[Q] Just sold my Nexus One...Now what?

So I just let go my favorite phone of all time so far for the same price that I bought it for locally. I really loved the N1 and had it for a few months (bought it late Sept of '10). My dilemma now is that I am addicted to pure Google Experience phones
I also love having the latest hardware, so for me (TMOBILE US) the G2x or the upcoming Sensation or SGS2 look pretty promising as well. Should I just stick it out for 200 days until December for the Nexus 3 or just get the US Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation? I'm stuck with my old SGH-T629 Slider phone until then

A co worker just got a g2x (from nexus one also)....and he dislikes the battery life...the 4g kills the battery

I would hold out for the US Galaxy S2 or HTC Sensation. I'm leaning toward the Sensation...

Really? I'm actually partial to the SGS2, with the increased RAM, ROM, and better processor (at least in early testing so far). It's even capable of a 2GHz overclock now. The internal memory and possible NFC support really has me hooked, even the FFC is better on the SGS2. The Phone is also ridiculously thin. The only draw back is the build quality, but that's made up for in SuperAmoled Plus, Gorrilla glass, and Codecs.
Yeah the G2x is my only dual core option for Tmobile, I'd rather get the Sensation over that. GS2 over both though

[Q] Upgrading soon

I will be eligible for an upgrade in Jan & I was looking for info on upcoming AT&T Android phones. I tried Google but results are old. I would like to stick with Samsung. What happened last time I upgraded I purchased this Cappy & 1 month later the Infuse came out! I was pissed! I don't want to get the sgs2 then something better comes out in Feb. I'm not interested in the Skyrocket since I heard it does not have Gorilla Glass plus a slower CPU. Anyone have any info on upcoming phones? SGS3 timelines?

AT&T said a while back that they would have a "family" of Galaxy phones. The SGS2 and Skyrocket are out now. Both the Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy Note passed through the FCC this week with AT&T frequencies. So both of those phones might be hitting AT&T in the next couple of months (nothing for sure, but they have the thumbs-up from the FCC). Early reviews of all four phones seem to be excellent.
If the SGS2 is any indication, the SGS3 will be announced at either CES or MWC in Q1, be released to everyone except the US in Q2, then hit the US in Q3 about six to seven months after it's announced amid rumors of the SGS4, which will undoubtedly sport LTE, NFC, 3D, flexible display, holographic chat, built-in microwave, 47 distinct comms bands, Tivo, and smell-o-vision.

Who may consider buying an upgraded Nexus 4

Depending if thats whats announced next week. The improvements could mean bigger storage, better camera, LTE compatibility, better battery life, and of course KLP. If they keep it in the same price range I'm all in
Especially if they dont even announce the Nexus 5 release date.

If Google announces that those of us who recently bought a Nexus 4 could upgrade just by returning the one we have, then sure I'll grab the upgrade. Otherwise, I'm happy enough as it is.

Maybe, but probably not. If they do release a heavily upgraded model for the same $299 price point...google better pull an apple and give me something though, considering I just bought a n4 a couple of weeks ago.

Although I think the idea is a little far fetched. It would be welcome to upgrade since mine is less than a month old.

Even if it is announced next week we wont even be able to buy one until the fall.

If I have to buy a new phone to get an update I'm going to rage, smash my nexus 4 to pieces, and buy an iphone
btw....anyone who knows me knows I wouldn't buy an iphone if apple paid me retail price to take it off their hands. I'm just making a point

If its only the 32gb and LTE spec upgrade I won't bat an eye. On average with T-Mo I'm downloading 6-10mbps. Coming from sprint where that's near their LTE speeds, I will settle with H+ and 16gb just fine!

I doubt I'll upgrade until 2014, as I plan to keep onto this phone for a while. 16GB is more than enough for me and LTE isn't in my are yet.

Same here. I use the tablet for HD content so I still have nearly 6GB free on my phone and T-Mobile's HSPA+ is, in practice, as fast as Verizon's LTE and faster than Sprint's. LTE is still half baked.
I'll hold for a redesigned phone. Im knid of secretly hoping that LG was bidding but that HTC will win making a Nexus version of the One. Although LG has been the best supporter of the Nexus program so far (outside of the shortages, which were Google's fault).

