After not being too impressed with my EVO 3D, or rather, hating sense and the other garbage HTC puts on there that runs the battery down,causes lag, and just ruins the experience.. coupled with the still lack of a good AOSP ROM for the 3D, I decided to pick up the Nexus S 4G.
I previously had a Nexus One, so I knew what I was missing once I had the 3D for a while, and I also knew what I was "gaining" IMO from going back to the S.
But so far I only have these "issues" with the phone and I'm wondering if there's anything I'm missing before I go to sell it:
- Resolution is a little lower vs the qHD 3D. I'll probably get used to it in a week, just like I got used to it going from N1->3D
- I notice the Pentile matrix but eh, it's not that big of a deal honestly. I love the blacks and colors over the LCD
- Storage space is locked to 16GB, but I checked what I actually used without wasted stuff and it was only about 14 and as of now I have about 2GB free
- No notification light. I thought I'd miss it but eh, there's more in life to worry about than hitting a power button once in a while
- Cheapish feel, but honestly it feels much better than I ever thought it would
There's a couple things missing from the 3D, such as dual-core and the 3D camera, but the regular camera is better and the processor on the NS seems better than even the dualie on the 3D.
I see people complain about signal strength, but the 3D was up and down and honestly I think the 3D signal blows and has been more unstable than the NS so far.
And then there's tons of positives.
Am I missing any negatives? The ones I've listed are all I really see AND none are dealbreakers. The only negative I can really see is somehow ICS chokes on the NS and screams on the 3D. But that's assuming it won't be ruined by HTC (it will) and even today I have major lag in apps that use the SD card (it's a class 10, so speed is not the issue).
