pheww! thank god!

BTW what a co-incidence Goggle is launching on 13 November (on diwali) but not here in India. :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Yeah sad thing... They actually don't keep us in mind at all... They aim for chrismas... We Indians are always considered low, even though we prove ourselves in every field in the world... Really annoying...

Funny thing is max of google employees r indians... Pity
[Nexus 4 General] Android Rocks:
They don't care how how intelligent we are in every field. They believe in one thing that is money!

Our respected PM will charge lots of taxes with google products that's why in India we don't have google play store to purchase nexus devices.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
I know its a silly question... Does FDI in retail passed with controversy, matter in any way??? I mean, Selling Phone comes to retail isn't it??? Or Google has to get special permissions from HRD or IT ministry or something???

I think i went too far, did't I... lol :D

no idea! dude.. I am a science student. :(
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
First off, the website you pointed doesn't give out even one official press release of the prices. Why would I consider him an authority on pricing? And as for the 599 Euro price, thats for the European region, not the Indian subcontinent. Is there a official price announcement by LG stating that the N4 will cost 41k in India? No? Then whatever you say is pure speculation and guess work.

The iPhone 4/ 4s had a glass back. Look how well it sold. The GNex has a plastic body. And look how well THAT sold. Hardly anyone knows about the GNex, and unless there is sufficient marketing done by LG, hardly anyone will know about the N4 too. Have you read all the reports about how fragile the S3 is? One drop and the screen is sure to shatter. But its still selling like crazy. Glass backs don't work for you, thats your choice. But saying that the price of a hardly known (GNex) phone thats more than an year old will go up because people won't like a new phone is just wishful thinking on your part.

Oh by the way, I am not dishing out an EXTRA 20k. Its going to cost me 390USD :p And its not just a better processor, a better GPU, a MUCH better screen, better quality of construction materials, inductive charging, MUCH better camera and a thinner profile compared to the GNex. Just sold my Crapwiz S3 and I will have about a 100 dollars remaining after I get this phone. So much win!

EDIT: Did I mention better battery life than the GNex too? :p

Its been posted multiple times already!! It would be good if the OP updates his post with eBay links to the 8gb and 16gb unofficial 'preorder' so that people stop posting them after every couple of pages

As Apple put it when asked the reason for not opening an Apple store in India, they don't consider it as a wide enough customer base yet. It might be the same reason with Google too. But I think the Play Store will start selling hardware soon. Google is really beginning to put efforts into spreading its customer base. Things will get better.

Even i am planning to buy n4. My aunt is coming frm US on 26th. She is ready to buy and get it for me.. so should i buy from US or should i buy from India? Really confused! Plz help me.. will i get warranty if i pre-order from ebay?

[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
does nexus 4 record videos in stereo? I see that its got two microphones for a better call quality but what about stereo recording when making videos?
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Galaxy nexus which was sold for $350 in that US, was available for about 21k in India... Now since the nexus 4 is also sold at the same price, I would expect the price to be around 22k if not more... So I suggest you to wait a bit until a few more sellers are available...
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
FYI galaxy nexus was never made available in India.
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
I was talking about the one available on eBay...

Amazing! Check that stuff out guys http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1977708

Better than Optimus G,Iphone 5 :D
[Nexus 4 General] whosaysjohn:
It was only available for 21k towards the end of its life... It started to sell at around 35k on ebay when it was launched...
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
It was launched at around $600... Then Google dropped its price to $350 in the play store, hence the price drop here... So since nexus 4 is being launched at $350 itself, expect the prices to be near 22k...
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
Not going to happen. Remember, the N4 costs 21k in the US including taxes. However, since pricing in India is controlled by LG, and they wouldn't want such low prices undercutting the sales of their own flagship, the Optimus G (is that what its called?), the pricing will be around the 27-28k mark. But then again, all of this is just speculation, albeit, a logical one.

---------- Post added at 07:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:41 PM ----------

You just posted half the story. The other half goes to show that the benchmark was done with the phone in the freezer. Thus proving that the lower benchmark scores were a result of thermal throttling.

I just hope this is not a hardware issue
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
I'm talking about the price of imported nexus 4 on ebay...

Yes, the price of officially launched nexus 4 is going to be above 25k...
[Nexus 4 General] whosaysjohn:
Prices on eBay will change once it is officially launched in India... It Will reflect the price almost similar to that of the Indian version... Let's hope better sense prevails with LG India with regards to the pricing...
[Nexus 4 General] circleofomega:
^THIS. Says it all...Will be a deal breaker for me. If, for some godforsaken reason LG plans to sell it as high as the Optimus G, Im jumping boat.

Buying the 8X.

I doubt that honestly. People will still place orders. Anywas, lets wait and patch.

Guys I need some help...

I have a friend in the USA... he is ready to buy this phone and send it to me... So I wanted to know what are the possible ways he can send it to me and how much will be the cost...

