[Q] Galaxy Nexus vs XPS?

---

Hello everyone and sorry if this post is kinda obsolete, and I know that I'm in XPS forum so I'm expecting a biased answer.
How do you think the XPD holds up against the GN? I'm mostly disappointed about its camera, I love the screen despite its banding and image retention issues, and I've come from the Galaxy S line (S, S II and now Nexus). I think the nexus is a bit too big for me, but I was hoping someone brought a light on this matter.

Thanks everyone.

I have exactly the same phone history s sII nexus and now I have the XPS, I can only say, this phone is fantastic! It feels much better, it´s very fluent and uix is much better than touchwiz, I prefere it over the vanilla rom of the nexus! Which in my opinion is verrrry boring!

How would you compare the screens of both phones?

Forget the Sammy phone. 346ppi is amazingly sharp.... The screen is just amazing.

346ppi for the Xperia S?? It's 342ppi, but let's not split hairs...342ppi or 346ppi is still pretty impressive either way.

Yeah I've heard the screen is great, really crisp and it pars with AMOLED screens. I'm still waiting for it to launch in Portugal, as they said it would be on the 6th...Well we're on the 9th and nothing yet.

The Galaxy Nexus uses the PenTile layout, which uses less subpixels to build up pixels, so the effective resolution isn't really a true 720p. The Xperia S on the other hand is true RGB, and a lot better.

I have both. Screen on gnexus its bright and vivid but colors are fake. Xperia s colors are a lot more close to the real thing. Its just beautiful. Camera its a HUGE plus for me on a phone. And xperia s way way better camera than nexus. What else. I'm running BAMF rom on the nexus. Runs amazing.

Is it true that the Xperia S doesn't have auto-brightness? If not it's due to hardware or software limitation?

It does have auto brightness, despite some people say, as is with the xperia arc. There is auto brightness BUT there is no way to turn it on/off.
