Note 2 has more features such as more storage space, an SD slot, LTE, Wolfson DAC.
Nexus 4 is open source, gets faster OTA updates and is also much cheaper.
Personally, I'd get neither because the Note 2 is too large for me (many people prefer its size) and the Nexus 4 only has 8 and 16GB storage which is a joke.

Better to take Note 2..

Note 2
Nexus 4 has no micro SD, glass back and if you watch a video "galaxy nexus vs nexus 4" then you'll see how bad the display is (black has a yellowish tint)

Depends on how much you value software updates. Personally I would rather get the Nexus 4 just for the updates. I am sure that Galaxy Note II will receive CM10 judging how popular this device is, but at the moment I am a little tired of flashing updates manually.

My personal opinion take both of them ... ..=) naa man joking
If you want speed and updates from google buy nexus 4! If you want media and fun and you're a big fan of large screens buy note 2! As i say both of them are really really really gooood so you decide or your pocket

http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?idPhone1=4238&idPhone2=4854 you should probably go into a store and check note 2 to see if it's size suits you.

I think you should take S3 if you don't need 5.5 inch screen. The hardware is pretty same as in Note II, same gpu, processor(in Note II 1,6Ghz), chipset. Note II has better battery, but with this hardware it can last for max 2 days w/o charging. IMHO if I would change my phone I will probably take S3, I don't need big screens
but note 2 got 2gb ram n s3 jz 1gb ram...tat is what im thinking

Personal opinion id take the S3 without hesitation.

Anyone downgraded from a Note 2

Will I notice much of a difference
I don't use led notifications, hardly play large 3d games, and turn off air view
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I have the original Note and one of my colleagues uses the Note 2, to be honest apart from NFC there's not a whole lot of difference when your not playing 3D games and such that you mentioned, and if you flash the latest leaked 4.1.2 firmware, you get all the features like the Nature UX, Paper Artist, Muliscreen etc.. that the Note 2 uses, so i personally don't think you will notice much of a difference if any at all
Better screen real estate, youll notice that as a benefit of note 1. May be a little more sluggish also, but probably only nano seconds. As above poster sais, the jb leaks offer all the software benefits.

I think note2 doesnt have many differences with note1.the differences is just a quadcore procie,but that useless if you not playing intensiveb3d games right?and now almost all the software based feature of note2 can we see in leaked jb

That's it's O N E thing. It's it worth it for that?
Soon as we have the right kernel we can use swap 2 again to bump up ram. Plus o/c as well.I'm keeping mine and think updating every other model is plenty. It's just blogs paid to make you feel you are missing out which cause the doubts in what you have
From box 13......
Hey the note 2 has better battery management! Better than note 1 for your information. The battery last longer.

This phone destroys the Nexus 7

I got a nexus 7 for Christmas and don't even use it because of my nexus 4. I mean sure it has a bigger screen but it's slower and with the latest Paranoid Android update the screen on my nexus 4 is better as well!
I have a top of the line laptop and top of the line smartphone. Where does a dated tablet belong in this scenario? Maybe I could use it to watch Dragon Ball Z at the gym. Or load it up with porn and use it as a mobile fap station.
I think I'm just going to sell it, what do you guys think I could get for it? It's a mint 32gb wifi model.
Thanks a ton XDA!

You can't compare a phone with a tablet, but still I understand what you mean. The Nexus 7 is a value for money tablet with feature pack functionalities, but the screen is not up to par.

Why not use it for porn? Sounds fine to me. 7 inches is a usable size for anything sex-related (badum-tish)
the nexus 7 is much better for gaming(especially tegra optimized games) then the nexus 4.

dont think theres anything right now the adreno 320 can't handle. i mean come on, the unreal engine demo (epic citadel) ran on 60 fps on the N4. so it doesn't really make any difference. and the screen on the nexus 4 is significantly better than on the nexus 7.

My mate ran the spiderman man game on his nexus 7 and it lagged slightly, yet on my nexus 4 smooth as butter, yet it lags with vice city maxed out, not hard lag but in high intensity areas
But a lot of games are optimized for tegra and have added effects and graphics. I don't think he meant that it can't handle it, the nexus 4 is way more powerful. But games look better on the nexus 7.

Maybe wait for 4.2.2, because 4.2 runs like crap on Nexus 7.
I've noticed too that I'm not using my N7 much since I got the N4. For me though, it's more of a convenience thing. I kept close tabs on where the tablet was before I got the N4, but now I'm not caring as much where my wife leaves it.

Good decision. If not using it, sell it.
However, I use n7 more than n4 at home. I love my n7.

I absolutely despised the N7. Hated the screen, headphone out sound quality, and the build quality. I bought an iPad for my tablet needs. Most of the time you get what you pay for with the Nexus 4 being an exception. It's a sweet piece of hardware that's definitely under priced.

The Adreno 320 is way faster than Tegra 3, that's not the point. Gaming is still better on a tablet than a phone. Unless you have to tilt the device a lot .

What phone compliments the nexus 7

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".

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.

Definitely a nexus phone, either cheap used g'nex or 4. I determined to skip the n4 so I could get more than a years worth of use out of my g'nex (bought last july), but after playing with a friends its been tough not placing the order.
