for the sgs4g!
My guess if Google really moved from LG to Samsung with their Nexus phone it will not be exactly the same as S4. Most probably it will not have MicroSD, the battery will not be easily swappable, and I doubt they install FullHD screen to keep the price low enough to match the Nexus line. But we'll see, still may become a good choice.
Well, it is confirmed today with a starting price of $649 for the 16gb version.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium
For an unlocked off contract phone that's not that bad. However, those of you that have the ATT S4 should just wait for the Google model to drop. That ROM should be a pretty easy port to the ATT version.
The s4 is currently on sale at att online only for 29.99. The lady on the phone gave me an early upgrade+free overnight for it. http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/devices/samsung/galaxy-s-4-16gb-black-mist-refurb.html
If you cancel early, might be a good way to get a S4 somewhat cheap. Nothing will beat the 50% glitch that happened last month though.

I just ordered one as well. I was really trying to see what kind of deposit I thought I'd have to pay. They've always asked me for one. I was surprised & they approved me this time. I even got an iPhone 4 w/ 8 Gig for .99 cents.
I went and got it because of this deal. I really didn't want to upgrade yet, but my Nexus S is really starting to show its age (bless its heart). Custom ROMs can only take you so far with a device that old. I really don't want an S4 (hardware buttons including the ugly physical home button, front Samsung branding, little dev community support compared to my Nexus S), but the deal was too good to pass up. I guess I could sell this for $400-450 (maybe more?) by the time the next Nexus phone is out. Anyway, I can't wait for it to arrive so I can experience some of that 1080p Gotdamoled goodness. I may even keep it if the bootloader situation and community support gets better.

I see, you seem to think I was talking about the community. I wasn't. I was badmouthing Samsung. In regards to the community, I was simply stating the current situation of things. The community support for this phone, in which there's not much going on, is a result of Samsung's and the carriers' doing.
I'm not sure how what I said could be misinterpreted to mean I'm bad-mouthing any entity other than Samsung. Calm down, read, and stop looking for something negative.

I am starting to loose faith in the brands to produce a phone that's both of a high quality and runs well. I own 3 flagships. (As you can see in my signature.) Today I have almost lost faith as I put each device side by side. The nexus 5 I have already had to return due to screen issues, and the Z1 instantly seems like a fingerprint magnet, lets not even mention the anti shatter film and the yellow tints. Finally the one device I can't keep my hands off, the note 3 - is amazing - but why is such an expensive phone made so cheaply? I thought the metal bezel would be stainless steel, or some cheap form of metal, but sprayed on chrome know to chip and scratch easily? This is a phone worth over £500... The price of a car.. What was Samsung thinking? Now I know everyone has different tastes, and some of the problems I've mentioned won't bother others... But can someone please point me in the direction of a company that makes QUALITY products. I don't care about price... I need a phone that just works....

I will credit the Nexus 5 with being the best of the 3 IMO. Minus the screen problems, the dead pixels and the noise cancelling feature cancelling my own voice its quite good...

Well Apple makes GREAT products. I had been an iPhone user from the 3g up to the 5. They make great quality phones as far as build. Even the plastic 3g was a nice sturdy build. But unfortunately their OS is to locked down and boring for someone who is majorly tech savvy like myself. Which is why I took my 5 back and got the Note 2. It's cheaply made but does everything I need and then some. The iPhone couldn't.
The problem I've noticed with Android phones is you can get a nice sturdy build with a nice look (like the HTC One) but the version of the OS sucks because the manufacturer or the provider or both. Or your forced to be stuck on a crappy version of ICS or JB with no chance to upgrade.
If your looking for a phone that just works with a great quality build. And don't care about customization and certain features you would get with Android, like keyboard swiping for instance, the iPhone is a great phone.

Thank you DedZed, most people would have had a go at me and been defensive of their devices but thank you for being honest and offering advise. When you've spent over £1200/$1959 on 3 phones that don't quite work to my expectation's you can imagine how frustrated I am :/

Oh I hear ya~!! I unfortunately at one time was one of those guys. Major Apple fan. I would say go to your local Apple dealer or provider and play with the iPhone and ask any questions you may have about the device. That way you're not wasting money if you don't like it.

If you don't like Sense, you can get a HTC One Google Edition.
You can't update your HTC One? What are you talking about? As far as quality build phone goes I'm VERY VERY VERY satisfied with my Galaxy S3 LTE (Black edition). It droped face-up, face-down, I'm constantly playing with it, keep it in pocket with Zippo (Guilty) and stuff...and it hasn't got a scratch on the places that matter (The back cover is easily replaceable, tho the new one wont have the LTE logo on it)....Even though I'm thinking about replacing it with black S4 (just because of the wider display and camera), this phone is a warm recommendation from me.

I wasn't saying you can't upgrade the HTC One. I was using it as an example of a quality built phone.
I love all of the Galaxy series. They are a little on the cheaply made side but your right they do take a whooping pretty well. And unlike most people I like Touchwiz. Lol
The S4 is a really nice phone but if you wait a couple more months you can get the S5.

The S4 is a really nice phone but if you wait a couple more months you can get the S5.

Yeah...Well, I can imagine the price tag on the S5 (Knowing it will have 64bit ram, god-knows-how-much core processor, RAM and everything). I'm a student, so replacing my s3 lte with s4 isn't very big investment, but replacing it with S5 is gonna be pretty much impossible, unless I find some donor (wink-wink) I just don't know is S4 worth the money...I got my phone updated to 4.3 yesterday and oh baby its running so smooth... (tho in /system folder i have 200mbs left...dunno what I'm gonna do)

One of the features of 4.3 allows you to move apps to your sd card and run them from there so if you have an sd card you could do that. Or if you don't you get a 64gb one from Amazon for around $40.
The S3 is still a great phone but with the added features and faster processor makes the S4 a great upgrade candidate.
Also if your extending your carrier contract you would get the S5 for $200 minus trade in of your S3. As long as the carrier sticks to what they've done previously that is.

I think its a great time for brands and the options we have as customers
Oppo Find 5
Check out the OPPO Find 5 Phone. There is a really nice review of it on their site from Android Authory.
Let me know what you guys think!
I quit Samsung and bought a moto x. In my opinion it feels premium and runs the latest Android version pretty well.
You should try it.
