Screen display- Nexus 4 Bigger is better
Software- Android 4.2>> Touchwiz My ROM 4.1.2
Note 2 is on android 4.1.2.
4.2 have new security features. Yall still getting malware threats weekly
Build Quality- Nexus 4
Camera-Tie
Radio- N4
Features- Note 2
Speed- Nexus 4
sound- Note 2
Hardware-Nexus 4
Battery-Note 2
Lag free-Nexus 4

The Note 2 wins display based off of screen size alone.
I run a ROM so I have most of the 4.2 apps/upgrades.
Radio?
Speed- Lets talk day to day real world use
Hardware-Nexus 4 is a quality device

But based off of day to day use battery life and size of display the Note 2 is the best phone for me. But the Nexus is 2nd then the S3 is third the DNA 4th

Amoled >>IPS now

Radio = wifi and signal strength. Samsung suck at both

Note 2 has a big battery and is a hybrid device slime

It can be 4D but if I can't hardly see it then it doesn't matter the quality of the screen when compared to a good 5.5in phablet.

I have no issue with Wi-Fi or signal. To me Note 2 is just better point blank for me.

That Note 2 is a win if Jesus had a phone this is how he'd contact his father.

 

[Czerka]

phones are about equal to me but i prefer stock. and the affordability of a nexus off contract puts it over the top IMO

Lol, negro, wi fi and signal strength work just fine on the note 2. Lol, this dude just talking out of his ass now.

if a screen is 4.5in with 1080P and SAMOLED vs a 5.5in Screen 1080P with IPS I'd rather look at the bigger screen.

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

Note 2>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Nexus. But lets be 100.

350>>>>>>>>>>>>>contract.

that was the decision.

I'll be carrier free by 2014

LG put better radio in their phones. Nexus 4 pulls down better speed and hold its connection longer

 

[NatiboyB]

LG put better radio in their phones.

But for the avg user does it matter?

Yes it does. Samsung is infamous for their weak radio. I just came from a galaxy nexus.

Install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDMsImNvbS5mYXJwcm9jLndpZmkuYW5hbHl6ZXIiXQ..

then Use it on your HTC 8x...see which one has the better wifi percentage. Mines is at -33

I'm not arguing that it isn't true I'm just saying big picture the downgrade isn't anything the average consumer would notice.

Note 2 not for me, I cant deal with that size but either way we all winning brehs.

This Droid life

 

[Romell]

Brehs is a transformer prime 300tf worth 125 bone? anybody got 1?

I have a tf300 it lags a little bit, but my girl just got me the keyboard dock for Christmas and it breathed new life into it. I'd consider the nexus tablets before getting it. But $125 is a steal. I paid $400 for mine
