Samsung Galaxy S3 or LG Nexus 4?

I'm going to buy a new smartphone and I'm between the S3 and nexus 4.
I'll be glad to hear for some opinions!

Here we go again.

S3

nexus 4, cheaper and got pure google android experience and look

I'd go with the nexus 4... can always be sure that it gets the latest android version. Concerns with nexus 4 if you need a lot of storage... only has 16gb. (I prefer 16gb all local vs. having an emmc) Also some are concerned about the glass backing. (I wouldn't be TOO concerned w/ the glass backing... you could throw a case on it... I also heard of the possibility of different back panels). Any benefits the GS III provides would be offset by the price imo.

Guys have you'll seen the New Benchmarks for the N4? Crazy! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1977708
Go with the Nexus 4 If you dont mind 16 GB and the glass cover being fragile!

Then you'd be feeling wrong .

Its a no brainer. Galaxy S3 has got a lot more to offer.
But everyone has a personal preference, right?

Go for the Nexus 4 if you don't need storage more than 16GB. else Nexus 4 all the way.

Oh I am definitely switching to the Nexus 4! I am sick of this non-updated pos phone nonsense. November 13th can't come quick enough!

I sold my desire for £75 and will easily get £200 for the one S. Yeah, i want the updates faster!!

Thanks but no, I'll stay with the One S.
When I bought it two months ago, I wanted a 4,3'' screen, a slim device device, and a gorgeous design.
According to me, the Nexus 4 has none of this things.

Walmart & Nexus 5

Will Walmart be selling the nexus 5? How would that even work? ( i still have the old plan *classic plan*) when i did my last upgrade this year (one time payment) $168.99 for the galaxy S4 (T-mobile) and i continued with the old plan now my mom is due for an upgrade I'm gonna give her my s4 and use the upgrade for the Nexus 5... But has anyone heard anything about Walmart carrying the Nexus 5?
Thanks in advance.. =]

My guess is that they will. I'd say look for something around Christmas or maybe black Friday.

Just saw Nexus 5 boxes in a Black Friday commercial but they didn't specifically mention it.

Just called my local Walmart and they said they don't do T-Mobile contract anymore... Just pre-paid... ={ but they said they have no idea about the nexus 5... Has anyone else called??

Well....

I actually work at Walmart. No, we won't be carrying the Nexus 5. If we do, it would only be through Sprint.

Nexus 5 from Japan?

Hello all,
I am currently using a Nexus 4 and I'd love to buy the new N5...I got a nice offer from a guy who tells me he is having a friend who can get me a N5 imported from Japan.Its the D821 model which works fine in my country.I've got two questions since the price I'm given is exactly the google play price and doesn't seem like he is having any profit out of this deal
1). Is there anything i should check before i buy it??
2). How to check whether its a genuine phone or not??
3). Is it cheaper in Japan??
Thanx alot in advance

Worth trading a Note 3 for a n5?

There's a guy on Craigslist looking to trade his nexus 5 off. Do you guys think it'd be a good trade?
Sent from my SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app

Not really. Note3 has a higher value than the Nexus 5. Best to sell your note 3 and buy the nexus 5 probably even get a brand new piece.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

have to agree, while the n5 is a better phone, the note 3 sells for more money

From what I've seen on Craigslist in my area (Washington, DC) the Note 3 goes for around $300-$320. The Nexus 5 32gb goes for around $250-$300.

You'll miss the screen real estate .... Note 3 is a better phone unless you want the latest OS. Better battery, larger sceen, better camera, expandable storage..etc
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

You're all wrong look at Swappa and locally on Craigslist, as much as I would like the Note 3 to sell more that's not the case. I sold my note 3 for $425, although some might be selling for $475+ people aren't buying them. I found a new sealed Nexus 5 for $380 on eBay who has overstock on them and in desperate need to sell and with tempered glass protector and case I spend another $20, so I pocketed $25 big deal. But ya no way Note 3 is selling for more right now. Oh and with bootloader locked like in my case I'm on AT&T (SCREW you AT&T) I rather have my Nexus 5 any day regardless of screen size. I'm just wish OnePlus One hurry's the heck up and sells the darn phone ASAP.

Because decisions are hard, mmkay? :silly:

You could always ask if he is interested in buying your Note 3 + cash. I don't know the prices in US, but in Europe it +/- 100 euro differences between the two. Don't know the state of your phone and the accessories.
