Best piece of technology I've ever owned. It is quite expensive. and its quite large yes to some people that may be bad. But I think that that is awesome!!! Such a big screen to do anything I need to. Its a hand held computer. 1.6 GHZ Quad-core processor with 2 GB of ram. With Android 4.1 Jelly Bean it is easy to navigate and I never max out the ram playin music and a game at the same time with extra shit opened up. no lag!!

This phone is sweet, only problem I've had so far is the 16 GB of internal ram, not near enough for me. But you can easily install an external SD. I am going to get a 32 GB+ external. It also has a removable battery. but its a 3100 lithium so I'm not too worried about that :) And the camera…It takes phenomenal pictures, with a 8MP 1080p rear-facing camera and a 1.9mp front-facing 720p. There are many different features for picture-taking that I've never seen before. And on top of that the speaker sounds awesome. It's loud for a phone and very clear. Not to mention it has a S Pen with many features.
I just can't wait til there's 4G in my area.

Someone in my class has it :P Its indeed a very nice phone and even with quite heavy usage he has like 70% battery left when we are sitting in the train back home.

I'm waiting until 15 May until buying a new phone. By then the choice is:
Sony xperia z
Htc one
Samsung galaxy s4
Google nexus 5 aka Motorola x phone

The S4 sports a Snapdragon 600 here and not the exynos 5 octa core unfortunately..

Will be a though choice.
I'm leaning towards nexus 5 for the pure android experience.

haven't looked into the phones coming out, but the nexus 4 is an AWESOME phone, just doesn't support 4g. I bet the nexus 5 will be an even more astonishing phone

Coming from someone who had the nexus 4 and currently has the i5, I would go for the S4 :P

Well 4g is really limited here in The Netherlands and very expensive.. I don't use 3g that much because we got free Wifi in the train, at university, at home, at friends I can also use wifi, etc. I use like 600mb per month :P

Meh I like the specs but the HTC One has the same specs but looks MUCH better and the build quality is better aswell.


But the skin of HTC and Samsung slows the device down slightly. Also developing for Android on university so it would be nice to have a Nexus phone to have the latest version of Android at all times, stock.

EDIT: Just found a nice Dutch article on a site :)

Rumour about Nexus 5:
1920x1080 @ 5,2" screen
Snapdragon 800 @ 2,3 Ghz
3GB LPDDR3 RAM
16 megapixel camera
3300 mAh battery

However it also mentions an October 2013 release and not May :(

I personally love android. I have the Galaxy Note 1, really want to upgrade to the 2. I think ill wait untill a 3 comes out cause then I can get out of my contract lol. Still like a year and a half left. Ofcourse if a 3 comes out that is.
