Ohs no's. Omfg lg Nexus. Cry cry brand bash bandwagoners. If one person says lg sucks on the Internet, it must be true right? My whole life is a lie.

In all seriousness, I'm glad it's not Samsung making this thing again. Either I have really bad luck with Samsung or other Samsung users are liers. Both my fascinate and this gnex have been plagued with issues. After my fassy, I swore I would never buy from Sammy again but Of course they made the nexus that i always wanted lol. As much as i wish Moto or htc would make one, lg isn't bad. Id rather it be lg over samsung as they fail to make their phones work as phones.(great for everything else though)

Relax and listen to Pantera!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] YoungAceAtlanta:
LG in the past has released phones that made me shake my head at them. But since the LG Optimus 4X HD and their current line up, i have no issues with LG making the next Nexus..

its their UI skin that i hate n think it sucks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
This may not even be the next Nexus and it may be just a vanilla LG android phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Yeah lol, that's what I'm thinking too. It's a possibility. G4x? If LG is just making a nice looking, powerful AOSP phone that'd be awesome too. Doesn't Google usually announce who is manufacturing the Nexus this time of the year anyway or even earlier? If they haven't announced it's maybe because there will be some sort of Nexus program where OEMs have to agree on certain specs and have a more uniform experience between OEM devices and AOSP. I'd love to see a new Nexus from all the OEMs, except Sony because IMO those phones look ugly as hell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
I am not hating on the phone at all. I am pointing out how he jumped to the other side of the spectrum with the omg its the best thing ever. With assumptions that are yet to be proven. Omg its a lg turd. Omg it is like so awesome, it has a better build quality. Stuff that is not even known.

Jumping to a conclusion about it being a turd cause of lg making it or jumping to a conclusion based on stuff we don't know yet is the same bag of nonsense.

LCD won't be "better" a year from now. It hardly is now, except with a microscope. The galaxy note 2 shows just that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Anyone who speaks in absolutes about technology is kidding themselves.

Especially someone who confuses PenTile with AMOLED, and then turns around and does the same with LCD and AMOLED.

I mean, who talks about LCD and tries to relates it to a SAMOLED device, and then says the difference takes a microscope? I'd delete my post if I were you and do some homework to clear up your confusion.

Mako failed to convince me as the Nexus Prime's contour design matters a lot to me , making it easy to hold . Unlike the S3 feels rather bulky and the same goes for all devices out here...:p

When it comes to hardware the Qualcomm S4 Krait quad will definitely outperform nexus prime and maybe with some open-hardware support if any , it can be highly overclock-able and may even beat Exynos Quad + 8MP camera update is pretty good and the 4.7" IPS LCD's disappointing over the HD SAMOLED .

Overall the LG :silly: Nexus / Nexus 4 / Optimus Nexus / Mako will probably be a good successor to our nexus prime . But i'm pretty satisfied with my Samsung Nexus Prime :cool: .

btw, myopia lets some see very small details that most others can't. This can be good if you work with small things but bad if you don't like seeing defects. Red text like the fastboot menu sticks out like a sore thumb to me.

Win a debate? You don't have the slightest clue what you are talking about.

You're not worthy and capable of having a debate because of it. Then when people called you out your pentile nonsense you call people names.

Instead of just admitting you where wrong and moving on you keep digging a deeper hole for yourself.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
Lmaao lg might not even be the nexus in the end (hopefully)

Anyways I really don't know what to expect in 4.2..... android is so perfect for me haha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Maybe it is , but the OC'd Exynos is more beefy talking about the clock speeds the CPU @ 1.8Ghz & 4 MALI 400 GPU's @ 700Mhz powering up the S III and we all know the OC'ing power of Qualcomm processors making it better competitor in the league unless qualcomm makes their Snapdragons complete Open-hardware types like that of Texas Instruments OMAP but this is what qualcomm did ;) !

