Galaxy Nexus or GS3

[jjjjayd13]

Which do you have, GN or GS3? Why?

What is your battery life?

Should I wait for next Galaxy Nexus?

TIA,

I have neither, but all I can say is that I'll never buy a non-nexus phone from Samsung. If you want good software, wait for the nexus, but if you want good hardware, the S3 would be for you. Personally, I feel that only good hardware isn't what all a person needs..

I have both. Nexus is rooted, S3 not yet. S3 manages it's power a lot better. Nexus must be rooted to achieve decent battery life. Hardware is much better on S3, but I wouldn't have a problem going back to my nexus either.

The camera alone on the GS3 was enough for me to not use my Nexus anymore

Every review I have read says the Galaxy S2 beats the Nexus and the S3 is so much better than the S2 so pretty sure the S3 is better than the Nexus..

I don't have the nexus but the S3 is really sweet. I came from the Razr which I still have and use from time to time but this has better battery life than I thought. Also the camera is really fast, no delay! So far the only complaint is the radio is not as good as my Razr but from what I read the nexus is just the same!

I had both deal breaker for me was no storage on Nexus, camera and battery life. Sgs3 is much better in those departments.

Thanks for that info. Let me make sure I understand, the Nexus has not sd card. What was your typical battery life not including extended battery?

I got both and I prefer my gs3 is slimmer and camera just kill the galaxy nexus, ics touchwiz is not the bad, and now we got a pre cm10 on our gs3 night lies for cm9 and aokp m6,so I'm sticking with my Galaxy s 3,another reason is space unless you getting a cdma one the gsm one didn't cut it for me 16gb is nice but not enough, I had a 32gb iphone and got used to taking the alot pics so I would recommend you the gs3

With 16gb plus 64gb card or 32gb with 32gb card?

I would get the 32gb with a 64gb sd card if I had the money.

There is always something better coming, but that something better always come late since we're in the US.

The S3's bootloader on Verizon is locked. That right there makes me want to keep my Nexus. I'm new to Samsung anyways. Only had my Nexus for a few weeks now. I've played with the S3... its a sweet phone. The screen and camera are amazing! But I'm content with my Nexus for now.

I don't have a Nexus, but I've played with one and it's certainly a great phone.

I'm an AOSP-addict, who has never once been satisfied by a manufacturer's ROM. I would crack-flash a buggy build of CyanogenMod rather than have something like Sense/Motoblur.

However... The TouchWiz on my Galaxy S3 isn't so bad when rooted and debloated. It's good enough that I switched back to it from the buggy CM10 ROM I had on it.

They're both good phones, but it boils down to how badly you want AOSP and updates from Google.

I wouldnt say that my Sprint GS3 is that much better than my GS2 Epic Touch.I think the screen on my Epic Touch might be better.Other than this they are almist the same.In Qudrant GS3 scores aloms the same in FPS tests(i know GS3 has higher res) it beats GS2 by low margins in others,and in some tests GS2 scores higher.

Is GS3 better?Yes,but not by much.Now international quad core Xynos version is probably a lot better,and Korean quad core with 2gb of ram is the king of phones at the moment.

Droids get slot of undeservrd glory in my opinion.Would you say that GS3 best phone you ever owned?
I speak for my self but ever sense i bought Samsung Behold 2(RIP),i loved Samsung phones mainly because of rought build quality and Amoled and dont even consider other phones(I do like Xperia's only thing missing is Amoled).

I own Epic 4G-best GS1 variant,Epic Touch-best GS2 variant and now GS3 on Sprint(this time Sprint version doesnt stand ot from the rest),but i love them all,even my original Epic still holds its own with ics rom.
LONG LIVE SAMSUNG!

Do you know whether the 2 gb ram quad core is regional and cant be used elsewhere in the world? I was thinking that I could have one of them shipped to me, that is if it works here where i live. Admit it, the korea variant beats everything in the market right now.

You know what,i think it is.Though quad version with 2gb ram is ether Korean or Japanese version,i think its japanese version im not sure.
But regular quad core international version with on 1gb ram is tmobile and att compatible.
Another plus to to one of the quad versions has built in tv tuner!Google it,if you have the money get one and let us know how it is.

I have both. Rooted s3 with AOKP narrowly beats the nexus. Once the s3 has a JB ROM it will be no contest.

Honestly, the nexus camera is the deal breaker.
