How does Google's Nexus 4 smartphone, built by LG, measure up against gmail mobile the current darling of the Android world, the Samsung Galaxy S3. They're close in almost all aspects, except gmail mobile one very important gmail mobile one.
The new Nexus 4 is here, after a great many leaks, and it has been joined by the new Nexus 10 tablet and a subtly gmail mobile tweaked Nexus 7, which together make Google s latest — and particularly formidable — family of Android-powered devices . It s LG s first attempt at building a Nexus phone, and the spec matches its Optimus G flagship smartphone in almost every way, plus the Nexus 4 s price is incredibly gmail mobile competitive. Here s how it compares to what many consider to be the best Android phone available, the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Price $199/$299 (with contract) $299/$349 (SIM-free) OS Android gmail mobile 4.0.1 Touchwiz UX/US Android 4.2 Processor Exynos 4412 (Quad Core) Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro Display 4.8″ Super AMOLED 4.7″ WXGA IPS Resolution 1280×720 1280×768 Dimensions (WxDxH) 5.38″ x 2.78″ x 0.34″ 5.27″ x 2.70″ x 0.35″ Weight 133g 139g 4G LTE Yes No NFC Yes Yes Wi-Fi 2.4GHz, 5GHz (dual-band) WiFi 802.11 b/g/n (dual band) Rear-facing camera 8 Megapixels 8 Megapixels Front-facing camera 1.9 Megapixels 1.3 Megapixels Video capabilities 1080p Recording 1080p Recording Internal storage 16/32GB 8/16GB SD card slot Yes (up to 64GB) No Max. battery life 11 hours (3G talk/data use) 10 hours (3G talk/data use) What it means:
It means that the Galaxy S3 has a challenger, and a very well priced one at that. The screen size and resolution, the camera, the weight and even the size are all almost identical, plus there s little to choose between the processors either, with Samsung s 1.4GHz Exynos 4 Quad playing Qualcomm s 1.5GHz, quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro. The Galaxy S3 wins some points due to its microSD card slot and higher, 16GB or 32GB of built-in memory though. The lack of 4G LTE on the Nexus 4 will make it a no-go for some, but don’t forget, add 4G to the Galaxy S3 and you’ll get a dual-core processor instead. gmail mobile
But it s very difficult to argue against gmail mobile a device that costs $299 SIM-free for the 8GB model, or $349 for one with 16GB of memory. A Galaxy S3? That ll be at least $600, please. gmail mobile So, just to recap, gmail mobile that s a big screen, gmail mobile quad-core smartphone with the latest version of Android for half the price of the S3. Wow.

Cancel jakep_82 4 days Ago You have a mistake on this chart. The Nexus 4 doesn't come with LTE. I personally don't see a need for it when I can already stream HD video on HSPA+ and I'm capped at 5GB of data, but to each his own. Flag 1 Liked Like Unlike Reply
Yep, thanks for spotting that. I've added in a little something about 4G connectivity too, as the S3's spec changes with the addition of a 4G radio. Tests have shown HSPA+ can be faster than some 4G connections, and some even refer to HSPA+ as 4G. Glad to hear you're making good use of its speed. Flag Like Unlike Reply
jakep_82 gmail mobile 4 days Ago In reply to Andy Boxall I really don't understand the race for LTE when every carrier caps data usage at such low levels. I would rather have HSPA+ speeds with a high data cap than unnecessarily fast data with a low cap. Flag 3 Liked Like Unlike Reply