and i'm a little more concerned on the DAC side , till now we didn't have any Qualcomm phones having Audio Mods like Voodoo for Galaxy S , S II , S III , Tab & Nexus S , Eepad Transformer from ASUS plus the high perf audio (OMAP codec fix..) for Nexus Prime also does the job well :fingers-crossed: and even the LG Optimus 2x also shares voodoo sound mod, let's see what'll google stuff into their 4th generation of Nexus...:p

But neither of these could break the performance barrier set by the Apple's A6 !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phewizzo:
S4 Pro has more raw power then the A6, the A6 benchmarks so well because iOS is very heavenly optimized to run it great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
Another leak

http://pocketnow.com/2012/10/15/exif-data-lg-nexus-4/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashtrix:
Take a look at this , i do remember apple saying its A5X 32nm used in iPad 3 is 2x times faster than that of tegra 3 ,well it's clear that from that benchmark snap A6 will definitely outperform these , anyways the A6's not the point of discussion here but i'd say the qualcomm must be more transparent enough to get their top end ARM SOC's like S4 Krait Pro to dominate the market which is already dominated by the Exynos cores and iPhones.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
The post you replied to repeated here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Those have made the rounds since Saturday.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I agree in a sense. But they were really touting chrome when they released jelly bean. So it kinda was a feature that was brought with an Os. Kinda not. I totally get what your saying though. Just figure if they want it to be the browser they want us to use it would be nice if they polished it and made it the best.

On another note, I like the lg hardware of this phone. And they definitely have been coming out with some impressive screens. I'm sure it would look nice. All this hardware I'm sure would make an impressive phone that could perform very well on vanilla android. I don't know if I'd buy it though.

Yes, I know. I'm just tired of all the fuss in the forums. I stil have a little hope for a 32 GB model but could get along with 16 GB, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ran495:
i have a theory, call me crazy but hear me out. what if google is creating a whole line of devices targeted at different segments? the GNEX 2 which is a small upgrade from GNEX, could be somewhere near the mid range, the LG phone could be the upper or lower range(depends on its internals) and the HTC's 5 incher could be closer to the phablet segment. what you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
The last link seems believable but still not fully convinced. It does look good though for now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Possible, I also read somewhere there have been new razor model sightings in benchmarks or something like that.

Maybe Verizon is going for its own nexus to go along with your theory.

I know they pulled the launch of the razor HD for the moment. So that kind of seems to line up too.

Some people may flame me but here is my explanation of why this LG-E960 is not a Nexus Phone: (I may be wrong)

I have been researching patterns of Nexus Phones and Non-Nexus Vanilla Experience phones.

Here is what I found as a reoccurring pattern:

ALL NEXUS DEVICES simply says GOOGLE on the back and the Manufacturer's logo. Look at the backs of the Nexus One, Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus.

Now the pattern of Non-Nexus Vanilla phones:

Look on the back of the T-Mobile G2 and the T-Mobile LG G2x and on the back you will see that it says "with GOOGLE" similar to what the LG-E960 says. This could just be Lg's version of a Vanilla Android device based on the LG Optimus just like the G2x was when Gingerbread came out.

I may be wrong but this is what i concluded...let me know your thoughts on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] InfDaMarvel:
I personally think it looks like a over glossed enlarged nexus. I Hope Samsung is designing a variant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
http://gpad-img.com/201210/optimus_nexus_2.jpg

