subject: Which Do You Prefer, Samsung Galaxy S3 Or Google Nexus 4? [print this page] The fourth-gen Googles smartphone, named easily Nexus 4, is a device brought out jointly by LG and Google. Undoubtedly, it will become another very competitive android-running phone in the market. We cannot help wondering whether Nexus 4 is able to compete with Samsung Galaxy S3, the widely-agreed best android smartphone.
Galaxy S3 has been hotly welcomed by the android fans ever since its launch. The Galaxy S3 cases are so popular, which is also another proof of the popularity of this phone. Nexus 4, the first Nexus phone that LG has ever made, shares many similarities with its own Optimus G in hard ware. The magnificent specs and competitive price might help Nexus 4 to cool down the craze for the Galaxy S3.
In processor, Galaxy S3 sports a 1.4GHz quad-core Exynos 4 Quad chipset while Nexus 4 has on board a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro, no major discrepancy in the performance and working speed. However, Galaxy S3 obviously takes the upper hand in storage since Galaxy s3 is in support with the micro card expansion up to 64GB while Nexus 4 does not sport any extra storage expansion. The lack of 4G LTE network is also the major drawback of this phone.
In other respects, Nexus 4 does not fall much short of Galaxy S3 and is equally nice in screen size, resolution, camera and weight. Of course, to make up the slight discrepancy with Galaxy S3, Nexus 4 appears much nicer in its pricing. The 8GB and 16GB version of Nexus 4 without contract are priced respectively at $299 and $349. In contract, the unlocked Galaxy S3 will cost at least 600 dollars, about twice the price of the Nexus 4.
So if you are now searching for a proper new smartphone with reasonable price, Nexus 4 might be a good choice if you are not determined to choose nothing but the iPhone 5. After all, it seems that the common enemy of those various smartphones is iPhone 5. The iPhone 5 cases are undoubtedly the most popular cases in the market. You have to make a decision as to whether iOS or Android is what you like.