So if any of you have bought something in this way, please help me...
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Hi... LG Optimus 4x HD which has slightly similar specs compared to Nexus 4...

Its 38k in official site - http://www.lg.com/in/mobile-phones/...|16951651512&gclid=CMedm4_Hv7MCFUd66wod0wUAVQ

Its just 27k in Flipkart - http://www.flipkart.com/lg-optimus-4x-hd-p880/p/itmdbvvka8tysfc8

So i think lg will keep price somewhere near 30-35k but will be brought down to around 27k in future buy retilers...

Also, If LG obliges to people's request & try to keep prices low... I think they might come close to 27k but not less...

So I think we have to wait for a while to get it around 25k or just pre book from firangi bhai or something to get it fast...

What do u guys think???
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
I don't think there will be such a huge difference in price at launch..

Also the problem is that after this phone I just can't wait to get my hands on it...

That's why I'm asking my friend to ship it..

:D
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
No man... I think u haven't heard about the LG trying to place twice as much money to sell it in non play store enabled countries...

Even if ur friend buys & ships u from US it would be near to 24k rs...

Here how it is...

349$ from play store + 30$ service tax + 10$ shippment to ur friend's house = 390$

Shipment from US to u would cost about 20$ + u hav to pay cusoms duty when arrived in india So 20-30$ (m not sure though it might be cheap or costlier... but an average guess) = 40$

So it would be 390$ + 40$ = 430$ - 23.5k rs ( 55 as exchange rate taken)

So I bet Lg will try to rip off with atleast 5k profit... As u can see today Asus Officially released Nexus 7 for 20k rs which is complete rip off from what is in playstore -199$ - 11k rs... They have almost doubled it...

This is my only concern...

The only cheapest price u get is when ur friend in US buys from playstore & brings it with him saying its his phone... That would save u the shipping charge & Customs duty...

[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
You guys need to stop worrying about pricing as of now. All the Indian websites are just extrapolating info from other countries. They might turn out to be right, but the thing to remember is that they are just guessing.

Bottom line, stop paying attention to websites who just write speculative articles just to increase their viewer base without anything to back it up.

Hey guys i havew a friend whos coming to india in dec and he can def get me the nexus 4...

but m confused abt the model i should buy the 8gb or the 16gb

Anybody knows how much will be the actually space in the 8gb model....

Plus the mentioned prices on the play store of 299 and 349 will increase cos of taxes and shipping of around 40 $

So that would be 339 and 389 thats around 18,300 and 21,000 ( so no way LG is gonna price these products for less then 25,000)

Cos if u import and pay then only the price will climb near to 25,000 on the top of that they would like to reap in the benefits...so very unlikely

Just my view

Hey guys check this out... Another seller just put up in ebay & its 26,950 http://www.ebay.in/itm/261124953828...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_3949wt_1139

I feel that the ebay prices also will increase if LG officially launches the phone here for a higher price....

Plus i have also heard that google play will allow only 5 phones per transaction to every buyer....
[Nexus 4 General] AbhishekS:
From where do you guys get these ebay coupons?
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
U just have to register on ebay... They ll send u these coupons often... Also the coupons they send r not common to everyone, but i don't exactly know whats their criteria of sending it... Some sites like coupondunia & manymore list these coupons - some of them work & some don't... Try googling it...

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------

I don't know if the seller is genuine or not... But u r in safe hands - Ebay...

Ebay has a thing called ebay guarantee... In that it covers for u in case of fraud sellers... If ur product didn't get delivered or faked or damaged, u can report in ebay guarantee & they will give u a full refund including ur shipping charges...

I had an experience with a fake micro sd card sold to me by a fake buyer & i got full refund... Thats the huge confidence with buying on ebay...

[Nexus 4 General] iamdchosen1:
The prices of Nexus 4 as 300$ and 350$ are just Google's prices.. Expect LG's pricing to go much higher after the launch on Nov 13..

But as Indian customers, I believe that LG has a golden opportunity to improve their reputation as android making devices by launching it at a reasonable price!

LG phones are always overlooked by the Indian buyers and they have never been able to shake up the Indian markets like how Samsung and HTC have done ..

Providing the device around 25k at most will be a phenomenal deal..

Asus had a chance and they blew it away..

It's one chance LG cannot afford to lose!

I'm getting one from the US for myself. I'm pretty sure LG centers here won't give me support if needed but I doubt I would :)

As for the Indian price it will be higher since it is not released in India as a "Google Phone". LG will rebrand it and sell it which means they can charge a different rate and more importantly, its a LG phone meaning updates might come when they come.. This paragraph is conjecture on the basis of my understanding and has absolutely nothing to back it up.. :)

Nexus 7 is not selling at double the price. It's selling at 9-10k premium. So if nexus 4 is around 18-19k then u can expect a price of 18-19+10 k, that's 28-30k. Will come down to nearly 25k in the first month. That's the price one should buy it for.
