I may be slightly biased seeing as I own one, but am I the only one who feels the Galaxy Nexus offers the most "bang for your buck"? It's hard to believe it's been available for almost a year now, but during my 4 year & counting love affair with phones, this is the ONLY device I feel completely content & satisfied with. Compared to some of todays devices, it is lacking spec-wise (CPU choice, Camera quality), but thanks to the abundance of community support, developers continue to breath new life into this device daily. Granted my Nexus will never benchmark as high as newer phones, I feel it performs just as, if not smoother, than your Galaxy S3 & One X's on a day to day, real world basis thanks to the many different ROM choices & the numerous different tweaks.
"Sexy" isn't a word usually reserved for pieces of plastic & polycarb, but I can't think of a better way to describe the Nexus. It's a huge black slab of... Sexy. When I initially purchased my GSM GN in February of this year, I paid $730.00... Now you can purchased it for only $350.00, straight from Google, with warranty in tact , contract free - looking for a tablet too? For just $199.00 more, you can get a pretty damn amazing & more than capable tablet to go along with it, all for the same , if not less price you'd pay for a One X or S3 alone. For 2 top quality devices, I really don't known how anyone could beat that... I have noooooooo intentions of upgrading my phone until another Samsung built Nexus device is released. Otherwise, I'm rocking with this until the wheels fall off. I, personally, have head bigger problems committing to a phone then I did women, but dare I say: The Nexus has made an honest man out of me lol. Go buy one!

The Nexus has all digital (On screen buttons) opposed to physical ones. I went from an AT&T GS2 tova Galaxy Nexus myself - I thought getting used to on-screen buttons would be a pain, but I was soooooo wrong: it was a wonderful decision. Not to mention that the screen resolution & quality in comparison to the Galaxy S2 blows the GS2 away. My personal opinion is that the only screen that is even remotely comparable to it would be the LCD display on the One X, seeing its a non-pentile display. If I were you, you should take her up on that offer: ASAP. Good luck.
