Did you sell your Nexus 4? Are you going to?

Sold it/Traded it and happy
Sold it/Traded it and regret it
Going to sell it
Going to keep it
Unsure
4. Going to keep it for a year.
The price is pretty good so I could afford to upgrade yearly and it would still be the same price as other devices...only thing that kills is the ****en wait! And order process!
It's definitely a keeper for now!
4.
Probably.
Within the first day or so I seriously considered selling and buying a second hand GS3 but I've fallen in love with this phone! Love it. If i keep it for more than a month or two that'll be a good innings

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.

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".
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.

I'd have to say the Optimus One

Anyone waiting for nexus 5 while skipping N4, Sony Z, HTC one, S4 and anything else i

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.

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.

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.

Yea but they first launched jellybean on the gnex when it was already 8 months old at the time instead of bringing out a new phone to launch jellybean with.

Sent from my ADR6350 using xda app-developers app
I'm happy with mine. It's a learning curve coming off a long line of HTC phones, but the S4 is a great phone.
I've never used a Note 2, so can't comment on that.
I had a note 2 and at times I prefer a smaller phone. I tried the HTC One and it was to small. S4 seems just right. If you can might want to try and wait out for the Note 3.
Love since after the update just wish this keyboard was better. I like the stock keyboard but it is terrible to type on for me anyway.

Try swiftkey. Its amazing.
As to the post this phone is amazing. Good battery life. Faster than the note 2. Very responsive. Overall its great. The stock keyboard is off but everything else is good.
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
I had the same decision to make and overall, size of the phone made my final decision for me. I already have a Nexus 7 tablet and I just didn't see the point in having a 5.5" phone. 5" is probably the largest I'd ever want to go on a smart phone.
Overall I'm extremely happy. This is the first smart phone I've had where I'm in no rush to move away from stock.
Went from Single core ---> Dual core ---> Quad core. Oh yes, I'm very satisfied. :beer:
Really like the slim ROM and the KB that comes with it.

I hated the stock keyboard, why would they make the space bar so small. I didn't really like swype either. I just installed the stock android keyboard.

I've had both and while I'm really loving the S4 I definitely miss the larger screen of the Note II. I have small hands but I was starting to get comfortable with the size of the Note II when the S4 came out and I jumped ship.
Basically I'd say you can't go wrong with either.
I'm really liking this phone. It does come with quite a bit of bloat from Samsung and Sprint. I installed ForceROM 1.0 which has all of that gone. I upgraded from the E4GT and it's a HUGE difference. I love the 1080p screen and 1.9Ghz quad core. Tons of power in a little phone.

Are you still planning to get your nexus 4?!And what you like the most?

Hey so I am getting the nexus 4 next week.....so I wanted to know if the nexus 4 is still hot stuff!so how many of you are actually planning to but it now period?and what attracts you toward the n4?
My likes:nexus device direct updates,android 4.2,glass back,processor,ram,screen and onscreen nav bar
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.
