Help me decide my next Android purchase

Now... I've been wanting a Nexus 7 ever since it was announced, but only now that I can afford one.
But now I see I've got a chance to buy a 16gb Nexus 4.
I was planning on continuing to use my Nexus S as it totally rocks running CM10.1 and using the Nexus 7 for browsing the web around the house and playing games.
If I would buy the Nexus 4 I would obviously not afford the Nexus 7 for a while. But the Nexus 4 is such a sexy piece of hardware and it has a much better camera than the Nexus S and I've got a baby on the way and I would love to be able to take good pictures and HD videos of my little ones.
Help me decide!
Nexus 7 + Nexus S
Or
Nexus 4 only

Nexus 4 ftw nexus 7 doesn't have a rear facing camera and the glass is extremely fragile ... Go have a look at the nexus 7 general section where people are complaining about their nexus 7 glass cracking for no reasons

Really tough one, but go with the Nexus 4. Carrying two devices at the same time is real pain in that part of the body .

I vote for Nexus 4 as well.

Wow... no love for the larger screen of the Nexus 7?
Granted, I use my Nexus S for reading, checking facebook, Pulse News, Flipboard etc. I often wish for a larger screen, but I might just be fine with 4,7 inches.

nexus 10 is available now

Yes, and it looks awesome. But I just don't want a 10 inch tablet. Too big in my opinion.

Just go with a Nexus 4.

Nexus 4!
But honestly if i got the money i'll save it 'til Nexus 5 arrives, or until nexus s completely loses support from all devs

Nexus s+7 too many reported issues for the n4. I'd actually choose gn or gn2 over n4. Reports issues: fragile, overheating, and cracking around speaker.

Much more support for the Nexus 4, but the few comments for the Nexus 7 do keep me going both ways...
I´ll tell you one thing that might change the odds a little...
I am in Iceland... A 16gb Nexus 4 is 99.900 ISK = 775 USD. A 32gb Nexus 7 is 59.900 ISK = 465 USD.

Ouch! That's just about the same here in Manila. Woe for us non-Play Store countries.

Nexus 4 FTW!!!. People have been complaining about the Nexus 7 lagging on games. (Not sure about that. My friend bought one from Hong Kong and said it lags sometimes) The glass on the N7 is also really fragile IMO. Good thing you can get it at a Google Play rate, in Singapore, it is about $USD465.

Wow, that's a serious ripp-off for N4 in Iceland. I would not buy it for that kind of money.
In Croatia, N7 32GB is around 365$, that is also kinda high for our standard, but yet it's more affordable than Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7" and Apple iPad Mini. N4 is unavailable and probably won't hit the stores until late spring.
No hardware in Croatian Play Store in either...

Hy there, for the past 5 months i have been using a combination of nexus s as a phone for when i am out and a nexus 7 for where i am at home. And i must say that this combimation really works. When i am out i don't necessarily need the greatest performance for gaming and simmilar but i appreciate the form factor of my nexus s. But when i am at home i have my nexus 7 for gaming and multimedia. I must say that the performance of nexus 7 on the latest games is very good with an appropriate rom and kernel. If you still like your phone like i do, then i would recommend going with two device combo(weak phone+tablet) rather than one extra powerful phone. And on the battery side of things as i primarily use my tablet at home and i have my phone in a dock whenever i go out, my phone battery is always charged as opposed if i had just the phone and would be using it at home

If you didn't have a tablet before, go for the Nexus 4.
If you did have a tablet before, go for the Nexus 4.
If you get tortured by your neighbor, go for the Nexus 4.
If you like sitting on the toilet for 2.4820 hours, go for the Nexus 4.
If you do(n't) sound familiar with the above lines, go for the Nexus 4.
:laugh:

I'm actually swaying toward the NS+N7 combo.
I'm seeing a lot of threads about issues with the N4. I'm not the type who has to have the newest gadgets so I think I might just wait until most of the issues with it have been resolved and then it might have reduced in price a bit here in Iceland.

i would prefer nexus 4.. for the incoming baby maybe you should get a digital cam/recorder because it has better image quality than the smartphones..

