Htc one x vs Nexus 4

I've recently been thinking of switching to Nexus 4 i've been doing research and all i read is positive feedback but i want to know if it would be worth it to change from an HTC ONE X to a nexus 4 , whats better

The N4 is undobutedly better but why upgrade from a One X? The hardware of the One X is still good, IMO it's not worth upgrading to a N4. Spend some time reading then flash CM10.1 and you're good to go.

Well the HTC updates take FOREVER . and i OTA updated to JB like an idiot i have Rogers HTC ONE X so it upgraded my Hboot and build so now i can't flash any ROMS but the sense roms i have Viper XL 3.1 but you cant use anything else really so it really sucks.

One x is still good but nexus 4 outclasses it in every way except the camera

nexus 4 forever

Where would i buy it infront like not on google play where i have to wait 2 weeks of shipping ?

Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x.
Nexus 4 has a inferior screen... You will feel the difference as soon as u get it.
nexus 4 has is developer community and cheaper price. So u get what u pay for..I can put it that way.
Not a bad deal in the end.

Take into consideration the fact that the Nexus 4 has a glass back - in case you're likely to drop it a lot!

yes, another user in agreement, with CM10.1! Its a snap once you do a little research.

If you don't buy the N4 from the Play Store then there's no point in buying it at all. The brilliant thing about the N4 is that you get so much for such a low price, if you take away the value for money then you end up seeing that there are probably better choices available.
I've just ordered a N4 myself from the Play Store, but I currently have an HD2 so it's a pretty huge upgrade. As for the person who said 'Nexus 4 has a awful camera comparing to one x' and that it has an inferior screen, they're just exaggerating. The N4 camera is more than adequate, and not significantly worse than those on the One X, SGS3 and iPhone 5. The screen of the N4 is a bit odd (15:9 rather than 16:9 without on screen buttons) but has a higher pixel density than the One X's and probably equally good colour reproduction.

If latest Android update is most important to you, go for it.
Keep in mind you are losing LTE though.

Who here only buys Nexus phones?

The nexus 4 is my first nexus phone and won't be the last. And to be honest I don't think I'll buy anything else but nexus phones from here on. All these other android phones are terrible with bloat and ugly ui skins.

I've had the Galaxy Nexus and the N4 and will never get a non Nexus again
Nexus⁴

Me and my wife both own the Galaxy Nexus, and my son has a Nexus 7. Nothing but Nexus in my house. Always first for OTA's and pure, unadulterated ANDROID...
Galaxy Nexus rockin' AOKP MR1 Build 3 w/ Franco 364.....

Hello,
I only buy Nexus phone, first the Nexus One (live long and prosper), and now the Galaxy Nexus.
Usually they have the best support, good hardware and good price.
the 3 things I consider the most important.

Nexus 7 and 10 here.. Waiting for my Samsung phone to die so I can get a Nexus phone.

Strongly considered the 4, but the non-removable battery and lack of microSD support killed any chance of me owning one.

I got my s3... but really want a nexus now.. I just wish they had expandable memory. Sure a removable battery would be nice, but the memory is the bigger need of the two.. I think Google does that so you use their cloud services.

Look it up. :trooper:

Currently still in my nexus s and ill change to the n4 in july!
Ill never get a non-nexus! ;D

I have an s3 right now...but in the future I will only buy nexus phones, because of good developer support and AOSP.

I do love the look of the Nexus phones, but no micro-sd means I won't buy one, it just tells the manufacturers they can get away with hampering us, so unless Google ever puts expandable storage on, I'll never buy a Nexus device. Flashing another phone to something aosp based is really easy, so Nexus goodness without the drawback

I use a Tab 2 7.0 as a giant phone thats also a tablet aka phablet
I sure hope by the time this thing breaks, Nexus 7 will have proper phablet support, or, there will be a 5" nexus phone.

Have a Galaxy Nexus and a Nexus 7 : Completely Filled ! <3

I think as you all! Better Android stok that have all those changes that slow down devices

My n4 is my first nexus, but I probably won't be getting the next nexus if the continue to skip important features for me like lte, microsd and a larger battery. I actually haven't been so dissatisfied with a phone before.

