So I'm up for a new phone and this one has my eye along with the Droid RAZR HD. I currently have the GNex, and I will pass it on to my gf. With that said my gnex has less than OK battery life even with the extended one and the reception on the device is meh ... So my plan with the SG3 is to get one of these extended larger batteries 3500+man... My only concern is the radios and over all performance in terms of reception.
The GNex was OK until I went into my work building, where my previous HTC and Moto devices worked no problem. The GNex was often inop sucking major battery looking for service and data was a no go.
OK with all that said this phone will cost me my unlimited data. And I do not wanna "upgrade" to a phone with similar issues.
So my question to you phone owners. Is the sG3 worth the upgrade, are the radios better ? And over all is it worth it to upgrade ?

 

Sorry forgot to mention. I'm on Verizon :-\

 

So it's safe to say that going with the SG3, it will out preform my GNex... At home I have no issues nor do I travelling really, 85-93dBm. It's just at work I get 120dBm "1 to 0 bars"

I don't want to give up my upgrade and unlimited data for a phone on par with the Gnex in terms of reception.

 

Well all my previous Moto devices never had an issue with reception nor did my Blackberry from a long time ago... My Incredible suffered a little bit, but I must say my DX was probably the best phone i've ever owned. The GNex was my first Samsung, so I was quite a bit disappointed with the reception only. The phone is phenomenal aside from that. I think I'll get the SG3 an keep my fingers crossed it out preforms my GNex.
