Google Nexus 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S III: Fan favorites

21 December 2012
Android devices come from all walks of life, but in each generation there is a "chosen one". In 2012, it's the Nexus 4 and, as an overall package, this is probably the best Google has ever delivered. Yet, by a mean twist of fate, it has the most formidable...

      So the purest form of android came on top again. Hard luck for plastic fans. Still we on the same boat, just class being apart, where Nexus getting lollipop and galaxy enjoying a break back at economy class both flying android international airlines.

          Was a happy Nexus 4 user until yesterday when after going out of juice and restarting the phone I lost all network connection whatsoever. All of a sudden just like that. Tried everything, from unroot to factory reset to switching radio band preferences nothing works. And my SIM works in other phones and no other SIms work in mine, so its definitly the phone.

          Did some research and found out it might have to do with the radio image in Android 4.3, quite a few people affected by this and google seem to know about it too.. Hoping for a fix on 4.4. It s*cks because I really liked that phone, but now it feels like a let down, especially since the phone is only 2 months old.

          Anyway, if anybody had a similar issue and can help me, I would be glad to go back to my Nexus. Until then I found a 3 month old S3 for 200$ which will haveto do the trick I guess =s

                The Nexus 4 require to root and use custom kernel to unleashed the power. Once it used custom kernel, the battery can last longer than S3, the IPS+ screen much better than the stock kernel screen. The antutu benchmark shoot up from 16k to 21k (no need oc). Just the camera still sux

                        I think it would be a fair comparison of a Nexus 4 and a SumSung S4, rather than with a Samsung S3

                                    Sorry but even after a million words in your review in favor of the cheap looking s3, the Nexus 4 is the real people's champ and only one thing is cheap about it - the price.
                                    I am posting this comment using a nexus 4 and yes it is miles more awesome than, I'm my opinion, all the other smartphones.
