N4 vs All Other Phones Discussion
Hey all!
I have been meaning to write this thread for a few days now and finally found some time to do so. Basically the name describes it all. This thread is meant to discuss our Nexus 4 vs any and every up coming phone all in one place. The nexus forum is going to be a very popular place once the phone makes it way out to people over the next few months. The purpose of this thread is to try to keep some sort of cleanliness and avoid the dozens of "Is this phone better than the N4" threads every time a new devices is released. Please keep all those discussions confined to this thread. Please keep it civil and remember no flaming or trolling will be allowed. Just a reminder I am certain the Mods will be enforcing this policy in our forum. Thank you all for your cooperation it is greatly appreciated :angel:

I love my Nexus 4.....but the only thing i wonder about is why did LG think it is OK to put the headphone jack on the top? My old nexus s has it on the bottom and it makes much more sense there.
This is two different category of phones, but Nexus 4 VS Note 2. Which is better at what and why?
I guess I'll throw my opinion out there...
After owning the first iPhone, 3G, then 3GS I decided to give Android a try with the Nexus One. It was all downhill from there as I was completely sucked into Android. I then went through a few different android phones from the Nexus one > HTC Sensation > Galaxy SII > Galaxy Nexus > Galaxy SIII. I was happy with all of these phones. However, when the iPhone 5 came out I decided it was time to give IOS a try again. I lasted all of 2 weeks with that phone until i realized I really just cannot stand IOS (even as a mac user). But the one thing that made me hesitant in going back to Android was that the build quality of the iPhone 5 is excellent. It was better than any other phone I had ever owned.
When the Nexus 4 was announced and reviews were being posted on many blogs I decided to return the iPhone 5 and pull the Galaxy Nexus out of the nightstand to use until I could get my hands on the N4. People were saying it was the most solid and well built Android phone to date so I was getting excited for it. As of 3 days ago I finally have the N4 in my possession. At first I really liked it but didn't think it was THAT much better than the Galaxy Nexus. But after a few days of real use I have come to learn that this phone truly lives up to the hype. It really is the most well built Android phone I have ever used and it's the first Android phone that I really think can be compared to the iPhone in terms of build quality.
I'm already happier with this phone than I have been with any of my previous phones. It really is of superb quality and I'd recommend it to anyone.

Agree with everything you saud. This is truely the first time Android has had a "premium" feeling phone.
Coming from a nexus s, the nexus 4 is a huge jump. I have read several posts/topics about all the problems people have encountered with the nexus 4 but I have yet to run into any of them. There has not been any screen yellowing, no speaker noise, camera problems, no overheating problems, etc. The build quality is excellent as stated in the previous post. There is a little flex in the device if you try bending it but there isn't and shouldn't be any under normal use. The screen is nice and crisp. I don't see any issues with saturation as some people disliked before. The battery life on the nexus 4 is better than the nexus s, which was plenty enough already. However, there is one area that the nexus s outperforms the nexus 4: the sound quality. Don't get me wrong though, the sound on the nexus 4 isn't bad at all but it could be improved. It would be great if we could get supercurio to add the Qualcomm chip to the list of devices that voodoo sound supports (if we could set up a fund for supercurio to work on this it would be awesome ). Other notes: I really liked the size of the nexus s and I really didn't want to get a larger screen, but the nexus 4 fits great in my hand and I am very happy with the extra screen estate. Overall I am extremely happy with the device and I would highly recommend the upgrade for any nexus s users.