this picture here is what led me to that conclusion lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -A-P-M-:
Also back of Galaxy Nexus (Nexus Prime) was different on prototype than on production version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DynamicRam:
may be there will be no more google nexus, it will be htc nexus, LG nexus . . . . with google android experience
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
No because that's not what the nexus program is about, Google updates the Nexus phones as soon as they release a new version of android. These Google experience devices like the G2 and the Tmobile G2x did not get updated, you had to wait forever for an update from HTC and LG
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smallsmx3:
If u read the article they guy said it was the same phone except it had the JB multicolored x on the back...maybe this photo is an earlier prototype and the final version will have the x....and the g2x shipped with semi vanilla froyo.....and got upgraded to a shotty version of GB....the stock froyo ROM was solid and stable and was a very fast ROM overall but if it weren't for the development of the g2x I would have thrown it away.....cm.7.2 was amazingly fast and stable and full of options on the g2x. I never had issues with the hardware of the phone and I thought the build quality was solid.....I would definitely upgrade to an lg nexus if all software and updates were straight from google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
But there is also information that this phone is Tri-band and that makes me think that this is a similar phone to the G2x. Just as the G2x was based on the Optimus 2x, this phone will be based on the Optimus G...who knows lol

People don't really think that there will ONLY be an 8GB model...right? If you look at how Google pushed out the Nexus 7 IF there is an 8GB there will most certainly be a 16GB version as well. Google is trying to build a brand here and marketing the Nexus 7 8GB for 200 allowed it to sell very well so if they want to get their devices into the hands of consumers why not follow the same model?

Exactly....a 16 GB will probably cost like $450....people were dishing out $700 for an unlocked galaxy nexus 16gb

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
i think a lot of that had to do with the phone looking pretty cool, one of the first 720p screens to market, a decent TI SOC, removable battery and samsung being fairly popular.

this time we're talking LG and whatever negative connotation comes with that brand, some will think the lcd is a downgrade (i can go either way if the lcd is pretty decent but like amoled a lot despite it being power hungry, strong rumors of limited storage, lack of knowledge on the sound chip (probably a wdc9310 and hard to find info if it is in fact that), phone doesn't look as cool as the gnex, non removable battery, no sd storage once again and despite the rumors i think the bottom shelf version is going to be $450 and the 16gb will be $500. i'd shell out $600 no problem for 32gb version. qualcomm has a pretty good chipset with s4 pro, it will have two gigs of ram and LG isn't going to do this at a loss even though it might boost their bottom line with other phones.

even though i am on the wrong side of the chinese traditional sarcastic dance if their is a 32gb version i will probably get one, unless there is just something totally gone wrong with the phone, i.e. bad sound or terrible reception or abysmal battery life. i carry a lot of books, apps and info. also CBR 320kbps mp3's and some flac's. 16gb, rather ~13gb out of the box and actually only about ~12gb usable because of overhead is unacceptable for me and many people.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Corioli:
I dunno why People hates LG..

LG has best display(better than Amoled, imho...Less battery draining, no more battery-saving wallpaper, No burn-in...etc)

But I hate iphone-like battery type..

And why people likes htc?...Their hardware-making sucks- like yellow tint display(it's hardware problem, yellowish spot...; leaking lights from niche of display and device body; button got out of order many times.. etc)

Software problem doesn't matter because google makes it..

This is just my opinion:)

HTC leads in design (One Series)

Samsung leads in software(Touchwiz+updates)

LG leads in hardware (Currently)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Just to let you in on as to why people like HTC on xda. Well xda was started from and is named after a HTC device. The HTC xda to be exact.

Remember when there used to be PDAs'? Well they didn't have a data connection. HTC put out the very first PDA with a data connection. The x represented data with voice and the xda was born. HTC started this all long before Apple!

My thoughts:

HTC

Build quality (uni-body metal designs are universally loved)

Motorola

Battery life (even their normal flagship RAZR HD packs a 2500mAh battery)

Durability (Kevlar + waterproof)

Samsung

Screen (AMOLED is their baby, but it's since been overtaken)

Processor (Only manufacturer that designs their own, but Qualcomm has caught up)

LG

Before this year, nothing much. Now they seem to dabble in everything with attention to screen technology and battery life.

Sony

Looks

Camera

Overall, it seems like LG is trying to take Samsung's spot. If LG didn't have such a stigma behind them, they probably would. In reality, it will probably take a few generations of their phones, starting with the Optimus G, for them to be taken seriously. Designing the Nexus 4 is a good start. LG is the up and comer for sure.
