Hello. I want to buy one of these phones. Whitch should i buy? I wont use LTE, because my carrier doesn't support it. I dont really care about camera and I will be using spotify for music so I dont care about internal storage. But the most interesting thing is that Optimus G is cheaper than Nexus 4 in my country. So whitch should I buy?

They seem to be mostly the same: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=5048&idPhone2=4941
I'd go for the Nexus (if it's not that much more expensive), as it will surely get the next few updates.
whitch phone has better music quality?
Well the the Optimus G and Nexus 4 are basically the same phone internally except for a few things such as LTE ad a external sdcard. If you looking at how long your phone would be supported according to updates I would go for the Nexus 4 but if money is tight then go for Optimus G as it is literally the same phone. Overall if money isn't a problem then go with the Nexus 4 it is a good investment as you will be able to enjoy many iterations of android on it.

"The Google Nexus 4 audio output is virtually identical to that of the LG Optimus G. Hardly shocking, given that most of the circuitry inside is identical, but still pretty good news."
-GSMArena review
You can find it here:
http://www.gsmarena.com/google_nexus_4-review-860p8.php
I linked to the page with music quality tests.
The Optimus G spec sheet states that it includes "Dolby mobile sound enhancement", whereas the Nexus 4 doesn't. It might be more of a marketing term, though.
But I know how to install custom rom (I've done it hundreds of times with my atrix), so I can have latest android in optimus G too. I saw there is few stable roms for optimus G. So maybe thats the reason i should buy optimus G?
If you're into flashing - ROMs, that is - and the OG is cheaper, why not go with the OG? It's virtually identical to the N4, but has 32GB internal storage - there is no external SD card option.
I personally prefer the design of the N4, as it's more rounded and comfortable to hold than the OG. Also, I like knowing that I'll be getting updates straight from Google.
They're both great phones. Can't go wrong with either one.

Hi
I'm planning to move on from my SGS 2 to a newer model.. but I'm not able to make up my mind.
I'm interested in the 4G SGS 3 though I've been thinking about the next nexus phone from LG or the upcoming HTC One X+...
My current phone is working perfectly fine but I'm looking for a phone with more speed as well as with 4G/LTE..
Should I wait it out for early next year to have better choices or should I just go in for the SGS 3?
By the way, Samsung is my preferred manufacturer, followed by HTC.. I've no idea how LG phones are in terms of build quality, support, etc.
Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda app-developers app
Thanks.. I like the SGS3 a lot, though it's just so difficult to decide on one phone...
By the way, here in Finland, we have a deal going on for the Galaxy Nexus, with the current price of 370€ (http://www.verkkokauppa.com/fi/s?s=1&q=51397+or+23156) and is valid until next Monday 21.10 and this seems to be the best deal in Finland at the moment. The standard price is ~450€ I think...
Is there any sense is getting the Galaxy Nexus considering there are the newer Nexus devices coming up? In particular HTC “J Butterfly” Nexus 5 (along with the LG Nexus as mentioned previously)?
Thanks again. Cheers...
Edit: Also, regarding the processor, I'm no expert but from the reviews and reports, I see there are the Tegra 3 processors (like the one in HTC One X+) or the Qualcomm 'snapdragon' processors or Exynos processors and similar... Which is the better one? Should I chose a device that comes with a specific processor if I want to have a speedy, fast, high end phone?
And of course, I would like a manufacturer that regularly updates the OS without major delays whenever a new Android is being released...
Well I have the nexus, and that price is very very high. Ofcourse it is new from store but I have my nexus for 275 euro's. Second hand but only 6 month's old. Great phone but if I were you, I should wait for the gs4. Depends on how fast you need a phone, considering the gs4 is coming out in march 2013. If you can't wait I should definately buy the HTC one X+ or the GS3.

Thanks a lot.
I'm not in a real hurry to get a new phone as my current SGS2 is working great (and there is a possibility that JB will arrive soon for the SGS2)... But I just wanted to kind of 'upgrade' from the SGS2 to a more powerful, newer phone... Hence my questions regarding should I really wait (though I understand it's a kind of silly question considering how many new devices keep popping up every month) or just go in for a model such as the SGS3 or HTC One X+ that's been proven to be a great phone....
Basically I can wait for the new one.. I'm looking at having a new one by March/April 2013.
If you can wait just wait Mate, I know your feelings so many new phones but can't choose a good one and every time there is coming a new one out.