better with headphone jack on top when you're pluggin aux in car. and the whole theory of "headphone jack is better on bottom for keeping phone in jeans and listening to music" is a load of crap. there are many ways to reach for your pocket lol, and having the jack on the bottom doesn't make it more convenient
Nexus 4 vs Optimus G
Why do you think Optimus is scoring 7,000 compared to 4,000 of Nexus 4 in quadrant benchmark test? They both got the same HW!
Droid DNA vs Nexus 4
I put this in another thread when I was trying to decided between the N4 and DNA.
Nexus 4 Pros:
-Unlocked bootloader, huge dev community
-Most recent software + updates
-Power button on side
-More affordable phone ($349 16gb) and GSM carriers are more affordable
-No Contract
-Resells well
Nexus 4 Cons:
-Touch screen sensitivity (doesnt register light touches, pinching+scrolling delayed)
-Issues with 4.2
-No LTE (yet, has Band 4 which is coming to Tmo soon and likely the new Google/dish network)
-Nav bar can take away screen real estate on the homescreen and some apps
-Light buzzing sound in earphone
DNA Pros:
-Taller 1080p screen, thin bezel
-Capacitive buttons
-4g LTE
-Mifare Classic NFC chips work
-Minimal amounts of software and hardware bugs, 4.1 is more stable
DNA Cons:
-Likely not to have as many ROM options. No S-OFF yet
-2 year contract! Verizon.
-1080p can result in pixelation or small icons in some games/apps
-Phone is more expensive ($599) and Verizon is more expensive
-MicroUSB cover (not a huge deal with wireless charging)
-Power button on top isnt the easiest to press, bad position too
-4.1 and won't get updates as often
Shared Attributes:
-Can be rooted, bootloader can be unlocked
-LCD Screen
-16gb Internal/No microsd
-Wireless charging
-Battery life ~4.5hrs screen-on time
-Great build quality (matter of opinion here, both are excellent in their own way)
my 2cent is that why people trying to vs nexus 4 to other smartphones out there, with 300-350 to get unlocked phone, fastest updates, no contracts. They say you get what you paid for but to me Nexus 4 is an exception!. Galaxy S3? Note 2? Iphone 5? HTC DNA? best cameras?, best specs?, best battery life?, all those are nice phones! but look at how much you have to pay?.

That'll be because benchmarks don't really prove anything, just like a review doesn't mean anything if it's from someone you don't know.
BTW Mark, I've just added this thread to the Nexus 4 Complete Index with a note telling people not to create any more threads of that kind

Im super unsure if i want to keep my lumia 920 or keep the nexus 4 (its still enroute to my home).
Basically for me it's Lumia 920 on AT&T LTE vs Google awesomeness on AT&T HSPA.

In my opinion lte shouldn't be a deciding factor. While it can be nice for certain things, your typical daily operations of the phone i.e. facebook, emails, xda and what not, your not really going to notice any difference

Well the day & half I had my nexus 4 I enjoyed it. It did start to grow on me, but I ended up trading it for an iphone 5 32gb unlocked After about 5 minutes setting up the iphone 5 I'd prefer to keep my iphone 4s with the mophie case. (Sold this morning for $420)

Just so I'm clear. You traded a N4 (worth ~400$) for a 32G i5 (~800) and sold the latter for $420? Those are some messed up transactions sir.

HTC One "Google Edition" Rumored for this summer. Interested or keeping Nexus 4?
Not sure if true, but it would make sense (pun intended) so HTC can keep up with Samsung.
http://phandroid.com/2013/05/20/htc...unning-stock-android-rumor/?utm_source=feedly
IF it comes out. I'll probably get it. i've been waiting for HTC to manufacture another Nexus phone. This is probably as close we can get it.
Hell Ya. Pure Android paired with a better camera, Mic, speakers, real LTE and build quality. I'll fork over the $649. Finally got to hold a HTC one this weekend..beautiful phone.

As much as I despise HTC for pairing with at&t to lock their phones harder than iOS. I will admit I do want the HTC one, but I don't want the "developer edition" or the carrier version. I probably would spend money for HTCs hardware with google's say in the matter. (fastboot oem unlock) for example.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I'd probably wait for the Nexus 5 and if it disappoints, then hopefully the HTC One and the SGS4 will be cheaper by then and I'll pick one of them up. Even better, we'll see how the dev scene plays out for these "Google Edition" phones and if the updates are truly from Google and such.
There is a thread for such discussion: [DISCUSSION] Google Nexus 4 vs any other phone
I am generally interested when the Manufacturers are willing to bring the Nexus experience to one of their phones.
Might not jump on this one, but it is a good start.
The Nexus 4 is still powerful enough, and I want to see how the not-so-smart button setup of the HTC One is used with a Nexus Experience version.
Cheers
i dont think i will ever get a non-nexus phone. i mean, okay, htc releases a pure vanilla phone, which will get updates. but android is developed primarily for nexus phones, thus android on nexus phones will be the way it was intended.
plus i dont even consider samsung phones because of their build quality, and im fairly unsure about htc's poor battery life.
only thing that could convince me to do a little detour of nexuses is the moto x phone. if it ever comes out with aosp and good battery life (only thing that bugs me in my n4).
Yes, god yes it's like the ultimate phone. But a lot depends on the timing. If it's launched after the new nexus or just a month before it not a good buy. But if it's launched in a month from now..