Seeing as how Google seems to be good at doing at least two years worth of updates on Nexus devices I think you are safe.

Even if they announce the "nexus 5" later this year you will still hold out? It will probably be the same price range and you could still sell the N4 for an ok amount of money.

I will only upgrade if it has a removable battery, 1080P, LTE, and 32/64GB.

I'm gonna hold out as well. As for the resale. Once the 5 is for sale I'm expecting the resale to drop by at least 30%. This device has the hardware to stay up to date for at least another year.

No real need to upgrade for me. The rumored changes are LTE, 4.3, and more storage. We already have LTE (I get 25Mbps down in an unannounced LTE city), we know 4.3 is going to hit this device shortly after its unveiling, and I'm fine with 16GB storage.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I don't really miss LTE. Sure, it's nice for downloading files quicker, but I really don't notice a difference in how fast web pages load. The only way though that I could upgrade would be if the current N4 retains some resale value.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

The only thing that would interest me is a bigger battery. I could care less about LTE. I don't need an additional radio killing my battery even faster. As for more storage? Not necessary. I don't keep a bunch of junk on my phone and only one nandroid so I regularly have between 2 and 4 GB free.

I don't like iPhone just because of that( well and iOS sucks and the market sucks and I'm not a 12 year old girl) but honestly I would be all over it if it had more storage and LTE.
Carbonized and francofied N4

The HSPA+ is not available everywhere in Chicago area. You get a lot of E or 3G. Let alone the LTE..

if itll have 32gb and better battery, im gonna upgrade. otherwise im sticking with the 'old' one, dont care about lte (hspa+ is perfectly enough) and im happy with the camera.

I already get t mo lte and all my music is on Google play so to me unless there's like a 64gb I wouldn't even think of it I'm more interested in what the new N7 will be like

[Q] What phone is next for you?

I see 3 contenders, each has strengths and weaknesses [in no particular order]:
HTC One (M8)
Samsung Galaxy S5
Sony Xperia Z2
I'm not thrilled with the camera on the HTC One (M8), but overall I'm ok with HTC
and have been very happy and thankful for the support I've received on this forum,
I love my Vivid and it's still a great phone.
The S5 has a great camera, and all the other features that matter for me [SD card slot,
active community support, replaceable battery, strong environment resistance] ... BUT
I don't like KNOX and based on what I'm reading [and experiencing with my Samsung
Galaxy Note 10.1 - 2014 Edition tablet], that lockdown & strategy isn't going to go away
any time soon ... and may, for all intents and purposes, be 'insurmountable' without
giving up warranty support - which isn't OK with me, cuz I'm not made of money ...
On to the Sony ... seems like the specs are pretty good, perhaps lacking in onboard
memory [16Gb at the moment, I'd prefer 32Gb or 64Gb], good processors, decent design
and build quality ... but the community support seems thin [perhaps because Sony isn't
a huge player in the US? Perhaps because they're release cycle & adoption by big US
carriers is a lilttle thin & doesn't get as much press as HTC and Sammy? I don't know]
and I don't know how good the accessory market is for them ...
So the question is ... what phone is next for you, and how/why did you come to that
decision?
If it's one of these three, great ... if it's not, great ... because that may help me to see
options I have missed.
Thanks in advance for taking time to slog through my drivel.

Trying to keep the expenses down, so to actually upgrade I am considering the Galaxy S4. The S5 is too expensive, HTC One does not have a replaceable battery, don't particularly like Sony these days.
Mind, I am still 3 months from upgrade time, and my mind is not set.

I replaced the Vivid with a Nexus 4. Comparing the early effort for custom roms Vivid vs Nexus, it was literally night and day. Waiting weeks/months to find a way to unlock the bootloader vs 2 minutes with the nexus.
I will never buy another carrier branded phone, nor a phone that is locked down. If I were to upgrade again, I would have to go with the Nexus 5. I might not get the bells, whistles and prestige of the lofty flagships, but for an Android buff like me, the open nature of the nexus line is priceless.