Work phone with an exact requirement/feature
Background:
I have just bought a Motorola Defy Plus. The reason I purchased it was - I wanted a phone that could allow me t record work calls and Defy Plus seemed promising as it enjoys good amount of support in the developers here and it was like very cheap. Now when I see the work involved in rooting and flashing custom rom I find myself not too sure about my capability of managing the whole process. Even if I do manage the rooting and flashing the custom rom, I still do not have any definitive information if call recording will be possible
New search:
Given the above now I am exploring any other phones that will allow me to take care of this requirement of recording my calls incoming and outgoing , without speaker, in the stock straight out of the box condition. Besides this particular requirement my usage of the phone is very mundane - some voice calls, minimal texting , little bit of email, no games , minimal camera, once in a while a couple of minutes of music if ever.
So if any of you can give me a suggestion i.e. which phone and which app - if you have a working combo - which will solve my problem shall appreciate it very much.
Cheers
Wait, even if the nexus devices aren't to your liking they are going to drive the price of current devices down. I have the SGS3 but sources / docs for exynos processors are sketchy so support isn't stellar. TBH if support matters go with nexus although you'll have to sacrifice sd support.

I would recommend the G3. You can wait for the next phone to come up but you'll find that there is always a new phone about to be launched so you can wait forever. I've recently transitioned to the g3 and enjoy it very much. Liked it a lot better once I rooted and put a JB rom on it.

Hello XDA ,
So I would like to know from your guys. I own a Samsung Star now and I want to get a new phone. This means my first ever Android phone that I will own (I have used Android before, but those where phones from friends). My question is which phone is the best pick to get.
ill use it mainly for apps (mainly games), whats-app, some internet when on wi-fi.
I personally was thinking about the Nexus 4 which is been sold for €450 here in the Netherlands. But what do you guys think? I would love to have Jelly Bean and a fast phone.
Go ahead and suggest me something but keep it under the Nexus 4 or at the same price as the Nexus 4.

Go with the nexus 4. I have it and it's definitely the best in the price range. It's so good in fact I've been thinking about selling my old phones to buy a nexus 4.

100% agree!
If I'd buy a new android phone (I'm sure it would be an android phone ) I would buy a nexus, too.
You'll get OS updates really fast and for quite a long time and you'll have a slim rom without bloatware.
Hope I could help!
Nexus 4 is an excellent choice.
Wait for the S4 or go with Note 2. The S3 is now a lot cheaper with the Note 2 out and the S4 being announced.

You are a perfect candidate for a nexus 4 Key lime pie will be out in a few months and you can bet the N4 will have it first.
If you know someone in the US, have them buy it for you. Much cheaper!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
The Nexus 4 is a great phone, but the two big things it lacks are an external SD card and removable battery.
Think about how you'll use the phone and if those things might be useful to you. I keep a lot of music on my external SD card so that it doesn't take space away from apps - I don't live in an area where I can just stream everything all the time, do you ?
If you plan on doing things with custom ROMs and such, an external SD card can be a lifesaver, too - and general convenience. But if you don't, the Nexus 4 might be a good choice since it will receive updates without you having to do anything.
Removable battery is nice because if you are buying off-contract, especially, you don't have to worry about babying the battery - the battery will lose so much charge per year no matter if you treated it perfectly. If you're not getting a subsidized upgrade, that might not be something you want to be stuck with. It's also nice to be able to carry a spare battery especially if you're playing games for an extended period of time (I carry one so I can play emulators between classes without having to worry "what if I don't go right home ?").
Nexus 4 is a great mobile but still there are few drawbacks of this mobile.
Consider other similar mobiles in the price range, S3, HTC, Sony etc
Look about this http://www.wikomobile.com/telephone-portable-Cink-Peax.php at €170
Yes, get the nexus 4 !!
Well , that depends what you like , right now the samsung galaxy s4 is the fastest phone , but not the most beautiful and the one who is better made. The most beautiful and the second fastest phone is HTC one , but this one doesnt have a sd card slot. Personally i will get the htc one with contract from vodafone , it will cost 300€ , its the first time i will buy a phone in this mode , but phones are getting bigger and bigger , and rumors already said that nexus 5 will get a 5.2" display. So every year phones get 0.2" bigger , so i will keep the htc until phones start to get smaller.
That was my opinion. Have a great year

How is the speed btw? Good enough for intensive apps? including games hehe
But I do agree the Nexus 4 is probably my pick but go ahead with suggestion. I already have 108 euros and need 450 so im getting there!!!
Really exited to get my first ever smartphone, android phone. Some of you might think that I am really behind stuff but he im 18 and didn't have the money first :crying: now I'm working hard to earn it so I can get a new phone :laugh:
I'd wait for the S4. I mean, the OS is pretty much the same with every phone, so what you really want to be looking at is specs.

Hello. I have an opportunity to take a 32gb model N5 or G2 for the same price. I need to know, which one will be better for the day use for my cases:
1) much phone calls (GSM + SIP calls)
2) music
3) e-reading
4) foto
5) web serfing.
Thank you.
P.S. I hope, people who will recommend me one or another phone, had the opportunity to test both devices.
If I were to get a phone right now it would be the note 3, but if you don't like the note 3 I suggest get a dumb phone and wait for the new phones to come out (2014) however if I was given the chance to pick a g2 or Nexus 5 if you are into flashing ROMs and development go with the Nexus 5, LG G 2 will seize development sooner or later however the lg g2 does have better specs it depends on preference.