Anybody planning on selling their S4's for iphone 5S

There seems to be a few people on other forums i visit that are selling their S4's for an iphone 5S, maybe because of KNOX or they just bored with android or something & the size of it.
I've had a hold of the iphone 5S, and while i do think it's a good little device, i don't think i would be tempted to part with the S4 for it.
I mean £629 for an iPhone 5S 32gb, you can get a Note 3 for less, but each to their own.
So how many on here are planning of getting shut of their S4's for an iphone 5S.

i m definitely not getting an iphone 5s as imho it doesn t bring major changes from the iphone 5 but i actually love the ios 7 so i will keep an eye on the iphone 6. for now i m more excited about the nexus 5 .

I'd only sell my S4 for a Nexus 5. Not even sure if i'll do that

i'll buy a Xiaomi Mi3, and will give my S4 to my mom.
and she will give me back my i5 and maybe i sell it.

For i5s? No fkn way!! But for note 3 yeeees!!
Enviado desde mi GT-I9500

i don't want to waste my money to buy iphone 5s..i'm rather buy Xiaomi phone or Note 3 if i sell my S4..
if i buy iphone 5s/c it just for basic phone only.

Every iproduct sucks balls!! Why pay so much for a device and then after that rent everything that goes into it? No thanks I'll keep my s4

Lol no way to a ip5s bit nexus 5 I will probably jump ship to mainly because of the vanilla android experience. Sick of the bloat now with samsung and now its becoming a pain to root. If I wanted their ****e app store and tripadvisor id install it myself. My device so I should choose wots on it

Buying a newer Android device makes sense to me ... replacing it with Iphone doesn't except if someone never used an iOS device and want to give it a try or he did the same for Androd and didn't like it .. or just to show off with latest popular device ...

I'd be surprised to hear many people jump ship on this forum... just way too many restrictions and disadvantages imo using an apple device.

Sold mine on Swappa. Got less than what I wanted, but it's all good. I definitely got my money's worth out of my Note 3. There just wasn't anything too remarkably different from the Note 2 and Note 3. I like trying different phones. I swap between this and my Moto X. I should be good now until I get the new X coming out later in the year, now. I am taking a break from Samsung products

Man I would love to get rid of my note 3 for the m8... just can't afford it.

I got the M8 off contract for $600 and sold my Note 3 for about $150 less than that. So for the 6 months I used the Note 3, i definitely got my money's worth (I bought the Note 3 on contract pricing).

Same here, I went gs3 to note 2 to sg4 to note 3 now to m8...couldn't be happier. I wanted to use the s pen more, just didn't find it was all that functional. Really love the idea of it, but I rarely took notes with it and other than that, really just kept it in the phone.

I'm thinking of making a mass thread called "what phone did you come from and how does it compare?". I just love conversations like this on xda XD
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Yeah I came from the note 3 and I still have it until I decide which I like better. Part of me misses the size as it's hard to get used to smaller size. I'm having issues typing but I'm sure that will get easier. I will say this phone feels so much nicer in the hand. Anybody tried that light bright case yet?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I have the "light brite" case. It's actually really nice.I'm used to using the sview case but I like this case much better just for the different look it has. The flap is a little annoying but I figure it will get worn in and be a little better awhile

Thinking about

Trading my note 3 for a nexus 5 maybe galaxy s4 or 5
The novelty of a huge screen has worn off. Touchwiz is good but I don't use its features. I haven't had a nexus since galaxy nexus.
Is it worth it?

If you decide to trade for a S4 or a N5 then make sure to get cash with the trade. I personally came from the Note 3 & traded for a (brand new at the time) 32gb black N5 still in plastic, plus $150 cash & never looked back.
sent from my neXus 5

Imo HTC M8 > S5 by far. The N5 is the cheaper option but still a strong phone.
In the end it is you who needs to make the decision and who's gonna use the phone try to think about it for yourself, go in stores to try some phones. Whatever others on XDA or anywhere may say, the point here is that you get a phone that makes you happy, and only you know which one that is
Google Nexus 5

OnePlus One or Nexus 6?

Looking to upgrade, any advice?

I heard One+one is coming out with two new devices.
But I'm in love with nexus 6 already.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

I had the OPO for two months before selling it. It's a nice device but CM does not = Nexus.
There were too many little issues that I couldn't deal with. I sold it and went back to my N5. The only thing I miss is the battery life and it seems like the Nexus 6 with its 3200 mAh battery will solve that problem.
My answer? Nexus 6
I also moved this thread to Q&A as it's better suited there.

Nexus and XDA all the way!

I like the one plus one's price over the nexus 6's price hike. It's like $100 difference between the 2.
