It'd be worth an upgrade if the battery is improved. Also I think its already worth the upgrade for a better screen. Couldn't care less about the quad core just want better battery and screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Ive extened batterys in both my phones so that dont bother me..the only thing im not liking is the unremovable back of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
The phone will be worth buying. However, to answer your question it kind of depends on how much you value the other two devices. The nexus series has never disappointed me thus far and I don't see it happening with the N4

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gavin-phelan:
Might sell me two phones so :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Don't see what?

It disappointing?

or it not disappointing?

The Nexus series has been lackluster and hardware problem prone in the past, I agree.

No offense man but you have turned into a troll. What I stated was clearly my opinion and it was wrote in clear english. If you want to state your opinion as well, by all means do so. However, if you do there is no need to question my opinion, and yes that's all it is. Just an opinion!

I believe there is nothing lackluster about this new Nexus. Hell, I found almost nothing lackluster with our current Nexus.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
I think an 8GB version is a GREAT idea. I'm a Verizon customer and probably always will be due to despising AT&T. But if I can snag an 8GB version of this thing off of the Play Store for $350, unlocked, it's totally worth it to have something to play with that is prepaid and would serve as a backup phone for all of my travels.

If the price is right, I'll snap one up in a heartbeat.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It was an honest question on your stance and there was no ill will intended. You know, for conversation? I guess I misread your post, because I wasn't clear where you stood. Time to call me a troll then, I guess!

Did I catch you at the wrong time of the month or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I was't saying there was with the latest. I was clarifying his stance.

To clarify mine, the last two Nexus devices have been meh on hardware and have had their share of issues with screens, and reception. Hopefully the latest will turn that around. That was what I meant about lackluster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
I apologize if I perceived that differently than you intended. It was laid out in a way that it looked like you were directly question me.

Lol ass! :p

That wasn't my intention at all.

:highfive:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KWKSLVR:
To be fair, a Nexus Device is Google's benchmark hardware for running X Version of Android the way it's intended, not to show off hardware. It's not a device that is intended to show off hardware.

Either way, I personally love my GNex and I'll definitely consider paring it with LG's Nexus provided Google rolls the thing out for $350 or less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Thats no excuse to have screen or antenna issues. Traditionally, there has been a lack of QA on Nexus devices. I love the devices, but I am not blind to seeing the issues with the hardware.

Nexus One: reception issues.

Nexus S? I've not paid attention to that one.

Galaxy Nexus: Screen and reception issues.

Nexus 7: Screen separating from body plus other screen issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kibmcz:
Nexus S: Crippling search bug (if signal not just right capactive buttons go nuts) & a Growingly more common nand flash failure

Partly why i went Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
Koush says he got to get some hands on with nexus 4 that had capacitive buttons on his Google +.

Now that is interesting that they where at least building text devices with them. And maybe just maybe release a version with on screen and one without. Interesting though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah...for some reason that seems incredibly unlikely that they are testing with capacitive buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Um what phone/tablet even laptop comes to the market 100% perfect with no issues?

Your post is useless because no device is without bugs. Not even the fabled iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
A phone coming to the market with teception issues tho ? That is sort of pointless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Your post is useless, because they never resolve the issues from one release to the next.

Don't you think reception on a phone is kind of a big deal when hardware related? Or the screen? Are you going to sit here and tell all the folks who have bad screens on the GNex that they should just...suck it up because nothing is perfect?

If cars have a safety issue, its ok for future cars to have safety issues because of precedence and nothing is perfect?

Derp.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
We all know that this Nexus will have its fair share of issues, just like the rest of them...but they won't be deal breakers! Not by a long shot!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would just like to see a Nexus without reception and screen issues for once.

The rest I can deal with.

You shouldn't have to play Russian roulette and pull the trigger 2-3 times before you get a good device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Wow. It's like you're giving corporations the OK to set low standards aaand pulling the shut up take money card. That is like going shopping for a BMW and coming home with a Yugo and a big grin on your face.

