hello guys,I wanna get a nexus phone,but don't know whether to get galaxy nexus or nexus 4,what i like about galaxy nexus is the design,smooth touchscreen,and better built quality than nexus 4,what i like about the nexus 4 is the awesome specs and the back dot design,but i see nexus 4 has alot of problem like back glass crack,touchscreen not responsive,and some other defects

depends ur budget... gnexus is a good investment now if u don mind. nexus series price value will drop vy soon compare to others .

i have no budget in nexus devices,so thats why im asking,and both almost same price

if no budget, then sure nexus4

look at the problems people are facing,and build quality still not better than galaxy nexus

im planning to get a phone. the xperia go first caught my eye. but after a while the motorola razr seems a better choice. any better phone at this price range?
thanks

Personally, I would go with Nexus 4, but it's your money in the end, , so I say you test both phones yourself and decide.

Droid Razr is one of the more stylish phones, but is not as tough as Xperia Go. Maybe if you can give us your budget and what you need in the phone, we can search for more options?

what spec and budget ??

i dont really need it to be so sturdy XD i like the screen on the razr. i only initially thought of changing my phone after looking at the xperia go. budget is around 1k+. i think a nice screen is wat is most important for me now. unless there is a better sturdy phone like the xperia go outhere?

why don't get xperia p, s advance or csl mi501

seriously this question need to ask ?
got better spec phone why don't just wait for it

s2 ?

How about Zopo Zp300? HD screen, dual core, dual sim, and only RM950. Look for a user named "username is username". He sells them.

thanks! will check it out. i am worried about the battery in the moto razr xt910 as its more than a year since its launch. will the battery life be already nearing its end? since its non-removable. i've read that motorola's customer/after sales service is quite bad.

LG doesn't provide Nexus 4 international warranty. Which means if anything went wrong, you may need to pay for the courier fees to send the phone back for warranty. Time factor and also cost factor if you decided to get it repair here. Since you said you are out of budget, do you mind paying for the above expenses?

How you would utilize your phone determines alot whether Galaxy Nexus will be good enough. But then gnex after jb update can already be considered as lag free. If you are buying this phone with the intention of using it for a long period of time, let's say 2 years then gnex may not be future proof.(Future apps may not be supported)

However i do feel this is not the correct time for you to buy either a gnex or a lg N4. First option budget no worries but its already considered 'outdated'. 2nd option too pricey if opt for original local set (in few weeks time). If you are really determined to get a Nexus 4, can you tahan for a few months? Since like other mentioned Nexus phone price drop quicker.

Also, hardware problems involving poor QC are often seen in first batch devices. ie Nexus 7, iphone 5 recently. So here's another reason to hold your purchase.

p/s: He already mentioned he has limited budget. The phone with the best hadrware doesn't always neccessarily makes the best phone for the users.

Just my two cents.

+- 700 for xe and atrix 2. aiya.. xe and atrix 2 both really caught my attention leh.. currently i'm using nokia x5-01 use edge 24-7 for internet otg. been searching for replacement and found these two model really tangkap leleh one. i think my max budget is 700 again la. if what you said about the signal for xe, then it's going to be hard for me.. but the design ah, aiyaaa

How about Ninetology Black Pearl 2? RM580, awesome design, and dual sim and dual core.

I'd go for the Galaxy Nexus, purely for USB OTG. Overall the advantage the N4 has over the Galaxy Nexus is the 2GB RAM, which will help with multitasking.

The Galaxy Nexus does not feel lacking in processing power to me, at least in my normal day-to-day use case. Real Racing 2 and Asphalt 7 works without stutter, which frankly is good enough for me.

looks like you like xe more then others...i think no harm try also la.... don worry, if your telco hv strong signal at ur area it should not b a problem for u.

kay, start from the power on time on mi501
33secs.. [haha coz i delayed the things and it's ICS 4.0.4 seems good and better than Xperia units]
den i tested antutu and sunspider (sunspider: i think 10k around gua the final verdicts)
and tried the speed w my U mobiles.....is awesomes... w google chrome and opera browser and gives me fast responds...
tried somes mid range games: Zenonia 4, 5 Nova 2 and NFS: most wanted
speaker ok la

Pro: 1.2 S4 [haha and w that phone
nice PPI yes, 302
dual Sim...[oh.. used 1 only sorry ]

Cons:512 M ram... [if CSL improves the ram woes to 768Mb-1Gb den i can recommended my relatives to pick this phone]
Hard to switch GPU to 2D

My Verdicts : 8/10 [SILVER for CSL mi501 by personnel]
CHEERS!

If only CSL had added 1 GB RAM to the Mi501, it would be the perfect 5 inch budget Android. Stealth 2 got some lag.

+1 deed coz my Taylor's Coll's Fren used Ninetology Stealth 2 use till he dulan edi so he get Mi501
