Depends on what you want out of an Android phone. You can't buy the Nexus One directly from Google, you can with the Nexus S though (and Best Buy). I still have the Nexus One and I really don't see myself even considering the S due to the lack of things I need (FFC is useless, plastic throws me off).

So if I buy N1 would it be upgradable to honeycomb? And is it fast compare to x10? That's what I currently have?

I have the nexus one, but if i could choose now - I'll definitely go for the Nexus S without a doubt.
The touch screen on the nexus one is abysmal. It has multiple freezing issues, and a boatload of bugs that no one is bothering to fix. It's also much slower than the S... i've had a play on my brother's S, and it's so smooth, responsive.. amazing phone.
Also, you're guaranteed to survive at least 1 Android upgrade with the Nexus S, seeing as it's the flagship google dev phone as of now. The nexus one... not sure how much longer it can go. probably a while, but that would be do to the mod community and not the official channels.
Go Nexus S and don't look back.

Yes it will. You are basically comparing phones with the same hardware, both 1 GHz, 480 x 800, 5 MP, capacitive buttons, etc. Updates should be reasonably quick depending on how Andy Rubin runs things.
Oh and the major difference being that the Nexus One has dual noise canceling mics, phones calls are going to be crisp and better for the person on the other end. The Nexus S has a front facing camera, once Skype gets on Android, it might take off.

I have the Nexus One and my wife has the Nexus S. Neither is rooted. I find the USER EXPERIENCE on the Nexus S to be MUCH BETTER than the Nexus One. Larger and brighter display that you can use outside. Not the fingerprint magnet the Nexus One is. Much smoother touch screen experience. And I don't know what all the fuss is about the plastic case vs the metal case. I find it very sturdy and it even feels better in your hand. It's faster at almost everything. You can even hear the speakerphone. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nexus One. But if some one ask me if i would trade it for a Nexus S... Without any hesitation YES!

Fingerprinting on the battery door. If you get fingerprints all over the Nexus One battery door, I am surprised. On the Nexus S, not so much.

I had the n1 one for about a year and upgraded to the nexus s just 2 weeks ago. I find the battery life to be amazing (full day normal use) on the nexus s. The most important improvement has been the touch screen, not cause i play games, but for typing. I noticed that im making less mistakes on the nexus s and my speed has gone up substantially, i also had gingerbread on my n1.

Go with the Motorola Atrix or a new tablet.

Tablets are for sick people.
Both Nexus phones are great and both have their problems...but nothing is perfect!

I had the nexus S for about two weeks before I had to return it since T-Mobile service is horrible where I live.
I've gotta say that the S is better in most aspects. The screen is amazingly bright and easy to read in sunlight. The screen also registers fast typing much better, so I make a lot less mistakes.
Stock gingerbread is so fast and smooth.
However I didn't like the glossy plastic construction on the NS. It was a fingerprint magnet. Also, the quality control on new units were terrible.

Leak: Droid Incredible 3 Pictures

Pictures of a new HTC device running Ice Cream Sandwich and Sense 4.0 were leaked. The device is heading for Verizon and it will have LTE capabilities!
Check out the source for pics of the new device running sense 4.0.
Source

This might be a true successor to the original Droid Incredible. Some sites are saying AMOLED, so that would be nice. I'm not a fan of SLCD. Now, if only they can do something about battery life. That's the reason I didn't go to Rezound (oh, and the fact that the phone was way too thick in the first place).
I'm really torn. I like HTC Sense (Yeah, I guess I'm in the minority) but the battery on the Razr Maxx makes me want to overlook that I am not a fan of Moto's UI as much and their screen issues. If by some miracle HTC has addressed battery size/life, I think this will be my next phone.

Looks nice and all, but I'm pretty reluctant to purchase another snapdragon phone. Sense can be cool but future-proofing is cooler. As we all know from our Adreno 200 woes, snapdragon products are not future-proof and qualcomm has made no effort to collaborate with the community to bring us updated video drivers or open source userspace drivers. I'm voting with my wallet on this one.

I want the Incredible 3 to be the same size as the original. I don't want/need a ginourmous screen. I just want a perfect size device, aka the original, with updated guts. Thanks.

I want a big phone bigger than iPad lol (that's a little to big but u get my point )
Sent from my ADR6400L using xda premium

Here's what this phone's gotta have for me to get one: a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset, an HD screen that is NOT pentile, and a battery that approaches 2000 mAh.
I would also like to be able to turn Sense off and go plain vanilla, or I'd like to use a launcher of my choice.
I've been eligible for an upgrade since January 4th. It's hard holding off until MWC and CTIA... If I don't see anything I like, it will be an LG Spectrum for me.