Is it too late in the game to get a GE of the S4?

Hey all. I'm a current Nexus 4 user but I would really like a phone with better battery life that is also removable and has external storage but I don't want to give up stock android. So the GE of the S4 seems favorable but I'm wondering if it still makes sense to get the GE of the S4 seeing as there are a lot of Snapdragon 800 phones now on the market?

IMHO it is not worth taking a non SD800 phone right now... Mostly because Adreno 330 over Adreno 320 than CPU itself.

Yep, too late

If you want a near perfect stock Android experience then yeah get the S4 GE. Much smoother and faster than CM (tried 'em both). Getting around 30 hours of battery-life and the performance is absolutely great. Went from a Nexus 4 to my S4, and the latter is better in almost every aspect. :good:

It depends on whether you live your life by benchmark scores like so many people on here seem to. Would there be a real-world difference between a Snapdragon 600 or Snapdragon 800 phone now or in the near future? I have my doubts. Yes, we know the SD800 is faster, but what use is paying extra for that additional speed if nothing you do with your phone needs to or can utilise it? For example, I know my I9505 is considerably faster than my brother's I9300. Yet I know from first hand experience that his S3 doesn't run visibly slower than my S4 when running any of the applications or games I have compared.
So the upshot for me is that other factors then become more important. For example the camera. Or the screen size and quality.

Not at all. I just received mine yesterday and love it! I had an AT&T GS4, but couldn't get it to perform right even after rom's, kernels, etc. TOUCHWIZ = bad
I'm very happy with the performance of this phone and will hold onto it until the GS5 (hopefully) is released as a GPE.

I agree that I don't see it being too late to get a S4 GPE. My Galaxy Nexus failed a couple months ago and I really wanted my next phone to have a removable battery and a microSD card slot, but I have no desire to use anything but stock Android. The S4 GPE was just what I was looking for. With a bit of research, I've been able to root the device, unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery, and make full Nandroid backups--just like on a Nexus phone.
I really hope Google maintains the GPE line of phones in the future. Not having to depend on Nexus hardware or flashing custom ROMs as the only way to get an unaltered Android interface is really nice.

Something is wrong than lol I can get exceptional battery life
Sent from my S4 i9505

Man....i did the same mistake as you wanna make!I used a Nexus 4 before buying a Galaxy S4.I`m very dissapointed by this phone.In theory should be better than Nexus 4 but the TouchWiz interface is full of lag glitches and other things that you don`t see at Nexus 4.Battery is definitely worse than Nexus`s 4.In benchmark tests it S4 scores better than Nexus 4 but in the normal daily usage you don`t feel this difference.I have i9505 model and i must tell you that no pure stock android 4.3 porting is perfect like the one that you have on Nexus 4.So...the main advantages of Galaxy S4 are the camera wich is gorgeous comparing to Nexus 4 camera.Also the display is way better than the one from Nexus 4.But on Nexus 4 you can use "faux123" kernel and his app from playstore to adjust the correct colours for the display and you will get a very nice vivid display.Also the combination between "faux123" kernel and "Purity Rom" will give you a decent battery life.I had a "faster" cpu binning Nexus 4,wich supports a 150 mv undervoltage.That didn`t impove too much battery life but the overheating problem was gone at all.So...for short...Nexus 4 + faux123 kernel(and his app) + Purity Rom + 150 mv undervoltage makes the Nexus 4 almost as good as Galaxy S4 but at a lot more deccent price.Hope this will help you to make the correct decision.Have a nice day mate!

Nexus 5 vs. HTC One performance experience question.

I know these threads drive people nuts. I'm a phone junky. Over the last 2 years I've had at least 4 phones. Although i've had my HTC One since launch day - coming up on one year.
I hate skins on android. That's why I root and install an AOSP based ROM on my devices. I also like battery life and A2DP Bluetooth streaming.
So...anyone out there think the nexus is a worthwhile upgrade?. I'm already running KitKat. Software is no advantage the Nexus has. However... Is the Nexus a worthy upgrade? I have read that battery life was disappointing at launch. Is it still bad? What does the N5 offer over my One?

