Nexus has better hardware and better support.
SGT has larger screen and expandable memory.
I'd go for N7

N7. If I was choosing I would definately go for the Nexus

If its any indication, I sold my Galaxy Tab 2 for the Nexus.

lol?
thats the last thing in this world i'd buy
i want a microsoft surface when it comes out,
i have enough cash with me right now to buy a nexus 7 but i still long for a sgs3

Nexus 7 because of newer features.

Nexus 7
Nexus 7 for having better processor.

iPad 3 for bigger screen.

Nexus 7 if you want Android updates that bring better features.
I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it's still on Android 3.2 honeycomb.
It's one of the reasons that I bought this nexus. My future android devices will all be nexus.

If you dont mind having a smaller screen go for the nexus 7 i have a galaxy tab but its really slow also nexus 7 has jellybean and will recieve future updates before the galaxy tab (if they ever get an update) i really hope google makes a 10.1" version of the nexus, hope i helped

TY
Thanx for your reply guyzz!
I will definitely go for n7!

Can all questions about buying phones or a comparison between phones be posted in here please?
This is just an idea so it makes these forums easier to deal with.

hi jainkashish96! for me is nexus 7 for same reasons of choosing galaxy nexus. it's google's "official" tablet, full support, fresh updates with no long waiting, no limitation caused by other company and olso an nvidia kay! i think Kay is one of the best idea for mobile world, especially for tablets . don't forget the dimension, perfect for me, a good compromise.

Nexus 7 for sure Go for it

take a look at this, http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/28/nexus-7-review/ and keep in mind function like google now that is million times better than s-voice that personally consider an app/service that samsung had to add for upcoming voice assistant services, but is only a s**** app on a device, badly developed

interessant question i have the same problem do you want hel pme please?

Are you sure' I have doubt.. I don't know what to do really... mmmm

[Q] My first smartphone is getting old.

Hi boys, and girls
As my 2 year contract on my carrier, is getting to the finish line, i want to get something new. (I will keep my small litle muscle phone O1 as a second phone )
At the first i wanted the galaxy nexus, because of the great software support, and the developement, in our xda forum.
Then suddenly i saw the new Optimus 4x, but, there is one but. There is no developement in here, because of locked bootloader
I really don`t know what to take. Thought about the Xperia S, but nope.
The phones what i need to choose from , are - 1. Galaxy nexus
2. Optimus 4x
Maybe Acro S ?
Maybe some other suggestions?

Maybe the new LG Nexus? It'll be $399 on Google Store unsubsidized according to rumors.

Yeah, but it will not be available in my country for a while.

seeing how often google release OS.
I will stick to nexus device for fastest OS update
I love my Google experience device motorola xoom running AOSP jelly bean

Yeah. I think I'd go for the new nexus phone. Just wait for a lil while

I think getting a new LG phone is a waste, Anything other than a galaxy nexus is.
The new android OS? Availably from day 1.
Every app is tested on that first, which means closer to no bugs.

I think that i will take Galaxy Nexus. Just because of software support, developement. The performance is also o.k No need for 4 cores.

You wont regret it go for it. I still use my Cappy for gaming, music (voodoo sound).
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium

I kinda wish I didn't sell the cappy... my gs2 isn't very efficient as a music player; the battery drains like no other. But I needed the money to justify buying the gs2.
I decided I'm probably gonna jump ship to a nexus and skip the gs3. That is, unless the gs4 is a better option and comes out in time for my upgrade. Lol I've been entering every single phone giveaway in existence, but no luck there.

Got my Cappy fired up right now. Listening to Pandora and checking out XDA. Use my Cappy for multi media only....running AOKP Milestone 1 and the standby battery life is fantastic!!

Nexus just seems like the way to go. While there is no shortage of a ROM community for cappy, the nexus is way more impressive.

The differences of being a Nexus device more than makes up for any minor advantages other devices have. As far as I'm concerned, the only Android devices worth buying are Nexus devices.

Wait what!? Mikeymike that ends up with a iPhone Didn't expect that.
And while Nexus devices are quite nice, there are plenty of other devices that are quite worth it. Imo, it mostly depends on the user. (Of course, we all have our own opinion)

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.

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..

Sell Nexus 5 and get Galaxy S5 ?

What do you think about Galaxy S5 ?
Is it worth alternative for a future upgrade ?

No
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It's a downgrade in my opinion. Touchwiz is really, really bad.

It depends what you want to do with the phone.. Are you trying to run custom Roms. Root has been achieved, but not sure if Knox will be cracked to get to the bootloader.. I would wait and see how it goes. The new HTC one may be a better route. I know you can use bootstrap to run customs Roms. I just don't think they run as good as when you have an unlocked bootloader.

I played with an S5 in Best Buy yesterday. Definitely a downgrade. It's still stuttery like other galaxy phones, the new touch wiz leaves a lot to be desired. The only thing in my opinion that the s5 does better than the nexus is the camera. The only thing I personally would upgrade to would be the new HTC one at this point. I played with one of those too, very nice.

do you really want to change your $350 phone for a $600+ phone with nearly the same specs, some more gimmicks and a fugly UI? what will you use the extra 200MHz for? you wont feel the difference between the N5 and S5. well, maybe the N5 will feel smoother, since the new samsung crap UI appears to be choppy at some points. Quite honestly, after all the issues I had with samsung, I'd never consider going back to their devices. nuh uh.

If I got an S5 for free, I'd sell it then buy the Nexus 5.

you'll get better response if you ask in G5 forum

Seriously. The spec upgrade is so minor and touchwiz sucks. Why not get 300+ dollars in the bank and still stay top of the line?

Samsung can cripple any device`s speed with TW, i like Sense 100 times better tbh.

i have both a n5 and a s4. sure, by specs, the s4 holds its own, and appears to be better than the n5. but in reality, even with the s4 optimized and all the crap disabled, the s4 tends to lag and stutter. it feels like a phone from a few years ago, by the amount it tends to stutter. it doesnt feel like a phone with the specs it has. the n5 truly blows it away with real time use.

I had S4 GE in past and now on Nexus 5. They are exactly the same in terms of software.
The only downside, a new version of Android comes earlier to Nexus than to GE device.

How a snapdragon 600 can be better than snapdragon 800 ???

First, do what you want....we can't decide for you. ?
Second , it seems its getting harder and harder to play with new phones....some may never see root, or there will be complicated hack ways to root. Yes, many have dev type editions....but development for them is slow and limited. (Like moto x say)
So, if you like flashing and playing, the only sure bet now days is a nexus. If you can live with a quiet or non existant development community..... Then there's lots of great phones on the way or out. ?
