well, the nexus 4 is not 100 times better than the Gnex... dont be absurd! actually, I saw a comparison from a reputable site the other day, and they compare pretty darn well. That will not stop me from ditching my gnex when our nexus 4 finally ships though!

I am guessing this is what the other poster meant:

[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
The only reason why the Nexus 4 is half the price compare to other phones is because it's missing half the features;););) no expendable memory, no removable battery, no LTE.. You get what you pay for. .In this case you get a $350 phone. .which is not a bad deal by any means

Nexus 4 16gb = 395 shipped (per my receipt)

Except the screen, battery life, sd card slot, fully supported lte or the spen. Not bashing the n4 and honestly its a toss up between the two for me. But I won't be buying till March so we'll see how the market changes by then.

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
If you have so much of a love affair with the Note 2 then why are you here? There is no doubt the Note is an excellent phone. Samsung has some of the slickest hardware out there... spent over a grand on my local dimming LED Samsung TV that's still one of the best out there. Owned the Vibrant, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, and now the Nexus 10... all Samsung. They make the best memory chips in the world. I have no beef against them. The Note has some amazing features too other than the Wacom digitizer and S-Pen... the dual pane stuff included.

I just hate touchwiz and want a phone that gets all the newest software from Google when it comes out. The Nexus 4 is a different market for ME. For others... it's pretty comparable, even inferior in ways in hardware to the Note 2. Other than the touchwiz thing, it's just too big for me to use comfortably and it's not going to get the newest android OS updates fast. I would have been thrilled if Samsung had made a Nexus 7 that was similar in feature spec (but with 1080p) to the Nexus 10, or a Galaxy S III based/updated Nexus 4. Unfortunately they went with LG. It's mostly a software reason that I personally go with Nexus phones... even if it's LG this time around.

The price, plus decent hardware... even with the flaws, and most importantly VANILLA ANDROID (only unadulterated Android phones these days are Nexus phones) are the reasons most people that are here want/need this phone. I probably could have survived with my Galaxy Nexus another year, but I already sold it, so now I really have no other choice. Plus, though Google is atrocious at launching devices, they have the best return/RMA policy in the industry IMO.

Hurry up and be Monday already!!!!! I'm going to be going crazy at work waiting for the posts and emails to roll in as to whether they got another shipment in!
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
It really doesn't appeal to me at all. Not even in the slightest. I see no reason for expandable storage (I have Spotify), I see no reason for a swappable battery and LTE is more like meh for me. I find I have poor LTE signal where I live and lose massive battery from switching between hspa+ and LTE anyway. Oh yeah and the massive screen is just... overdone. I feel my 4.7 inch One X is pushing the limits of a screen size. I can't possible imagine using a 5.5 inch.

My current and previous phones were both 16gb with no expandable storage or removable battery. Perhaps I'm just better trained in the art of using my device highly effiecenty.

I think its kinda unnecessary to compare every android phone with a nexus 4... nexus should be compared with nexuses..because well having a nexus is a totally different experience than other android phones... a SENSE device can be compared to a TOUCHWIZ device because they both try to offer the same thing in a different way and try to 1 up each other..the nexus line isnt exactly like that...its a different experiance..good or bad is TOTALLY dependant on the user... theyr not trying to compete with other OEMs as much trying to create a path for them to follow...Lower price in this case..

It's really simple to de-bloat any phone/rom you want nowadays
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Regardless, if you want to continue using all those features Samsung has built in for the S-Pen and taking advantage of the giant screen, you're going to be stuck with a lack of updates.

The point stands that if doesn't make sense to hark on the Nexus 4 for not having the features of the Note 2. If I wanted the Note 2, I would buy the f**king Note 2 and not the Nexus. I think that's pretty much the standpoint of any others here who decided to buy the Nexus 4. Sure, there are some impatient people that will defect, but it doesn't make sense to come into a Nexus 4 thread to basically act as a sales rep for Samsung and the Note 2.

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
You know, I wish it was Samsung that made this phone but, alas, it didn't work out that way. About the Galaxy Nexus... I liked it so much, I bought my wife one. Also, my dumbo phone previous to the G1 was a Samsung... and pretty slick as far as dumb phones go. I tend to go out of my way to buy Samsung stuff, not just in the phone arena. They kind of own the electronics market right now... phones, TV, RAM (many OEM's use them, not to mention the best graphics cards), SSD's, Monitors, computers, etc. They are a great company! The Nexus 10, even with some screen oddities, I believe is the best tablet ever made (Yes, I've handled/used/borrowed iPads). If this venture with LG turns out poorly, I can almost guarantee that Samsung will once again be the partner of choice... unless they resurrect their own Motorola arm.

Google tends to partner with someone that offers something. With the Nexus S, the Samsung was the screen tech darling (SAMOLED). With the galaxy nexus, you had one of the first 720p screens along with the biggest phone volume seller in the world... and an already successful Google partnership. With the N7, Google partnered with the leading Android Tablet manufacturer, and one that is a low price leader as well. With the Nexus 10, Google needed a high end, high spec'd device that was a true iPad competitor but not derivative. In the 10 they got the highest tablet resolution to date and a company known for quality, also looking to have a success in the tablet arena. With LG, they were the first out the gate with the S4 Pro, and they have a very venerable display arm, as well as being hungry to make a dent in the phone market (other than manufacturing Apple hardware). Who knows what the future will bring, but I hope Samsung still has a spot in the Nexus arena. Not holding too much hope that Motorola will get a turn, though I would LOVE for them to. They always have the best accessories and it would be fitting since they are like the father of mobile phones. They also make very rugged devices and have the best radios... and don't forget about their MAXX line.

To be honest, I wish the multiple nexus phone rumor actually was true and their were different flavors of this phone. I honestly think that HTC probably pitched the DNA/Deluxe to Google as a Nexus device. Just due to the limitations (16GB and relatively low price despite the features), it seems too close to Nexus spec to not have been. In that phone they could have had the first 1080p phone with the highest PPI, would have been a similar riff to the Nexus 10. We will probably never know, but there's still a choice that a Nexus line... a sort of AOSP certification process will be in the cards. If Google ever shores up their retail arm, that would be super appealing. Would definitely assure new Android updates to more manufacturers as common hardware would make it easier to update (Think a GSIII/Note type Nexus would make transfer to their own software faster) ultimately.

Just a rant. On a good note... it's now Sunday on the east coast. about 36 hours till we find out if Google got a new shipment in to alleviate us LL3'ers. :cool:
