Hi all, as the title
I dunno is it the best time to go for Samsung Galaxy Nexus
but I really love it
because my current phone is LG optimus one which is my 1st android phone
furthermore, once I buy either 1 of them I don't want to change phone for 2year, so if get Nexus now, then get next 2 generation Nexus phone(same to other)
so which should I go ??
and also since MWC gonna reach, and sure got new phone announce
but after wait them announce, still need wait them release, and bring by either Samsung, LG, Motorola and other for my country for the original set
*i prefer original set than ap set(not sure other country got ap set or not)
so anyone please help me decide ><
thanks
Regards
Imo it's not worth the wait because the SGSIII will be like the nexus but with better internal specs which really isn't noticeable, unless you like to play games a lot on your phone or something.
SGS2 over the nexus if you can live with touchwiz or CM9. Benefit of a nexus line is that you get updates first and a true aosp rom.
SGS3 may be out Q2 or even Q3 if it gets delayed. Who knows what improvements it will bring.

If you're always trying to stay atop of the game, you'll be disappointed.
Go with the Nexus instead of waiting for the SGSIII.
At least you know you'll always have a dev community and at least Google support for years.
I would go for galaxy nexus instead of waiting. I hate waiting for new phones. I think, if you have a good phone, it will remain good although a new one was released in next months
If you don't mind Touchwiz and love specs, probably the S3. But if you want the fastest updates and can't wait get the Galaxy Nexus. It's impossible to stay on top of everything in the mobile space unless you got a bunch of cash to burn. If you keep waiting there will be more developments but at what cost?

but at my country got G and non G version, which is I9100 and I9100G
if want I9100, must buy ap set, otherwise original set = I9100G
as I said on 1st post, I prefer original set
although is same, but personal opinion
furthermore, S II too common already
dunno what to choose between S II and Galaxy Nexus now ><

*S II I feel too common in my country, furthermore got I9100 and I9100G, both different version
if I get S II I sure get I9100 to play the custom rom, kernel and tweak, but the disadvantage is just got ap set =_=
original set all is I9100G which less dev support at all
headache already

I can wait, but dunno is it the best time to buy phone or not
furthermore, if I wait at least need to wait half year
and now I consider either buy S II or Galaxy Nexus ><
anyone can help ??
I'd wait for the SGSIII because of better specs but I think that the TouchWiz interface that Samsung will surely slap on there will spoil it for me. You can always flash another ROM though.

Yes the Nexus has it. You should go for the Nexus. Both phones are basically equal specs wise, but the Nexus is always going to be special. Also, if you want an SGSIII when it comes out the Nexus will hold its resale value better than the SGSII.
Galaxy S or SII its the best, because is android and is really solid material is SAMSUNG and is great.

There is a great camera comparison between the 2 phones. If camera is your MOST important feature, I would go with the SGSII. If you like AOSP and the Nexus line, go with the Nexus. With the review though, the cameras aren't that far apart, and the Nexus takes better pictures with the flash. I personally have just bought a Nexus.

since the price not much difference in my country @@
Hello XDA,
I am having a hard time deciding between this Tablet and the Nexus 7. what are your thoughts. How do you like this device? Thanks All in advance.
Already got my Tab 2 on CM10 so the Nexus 7 16gb is not that tempting as a purchase! But if I was in the market to replace, would go for the Nexus 7! But would hold off as word is that the 16gb is being replaced by a 32gb model for the same price! Like the Nexus range! Pure Google! Pure Android! No waiting a year for updates! Looking forward to upgrading my Galaxy Nexus to the new LG Nexus 4! My tab will follow suite if the 32gb rumours are true!

I chose the GTab2 7.0 because I insisted on an external microSD card and wanted the back mounted camera. But the Nexus 7 is, by most accounts, faster with higher resolution and has plain Jelly Bean. All depends on what is important to you. I went to some stores and tried them. I'm happy with what I got.

Not to mention the ability to slip in a 3G sim card and use the GTab2 7.0 (P3100) as a cell phone! That was the deciding factor for me...