I just don't know anymore...by the time I upgrade Jellybean will be in full force so..yeah

I only did a 1 year (remember those) upgrade when I got my Incredible.. and I got it day 1...
There has been nothing yet to want me to change to a new phone...
What I want: CDMA / GSM / LTE on 1 chip (which should be in phones by end of year - will definitely help battery life if everything was on one)... Super Amoled.... 4 inch Screen (slightly bigger than the Incredible.. but not huge like the others. I have big hands.. really big.. but its a phone.. not a tablet I want)... GREAT camera... And long battery life (hopefully fixed with my first wish)...
I'm not an Android fanboy.. or an iOS fanboy.. I just want a phone to match what I want.

Hmmm... I'll probably miss my optical track "ball". I rarely use it but comes in handy for editing.

I couldn't agree with you more. That's one of the main reasons that I have upgraded my device (besides the fact I love my Dinc), if I can barely fit it in my pocket, that is a problem.

Looks good but from the pics I saw of the sgs3 I might get a Samsung next. 12mp cam, tegra 3, and ics sound great

I just want to see Verizon's line of phones for this summer so I can make an informed decision. Rumors are great but the one thing not mentioned is becoming more important, battery capacity.

Looks huge. Why have all the companies gotten caught up in a screen size pissing contest? We need another RAZR that is thin AND small. Not like the current one, which is closer to a machete than a razor.

What to buy: LG, HTC X+, Note II

First I could not buy a G3 because the rounded corners was something I could not live with. The corners on the Note 2 are NOT rounded as much, and with a Otterbox case will be not as noticeable. The specs on the note 2 are almost perfect. The PPI is a bit lower but what I've been reading not that noticible.
The LG Optimus G has a PPI of 440 and I am sure the screen will appear much finer and crisper. The negative aspects of the Optimus G however could be a bit scarry...bad support, and a bad reputation for not supporting their phones.
The HTC One X+ specs are not very clear at this point, so it is an unknown at this point. The One X was inviting to me style wise, but the phone does NOT multitask, add in a non removeable battery and no card slot, and you have to run the other way. The update to Jelly Bean may fix the multitasking issue, but that remains to be seen.
One the Note's plus side, we also have a removeable battery, and a 64gb SD card slot, a notification LED,and NON PENTILE amoled display, 2 gigs of RAM, quadcore processor, all of which makes it quite inviting. I really cant think of any negative aspects to the phone at this point.
I've been on my Atrix 4G since March of 2011 and it has served me well. I got the Nexus 7 and that has satisfied my tablet craving for sure. The Nexus 7 has a LAG ISSUE which I assume google will address and fix at some point.
Switching between my Atrix with its 4" screen, and the Nexus' 7" screen is interesting. My Atrix actually runs smoother and so upgrading the phone to something a little bigger, faster, and better is very critical to me.
We may not know exactly what the negative aspects of the Note 2 are until it is released. I learned a hard lesson with the Nexus 7. With all the hype and great reviews of it, NOONE mentioned the lag issues and other quirks. If the Note performs and feels as good as I think it will, I may sell the Nexus 7 if the wife doesnt want it .
So really the main point here is I wouldnt preorder ANYTHING anymore until it is relased to the public and vetted because everyone, the companies, the reviewers, the magazines, all want to hype everything to death, even before it is released, AND there has only been ONE main report on the serious NEXUS LAG ISSUE even months after it has been released and well known. What I can say for sure is that I'll never buy an Iphone.

Depends what you are after and use your phone for, but all 3 seems they will be very nice on their own way.
I always get all new phones and normally use 2 phones at a time, one for daily use and one play phone. In the end i always end up using phones i thought I should use last.
Like now after a good while on s3 i did go back to my HoX as I just like that screen and feeling of the phone..
But the device i really want is Lumia 920 tho, but till that comes I for sure gonna give note2 and ip5 and other nice devices a shot..
Skickat från min HTC One X via Tapatalk 2

I was all for the Optimus G initially. The "poor support" thing did concern me but I figured the devs on xda would more than cover that. I could even just about tolerate the non removable battery.. But the lack of an SD card slot just killed it. I bought a 64GB Micro SD not long ago and I wouldn't have any use for it.
The HOX+ looked interesting too but just like the LGOG, the lack of expandable memory is a deal breaker for me.
That left the GNote2.. Big screen, RBG as opposed to pentile, user-replaceable battery (I have an extended battery in my GS2 now), more than ample internals for what I plan to use it for, it's a Sammy flagship (good support), and of course, expandable memory.
Imho, the GNote2 is the way to go, but of course, that's just me

