Agreed. The curved display and clean front are really sleek. With a higher quality rear panel or some sort of redesign from the sides/back of the GNex, it could be gorgeous.
[Android General] Hreidmar:
Interesting news everybody looks like somebody already tested the new Nexus.

More details in the link: http://androidandme.com/2012/10/smartphones-2/first-hands-on-report-of-the-lg-optimus-g-nexus/
[Android General] haloimplant:
Well you might be in luck because the link above says the phone appearance is similar to the GNex.

I am personally have never been a fan of how the GNex looks, it's too rounded out and looks bulky. The Optimus G is the opposite, very square. Something in between sounds intriguing.

Doesn't matter anyways unless this thing (whatever it is) completely explodes in the reviews i am buying it...
[Android General] funkyblue04:
I just want a decent camera AND 32gb. And HOPEFULLY it is not wider than the Nexus. Sick of Android phones getting wider and wider. If I want a tablet I'll buy one!
[Android General] hikarugo:
I think it's Google who designs the nexus instead of LG because LG will never make rounded phones themselves. Maybe, if there will be various nexus phones this year, they will have the same design despite the fact that they are manufactured by different naufacturers.
[Android General] Jimlarck:

PLEASE can we have some sort of common sense?
[Android General] Saintfyre:
If the new Nexus phone is in fact going to be LG, I'm just going to wait.

The specs are amazing and great and all that but for some reason LG has such a negative connotation to me. Maybe my mind feels that they're just cheap products? I don't know.

I'm hoping the Nexus program is going to open up too all manufacturers that produce phones directly in line with Googles instructions. Was really hoping for a revisit of the Galaxy Nexus with those kinda specs but we'll see.
[Android General] chug:
Watch 4.2 come out before the Galaxy S 3 even gets Jelly Bean in the US/Canada

[Android General] funkyblue04:

[Android General] Mighty Arceus493:
I don't like the idea of LG making a Nexus, but since we don't have news on any other Nexus phones, I might grow on it. But if there are going to be more Nexus devices, I'm definitely staying with Samsung since I can trust them and their quality. :thumbup:

I'm guessing that the Optimus Nexus will have most of its info covered by the end of next week, then we'll get conformation of the second Nexus device, and so on. Well, at least that's what I'm hoping.
[Android General] leventccc:
I wasn't a lg fan but lg optimus g changed my mind. Its just awesome and if the next nexus is gonna be based on optimus g, its %100 my next phone.

That's a great update! Project roadrunner will be a great help for battery life and that customization center is probably solving the fragmentation issue! Great move. Those last releases of android OS are the proof that google is mature to a point that it doesn't need to fight with apple and can focus on their own system!
[Android General] mike.b93:
That's right. Now that android doesn't need to play catch up anymore, development can focus on all the other things

[Android General] benjamingdelacruz:
Lolwut.

And if there really are going to be multiple nexus devices, are you really going to buy the first one?

Also, how the hell are you guys going to survive without amoled if lg really does make the next one? I could never go back to LCD.
[Android General] Hreidmar:
Yea you can have your Super Amoled as TRUE HD IPS screen has been proven many times alot better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF-Z3_f3WCE -at 00:37 example the difference is dead obvious. :)
[Android General] benjamingdelacruz:
You're joking right? I've seen that video before, and the difference is due to the pentile matrix which will soon (and is already) being replaced. Anybody with half a brain knows that amoled is the future (and present).

Even with the pentile I'd still take the amoled over IPS, at normal viewing distance it looks significantly better than the IPS, which is something you can even see in the video. I don't know about you, but I don't hold my phone a mere centimeter from my eyes.
[Android General] daruu92:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000 and it's amoled screen is better than most of new phones actually.

I want a Galaxy Nexus, and if Google doesn't amuses me with something really good besides LG, I don't think LG could make a better phone than GNEX, sorry.
[Android General] bendirkss:
I won't get it if it's LG
[Android General] leventccc:
Why are you guys thinking LG is gonna make a bad phone. I know LG's old phones are not good but I think lg is getting better with LG Optimus 4X HD and LG Optimus G is just perfect. I can even buy optimus g with lg rom on it. (I never used a lg phone before and I was thinking like you until I see optimus g)
[Android General] gdourado:
Whatever LG makes it will be made by Google specs and under close control by Google.