It seems Google has been so on point with nexus 4 and new nexus 7 plus all the updated apps I truly don't understand the point of the moto x. I mean at 200 on contract why would anyone buy this phone. Even though Google doesn't make the nexus why compete against yourself.
I have a feeling the nexus phone might either go away or not even be anything major this year. Its almost November what new processor would go in it. I am thinking this year the nexus 5 will be made by HTC and cost a lot more.
For some reason I like the material for the new nexus 7 and would like that as the back of the next nexus.

I mean, are they serious? Do they really think this is in the same league as the Galaxy S4 or iPhone 5 available at the same price?
I'm worried about a Nexus 5 now too. Cannibalize sales with a Nexus device or price the next Nexus way higher. Only the former is appealing to me and I'm sure it's not to Google.
I think the moto x is going to be a Microsoft kin type of failure. Is there some hidden features I am missing? HTC one, s4, new iPhone and even the nexus 4 are all better and same price. Why release all these versions like who cares for a dev edition x. I was thinking this phone would be free on contract and that would be the selling point.
Highly doubt a new nexus happening this year. I see Google just making the dev phones now.

LG said no.
Nexus 5 will be made by LG and so the Moto X does not have any bearing on it, or the Nexus program until such time that Motorola becomes a Nexus manufacturer.
This is just Moto still sucking. Not as terrible as before, but still bad.
Google needs to just take full reins of Motorola and turn them into a pure hardware arm of Google and not try to please everyone and end up pleasing no one.

They said no but they changed there mind. They just wanted to keep it a secret.
Also Moto X is only going to be released in the US as far as I read, which makes sense as its made in the US and customization from other countries will take time and effort.

Oh, I see. I don't see why they won't make their phones through Motorola since they own them. Better than paying Microsoft for phones that profit other companies.
I think Nexus 5 is the last project of the Nexus. Then Google completely focused on Motorola phones.

Since the Nexus 4 is rather faulty imo (both H/W rev. 10 & rev. 11) - bad battery performance, getting abnormally warm during normal use (hate it), poor software optimization etc, I doubt that Google will keep rolling the nexus project along with LG. Samsung were fine partners.

Not quite sure what you are talking about. If you are facing all those problems, try using stock everything and see if the problem persists. There are 6 Nexus 4s among my family and friends and we dont face any bad battery performance, any stutters or anything. We are all on stock.

You never had a HTC One X? This gets way hotter than the Nexus 4.
Plus Nexus 4 back is made of glass, which is the reason you feel the heat more. All other phone such as HTC One and Samsung S4 has the same problem. This is due to the Snapdragon chip, not because of LG.
why not in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021559]
After owning a HTC One and moving to the Galaxy S4, I went back to the beautiful White Nexus 4. The feel in the hand of the nexus 4 is superior to any phone I have owned even though it has some lower specs
not worried here, Moto X is aimed to completely different kind of users, Nexus is aimed more for developers and Android Fans, Moto X has a locked bootloader and will be distributed via carriers. I think that the challenge is for Samsung or HTC which sells devices in similar conditions (not to mention apple). I Also think it depends of the kind of user you are.