I was using Vivid in 2011, 2012.
In 2013, I was thinking between google edition i9505 and AT&T SHG-I337 for the upgrade Google edition came unlock but it was cost around $600 at that time. AT&T phone was network locked but it cost around $65 for upgrade with 2 years plan.
I went with AT&T SGH-I-337. I rooted the phone before I activated. After activation I installed the custom rom. The phone came with Android 4.2.2.
This month I installed the 4.4.2 custom rom (Golden eye 29, 30 then 31). I am very happy with S4 this way.
I am thinking of going for S5 after the developer find a way to tame the knox thingy.

after one year does Nexus 6 still worth to buy?

I know the next generation is coming soon tomorrow. I am looking for a phoblet phone that can replace my cellphone. I dont like Galaxy Note series.

I love mine and I am not upgrading anytime soon

I've bought mine a week ago, got it at a very good price, almost half the price of the upcoming 6P, so I didn't hesitate.

The new nexus phones barely have higher specs then the nexus 6. I just got mine yesterday, and its well worth it. The 2016 nexus will be the next phone worth upgrading to when the SD820 cpu is inside it, the 808 really isn't a upgrade to the 805

I bought mine 3 weeks ago. IMO, best unlocked phone you can buy for the price.

I bought it today and i think it is worth. There won't be anything better than this until Snapdragon820 phones come to shelves.

I bought mine last week and am very happy with it coming from a Note 3. I like the Note series but they are locked down tight on VZW.

Have mine for almost a year now and I'm not thinking about upgrading for at least one more year. It's still as smooth as when I got it. You won't regret getting it, the newer phones aren't that much of an upgrade especially when compared price wise. Go for it.

The only difference to me between new nexus phone is camera performance other than that, I see now reason to upgrade.

not sure what the complaint is but the camera works just fine for me. if I am that critical over a picture, then the DSLR comes out...which is almost never.

It's like Fantasy Football
The Nexus 6P is Julio Jones and AJ green, but you are looking for that stat producer on the cheap. Maybe a STeve Smith Sr or Julian Edelman. Getting the job done just fine even if they aren't the new hotness.

My opinion is that the nexus 6 is a great device. The price has came down almost half of the original cost. I paid 650 for the 32gb and see them for under 300 a lot. If willing to pay 300 extra for the fingerprint scanner, beefed up processor, and native led then get the n6p. I'll be sticking with my n6 for another year!

If sprint will sell it for under 400 then heck yea I'll jump on it. I have had a terrible experience on my current phone and want a stock android experience.

I just bought a second one with the new price drop. Got mom on Project Fi and she loves it. She is always at home and bill is only $23 or so a month.
I see not reason to upgrade at this point......may in a year on the next gen phones come out.

Never could use a "standard" size phone again. Love the hugeness.
Wifi sucks now since latest update. Hopefully Google will fix this.
Everything else is good.

riding the moto nexus until next year when the 820 chip-set is standard, I bought my shamu almost a year a go, and couldn't be happier

You know you can grab any North American Nexus 6 and stick it on Sprint & Verizon now, right?
Only exception is the AT&T variant, that one needs to be SIM-unlocked first.

I came from a Note 2 to the Nexus 6 (same as your current if I am correct) and couldn't have been happier.
The 6P is using the 810 vs the 805 in the N6... The known to overheat 810 is NOT the processor anyone would pick if given the choice. Yes, i know the 810 in the 6P is supposed to be the 810 rev2.1 but it only clocks at 2.0 Ghz on the high end. So with the heat issues and it having to be underclocked to keep from becoming a hot plate makes it an absolute NO go for me.
The size difference will feel good because the Note 2 - N6 size difference in the hand is fantasmic because of the screen to body ratio.
Unless you are a HUGE camera person and absolutely NEED a fingerprint reader, with the price of the N6 being ~$300 it will be a buy you WILL NOT regret!!!
