Default Samsung Galaxy S3 mini vs Galaxy Nexus

Hi Friends,

((I have not too much knowlege of android phone rooting or moding, but learn many things after joining this forum))

I am currently using SGS3 Mini, and I want to change it. So you guys please tell me should I go for Galaxy Nexus?? Battery Timing is same or not in both devices.

Please share your opinions because your opinions are highly valuable for me. Also please share what are the things that I can do in SGS3 Mini but not in Galaxy Nexus.

Sorry for Bad English

Gnex is faster, gnex has always the latest android (4.2.2 atm), it has a nice 720p HD display, it has a bigger battery, its just an good upgrade.

Once you go nexus, you wont go anywhere.

You'll become a nexus BITCH like me

Buy it, but if you can afford it go for a Nexus 4 from google.play. cheap and an upgrade to the gnex.

The only advantages that IMHO the S3 mini has over the Nexus are:
- smaller size (if that's important)
- microSD slot
Disadvantages:
- smaller size (sizewize, 4.5-5 inch is slowly becoming my sweet spot)
- poor community (I don't want to ofend anybody)
- poor support from Samsung (Nexus might even see official Android 5)
My advice for you is:
Make a list of things that matter for you: screen size, processing power, microSD slot, software updates (official or not), etc). Compare the two phones over at gsmarena.com or somewhere else and check which phone better suits you. Now check for reported problems. Sleep a night or two on all this info and in the morning place the order.


Personally I have two things against the Nexus: no microSD card slot and problems with the flash memory (search for problems with trimming). But, giving that I still have it, I can live with those.

Have a nice day!