It will not be an LG phone, but a Google phone made by LG... Different thing...
[Android General] mike.b93:
As long as the samoled screens are so poorly calibrated and "buggy", I would choose IPS over amoled anytime. But amoled is the future for sure. Samsung is getting better screens done.
[Android General] varanhia:
I believe, on the contrary I hope that he is Motorola to do the near Nexus
[Android General] Jimlarck:
This tip came from a regular source who has provided accurate information in the past. They are the same source that shared all the info about the LG Nexus, which continues to gain momentum from other outlets. As with most people that hand over sensitive information, they wish to remain anonymous.

...

Then its not something I'd believe. The LG Nexus is a no no. Its not possible. Because LG said themselves that the LG Optimus G will ship with ICS.
[Android General] Jimlarck:
Here is LG's Hands on.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBMjoZkAg78&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Now unless that's Vanilla Jellybean it won't be the next nexus. Stop this nonsense.
[Android General] benjamingdelacruz:
Christ, they said BASED ON THE OPTIMUS G, not that it is the Optimus G itself.
[Android General] mike.b93:

People, the rumor says that Nexus device will be BASED ON LG Optimus G.

And if you read my article on the last page you would see that anonymous source also says that it will be in a shape similiar to Galaxy Nexus (round corners).

So please before you write any more comments and making yourself look ignorant fool please catch up with the latest news.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
It'll take a lot longer for SAMOLED to catch up to IPS in all areas but black levels, than it will for IPS to catch up to SAMOLED in black levels.

As it stands, the black levels aren't even that great in difference anymore.
[Android General] funkyblue04:
I find AMOLED MUCH better for reading. I have a Tab 7.7 and nothing has come close in terms of screen quality and black levels. That being said I'll still probably get the next Nexus. Just want 32gb. What was the only 32gb version released in the states? When will Google learn there is a WHOLE WORLD outside the US?
[Android General] Jimlarck:
Why LG?! Google chooses the one doing the best throughout the year. Others have done better than LG.

Here is everyone's logic "End of the year phone?! MUST BE NEW NEXUS!"
[Android General] Allanitomwesh:
For all we know ZTE could make it. Wait for a launch event. Rumors help for naught.

Loool. Still has 1gb ram. Classic.

Lol. Google is all about promoting the underdog, and Microsoft let ZTE make windows phones so they should be okay. Plus the Nexus will be affordable.
[Android General] Hreidmar:
Aw damn and i was so freaking happy to hear about customization centre it would kill Android Fragmentation and also project roadrunner would also help to alot of people.

Looks like its almost official.

The phone has a codename after a fish (Google does that to Nexus phones) it has a branding on the back side its round shaped like a Nexus and it has 4.1.2.

It looks nice but the back texture is just plain ugly and hope they change that. :S
[Android General] JavaJunkay:
Yes the tech specs are nice, but GOOGLE, NO!!!

1. The phone looks horrible compared to Galaxy Nexus, it is the most beautiful phone (personally) and this just ruined it's design. Especially those crystals on the back - what is this, a Giorgio Armani, special edition fashion phone?

2. I used LG 4X HD for a month (long story), and yes the LCD is responsive, nice and sharp, but IT IS LG's LCD! Samsung's Super Clear LCD (which I use on my Nexus S) and Sony's LCD at least look black when locked, and Sony's IMO has the best LCD screen for smartphones there, LG's is not nice.

And finally, I never trusted LG, and I just hope something nice comes up from Samsung's I9260 leaks, otherwise I don't know what else I'm going to buy, I'm totally skipping LG Nexus. And I just hope for that theory of 5 Nexus devices. Why not just make Xperia Nexus or another Galaxy Nexus and own the entire market?
[Android General] funkyblue04:
Space. I just want space. 32gb.
[Android General] Mighty Arceus493:
I actually don't mind the design. It's shape would almost be like the Galaxy Nexus if it was curved. If there won't be a few Nexus devices, I'll stick with this, otherwise, I'd go for Samsung again.
[Android General] Fluba:
I guess this is related more to the next software that may come out, but I thought I would pass on some information I put on the sub-reddit r/Android.

I saw a visit from Android 4.1.2 on October 3rd. It was on a client's website (can't say the client name). The visit came from Hyderabad, India. Using 720 x 1280 resolution device, Android Browser (534.30).

Maybe this is worthless information, but I thought I would pass it on. Although I would like to see a larger step in software than just 0.0.1, this may be evidence toward 4.1.2. Any update is a good update.
[Android General] nikens:
I heard of a Samsung google new tab 10'1. And my brother told me he heard of a new version of Nexus 7 with only dual core for less than $100. Anyone heard of it too?

