Should I sell my Bionic and get a Galaxy Nexus

[ex0rcist]

Gnex looks dope.. but here is my bionic totally stock.. oc'd to gnex clockspeeds (1.2ghz)... blur all there..No debloat.. no sd tweaks..hello mr nexus. Bionic knocking at ur door. ps....im sure if i ran a sd booster i coulda put it above the gnex.. but i figured the masses would get the gist... look at that quadcore go

For good measure... lil lin action.

That overclock also kills cpu scaling. That makes it worthless for daily use.

Well the method is brand new bro give it time. Just a preview.. to be honest after i batt calibrated...it lasted pretty long for min and max 1-1.2...all i was trying to say.. here is a phone on gingerbread.. bloated all to hell... laying down quite a nice set of numbers..compared to a vanilla gpu accelerated ics

Really, it's up to what YOU want in a phone as the only person to please here is YOU. A lot of the replies here will be subjective and while that's OK, it's based on what THEY want in a phone. I look at Consumer Reports and things like that to help with the decision.

Heck, if I had a phone based on my needs rather than my wants, I'd still have my Moto E815.

I going to get rid of my Bionic for the Galaxy Nexus. I hope the trade in price at Best Buy stays the same until the phone comes out on Dec 8th which is $300 and I only have to pay half for the phone. :biggrin:

Those scores look good but once the devs get hold of the gnex and develop kernals(something the bionic will NEVER have) the gnex will annihilate the Bio/razr in power and battery life.

^ This is not correct as my Bionic is running a kernal different from stock right now....if you meant rom those exist too...not really sure what he is saying the Bionic will never have if he doesn't mean kernal....There isn't anything that suggests the Galaxy Nexus S has a better battery capability or power (how are you measuring power in this case?) than any newly released device...

Are u talking the nexus for vz? Don't think its called nexus s... either nexus or nexus prime... right?

NO! Geez.

If you're into cool, buy an iPhone.

Just in reference to the new Nexus out made by Samsung not to be confused with the previous Nexus by HTC....

I think you are a little confused. Since the Bionic has a locked and encrypted bootloader you are unable to flash custom kernels unless supplied by moto via an ota or leak. By power I mean computing power(benchmarks)and the gnex will have custom ulv kernels in no time combined with the 1850mah battery it will beat the current phones in battery life easily I presume.

The E815 was a beast of a phone ecept for the finicky charger port. The LG 7000 and 8000 were a perfect phone. Never had or seen issues with those phones since I was a VZW tech at the time.

Undervolted kernels don't always mean better battery. Each phone handles kernels differently. The GNex will probably have great developer support but I would wait to see how reliable its hardware is.

True. I am sure there will be many to choose from tho just like the D1 so there will be a kernel for everyone
