The SGS3 and the HOX are the Jon Snow of the Android family.

Jack knows whats up

If you're honestly going to get an Android handset then go for the Galaxy Nexus. It is Google's own device which guarantees you every update released. There are plenty of Android devices out there like the SGS3 and the HTC One series but none of those are Google's child. Think of those other devices as the bastard children who don't get the time of day from its father. Sure you may get a phone call or card in the mail months after your bday but by then you're already 3 versions behind.

Either get the Nexus or wait for the next Nexus to be announced.

Google also bought Motorola

Google bought Moto's Consumer Mobile division so that they could stop them from manufacturing consumer mobiles which ruin the Android brand.

I really like the Galaxy Nexus too. Hopefully a new one is coming out soon.

What's Jellybean?

Jelly Bean is the friendly name for the latest version of Android, i.e. 4.1. Sort of like how Mac OS's are named after tigers, lions and leopards.

I don't think a new Nexus will be announced anytime soon. The last Google I/O conference was last month, and the didn't announce one there. Nexus devices are usually announced along with a new OS version.

What is better the Galaxy S3 or the Nexus?

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I terms of hardware, the S3 is better. It's got a quad core processor and big ass screen. But that doesn't mean the GNex is a bad device. It's a great phone considering the price. You'll also get software updates directly from Google than Samsung. Plus unaltered Android on the GNex is the sex!

Is that what its called for sure? Keylime Pie? I was thinking about that yesterday and was wondering what's a dessert that starts with a K....came up with Konafa, an amazing Egyptian dessert

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It's not been officially confirmed by Google, but I heard that that's the name. We still got time for its release though.

 

[Rami]

So let's lobby for Konafa then.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

I'm assuming they'll pick KLP cos it's an American dessert. But let's see. I RT'd your tweet about it.

If this is what you mean then it is not Egyptian. I would say originally it is Palestinian.