And about nexus phones (sorry the offtopic), the rumors said something about HTC Nexus One (screen 4'7, 1280x720, S4 and 349$). That's the one I want xD
[Android General] ofteno:
that rumored LG nexus looks nice
[Android General] iJimaniac:
It really depends I guess. I think the galaxy nexus looks much better with it's curved shape and carbon fiber back. The lg one looks pretty ugly to me, with the jewel-studded back and flat shape.

[Android General] Fluba:
Hopefully the phone isn't really "be-dazzled" like in the screen shots. It'd be unique, but not in a good way.
[Android General] MikeyMike01:
The back isn't bejeweled. It's got some sort of tiled design.

It looks you can't remove the battery, which is very interesting.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Android General] Logi_Ca1:
Apparently it's using the same battery as the Optimus G, which features longer endurance in terms of discharges. Hopefully that means that we could go 2 years without losing too much charge.

In any case, apparently when a battery is non-removable it doesn't really mean that. It just means that changing the battery will require screwdrivers, instead of like my Galaxy S2 where you just pop off the back and swap out the battery. I could live with that.
[Android General] Hreidmar:
Agreed that texture on the back is just plain ugly so i really hope this is just for testing purposes and the final thing will look alot better.
[Android General] Shedao:
Does anybody know what we can expect regarding the LG Nexus and custom roms? I mean bootloader, kernel source code and so on. Are those things in the hands of Google or do we have to trust in LG that they turn away from their present course?

(sry for my bad english)
[Android General] leventccc:
Nexus means LG is just making the hardware. Software(kernel source,bootloader,rom) is controlled by google.
[Android General] qsacage:
So it looks just like a Galaxy S2 but with a big LG sticker on top of it.

This doesn't feel like end 2012, guys...
[Android General] JayH5:
This does not look like an S2! I think the earlier photos were just prototypes based off the Optimus G.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...xus-caseless-photos-nenamark-results-surface/
[Android General] iJimaniac:
Actually, I think the gs2 looked WAY better than this! This thing just looks way to ugly.

PLEASE LET THERE BE A GNEX 2! If not, I would just buy the original GNEX over this, even if it is 1 year old hardware. How my phone looks isn't that important to me, but this thing just screams UGLY!

[Android General] radiohead14:
man.. moto needs to take that mockup and make it a reality. i love the simplistic beauty of it. did you make that?
[Android General] Zurginator:
Why yes I did sir. It's based on the Droid X design language, updated and simplified, and then combined with my own design style.

I can go in a lot of detail as for my reasoning, but I doubt XDA really cares that much about the design side. ;)
[Android General] funkyblue04:
How wide is it? Looks really really wide. There has to said something about the new iPhone. Apple do understand operating a device comfortably in one hand.
[Android General] Jimlarck:

[Android General] khoikn:
I really wish that Google would have the manufacturers of Nexus devices include expandable storage (Ahem... Nexus 7..... Ahem)

Other than that, I'm assuming that this Nexus would support LTE?
[Android General] Jimlarck:
I'm guessing so. Didn't the CDMA Gnexus have LTE?

I'm not sure about GSM though, thought they used HSDPA+ (Hopefully spelled it correctly)
[Android General] Zurginator:
65x125x8, so just a tad smaller than the GNex. I did try to keep things realistic while designing it (I actually spaced out the battery, Cameras, PCB, etc inside).
[Android General] funkyblue04:
OK Cool. Looks GREAT. Just looks really wide. Maybe because there is less bezel. Good job :)
[Android General] Zurginator:
It's actually got the same amount of bezel (roughly) as current phones, at least on the sides.

Here is a dimension shot for anyone who cares. :P
[Android General] Taskman:
A phone that is named Nexus, meaning no SD card slot, should be available with 16GB storage space minimum but also with 32GB and 64GB directly at launch.

I was intrigued by the LG one but if they are not releasing with a Nexus with 32GB I will skip this one and stay with my Note.

I think I'll just hold onto my Gnex for another year... This didn't have anything that makes me want to buy it compulsively: Nexus one did, Galaxy Nexus did... Nexus S didn't, this right now, doesn't have appeal yet either.

8GB doesn't make sense to me, I'm already relying on cloud services and 16gb is just enough. I don't want to have to keep moving files on and off my phone.
[Android General] masanosuke:
I think I would buy the new nexus only if it is from Sony....if it is not I'll wait next year..
[Android General] funkyblue04:
That is the frustrating thing about 16gb. With all the Exynos issues we cannot even buy a decent Samsung device with decent storage and get a perfect port of CM on it.

