Budget 20-25K Samsung galaxy S3 OR LG Nexus 4 or any other? EDIT: Bought a Nexus 4

[enemra]

Friends,

As title says, which one should I buy? SIII or Nexus 4?

I can compromise with 16GB internal memory. The main difference between these that made me thinking is

1. SIII has around 12hrs talktime (3G) battery capacity and LG has 15 hrs.

2. SIII has AMOLED but LG has Tru HD IPS

3. SIII has Mali GPU but LG has Adreno

4. SIII has 1Gb RAM and LG has 2GB

Confused !!!!!!!![DOUBLEPOST=1374128951][/DOUBLEPOST]Also HTC One-X can be considered

Go with nexus.

Nexus if you will root it! Without rooting you will not enjoy the nexus, however if you root it then it is the best phone in this range
If you are not confident of rooting then go with the GSIII.
Also please fill out the sticky thread cause it will help us to understand what you're requirements are!

 

[enemra]

Ok, no problem with rooting.....

Requirements: Anything will do. No particular requirement. Want to get the best between HTC ONE X+, Galaxy SIII and LG Nexus 4

 

[forcabarca]

Nexus 4 without a doubt!

 

[shanx]

Ok, no problem with rooting.....

Then Nexus 4 FTW!!!!

 

[enemra]

You people are saying that if I root Nexus, then its the best. May I know in what way? Is it because of custom ROM or any other tweaks?[DOUBLEPOST=1374172201][/DOUBLEPOST]Also I have a good deal on unlocked imported nexus 4 with 6 months seller warranty. Shall I go for it?

Nexus 4 is available for as low as 23.5-23.9k online. Dont ask me where. It was there on Homeshop18, indiatimes, and Infibeam.

 

[appyx]

how about a Lenovo k900, was just checking it specs yesterday, seems awesome for 25K?
but out of the above if i had to make a choice, would surely go for nexus 4

 

[enemra]

Had a deal for Nexus @ 22600/- (Unlocked), but bought @ 24600/- as this had 1 year LG warranty and unopened box

 

[thawfu666]

Go for Nexus 4 ! I used both simultaneously and I didn't like SIII ... Nexus is far far better ...

 

[rkkaranrk]

Really don't know why someone said if u don't root nexus u will not like it.

I will say go for Nexus 4.

 

[enemra]

Thanks a lot for everyone. Bought Nexus 4

i personally don't like phone which don't have hardware soft keys . onscreen soft keys took precious display space .

Despite having hardware keys on my Droid DNA, i use onscreen soft keys

i talking about this key .

 

[prateekS]

Yes mate i have "these" keys on my Droid DNA , and i dont like to use them -_-

 

[Brendon]

^^ But why not ? I find hardware keys most useful and since your phone already has them why take up space on your screen ?

 

[prateekS]

I can choose the thickness of soft keys and i dont lose much on a 5 inch screen, i need a menu button which is missing in the droid dna hard keys

For those asking why someone wouldnt like N4 without rooting,here are the main reasons.
-Aggressive thermal throttling
-Bad display calibration
-Faulty touch driver which leads to bad screen sensitivity.
