[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] THE_KINGDOM:
Honestly i'm looking at the spec for this LG phone and it's actually an amazing spec for a Nexus phone. I see a lot of people complaining about the LG brand but in the end of the day, the internals are the internals, the last nexus by Samsung was plastic and lowish quality external build too, but as I see it this new nexus 4 phone by LG is going to be a big hit. I cannot wait until they start developing heavily for this phone, maybe we can finally have Android 4.1.2/4.2 running with zero lag at all. That is the day I cannot wait for
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
I don't think people realize the iPhone 5 has like a 1400 mah battery too and still does well with lasting life! These complaints people are having about a $350 UNLOCKED WORLD PHONE, that has top of the line specs that should be priced at well over $650, its just simply ridiculous

Hey guy, you know you can get the 2100 oem extended battery for the GNEX and it doesn't make a difference, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bozzykid:
Yeah, going from 8 hours talk time on the GN to 12 hours on the N4 sucks. What was Google thinking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
I wish i could get one, damn, the best phone around and the cheapest too(for its hardware range), damn unlucky me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
It doesn't on LTE.

It would on GSM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Are u serious? Its GSM, its not LTE...if it were LTE then they'd certainly put a bigger battery in there, just like with the lte galaxy nexus having a bigger battery than the gsm version

Thank you Vandam500 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Let's be realistic guys. Is this really a worthy successor of the GNEX? If you believe so then your thought process is very similar to the ifoam fanboys.

I bet if it didn't bear the name "Nexus" you would lose your erection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simer03:
Or you could do what you want to do and let other people do what they want to do, instead you just come try to stir something up and just come off looking as a troll by not looking at the facts! Its every bit an upgrade from the galaxy Nexus, everything from the processor to the camera to the material used on the back...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
Actually this IS a worthy upgrade for the current nexus hardware-wise, software-wise it isnt unless the Gnexus couldnt run 4.2

But its not a paste a new number on the same sh*t and lets all drool like the ifans
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah I don't hink anyone sees it as a major software upgrade. Although when there is a major upgrade, guess who sees it first :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albundy2010:
No. People where excited about the s4 pro. People are exited about a15 cores in the 10 and future devices. We tech fans follow this stuff and are happy we get top notch hardware this time in a new nexus device.

People are very excited about the HTC 5 inch phone. Fanboys like crap because of the logo/brand on the device. This is not the case for this phone. Not even close.

You are that one that looks like a gnex / Sammy / whatever fanboy honestly dude,

Sad that the GNex didn't have it, but glad they upped it to DC-HSPA+ 42mbps for the Nexus 4.

With all these hardware upgrades, I'm having a hard time figuring out why this isn't a worthy upgrade...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lwfb:
I'm wondering the same... the Nexus 4 and 10 are the most high end, industry leading devices Google has ever put out. All at prices beyond belief.

I thought for sure a 16GB Nexus 4 would go for $450 at least. $350 is simply unbelievable... and $400 for the 16GB Nexus 10?!?! Yes please, take my money Google.

Oh well though, if more folks think these devices aren't worth it, at least I know they'll have some in stock on launch day!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
$350 for the 16GB Nexus 4 is a pleasant surprise, and makes it worth considering again IMO. At the same price point and storage capacity as the Galaxy Nexus, the significantly improved hardware specs seem very attractive.

The remaining caveats for me are:

* How will the SoD vs non-removable battery wars turn out?

* Will the LG build quality actually do the specs justice?

* Could I justify a new purchase when my Galaxy Nexus is working perfectly?

So I will take a cautious back seat for a while and see how things turn out. But I'm glad to see the Nexus 4 back in the game.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Agreed. I wasn't interested when the specs first leaked for two reasons: I thought it looked too flat and wide, and I expected it to retail for $650.

Seeing this news has blown my mind. $350 for a Nexus phone that is better or equal to the GNexus in nearly* every respect AND at the same price today (not 6 months later)?? And watch The Verge's interviews with Matias/Andy Rubin on Youtube... I'm impressed that they really took the time to curve the glass/plastic in new ways that should be more ergonomic. We all made fun of the Nexus 10's leaked pics, but seeing him hold that tablet in one hand so comfortably really impressed me.

*Still waiting to see if the IPS LCD has good enough black levels, but I think it's a safe choice over AMOLED even if the contrast is not as good.

Got a few questions, it'd be great if someone could answer.

Will this be available in Canada from Google play? Because they never sold the galaxy nexus to Canada from google
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
From the official PR:

"It will be available to purchase in both an 8GB version and a 16GB version on Google Play™ starting November 13 in the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia. Offline availability in Europe, Central/South Americas, Asia, CIS and the Middle East will begin from the end of November."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] subxero123:
Thanks! Will be putting my galaxy nexus on kijiji tomorrow!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leets4uc3:
For sure per ordering it and going broke.

*****es are gunna drool over this. I think the build quality I going to be a lot better than the gnex. And that sexy as **** IPS display.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strumcat:
I'm not sure how this translates to mobile phone screens in general, or the Nexus 4 in particular, but in the world of computer monitors, IPS is the Holy Grail for serious photographers. Nothing else touches it for color accuracy, viewing angles, and smooth gradients.

Of course that might not be as important for phones, where heavy contrasts and oversaturated colors make games, themes, and webpages look better. But IMO, IPS could be an improvement.

I hope the glass is very strong, because curving the glass all the way over the edge of the phone seems like it could lead to more breakage with dropped phones. (ie., It might be more likely to land on a glass edge than a plastic edge.) But that remains to be seen.

The Photo Sphere is only new in the name. The technology is found in Microsoft's Photosynth app http://photosynth.net/about.aspx.

I remember using this back when I had Iphone 4. It's great to have it by default thought! And the ability to share it in Google is even more fun. Can't w8 4 4.2!

Storage is 8GB & Delievery on October 30
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NexusDro:
I hope they make a higher capacity version with LTE. Otherwise, it would seem like a downgrade from the Gnex, canceling out the SoC upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfyrle:
Me too but I will wait for the Samsung lineup! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zorachus:
Ouch expected price for the 8GB version approx $629

Uh no thanks, I'll stick with my Galaxy Nexus and install a 4.2 ROM.

I just don't see the LG Nexus 4 worth over $600 if you already have the G Nex. I'll buy it once it cones down to $349 for 16gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssvijay:
Sorry to ask but can you point me to the link where you found this price details.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
Cant understand this launching with 8gb memory unless it has a micro sd card slot.. no way could you live with 8gb memory these days stock.. and i dont want a usb key hanging out of my phone for extra storage..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] senaca:
I think I'll skip this one. It looks pretty much like the GNex. I don't need a quad core yet. And I am quite sure the GNex will get 4.2 too...probably even Android 5.0

I skipped the Nexus 2 as well. :D

Edit: Update: The Verge has received a photo from the Carphone Warehouse inventory system, which shows the 8GB Nexus 4 priced at £389.95 SIM-free. That's considerably lower than the Galaxy Nexus launch price, but still not a small amount of cash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androidkid311:
Pfft 8GB! Must be a joke. Backing up a few ROMs then its game over regarding storage. I'm so glad I got my gnexus. It will defo get the 4.2. Dual core is fine right now. All I can say is roll on the 4.2 update lol :).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mordakk:
I want this phone but not buying unless it's 16gb or higher
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
id take it at 8gb if it allows me put a 32gb micro sd card into it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yyz71:

who cares bout lg nexus

im more interested in whats new in 4.2 that google gonna give us
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swordfish123:
Google should get Motorola to come up with the nexus devices. Any other vendor will try to make the nexus one step below their flagship model. I don't see much improvement in nexus 4 over Gnex. Dual core or quad core, if your software is optimized (like the nexus series) it shouldn't make much difference

Sent from my Gnex
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Nexus devices = Developer models = internal space isn't a requirement when Developing apps

I agree 8GB is WAY too low but we weren't exactly going to get 32/64GB initially were we?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaKii94:
I read somewhere that they kept the capacity low to promote use of their Google drive for music/photo/video storage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
We got 16gb initially with the Gnex, so 16gb for the lg nexus sounds reasonable

I thought they were trying to keep the price low but thats not the case(from what ive seen, nothing's official)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] supguise:
If you take out the VAT (value added tax), it comes out to about $500.

