Hey all, I've been a member here on XDA for almost 3yrs now and I've frequented multiple sections depending on the device(s) I was/am using at the time.

I have to say, the Galaxy Nexus community is by far my favorite hands down.

So I ask, Who can I expect to see in the next nexus section when google releases the 2013 iteration of the Nexus Flagship Device?

I really am hoping a lot of you that I have grown to love chatting with all are there with me. I passed on the Nexus 4 because frankly, I don't see enough innovation over my Gnex to deem it worth purchasing, thus why I am waiting for the follow-up device we most likely can all expect come around November of this year.

I just cannot see myself getting anything but a Google flagship vanilla phone after owning this fantastic device, nothing compares to the development, themes, kernels etc available. Not to mention we get the newest versions of everything first as well.

Anyway, Who's gonna be in the new forum right there with me when the "Nexus 5 aka 2013 Nexus" arrives?


*on a sidenote, I can only imagine what the AOSPA Team and AK Team is going to bring to the table. :D

Not a fan of LG but Samsung makes a quality phone in a lightweight container. I have never liked Motorola, always found their devices to be crap (just my opinion though). Sony or HTC for the next Nexus device and I'll be a happy camper. Although, I will get one if Samsung makes it again too.

Who am I kidding, if it's a nexus device google oversees the whole process so I will buy it regardless of the brand. :p

Prob not me. My next phone will have one of those monster batteries like the Note or Maxx does. That + unloackable bootloader + active dev comminuty will be priorities on my next phone purchase. But I'm not in much of a hurry right now.

I honestly dont know what to expect. They could throw out anything like a thin phone with a 2.1 GHz processor and 6 GB ram. Who knows. I expect it to be innovative though.

If it's much bigger than the g'nex I'll stay away, otherwise I'll probably look to get one about midway through 2014 once my g'nex has given me a good 2 years of service.

Its 50/50 at this time. I want a monster battery and a fast processor. The Note3 is calling me. Unless that device is too big, then I guess nexus 5 it is or galaxy s4.

I will most likely be getting the next one also. I was still 50/50 on getting the Nexus 4 but since I wasn't able to purchase one at launch time, I made a deal with myself that if I wasn't able to get one by the end of January then I might as well wait for the next one...which I will be doing (unless something better comes out ( the xperia Z is calling my name though)).

So we shall see how it goes.

Nexus 5 will be my next phone, I gave up on nexus 4 because basically its completly based off the lg optimus g so nothing inspiring done on lg's part there an the fact it was impossible to get as it sold out then rumours they are ramping down production on them so soon after launching it, I just hope the nexus 5 won't be a repeat of the nexus 4 launching an sell out so quickly because of limited stock.

I don't post much, but this is what I have been thinking about lately.

I have had this Gnex for just over a year now and love the device. I have been trying different ROMs fairly often, and like that the software release is for the nexus first before other handsets.

So I will be getting the next nexus device regardless of who it is made by. With so many people upset by the quality of the current nexus 4, I really can't see Google leaving it the same quality for the next handset.

Also at the moment I don't feel the nexus 4 is enough of a step up from my nexus to warrant a change, but I think the next device will be. Just hope it is more than 16gb of storage.

Same here, don't feel N4 is a big enough improvement on my GNex, so I'm skipping it (like I skipped the Nexus S). Can't wait!

    Depends on wether LG will make it... if so, then no, I will not buy the new Nexus.
    Any other company like Samsung, Motorola or Sony or even HTC though would be fine by me.

    chances are, I will be there. but it all depends. the nexus 4 is a great device, but i am assuming the 2013 nexus is going to be 5"1080P, quad core, 13mp camera, huge battery, 2+GB ram ect. its going to be hard to stay away from it....no matter who makes it.
