Q. I want to get one of these to use as a WI-FI only device, which one would be better?
I want something that is great to play and have apps/games on, good functionality, and good design.
A. DEFINITELY get a Samsung galaxy nexus. For several reasons:
User interface: a stock version of android 4.1 is the best experience on a mobile device (my opinion)
Operating system: again, android is top notch, especially with the added "project butter" in Jelly Bean.
Apps: Android has WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more apps than windows phone.
Design: you will not find a sexier phone than the galaxy nexus.
Conclusion: deffinetly go for the nexus
Another pro... With a google nexus device, your guaranteed to get every android update :)
Iphone 4s or Samsung Galaxy Nexus ?
Q. What should I get ? / Which is better ?
A. You are comparing Apples with Oranges. The reason why I state that is currently they are two very different phones. ICS bring Android Devices to defiantly to a point that they can easily compete with iOS but iOS will always beat Android on certain things and look more polish unless Google goes back and fixes some of they way they handle certain things. Its like comparing Windows to Linux 10 years ago (windows has gotten more into the open source of things recently with .net a whole community codeplex.com). There are benefits to being a very closed architecture versus an open one that anyone that wants to can know your weaknesses. Its really personal preference Im not a big fan of Apple as a whole because for the most part they have done everything Microsoft did and then some but did not get the grief until recently. And did not become a real compeditor again until OSX which really isn't fully Mac any more its got a unix Kernel with a Mac container.
Regardless of the phone you pick you will get a good phone. If you want to root and hack your phone the Galaxy Nexus is the way to go. IF you want flash stay away from IPhone. Flash will probably only really be around for a couple more years as a lot of the things flash did can be done with HTML5 and JavaScript.
If you are not into rooting your phone (you can jailbreak an IPhone). Also the IPhone 4s is only 3g, it might use hspa+ but Im not sure. If you really want an IPhone I would probably wait until the IPhone 5 came out because that should be 4g.
The IPhone does have impressive hardware and specs an 8mp camera but a 5mp will let you take a picture that can be printed on an 8x10.
The resolution on the Galaxy nexus has a higher dpi and resolution, but is using a pen tile screen which from my understanding does not give as nice of clarity as a regular screen but at over 300 dpi you dont notice it. But a PenTile screen lets you use a stylus or your finger so in some aspects the slight lose of clarity that you will probably wont notice could be very nice especially in a tablet to where you might draw things. The galaxy nexus will have nerdy extras like NFC and a barometer. You have to ask what do you want and whats important.
Samsung S3 vs. Galaxy Nexus?
Q. Which one is the better phone? Are they overall the same?
A. Hi I recommend the Galaxy Nexus, I bought it here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005ZEF01A/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005ZEF01A&linkCode=as2&tag=acomprar-20
This is my experience with the Galaxy Nexus:
The Galaxy Nexus is an awesome device with a stunning display. Despite many other reviews online, ICS (the new version of Android launching with this device) is pretty easy to navigate/figure out. It does have a learning curve (even for die-hard long-time Android users), but much of the OS has been made more intuitive- one just has to step back and quit over-thinking what you are trying to do (or remembering previously complicated menus for those of us that have been around Android for a while), as (generally) everything you need is right there on the screen (unless you can't do it).
My only two complaints are:
1.) Many apps still have not been updated to play nicely with ICS by their developers (but this will change when Verizon launches the device and ICS becomes more prevalent), and
2.) The price. This phone is expensive, and while completely worth it for power-users such as myself, many people will struggle with this. The main reason for expense right now is the fact that it must be imported to the US from the UK (and soon Japan/Germany/elsewhere?), so there are fees and shipping associated with that. Also, once the device does officially launch here in the US, Verizon (and other carriers hopefully) will subsidize it and bring the price down a bit).
Some people complain about the camera on this phone, but as with any other camera phone, there is a lot of variation. Yes there are bad pics out there on the various forums, but there are a lot of really good pictures taken with it by people who know the ins and outs of photography. The shutter and operation of the camera is lagless (perfect and fast), and I have found it to perform better than any of my other phones in low-light situations. It performs (in my experience) on par with the iPhone 4 (I have not played with a 4s yet so I can't say anything about that device). At the end of the day, if you want professional pictures, buy a professional camera. No phone will give you the quality of a DSLR. This phone is much more than sufficient for capturing the quick memories relevant for sharing via email/text messages or social media.
Also, there is a bug where the firmware does not debounce the volume rocker properly (there is an unshielded radio amplifier located near the rocker's circuitry that when connected to or near 2G signal on the 900 mHz band the volume rocker will think it is being pressed due to the interference), a software OTA update began being pushed out to phones yesterday (11/30/2011) to fix this issue (verified by many user reports to have fixed it). This issue affected only users outside of the US (we do not use the 900 mHz frequency band here in the states). If nothing else, this illustrates the greatest reason to buy this phone. The issue was discovered as widespread Sat. 11/19, Google's firmware fix is dated (as being compiled on/completed on) 11/21 (the following Monday), and the 9 days in between fix completion and deployment is due to testing and logistics of pushing out an OTA update. 11 days from issue identification to resolution, which is outstanding. The main reason to buy this phone is Google's dedication to this product line (the "Nexus" Series) and its software. No waiting on carriers and OEMs to write/modify/reject/etc. each little update the phone gets.