I'm getting the Note II...soon. The LG Optimus G has amazing specs. That processor may be faster than the Exynos 5250 when it comes out. It will undoubtedly the fastest processor until then. We'll just have to wait and see. But after much research, there are so many people saying they'll never buy LG phones again and they regret buying it. 2 years is a long time to live with buyer's remorse. Phone looks great, but the warning screams are too loud to ignore.
The HTC One X+, I thought for a long time that people who used the HTC One X absolutely loved their phones, and I think this is still true. However, I have followed some users who have the privilege of owning both HTC One X and Galaxy S3 who have given equal face time with both phones, and the it is clear the HTC One X has flaws with how their multitasking is implemented that it unnecessarily wares on your patience, time, and battery power. If you don't own both devices, you probably don't know what you are missing.

Yes stay away from LG, i have the G2x and yes while on paper its a great device the lack support from LG and 0 support from nvidia has left the first dual core phone in the states still running gingerbread unless you want to run ICS with no video drivers.

note 2 vs one x

frnds which one is the best ?
galaxy note 2 vs. htc one x

and why? better
...why

the gn2 is way batter than the HOX... no argumentation needed

depends what you want,
ive just moved from a one x to the note 2 and for me it was a wise choice.
the battery on the one x was awful at best, it would never last the whole shift at work unless i had a mobile charger.
the ui on the one x is much more pretty than the note 2 (i still really dont like that touchwiz [email protected]) but touch wiz has more features and can be customised more.
the screens are imho nicer on the one x, (ducks) expecially when put side by side, but on thier own they both look really nice so dont make that a deal breaker.
build quality is very nice on the one x, the note 2 is plastic but fills solid so no worryies there.
if your a very light user that very rarely plays with the phone get the one x (dont even think about gaming or videos), it will last all day and some if you dont use it, but if you want to use the smartphone as intended get the note 2, i run audiobooks all day with mine and still walk in though my front door with over 60% battery life, the one x would be on its second or third charge at that point.
memory is the other deal breaker for me know along with removable batterys, the note 2 has both of these removable the one x is fixed (iphone like). After 6 months of useage nearly of the one x i would never ever EVER pick a phone that had non removable batterys and memory again.
the other deal breaker is you cannot root the one x without (maybe) voiding your warrenty - htc cannot make its mind up to void or not so they put a may* in the terms and conditions, result being if you have a minor fault with your phone thats been rooted they will change the mainboard every time even if its nothing to do with it and charge you for the priviledge.
these are the issues i came accross look in the htc one x area and you will see excatly what i mean.
you just need to decide if the phone is too large - i fine it a bit cumbersome but fine to use as a every day phone / media player.

I could understand one x+ but one x doesnt even come close. At least the one x+ has a larger battery and a higher clocked cpu. It should be note 2 vs optimus G or nexus 4.

Well, seeing as the Optimus G was released, i'd say in terms of performance, that is top dog (the S4 beating out Exynos... although no S pen or cool features like S apps, etc). But of course, both phones are extremely fast (and some people dislike LG phones due to lackluster support)

Thanks for the pics, I have to say, the HOX has seriously large bezels (I used to bash on Samsung phones for that, but this latest generation fixed that problem).

Is it actually worth it?

I'm considering the nexus as my replacement for my HTC one x. Is it worth it as it costs 4398 HKD ~550USD here?

I don't know if it's THAT much of a step up from a One X...I might actually prefer my One X+ to the N4...but that's still up for some testing, but right now I'm leaning towards the OX+.

Nexus 4 isn't really much of a hardware upgrade, if any, but it enjoys unprecedented firmware support. Good luck getting any new versions of android on the one x. If you want your updates quickly then the nexus it's the only choice.