Completely agree. Although i own both HTC One and Nexus 4, i find myself using my Nexus 4 more than my HTC One.And if Google was to make it their last project, they may as well go out with a bang! I'm talking Sony Xperia Z water proof body, Nokia's 41MP with 6 or 7 (i dont know how many they have now lol) elements camera lens, and full AOSP OS = my dream phone.
Behold The Google Nexus Lumia Z....is what i'm thinking lol.
I just want the moto x to be ported
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Everyone something new comes out everyone starts complaining. So what that the moto x is running near stock with some cool features. So what that battery life is supposedly improved. So what that the camera is far superior. So what that Motorolas radios are usually really good. So what that benchmarks are on par with stock Nexus 4. So what that there will be a 32 GB Model. All the things that everyone complains about with the Nexus 4 is improved upon with the moto x. I love my Nexus 4. But I'm really tempted to get the developer addition depending on the cost. My concern is that asop based roms will not have all the features working since I'm sure all the teams are closed source

What is your reason for wanting a nexus 6? My reason is I want a device that delivers the full experience. I dont want to carry around more devices than i need to. I believe the nexus 6 can be my everything device for mobile. I wanted this after using a oneplus one for a little while. I really liked the big 5.5 inch screen and started to use my iPad less and less after getting it. All i keep thinking was if this was a little bigger and the resolution was a little bigger to match, it would be perfect. Well here came the nexus 6 with a 5.96 inch 1440p screen. I have a nexus 4 and have been loving it except the battery and the camera. So far from the hands on people are saying the camera and battery are better. Also the reception should be better than the oneplus on At&t. The nexus 6 looks big i hear it feels good in your hand and it is a beast with performance. After hearing this I immediately sold my iPad and my oneplus one. I am ready to carry around one device for all my mobile needs. I have big hands so i welcome the size.
What about you?
Android L which in turn means fast updates
Premium Nexus device (internal specs, big screen, front facing speakers, build quality, etc)
I need a good smartphone (currently using a temporary budget phone)
I think it's (one of) the best phones available
I want one for the Chip,native lollypop, size and cause I love my Nexus 5 experience so much that I run GPE on my HTC ONE M8 at&t model .oh and cause I just have to have multiple devices to keep me busy
AT&T HTC ONE M8
My last 11 phones have been Samsungs. I'm looking forward to zero lag.
My Nexus 4 has been showing its age lately in the battery department. I would be lucky to get 3 Hours SOT with the crazy battery. Plus if I reboot the phone in the middle of use my battery goes from 90% to 70% which drives me crazy.
While I know the N6 will not be the end all solution to my Battery life issues, I believe its no better time to upgrade since I skipped over the N5 in favor of this. Plus I am not wholly confident that the Next Generation Nexus devices will be viable for me if they end up becoming the first generation consumer ARA hardware. Something I would preferably like to avoid a year with until they can hammer out issues and wait out until the second generation hardware releases (2016-2017 release).
If* I can get my hands on a nexus 6 then I want one because of how easy nexus devices are to root, unlock and modify. and also because the device looks beautiful and has the specs to drool over. And of course pure stock android.
I too am currently using a budget phone(Optimus F6 anyone? haha) and can't wait for an upgrade.
I'm so tired of being on the outside looking in to the N5 community. Great ROM options, first available updates, and great Devs. Plus who know when we will see another Nexus device compatible with crappy VZW.
I bought the Galaxy Note 2 at launch, then upgraded to the Note 3 at launch. I loved both devices because I go crazy for hardware specs. I've never used a Nexus device before, but on both of my Notes, I realized that I mostly use AOSP custom roms... maybe about 90% of the times (I usually switch up custom roms every month), there's maybe one of two TouchWiz roms that I liked, but all the other ones were always always AOSP (or AOKP, close enough). Now that Google has decided to join the spec race, I for one am VERY VERY happy that the Nexus 6 is so expansive. You Get What You Pay For!!
The Nexus 6 won me over the Note 4, the specs are so incredibly similar it's ridiculous!
So yeah, Nexus 6, I wantz for all the amazing custom roms that will be available on this type of device with such incredible power hosted inside! Can't wait!
Tomorrow is another Play Store restocking days!! spam spam spam spam! lol

