Q. I was standing in the Verizon store debating between the I phone 4 s and the nexus. I read reviews on the nexus saying that battery life is horrible, like 4 hours with the extender battery. I walked out with the I phone, but I think I'm an android person. I was wondering what are your experiences with the galaxy nexus? Thanks
A. I have the Nexus and I love it. My last phone was the HTC Incredible, and I chose it on specs alone, and I was wrong in doing so. The best thing about the Galaxy Nexus is the lack of manufacturer meddling with the operating system. This means updates will be faster and more reliable, and without all the junk the phone runs faster than some phones with higher specs.
As far as the battery life, I too was worried, but even with the regular battery it's not too bad. I did get the extended battery however and I'm pleased with it. I don't make many calls, but on average if I take my phone off the charger before leaving for work I can do 15 min of music streaming on the way to work in the car, do roughly another 30 minutes of web browsing during breaks, and watch a 45 minute show on Netflix during lunch (which uses about 200-300 mb, in case you don't have the old unlimited plan) and the whole time I'm going in and out of 4G signal (through no fault of the phone) and still I have 40-50% left on my battery when I get home.
As I write this, according to the battery info in Android 4.0 my phone has been on battery power for 13 hours and 49 minutes and it still has 44% left. The screen accounts for 49% of the total drain, Android OS for 19%, Phone idle 14%, Cell Standby 12% and everything else 3% or less. Keep in mind this is with the extended battery.
The only thing some people may have a problem with is the camera. It's not the camera the 4S has, and indeed my old HTC had a better camera but it has some cool things like near-instant shutter speed and panoramic mode. Hands down it takes the cake on everything else though.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus cases?
Q. I just got a Galaxy Nexus and I've been looking for cases, mostly with some cool videogame decals, but there's nothing.
For iPhone, I know there's like a Zelda one and other cool stuff.
Where can I find such for Galaxy Nexus?
A. I see you are looking for decals and your best bet is to go with a Samsung Galaxy skin/decal from styleflip.com. You can customize the skin to your taste (videogames) and the skin is protective and durable and will last the lifetime of your phone! Check out the website and good luck!
samsung galaxy nexus v. iphone 4?
Q. which one? currently I have a basic phone but I want to get a smartphone before my contract is up, mainly because college and I really want one. I'm stuck between two phones though. I would like some help deciding! :) I'd only be having this for about a year (thats when I'd be able to upgrade) so, I'd like something that could be supported/last that long. I'll be buying either of these used, by the way.
Samsung Galaxy Nexus:
Pros: I like the large, crisp screen
The ram (I guess??)
The thinness is really really nice
I like android in general with the wide array of customization
Google's OS looks very minimalistic and much, much nicer than a lot of phones (imo)
Cons: Idk if that phone will keep getting updates (will it??)
It's a 4g LTE phone meaning I'd have to get the phone, then order a LTE card through Verizon to activate it
Iphone 4:
Pros: I like the look of the phone
I really like how apple products sync all together/I feel like it'd be easier to find cases 'n such
iMessage
(This is weird but) I like the silent/vibrate button thing
Emojis
Since it's 3G I could just activate it in store/on the phone
I was looking at getting a 32 GB version and if I did I could give my ipod to someone else in my family and just put all of my music on there
Cons:
The processor is lacking compared to the 4S and newer phones
It's older, meaning that it may not support certain apps/things
It's smaller
Help???
A. Well Nexus 4 and iPhone 4 really have no good comparison. Nexus 4 is way advanced in technology while iPhone 4 is 2010's technology.
Nexus 4 has pros like:
- 1280* 768 res, 4.7" screen @318PPI (vs 960*640 res, 3.5" screen @330PPI)
- Corning Gorilla Glass 2
- 2Gb RAM (vs 512MB RAM)
- 8 MP Camera with 1080p HD recording (vs 5MP camera with 720p recording)
- 1.5Ghz Quadcore processor (vs 1Ghz Single core processor)
- 2100mAh Battery (vs 1420mAh Battery)
Obviously the most updated apps on Apple app store would not run perfectly for iPhone 4 so no use in buying the old technology. Go for the Nexus 4