Maybe this LG phone is still one of multiple Nexus devices?
[Android General] senatormimi:
They dont put expandable memory because it complicates things , when it really doesnt. Same reason why apple doesnt have expanable memory on there iphone.
[Android General] igorb81:
That's why I will never buy Nexus phone due to the lack of SD card. I had Nexus S for a few weeks back in the day until I replaced it with Galaxy S II and never looked back.

I'm perfectly happy with my Galaxy S II Jelly Bean beast. I'm leaning towards the Galaxy Note II now.

I used LG and HTC in the past as well.
[Android General] chrisomnia1:
Why the obsession with sd? The 32gb gnex is perfect for me. So you guys remove and add things? or what?
[Android General] igorb81:
32gb doesn't cut it for everyone. I need at least 64gb. It's always nice to have SD. I got used to it. I can transfer files a lot quicker when I insert sd card into my laptop than having a phone plugged in via USB. It's just a preference IMHO.
[Android General] Jimlarck:
Its a phone not a PC. Which is how I think. So the only biggest files in my Galaxy nexus are ROM downloads. And every end of the month I clean it up. Plus you have cloud storage.

I mean stop using your phone for downloading HD Porn! (My friend is like "My 32gb SD card is running out of space" and I go through his SD card. All I see are videos with XXX in it)

You see some of us use our phones as an mp3 player as well for our cars etc. The more space the better. Then I take pics/video of my son growing up. I don't download anything to my phone.

[Android General] Phil.jansen:
Maybe you should get an iPod and a video camera and stop complaining. Its a telephone, not a storage device.
[Android General] Habarug:
It is a smartphone. If you're not going to use the features, but use lots of other devices for each function instead, you could buy a cheap Nokia
[Android General] Jaytronics:
Actually, it is a storage device, MP3 player as well as a telephone. You see society and big corporations in particular, have made it so that our expectations for our phones have risen by leaps and bounds in the past ten years. I for one use my SGS3 as my 2ork phone, camera, music streaming device, scanner, document and file/ progran holding device. I have the 32Gig version and it is full to the brim. And now so is my external SD card. I refuse to use the cloud to store any pictures of my family and some of my documents are to sensitive to be in there as well. I could very easily use 500Gigs of storage on these devices. I wish these companies would at least attempt to put more than one card slot on these things.

Any way, you don't need to call out some one that complains about their "phone". You see, you can try to tell others not to do something. But that seldom works. Explaining your point of view would be much better use of all our time. Seeing posts like what you stated is a bit more infuriating than seeing some one supposedly complain. Another thing, if some one was to complain about their device that they purchased. Do you think that the company that created/ designed it is in any way feeling but hurt over somes discontent with it? No, most likely not. Instead they just go on and the world continues to turn on its axis.

Oh yeah one other thing, based on your comment above. Maybe people with iPhones should get an iPod. Because aftr all, it is a phone not a storage device. Lol!

I just flashed the latest ROM five minuets ago and am finally getting thirty hours of battery time! This is sick!!
[Android General] Jimlarck:
I have more than 4k songs and still have 15GB.
[Android General] Jaytronics:
Remember one thing. Not all MP3's are created equally. I particularly listen to my MP3's at 384kbps bit rate. So my MP3 is three times the size as the general person that listens to them at 128kbps. I don't download them because most sites offer them at only 128kbps. So, I purchase the CD and rip them my self, upload to Google music. Now even though I ripped them at a hiher bit rate. I am aware that Google will dumb down the bitrate based on my connection speed. That is fine with me, I drive for a living. So, I will get to listen at higher bit rates through out most of the day.

Any way, you can imagine what 4k songs will amjount to at three times the average bit rate.
[Android General] Jimlarck:
Well.. honestly with all that expertise of music you'd be better to have an MP3 player. Because as someone else here stated, its a phone and not an MP3 device. So it'd be cheaper if you used your phone for occasional music streaming, and use your MP3 for listening music.
[Android General] iJimaniac:
Hmm, the updated pictures found here make me take back what I said about it being bejeweled. It is actually a pretty good looking phone, but there are two things I still hate: ugly camera and no curvature like the Gnex.
[Android General] Habarug:
Yeah, I agree, it actually seems quite nice :)
[Android General] darkamikaze:
It's nice but I don't know if I'm taken aback by the fact theres no LTE, and there will probably be a more expensive 16GB vs 8GB. The opinions on LG is shakey as well X_x..