Not everybody's definition of happy ending is the same as yours or mine.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Not at all...I'm being realistic...its not like I'm hoping there's gonna be issues but there will be something and we all know it! But its not gonna stop me from trying it out! Otherwise I'd never buy a phone

Sent from my Nexus Prime
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
On this we are in agreement. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Software issues aside, quite possibly. But for once, actually more than once, I would like a phone that has no hardware and better yet little to no software issues. The microphone issue was an issue again with the gnex. But not me. I have the no earpiece issue randomly. Not a big deal most of the time but I am sure many Verizon users would rather have my issue than their reception issues and Verizon has a better network.

...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I totally forgot about the microphone issues. That one ranks up there as unforgiveable, right along with reception.

Here you go. LG Nexus confirmed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Lol.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
I am beginning to think Verizon may be getting this phone after all. And here is why.

1. Someone posted a a link to a typo on Verizon's website showing a 16gb galaxy nexus. We know that just would t happen but according to the rumors there is a 16gb N4

2. Verizon just put their latest LG model on sale. Maybe they are preparing for something.

Maybe this is just wishful thinking but then again maybe it is not.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Re: #1, that might have been a typo because I talked to a store manager friend and there was no announcement, however Verizon HAS been putting smaller cards in their Razrs. I think maybe someone just got confused.

Also its not on the roadmap according to my friend, although I hope your suspicions are correct.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
Verizon dosent like similar phones I.e galaxy nexus and nexus 2, new lg phone and lg nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Uhh....droid RAZR, RAZR maxx

The new LG phone going through Verizon is going to be branded Spectrum 2 according to a few sites.

Still highly doubting a Version version of the new Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thephantom:
This made me think. Somehow I would go with the explanation. I just remembered the i9000 which also had "with Google" rather than just plain Google. It's still anyone's ball game though. It's nice to see all these leaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eng.stk:
Too simple straight classic design, very boring, no Nexus "feeling". Looks like a entry level Huawei phone. Glossy & sparkling finishing? Not fashion anymore... hope the slim bezel is made of metal, if not is just a plastic device, not ver premium on that, will become a magnet for prints and small scratches through all the device. Will keep GNEx for a long time I think.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
My galaxy nexus says verizon with samsung on the bottom. Google is nowhere on it. Cdma vs gsm ? Posdible pic is cdma?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
Yea the CDMA versions of the Galaxy Nexus just has the carrier and the Samsung logo. The GSM version that you can buy directly from google has the Google logo in the middle and the samsung logo on the bottom

Love the non-curved screen if true.

Finally, we will be able to use the same screen protectors like every other phone. Hello glass protectors and goodbye short fitting ones!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
so ready for confirmations, unveiling, etc... I'm hoping for the 5 nexus (nexii) theory... bring on the HTC Nexus 5!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayiskon:
i can see a logic in what u wrote , the Ideos U8150 which also was vanilla , on it's back it had the "withGoogle" tag..

we've already concluded on this forum that the cdma gnex (i.e carrier locked, bloatware, late updates and so on...) is not a real nexus device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voyager_s:
Wow...it looks nice. It will be exciting to have a nexus device from another top manufacturer like LG.

Sure their skins and software support are very bad but their hardware are very nice. Especially their true IPS displays.

Looking forward to this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Livebyte:
No LG branding on the front sold me that this is definitely a Nexus.

There is no LG device ever without a branding on the front.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TobiS87:
I don't want to start an argument about personal preferences here but what is the GNEX? A not very premium feeling full plastic device? Yes it is. The front of the LG device is nearly exactly the GNex front and the back is at least made out of other material than plastic. Not everyone will like that glossy back, that's for sure.

First, everybody is hating about android manufacturers, that they just build cheap plastic phones. Then LG does it different and people still complain. Haters gonna hate.

Well, perhaps this isn't even the new Nexus and all the fuss is for nothing. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazie1:
@iPathik this phone with the 2nd link the OP is not the final product. Yes the shape and design is final but the back logos are not final. A tipster said a version of the LG Nexus he played with on October 4 had a the word "NEXUS" written on the back like the Nexus 7, except the X was all four Google colors. That is said in the 2nd link when Androidandme updated their post...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Oh wow the front looks like a carbon copy of the samsung galaxy nexus but with bigger bezels at the top and especially the bottom :mad: , and the back hmmm looks kinda cheap i prefer the pattern on the back of the optimus g, and glass is the back? the iphoen 4/4s did that and we know how many broke :eek:

Well to me the best about this phone is that its not made by samsung, yay to ips lcd and a good camera! oh and snapdragon 4 pro i can only drool v:silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aooga:
Can someone tell me why HTC is so great? All the phones i've bought from them (One x and aria) were horrible. The one x has serious build quality issues...squeaking everywhere no matter where i touch it and the power button just DOESNT work. And the aria I returned the day after I bought it. It sucked.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drzfr3shboialex:
I agree. I'd prefer that HTC nexus with the same exact specs but a 1080p display and 5"display. This is the only lg phone I'm considering as well. It is a nexus, the galaxy nexus at first didn't even have Google on it, now it does. This is an advanced prototype it dosent have the multi colored X in the back, and maybe that X will be the new nexus phone "certification".

#Galaxy Nexus HSPA+
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eng.stk:
Sure GNex has a plastic touch, but not the glossy crap, it's "ruberrized" so it won't slip of your hand and no prints everywhere... and sure I hoped next Nexus would be a little more premium. If you pick a Nokia Lumia for instance, it's made of Policarbonate unibody (a kind of "plastic") but is very shock and scratch resistent. The whole Lumia devices are a design delicacy (With all kind of price ranges), hoped that next Nexus would feel a little more "premium", not the usual classic "boring" design. I think that LG is just to damn crappy old school design of a entry level chinese phone. GNEx and even Nexus are way better looking devices. And keep the curved glass, a Nexus is a Nexus.:cool:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Monk4Life:
If that's the true next nexus than that's a big fail. Hopefully that's a prototype that got thrown in the trash after they realized they made a big piece of turd!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luckylui:
That's not going to be the "True" Nexus. Someone has said earlier about a good point, the Nexus family tree. Has "Google™" on the back cover. The other phones like the upcoming LG Nexus has it saying "with Google™" That is possibly the best way to IMHO identify the differences. Thanks to the man who cracked the code! :)

And there is always a troll to bring this up. It's in AOSP, the binaries are available, and the update comes from Google once the carrier has given the stamp of approval for its network. Other than the CDMA proprietary radio code, it is the same experience as a GSM unlocked variant. What you are referring to as bloatware is really not - the first (and essential) item is an authentication app that enables connection to Verizon's network due to the hybrid CDMA/LTE. The other is Verizon's proprietary backup assistant to make migration of contacts easier in the event you were new to the world of Google. It's a Nexus. Accept it and move on.

I kind of regret ordering the nexus now....I should be receiving it tomorrow but still I don't have $700 to spend on a new device so $350 is good enough for me...ill get the new one once I have an upgrade..

& of course they will have above 8gb storage ... this is just a basic amount google put in their phone to allow enough space to fit in the OS and add in a great amount of apps/games etc instead of throwing in a 16gb on a prototype
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chlehqls:
Nah, don't regret. Most of us here paid much more than the $350 and they still love their Nexus.

And trust me, the next Nexus will be much more expensive unless Google is looking to subsidize their devices for whatever reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
700 bucks was flat out crazy. But I guess if people will pay that much...

Mid 500s us dollars is what basically all high end unlocked phones go for. Except the IPhone. Those cost in the mid sixes if I recall correctly.

I thoroughly enjoy paying double or a little more than double the price for a unlocked phone then paying at least double what I pay now a month for cell service on a contract for two damn years.

Forget android. I praise Google for pushing this idea in the states. Carriers / govt never learn. New radio technology comes around with LTE. They do the same damn bs with a million different bands and so on.

End mini off topic rant
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iPathik:
In my opinion, I think this phone will be released in the USA only since LG has done that in the past with their T-Mobile LG G2x Vanilla experience phone. Just as the G2x was the first Vanilla Experience phone with a dual core processor and it was based on the Optimus 2x, this phone will be the first quad core vanilla experience and will be based on the Optimus G.
