Hello all and thank you for reading,
I was a first time Android user when I purchased my Google Nexus S back over a year ago. It is time to get a new phone and I am between getting the best phone specs wise (Samsung Galaxy S3) or sticking to what I know and love, the Nexus way, and getting a Galaxy Nexus.
I know the differences that both offer and I never really liked the Galaxy Nexus when it first came out. I thought the specs werent that good (screen and camera mainly) but now with Jelly bean and how smooth it runs I think I'm partial to the Nexus.
Ive also always loved how quick Nexus phones get updates and if you dont get it OTA you can always do it manually without being rooted.
I HATE manufacturer add-on skins even though they can be easily replaced, nothing looks or feels as good as Nexus. In addition, the S3 will not have Jelly bean until who knows when and I'm not really trying to root it unless necessary.
My question is this: Are the spec differences enough to make me wanna go to S3 or is the addition of Jelly bean RIGHT NOW enough to make the Galaxy Nexus the right choice (even with its inferior camera and screen)?
*I know this is basically up to me but I just want your advanced Android knowledge/opinions to learn what the community thinks*
BTW, I have not yet used either phone in person.
