Galaxy S3 or Nexus 4

Hi guys,

Just received the info that Nexus 4 is on preorder in flipkart
I was planning to buy an S3 soon but now I am confused between the two.
So please help me decide.

Thanks in advance.

I too was interested in this same topic, and started going through reviews and comparisons online.

with the Nexus 4, u only get assured & quick updates to newer android versions.
The SoC and RAM(2GB) are a little better.

But overall the S3 edges over, as its got a better cam, better display & additional TouchWiz features.
The hardware is good enough to handle most modern games too.

It is more VFM if both are priced similarly.

^^ Trust me on this that gs3 sucks at multitasking.. that was one of reasons I sold it. 1GB is not enough just because of Samsung's all bloatware...

Plz have a look at my own tread on xda.....
Multitasking is not s3's cup of tea. - xda-developers

I love the nexus 4. But in today's world of HD recording and high end games, I'll have to pick the S3 simply because of external memory support.
The N4 will piss you off in the long run.

Not for many users I am having S advance 16GB still 10GB is free have only used 4GB

^^ Yup 16 gig is enough.. Watch movies on pc or led's ....

If want to watch movies nowadays they come under 700MB with 720P so no need of Microsd card. Today even i am not using memory card.

@rohan check your pm

Nexus 4

Nexus 4 . Far better the S3.

And the actual available memory will be ~13GB. But still 13G is far more than enough for ME

Nexus 4, if memory not a problem........

My S2 has 16GB internal mem, of which 12GB user accessible & has only 4GB free space. Also using a 16GB SD card with 7GB free space(out of ~14GB)

Nexus 4 any-day!

One Question, Now, that it has been launched in India, Is there any warranty if I get it from one of my visiting relatives from the USA?

Y u want to buy it from U.S still
Nope no warranty from U.S.

If 16 GB, outta which around 13 GB will be available to the user, memory aint an issue then I would suggest Nexus 4!!

Yes that's what we were saying memory ain't an issue. With N4 16GB but with 8GB it is.

i will wholeheartedly buy the Nexus 4.

I Even am Getting The Nexus After having Note 2 , Xperia S on hand with Me .. Because Nexus Is Freedom !!

I agree nexus 4 had beast processor with s4 pro snapdragon with 2GB ddr3 but what about camera and battery life.
Gsmarena also rate S3 bettery camera then nexus 4 and s3 battery last 50hrs but nexus 4 only 32hrs.

if you keep cancelling the background processes, N4 too will give close to 50hr battery backup. Wait for Galaxy S4 Google Edition's review to pop up. i can bet it'll have lower battery life than S4 because Samsung can't apply its own crazy tweaks like limiting background processes.

nexus 4 is too good but camera lag in front of s3.

So camera lags if it sees s3?

I own a Nexus 4, camera is decent enough. You also get photosphere mode which is awesome! And camera quality is comparable to GS3, only full-hd recording could have been better IMO.

Ok.. How would the N4 fare compared to xperia sp?

Just remember one thing love nexus because its a nexus and nothing else. -Ayuclack

Err. Isn't N4 shoots 1080p @ 30 FPS?

Obviously I know that

I meant that the full-hd recording quality could have been better!

Maybe I should have phrased it better
