Taking about GN being a great phone with great Dev support. I am finding my self skipping two generations of android phone with out any regrets, namely s3 now to be s4, and nexus 4.
Anyone waiting for the Nexus5 before thinking about upgrading?

Let's wait for my phone to break, don't have the money to keep buying new phones.
If KLP lags on the gnex, i'm going back to ICS..
Me waiting for the next Nexus too. Currently I don't want to change, because I am more than happy with that

seriously? ICS was laggy as hell.
It depends on a screen size (and free funds to spend of course ). If the screen size is 5" or bigger I will consider N4 of HTC One.

Probably going to switch to the one this summer.
Really liking the design of that phone. The s4 just seems way too big for me and I would rather have a longer phone than a wider phone

My upgrade is in September so I still have some time to go. If Google comes out with a vastly improved nexus without a recycled design from another device. By vastly improved I'm talking about Camera quality, LTE, full HD screen and battery life. Sure I'll go for the nexus 5 but if they don't improve all those than I'm going to contemplate jumping ship.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Hmmmm...Nexus 5. If you'll note, the current nexus lineup are all named according to the display size. For Google to add a 4th nexus device to the lineup is unlikely (to much to manage), so the best guess is a refresh of the nexus 4, possibly by another manufacturer, and probably later in the year. What we can expect for I/O is a refresh on the nexus 7 (with the same name), and possibly a non-nexus device from Motorola that runs stock Android.

I think we could expect a new phone as well. Considering that key lime pie is a major update, there is bound to be new features for phones not just tablets. So they will be probably need another device to show off the new features of the new build. I'm doubting they will use a nexus 4 as a demo device, its already fairly old news.

According to this article, Google is working on an X phone to compete againist Apple and Samsung, that will be released next year. And, also is working on an X tablet with a significant marketing budget. Looks like I'll have to hold off on the nexus 10. I doubt they will keep that name but I wouldn't mind owning an X tablet.

I don't care what they number it. What they need to do this time around is actually test the software before they push it out to users. The bluetooth situation in 4.2.1 is awful and google should be embarrassed of it.

Lots of people find Touchwiz horrible
Touch wiz is more comparable to iOS than stock android is I would say. Plus, all of the must have apps that he mentions are also available on the S3.
As a new iPhone 5 owner, I actually agree with him - Jellybean is the best mobile OS - but the difference between the S3 and Nexus 4 is negligible, in my opinion.

I can't stand touchwiz. The core android functionally is there on the S3, but I can see why he likes the N4. Simple is beautiful.
You should post this article on some iPhone forum, and not on a Nexus 4 forum. There you might be able to convert some people. We know that the Nexus 4 is streets ahead.

The only difference between s3 and nexus is come may and we will be rocking key lime Poe and S3 users will have to wait for 3-4 months for it.. By Dec we will have another update for us where as s3 users won't know if they'll get it or not since s4 would be release by then.

Android os is better but an iPhone is a better phone overall. Battery and screen are amazing. Nexus 4 screen is nothing brag about. The price is the main bragging point.

4, I love the phone and I sold my Note II for it. I'll probably keep it for the year unless the S4 or HTC M7 really catches my eye.
As soon as I get my Experia Z, I will keep it for what it was bought to be, a development phone I can play with.
4. Think I'll keep this thing till there are actual octacores otherwise there aren't any reasons to upgrade. So 3-4 years I'll keep it.

I still go back and forth between my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 4. I use the Galaxy Nexus when I'm snowboarding and for bar nights when I know things might get a little weird.
While I do still love the Galaxy Nexus, every time I pop the SIM card back into the Nexus 4 and turn it on I am instantly reminded of how much more solid the build quality and performance are on the Nexus 4. It really is an extremely noticeable difference.
For that reason I'll definitely be holding onto this phone for at least a year. At which point I'll probably get whatever the next Nexus is and use the Nexus 4 as the backup phone.

he said "actual octacore" as in 8 cores fire all at once. Samsung's new chip is 8 cores but it operates as a quad core. Only 4 cores are ever used at any point in time.

Waiting for the 32GB model; if not the price isn't going to go up anyway.
Currently using an iPhone 4s alongside my nexus 7, OK its nice to have best of both world type devices, but I would like to use my nexus to be able to use mighty text type apps so I think its time to grab another android phone, got an option locally a guy wants to swap his galaxy note, but I'm thinking this is pretty close in size, what would you recommend?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Galaxy Nexus all the way. The Nexus 4 is too fragile and not worth the hassle in my opinion. Sure it has a quad core processor and 2Gb of RAM, but honestly.. who uses that on a phone.
I would recommend the HTC One X, but seriously... After some of the stuff HTC have been doing nowadays, I struggle to recommend HTC.
I have an original GNote and can't imagine having any thing else. There is a bigger difference in size then you would think.
And remember "When you go Note, 4 inches is a joke".
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I am finding N4 compliments N7 greatly. Basically you get some great raw power on both devices, but the tegra in the N7 give way for different, but complimentary usage. Tegra exclusive games run with great power, while N4 runs non tegra with even greater power.
Maybe it was a design decision so that both devices have equal usage. XD
Well screen size is also a factor. I am not so interested in watching video on the N4. Still I find myself using both devices at once a lot. N7 definitely being the couch/bed lazy movie viewing device.

Sent from my soon coming Nexus 4!
The latest nexus is always a good choice because you get support from Google for a good while and they're easy to resell.
I've had mine for a few months now and when you compare the cost to hardware/software combo of the N4 to any other phone, the N4 wins hands down.
Sure if your budget was unlimited I'd probably go INA different direction (HTC One).
The good thing about the Nexus line is that they hold their value. If you chose to buy a used one now, you can probably sell it when the N5 comes out and not take a significant lose.
My only gripe with the N4 is the camera. My wife's S3 takes better pictures, otherwise its an awesome phone. What device will you be coming from?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I go through Android phones like you wouldn't believe, I've had over 10 in the past 3 years. The Nexus 4 is the best I've ever used and the phone I've stuck with longest. I got one at release and sold it a couple of months ago to try an Xperia Z, sold the XZ after a few weeks and went back to the N4, it's that good.
Ive also had way to many Android handset's over the past 2 years, and even an Iphone 5.
I also had an N4 on release day too and sold that for the iphone.
Sold the iphone to go back to the Nexus 4.:good:
Its by far the best and purest Android phone I have ever used.
I love it so much, I now have a Nexus S as my work phone and a Nexus 10 tablet.
