Nexus 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S III







The Nexus 4 is here and it could truly pose a challenge for the Galaxy S III if you take away the 4G LTE that only the latter has. Both phones run on Android but one is still running Android 4.0 Ice Cream while the Nexus 4 is running the latest version Android 4.2 which is only available to newer Android devices. It is bothersome to see that Android does not simultaneously deliver updates to all of its phones just like Apple has done in the past. Now that I would say is perhaps what is holding the company back from being recognized. Consumers in 2012 hate to wait, practically in any particular space of time they do, but primarily now when technology is so advanced, why can’t they just simultaneously update their devices? Off-Topic I know but still interesting to tackle.

If you want a solid device that is fast and has the latest version of Android but don’t care about LTE, you might certainly want an LG Nexus 4.

If you want more storage space and 4G LTE (in select markets) then you might want to consider the Samsung Galaxy S3. What is great about Android devices is that there is a wide variety out there, which makes it easy to find something tailored directly to what you are looking for. Which do you prefer, the Galaxy S3 or the new LG Nexus 4?

If price is a factor, the LG Nexus 16GB might also be worth looking at since it is only $350 unlocked, versus $600 for an unlocked Galaxy S3. If you want a contract, there are sometimes some pretty good deals for the Galaxy S3 with a two-year commitment, though.
