Interesting post but one I completely disagree with:
1. Some don't like the LCD screen on the Nexus and prefer the OLED screen of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Nexus. Personally I don't like the OLED screens because the colours just feel wrong to me (oversaturation on the greens especially). I absolutely love the screen on the Nexus 4
2. I haven't had any issue with Data connectivity. I've been testing alongside an iPhone 4 on the same network (o2 which some claim has the best coverage in the UK) and haven't had any issue with real time connectivity except a couple times when the train goes into a tunnel.
3. Battery life initially for my use was really poor but I then realised that it was because I was using my Nexus a lot more (discovering apps, playing games for long periods of time etc.). Once i'd settled with the device for a couple days, the battery usage was similar to that of the iPhone 4. This includes full data sync, 3G & WiFi enabled and everything and brightness set to auto. It really depends on usage in my opinion
I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Nexus 4 and couldn't be happier. I tried the Galaxy Nexus for a brief stint but the battery life was poor in standard usage and the screen always felt off. I was a major iPhone fanboy but my switch to the Nexus 4 has been nearly flawless (the ordering process was a bit of a faff)
- pkulak 14y agoIt sounds to me like he's on AT&T and doesn't have it set up correctly. I heard you have to do some APN weirdness to get it working properly on that network. Could be wrong though.
- elemeno 14y agoHis G+ says he lives in London so it's pretty unlikely he's using AT&T! Other than some slight differences in coverage, all of O2, Vodafone and EE (aka Orange + T-Mobile) should be roughly equivalent when it comes to not needing any tweaking to get your phone working properly.
- jcfrei 14y agototally agree on number 3: it seems like this is a very common mistake amongst smartphone reviewers, but only a few ever realize it.
- shy_coder 14y agothis. I noticed a significant battery life increase after the first few days. The reason? I wasn't playing with it all the time and I had everything tweaked the way I want. A lot of apps by default assume you want everything on and always connected, which causes the battery life to be shorter.