But I've seen people saying when it comes to tech products, usually £ = $, so it would probably be $399 for the 8gb, $449 for 16gb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Absolutely, but we didn't have decent cloud storage when the GNex came out. Maybe they (Google) are expecting us to use Drive?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] androo45:
8GB, only tri-band 3G en no LTE on 800/1800/2600 Mhz? This is just sad, very sad indeed. Even the other 'high-end' specs just don't cut it.

Google, I'm disappointed in you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Nexus phones are *not* developer phones. Yes, they are developer friendly, and they work well as phones for developers but they are consumer phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
They are Dev phones - if not then why is the advertising so poor? Surely Samsung/Google would be all over it! I would not class the Nexus range as 'consumer' phones, although they are very good phones. They are 'reference' devices used to show off the latest version of Android
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
Hopefully GNex will get 4.2 soon after Google starts selling Nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarkozy:
Lol. It's a consumer device like any other. Absolutely nothing makes it any more special than any other thing. Having one doesn't mean you're part of a special club.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chasoo:
The amount of blind assumptions in this thread is a mockery of itself.

The specs probably aren't real. Carphone just wanted some publicity and web traffic. The only facts unveiled by the preorder page is the appearance of the device. Specs, price, availability, and software features are all being closely withheld by Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
Tegister at pogoplug. Get 10gb free space to backup stuff to. Then use that to store videos. Phone for apps and pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pfmiller:
Google used to make dev phones. They were called dev phones and they were only available from the developer website. They don't make dev phones any more because the Nexus line server the purpose, but they are not designed or marketed as dev phones.

I would imagine the marketing is so poor because Google isn't primarily a phone maker and they don't want to be.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BennyJr:
Did anyone see that the nexus isn't being made in 8gb?? Why would google release a phone with 8gb? Doesn't make sense. Plus the n7 thats getting data is running an Intel XMM 6260, or essentially the same radio in the current gnex. Pentaband. I believe that site was completely wrong. They just put it up for some strange reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] _chanstar_:
No removable battery and 8GB/16GB with no external SD?? If no external SD, might as well make them 32GB off the bat. Blah.

Other than that, the phone is beautiful. Can't wait for 4.2 Key Lime Pie/Project Roadrunner though!!

Yes and to be honest they will run the very same because most of the time the extra two cores are varely used. Dont forget the camera is 8mp and 2gb ram which is too much i think

You're right. Lol thanks broskie!! Too many rumors and reading many articles with different information. I thought it was confirmed...my bad. Anyways, can't wait for 4.2.

Wow! If they sell that phone on Google play with 8gb and a cost of over $600 then Google in my opinion can go SUCK IT! I would in no way pay over $350 for that phone. Practically same screen size, less storage, and a LG? Pass. I learnt my lesson with the G2X and vowed to never own anything by LG. No freakin way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
Same here. First screen that's ever broken on a screen for me. And this phone has taken quite the beating since I got it. Probably one of the gentlest drops its taken today when it broke. Once it actually flew out my car Window when going around a corner and suffered no more than a slight scratch on the screen and light scar on the case. Ya sure the back and battery flew off, but that's nothing new. Just couldn't believe it today.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 063_XOBX:
They aren't "forcing" you to do anything. If you don't like it vote with your wallet. I think it's a sign that they really want to push cloud storage as a strength of android. Imagine if they get up in the 100gb range included with the phone. Data speeds aren't there yet but they should be "soonish".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaKii94:
thats for mentioning something i mentioned a couple of posts ago :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dri94:
In probably a year or two data will be there. A new linear equation was found for sending data over wireless (any kind) to greatly increase speeds (10x) and to make lost packets sent a thing of the past. It simply uses a formula so your processor can figure out what the lost packets were. This improves the speed as said above and is a linear equarion and makes the littlest impact on even phone cpu. Also, since its just an equation. Doesnt even need new hardware, works with everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] KiNG OMaR:
I love all the girls whining about LG. I had a G2x also, it was a great device and it was fun while it lasted. Get over it. I loved my G2x, I love my Galaxy Nexus, and I'm really looking forward to the Nexus 4. LG makes AWESOME hardware.

Then obviously the geniuses at Google are planning ahead for this. They already built gigabyte city and then that. This is all an elaborate "city of tomorrow" thing if they can pull it off.