Long and short - I'd wait for an international version.

I can't see what else the G3 would have over this, unless the bump up the resolution to QHD and offer a micro SD slot. Also people think this is to big of a phone. Besides that, maybe a bump in pixels on the camera to help with marketing. Besides that, don't see anything crazy. Only thing I wish this phone had, was stereo speakers like the Z2 or HTC one. That and a bigger battery. Still an amazing phone and love where you can shrink the screen for one handed use... Love it!

I can't tell you how excited I am to hear the thoughts that this camera is not only better in low-light as well as overall than the note 3.
I am disgusted in the note 3's both auto focus and low light performance.
For me it the best device out there, but with Note 3 on the same height. Both have almost identical hardware specifications. I chose the Note 3 because of the awesome S Pen included and the software around it. I love to draw, and I'm a Draw Something 2 addict...so yeah, Note 3 was a better choice for my needs. The S Pen is incredibly accurate and the floating dot without touching the display is perfect for drawing
Bought one last week. Love it. But be careful of the 4.4.2 Ext SD access problem. If you rely on your Ext SD a lot and don''t plan to root your phone, you probably should look elsewhere or wait for a fix/update.

It's the policy of Google since Kitkat. Don't like it - don't buy it, that simple
Even all Galaxy like S4 or Note 3 has this "bug"
The apps can now write only to external_SD/Android/data/appname folder, but can read any files from SD. So devs must update their apps to comply

I've had an Xperia L for at least 6 months now, but I'm really considering to sell it and buy a Moto G instead.
That's no question that the Moto G is a better phone, the only question is if it's worth selling my phone for ~$135 and paying an extra ~$70 for a used Moto G (but it's in a perfect condition).
70 bucks is not that much, but to me, as a student with no income it's enough money to consider what I spend it on.
I think I'm just curious if others would trade their phones or not, so I can reassure myself that I'm not doing something stupid, so would you rather buy a Moto G?

I'm the opposite, I have an 8 GB SD card, and it's completely empty. I only use the space for the apps, since every picture/video I take is immediately uploaded to Dropbox, and I use Spotify for music. Apps only use 1 GB on my phone, so even a 4 GB Moto G (if it existed) would never be full in my case.
nope i wouldnt
It certainly is better in terms of performance. But the look and feel of Xperia makes me attracted to it. On the long run, I feel Xperia L would be better. It looks better, and feels better. And i love SONY apps! So, i wouldn't even think about exchanging for G

Exactly! Moto G might be higher on in terms of performance and updates. Same with most phones out there. SONY might be lagging on the updates. And we might have some real cool KK ROMS. Loads of KK ROMS. But nothing like STOCK! No matter how much i play around with those stuff, i tend to fall back on STOCK SONY. That just brings me up higher!
Thanks for your answers, but even though most of you would choose the Xperia L, I realized the Moto G is better for me.
I don't need a microSD slot, I don't particularly like the looks of XL (but I don't hate it either, I'm neutral on this one), I virtually don't use any of the Sony apps, even the launcher, the icons and the navigation bar buttons are changed by some 3rd party apps . But probably my biggest problem with XL is that I find it uncomfortable to hold, because its bottom is so sharp. Even after only using it for just a couple of minutes, it physically hurts my little finger.
It was a good phone, I had it since 2013 October, but the Moto G is more for me than the Xperia L.
Glad to hear that. Please do feel free to change. hope you have a good time with the new phone.
Yeah good luck with ur new phone I know that there are loads of custom ROMs available as well for the moto G

Thanks for your answers, but even though most of you would choose the Xperia L, I realized the Moto G is better for me.

great decision my frend. :good: :good: :good: :good: :good: :good:
Yep, I would exchange my XL for a Moto G but... paying 70 bucks extra? Nah..
And congrats on buying a Moto G, I'm very glad that you didn't buy a Samsung product

I managed to sell the XL for a little bit higher, so now I just have to pay $50 for the Moto G, maybe it's still too much money for not that much of an upgrade, but I also found a good used Moto G, and I'd only have to pay an extra 35 bucks for that, which sound much better than the original $70 extra.
And I'll never buy a Samsung, you don't have to worry about that one
Go for it mate. Motorola provides clean updates(yeah it's getting 4.4.3 already), and overall it's a great phone with great specs. The only thing that bothers me is the 5mp camera, other than that the phone's perfect, just my opinion. By perfect I mean, Moto, provides it with good updates and it's got great specs for an affordable price, so hell yeah!