I went from the HTC One X to the Nexus 4...
Eh
I don't think it is a huge step up from the One X. The processor may be faster but the S4 in the One X is mighty quick in its own right. You barely even notice the extra gig of RAM too. I don't know how gaming is affected because i barely ever game on my smartphone so i wont comment on that aspect. I'm in Canada so i get LTE on my Nexus 4 but the One X had LTE too so no change there. Both have 16gb of space. The recovery is a preference issue as i prefer the CWM to TWRP which the One X needs to use (CWM doesn't run properly on it).
Camera is downright a thing i miss though. The One X has a fantastic camera better than the Nexus, hell its better than most any other smartphone. And the screen itself is far better than anything on the market (Nexus 4's is not as bright). Its blacks were far darker than the Nexus. But neither are as nice as an AMOLED screen.
The physical feel is also a personal preference where i loved the polycarbonate soft touch feel of the One X over the glass of the Nexus. I never used a case with the One X whereas with the Nexus i need one. The unibody construction HTC has got down to an art...i hope the next nexus is an HTC (or a Sony but that's another topic).
There are many issues but if i had to go back and give myself advice i would tell me to stick to the One X.

I'm using the international variant of the One X, with Tegra 3. Most Gameloft games are either incompatible or running badly, and the CPU governor is to powersaving. However, I do love Sense, but I don't like the speed of updates as well and I game a lot. The 16 GBs aren't really that much so I'm really thinking about it since I will trade in my One X for the Nexus 4.

You just making this thread is just simply making an excuse to justify upgrading so you don't feel as bad for spending money towards a new phone.
Don't think about it, just be about it and buy it. Otherwise you're just going to be obsessed about it and end up buying the phone two weeks later. It always happens to me, "I will not do it" but yet I keep looking at the forums and look what happens..... It happened.

No idea. In psychology class I learned people make threads like this to justify their purchases because they feel better about themselves for whatever purchases they make that aren't necessarily a necessity purchase.
If you want the phone, buy it. We shouldn't have to convince you otherwise. It's as simple as that. Do your own research and determine what you want. If you made the thread in the Galaxy S3 forums with the same posting, they'd tell you to get the S3. All you're going to get here are biased posts. It's one sided, op wants to feel better and more confident in his purchase

are the gangsters going to say that the other gang is better? hell no... they would obviously say theirs is the best to have more members. its biased and common sense. if i was going to post in the one x forum saying, one x or gs3? one x or n4? ... they would say one x.
you're paying more than what the phone is sold for, $299-$349 is the default price via Google Play. if you buy it from eBay / etc, its ~$529ish as any other off contract device.
GPU throttling issue: it isnt an issue. its done that way by default as it is on the Galaxy Nexus. who cares about benchmarks. just DO WHAT YOU WANT / LIKE. if you like your one x, then stick with it. just at the origination of your OP post you didnt like the one x.
its really YOUR decision and none of ours. im not going to beg you to get the phone, its your decision and your money. spend it how you like, that's all i have to say. i dont get any of these "worth it" threads. its obviously something thats going on in your head. if you're looking for opinions then read reviews about the phone or use the search feature and look up people's reviews / opinions about the phone in 10+ other threads before having to make your own for attention on whether you should get it or not.

The Nexus 4 is just a much better device than the HOX, even if they were both the same price. I honestly haven't looked back and am so glad I sold it to cover the cost of my Nexus. Things I don't miss about my One X:
Awful battery life - I get 5 hours on screen time with my Nexus and easily lasts a day, my One X was dead at about 2 hours screen time and needed to be charged twice a day at least.
The heat/ Tegra 3 - Tegra is just an awful CPU end of. My One X would get so hot from general use, JUST listening to music with the phone turned off 45C, browsing 50C, playing games 50C+. My Nexus doesn't hit more than 35C normal use and 40C under heavy use.
The lag - Sense as a launcher is laggy, but I fixed that with Apex, but even then it wasn't buttery smooth around the OS. So I installed a JB CN10 ROM and it was pretty much buttery smooth. However after using the nexus 4 for a bit and you notice what real speed and smoothness is about.
Multitasking - Plain and simple, the One X cant really multi task. It's a mess. Just watching app redraws constantly got annoying. What I will say is that having the soft keys has increased the amount of times I use the task switcher because it's so effortless and smooth. This is probably something you won't appreciate till you have soft keys.
Locked bootloader - Yes you can unlock it, but through HTC so it means that HTC can simply wave away your warranty now.
There are good things about the One X, it's screen is still the best and depending on preference the design is nice. However comparing them side to side one thing is obvious, the Nexus looks and feels like a grown ups premium device, the sort of feeling you get when hold an iphone (I think we all get that feeling, lets not deny it).The One X is designed very well, and best out of other android devices, but you never get the premium feel. Also the camera on the Nexus 4 so far, has been pretty much garbage under low light conditions.
Only, and I really mean this, keep the One X if you really like HTC sense!

The only reason I would suggest making that jump is if you REALLY want a Nexus for the great platform openness. The One X is a good phone still.