Good luck this Wednesday. I got my preorder last week.
Its the motorola nexus that we all thought would never happen. like Rossi going to ducati. I lust hope the phone works better then the ducati. Oh and there is the fact that my g3 is a lag beast. I pick up my wifes g2 and remember what a phone should run like sadly .
Screen size, fast charging, front facing speakers, lollipop and the fact that I have Jump and wouldn't get my monies worth if I don't use it.
Paranoid Android, the end.
Because Nexus, that's why
Cuz I can.
My reason is simple: screen size! Otherwise, I would keep the Z3
Official support and the dev community. And my Note 2 is dying.
I want one because I can't buy one...

sadly I am at work during the time they add stock(between 10 and 10:30) so i doubt i will get one tomorrow either.
After switching to the N5 from the iPhone 4, I liked the screen and eventually I realised I used it more than the tablet that I had and because of that a bigger phone would be the perfect one device for everything.
Ok I am about to get a new phone here next week. I want the nexus 6 or note 4. I come to yall to ask for some input since yall the nexus 6 already. How has yalls experience been with nexus 6? Thank you in advance
Considering you're on the Nexus 6 forum, most will probably recommend Nexus 6. It really depends on what's most important to you. The Note 4 has better battery life,easier one hand operation, a nifty stylus and it takes better pictures. The Nexus 6 has a better UI, better build quality, the quickest Android updates and a more rabid developer fanbase if you're into that sort of thing. The only downside to N6 ownership so far is actually ordering and receiving the device. I really only have positive things to say about the phone itself, its fast, lasts all day and feels great in hand.
You could always spend some time and read the 277 page thread debating the Note 4 vs Nexus 6. Lol

I would rather ask owners of the phone themselves. I know all the specs and features of both phones. I am a flash-aholic so I am leaning towards the nexus 6 because it has a ton of development over the note 4. The S pen and stuff Is cool. But will I every really use it. Thanks for your input.
Man its a lot to read on on this topic and a lot posted best advice I would say is search the forum to the top items need on your phone...
Great phone but if on Verizon you cannot talk and data so long call surfing web, FB, etc out...until Advance Call 1.0 (read on it)
If Veriozn not all can get LTE
Xposed - Love it for the hacks and Panda hacks but can't use it
Issues with sound for some speaker pop but can be other dev not modified for N6 yet but Google Music does work OK
Those are for me none may fit you but you need look at what you use most in a phone and search that to see N6 will work for you or go with Note 4...as business man I need voice/data together but a Verizon issue...read on it.

Xposed - Love it for the hacks and Panda hacks but can't use it
Issues with sound for some speaker pop but can be other dev not modified for N6 yet but Google Music does work OK
Those are for me none may fit you but you need look at what you use most in a phone and search that to see N6 will work for you or go with Note 4...as business man I need voice/data together but a Verizon issue...read on it.

I am on att but like I said development is a biggie for me. I was just wondering about problems with nexus 6. I have looked at the nexus forums and saw some stuff that bothered me. But it seems like it is mostly with Verizon. I think nexus it is for me.
Here you go.
Nexus 6 ordered and on the way. Yes

You did good. I am on ATT and have had no problems with custom Roms! You will be astonished at the lack of att boost on this phone!!!!

I'd stick with the Nexus 5 for a stock phone and the Note 4 if you want a big phone. I think there are performance issues with the Nexus 6. Whether or not it is because of Lollipop I don't know. I just know my Nexus 5 felt faster.

Pretty sure software updates will fix all the problems with the nexus 6. Note 4 development Sucks they have like 6 roms.

I thought that way with Nexus 4 and Nexus 5. IMO, from my past experiences; you will see some improvements with new updates but nothing major. I prefer note 4 because it has less issue comparing to Nexus 6. I had no choice but to return it. Again IMO, don't crucify me.

Not at all everyone has their own preferences. I was on the fence but I am a flash-aholic so the nexus development sold me. Plus I really liked the build quality of the nexus 6. It feels real solid. The note 4 looks great to but it feels like it a delicate flower. S pen I would probably never use. Camera I hardly ever use. The one thing that I will miss is multi tasking. But I will get over it. Thanks for your input.