I chose the Tab 2 7.0 due to 3G and rear camera. "Pure Google" is less important for me, as the Tab 2 is proving popular enough to have CM10 and AOKP support. (I use AOKP.) My Tab 2 is also my first Android device, so when I get to know Android better, maybe I would go for something higher end or an Android phone. (I got a ThinkPad Tablet after I got the Tab 2, but I'm not sure how good it is since I got it for free, and all I did was power it up and upgrade it from 3.1 to 4.0.3.)
I also bought a 32GB MicroSD card to put in my Tab, but it's still in the packaging since I don't really do a lot of video watching or anything that needs so much memory. :silly:
tab2 7.0
just got tab2 and its far more useful in daily usage than nexus7. that camera and samsung appls makes a huge difference.
Reason #1: N7 isnt available in my country (IN)
But I could buy online for 16-17k INR, instead I got tab 2 for 19.2
Reason #2: 3G!
Makes all the difference in the world.
so in that budget its: s3, one x, note, the old nexus or one of the xperia ones
any ideas?
things that's impotent:
32 gb or sd card
good camera
plenty of roms to change
i would love if it has paranoid rom
thx in advance for the help

IMO GOOGLE NEXUS 4 is the best choice.
Because its from Google.
I think SportX J2 is a nice choice.It is Water Proof and its cup is Qualcomm msm7227 800MHZ.I want to buy one but it is a little expensive.It costs $589.59....
NEXUS 4 costs 560$ (in my country) and it has only 16 gb
and SportX J2 is way out of the budget and wont run the ubuntu os in the future
but thx for the help, i thing that i'll just wait 2 months for the new lineup of phones from the CES so the prices will drop a bit more on the other models
Get a nexus 4 anyways.
I would suggest you wait for this year's lineup of smartphones

Development for the S5 however will be much and much more active than for the Note 3, you can be sure of that. So if you`re looking for that, there will be more to pick from there. I hope we`ll get the S5`s TW and UI too for the N3
To the OP, I'll say just take the size into consideration. If you want a bugger display (and the S pen) go for the note 3. If you want something more manageable with one hand, go for the S5. Both solid devices,you can't go wrong either way.

I think its a great phone so far. Running JackyAway rom and Lean Kernel and performance and batterylife is excellent. And its 32GB instead of the S5`s 16GB storage. Plus the bigger screen is a joy to the eyes

True.
There's a ROM called hyperdrive for the T-Mobile US Note 3 that gives the S5 theme and system UI. Because of that ROM I'm strongly considering going back to the note 3....for a fourth time!

Yeah let's hope, it looks much better than the older touchwiz IMO.
I do like bigger phones but I like the S5 size, its perfect. I have 2-3 weeks to decide before I buy the device so I'll think about it.

I am lucky enough to be able to get an upgrade this week and was planning on doing it Feb 27th. I have plans on getting the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 because I have been told its the best phablet/Android large device etc.
HOWEVER, with the announcement of the S6 on March 1st...opinions on if I should wait and get the S6 or will the Note 4 still be larger and superior?
I prefer the series over the note series. So I suggest wait. But of you are eligible for an upgrade on the 27th why not wait until the note 5 is released? What are you working with right now?

LG G2 Almost 2 years old.
Well, I personally would wait. Eligible for an upgrade from my s5 and I'm just waiting for the s6. It's really your choice.
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
i would at least wait until the announcement on march 1st before making a decision...
Well, they are in two different market segment. Note 4 got 5.7" screen and S6 got 5.1"(may even down to 5" this time). If you real need a large screen, you have no choice but only Note4.
Personally, I will pick S6 because the camera will be improved and got RAW and manual shutter speed mode. Though the Note4 camera is already superb and very very enough for daily use. If you don't need that "Pro" mode in s6, then the camera in both phones are almost same to you.
I will suggest to wait 1st March and see what will happen but don't expect it on sales earlier than 22th March according from leaked information.

no wait for Note 6 :laugh:
If you can wait then wait. For now I am using a Note 4, just upgraded from S3. It's a great device. It's still worth buying a note 4, but waiting and getting to know what does S6 or S6 Edge (if available) has to offer will be a better idea.
I didn't know S6 will be coming this soon, or else I would have waited, but since I got the note 4 I am still happy because it is better than all the other samsung devices for now.
Every new flagship device is great until the next flagship device releases with better specs than our device.
Just sold my Note 4
Wait for S6. So you can test all you want and compare side by side with Note 4.
yess better wait
however S series are so much more focused on
If you want a big screen note 4 if you want a small screen perhaps S6.
That said if sammy really did away with ext sd card support thats going to be a sore spot with many i would think...something to consider.
Id wait and see what happens...unless of course u want the bigger screen.
