Samsung Galaxy Nexus vs Apple iPhone 4S

"much more thought has gone into the design and execution of the iPhone 4S"

Dude, we're talking about the 4S not 4, the "thought" given for the 4S is close to 0.

And is it worth it for your phone to shatter when you accidentally drop it for a "premium feel"? and I know what you Apple fanboys will say "You can afford the phone, why can't you afford a case?" Seriously? you're paying a few hundred dollars for a phone and you have to depend on a $10 case to keep it safe? That's pathetic...

I say the best quality build would be from HTC where both metal and plastic is used.

It's like an another academic discussion.
I would like to have them both and use them daily.
Then I would get a real life comparison.

The results of this comparison are very true. But honestly, it is needless. Iphone is a way better phone in almost every aspect. And the sales numbers show it clearly. Better display, better battery, definetely better camera and definetely better OS, superior design and superior support.

I read the design section and immediately knew that this was written by ray s.
No plastic? really? what's under that glass and aluminum?

Yet another unnecessary comparison which concludes concludes that everything is about personal preference, saying nothing new, but being here only because it attracts more public due to Apple/Google hate wars. Great job PA, most of your so-called "articles" are all about provocation.

This shouldn't have been posted. It's obvious that the Galaxy Nexus makes the iPhone 4S look like bull sh*t, so this comparrison was a waste of there time.

Android finally catching up iOS????? WHAT! Android is better than iOS since Froyo. iOS is a rudimentary piece of software, I'd say you can't even compare them.

patientcy is a virtue, since ICS looks awesome, way better than IOS, but construction wise for the Nexus, no... i'd rather wait till HTC or Motorola makes their own ICS smartphone, we all know quality built for those two are better than sammy ever since the original i900 galaxy S until the current SII...

iPhonearena, you really have very incompetent guys for writing articles...Engadget offers more justified reviews...
I guess the guy who wrote this is a true iPhone worshipper...bcoz here and there, "iPhone is still slightly better than.....". God u need some help.

Look at the photos in any of the reviews that Ray posts. He has little hands. His reviews of anything over 3.8" are fixated on how "huge" they are. It sounds like a case of Hand Envy.

I am sorry but this nexus VS iphone 4s explanation that was given is just to appointed directly towards the Iphone 4s.

Personaly, I switched from Galaxy S II due to me breaking my phone, so I decided to use a Iphone 4s.

as a phone sure it is smooth, very nice. key things that make An android phone better

1. On android I know for a fact that when I go to turn on my bluetooth by dropping down the drop down bar I will not get into a car accident on the highway because its drop and click, meanwhile on the Iphone it's find settings, open general, click to turn on bluetooth rather pain in the ass, when your in a rush and forget to turn ur BT on.

2. IDK about the camera on the new Nexus but the video was recorded on a Galaxy S II vs Iphone 4s and Ill tell you on the Galaxy S II photos are so much better. Personaly I do not like Iphone pictures during the night, they come out bad. During the day both phones rock at it and only have a small difference.

3. I am sorry Android has much more diversity in useful Apps. Apps on an Iphone are good, but the good ones the Android has. Example, I purchased several Sudoku Apps on my Iphone which are just so bad, maybe it just personal preference i options but, I downloaded a Sudoku app on Android one it was Free, and two I never had to buy another one because I did not like it. I don't mind buying apps I have spend hundred of dollars on both platforms, but at the same time, on Iphone there is no refund, so if I download an app that fails to promise what they offer, there goes my money. With Android I have 15 minutes to test out the apps before a final decision.

4. Internet on the Iphone just sucks. I have never seen the internet so slow.. (Apparently AT&T customers are not effected by this) When I compared speed test with my phone I got top speed of 0.09 as my top speed and I was lucky to find suc a fast area where my friends AT&T Iphone 4s has 3-5mbps on average depending on an area. Having a Galaxy S II, Photon 4g by Motorola, and the HTC EVO I rarely turned on my 4g because the internet has never failed me. With speed tests I would receive anywhere from 4-6 mpbs average.

5. Reception, I am sorry being a Sprint customer for over 10 yrs I can't complain, sure I had service issues, but I have never had this many drop calls as I do on the Iphone, I had the Iphone 4s for almost 2 months now and I have seen more dropped calls than I have had with all my Android devices combined, and more than any other phone I have ever owned.

But as far as I noticed the person who wrote this little comparison, from the start was centered towards the Iphone. I am a proud MacBook user and and Ipod touch owner, But when it comes to Phone I will stick to Android, as Soon as a newer galaxy or nexus phone comes out for Sprint I will change it.

So I've got a question. First off, everyone says that the iPhone's camera is tops. It is therefore moot to ask which is best. How about a comparison with another top Verizon android, the Moto Razr? Which one of those is better? I'm still rocking the Droid 1, so are these new ones leaps and bounds better in quality or just marginally better?

Google Nexus is better that an iphone 4 because you can do so much more on Android then on iphone. In iphone you need to put your credit card and you have to sync you iphone with your computer, where in Android you don't have to sync it with your computer, you don't need to put a credit card number in, and don't have to make a apple account like in iphone. Where I'm standing Google Nexus is a winner, iphone is a loser. Even the screens, Android: gets live wallpapers, and iphone get plain, (ewww) wallpapers!! You can do a lot more things on Android than on iphone.
I'm using a Motorola Droid 1 with the slide out keyboard and i do everything faster, and everything better, than my friend who uses a brand new apple iphone!!!!!
And iphone 4s is the same thing as iphone 4 but only has a face time camera in front!!!!!!