I had the One before the N5. Nothing wrong with the One, but honestly the only thing I miss is the speakers. I personally like the bigger screen, and I'm getting better battery life now. Overall better experience, imo.

My 2 cents give the nexus the skip.

i had the htc one and the gs4.. sold my htc one to get the gs4.. then sold my gs4 to get the nexus 5.. i think the n5 is way better the both the gs4 and one.. thats just me.. this is my first nexus phone i love it.. i been threw like 6 top of the line phone in the past 3 yaers.. htc evo 4g.. htc evo 3d.. htc evo 4g LTE.. GS3. HTC ONE.. GS4... Nexus 5 is my fev phone out of all of them

I went from the GS4 to the N5 and haven't regretted it for a second. Out of 12 phones that I've owned over the last 3-4 years, this is easily the best one.

Get the N5 and keep the One.

So comparatively...battery life is on par?
Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Let me tell you a story:
Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted an awesome new android phone. He decided to buy an HTC amaze as that was probably the best phone on the market at the time. He got it 1 month after the phone came out on the market and it was awesome. He enjoyed using it for 9 mos. before HTC decided to stop supporting their FLAGSHIP phone! Alas that phone was relegated to ICS forever.
Then, his girlfriend wanted a new phone and he thought, well, maybe it was just my bad luck to buy the HTC amaze right before HTC decided to realign their phone offerings. The HTC One S looks very good and it has the latest snapdragon S4 chip in it. So he bought her that phone and 9 mos later, HTC announces no more updates after android 4.1.2!
Moral of the story: stick with HTC one if you want an obsolete android OS in 1 year.

Battery life is as good or better. I still have my One and mainly use it to play music, but the Nexus outperforms it in every way and also seems to have a better antenna than the One. Plus, the Nexus has ART which I know is not supported on the HTC One because of Sense.
It's a very worthy upgrade. I do miss the speakers, Aux Sound Output, and sometimes a few 'Sense' things like BlinkFeed and the features in the stock messaging app.

I was in the same Situation like you and i dont regret getting the n5 at all. I had the GpE of the one and still the n5 beats it by a longshot. Speakers and build quality aside the n5 wins everything

I had the HTC One before the Nexus 5 as well,and I love the Nexus. The One is a great phone, but the One has 1) A faster chipset 2) bigger screen 3) STOCK Android (yay!!!)
However, if you're satisfied with your One.. just keep it. Unless you're dead set on having stock Android. The One does have some nice features, like the speakers (yes, stereo speakers) and very good build quality, compared to the Nexus 5 at least, which doesn't seem to fit together perfectly like the One.
As for battery life, I would say it's about equal. They both have the same size battery.

Good luck getting a 90% working ROM for the phone once htc stops supporting it. The Amaze and One S ROMs all have major things broken on it, whether it is Bluetooth or camera or something else not working or not working correctly. So I would say software for HTC phones are important.

The HTC One does have the benefit of being a GE supported device. Can't predict how that'll play out yet. Besides that, you statement is accurate. I came from ATT with and Atrix4g... the hardware is still great. But zero software support from the OEM and all the ROMs available aren't DD material for someone that uses their phone as part of business.
Hence the move to my HTC One on Sprint/Ting... Just to find out that I should have bought a cheap used nexus s and waited for a N5. :/

The way that I understand the GPE phones work is that Google releases the operating system to HTC and then they optimize it to work with their phone before they push out an update. So updates still have to pass through HTC. If they decide to end support for the one, I doubt they'll continue supporting the GPE phone.

That's just it. Even though the UI of the GPE One is all Google, it actually uses the stock Sense kernel. Once HTC stops updating the phone, it stops for the Google Edition as well.

Sell Nexus 5 and get Galaxy S5 ?

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

No

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

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. ?
