My only give 5000....:( I think I have to return again because lags when scrolling, it's the third that i receive.... I think it's enought!

Which rev are yours?
[Nexus 4 General] evertjr:
S3 is a piece of sh*t. Very broken phone my worst purchase ever by far (i9300). This phone have all kinds of problems, from chips dying randonly to buggy software. Touchwiz have some nice features but the GS3 just cant handle them properly. The memory management was so bad that it starts killing its own launcher all the time.

I switched to a Nexus 4 and its like heaven compared to GS3, but I would like to have a better camera software.

I don't have anything against Samsung and touchwiz, I quite like it but GS3 is just a broken phone with a good camera software. I think only the GS4 have a experience on par with Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] dazza_84:
need a little advice please, my iphone broke and my upgrade aint for another 12 months, a friend of mine has offered to sell me his htc one X for £150 or i can get a nexus 4 off ebay for around £170, what would be the better deal? especially since the one x is nearly 2 years old? i just need the phone to hold up for another 10-12 months till my upgrade?

thanks guys
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
Nexus 4 I think
[Nexus 4 General] monkor:
Depends on if you like taking pictures or not. The Nexus 4 camera is awful. Now I knew that going into it, so I didn't care all that much. But I've used both, and the One X is noticeably superior in anything other than perfect light situations. So if you value things like Instagram, Snapchat, etc., then just be ready to take bad pictures.

That said, the Nexus 4 has amazing dev support and it's easily the best phone I've owned.
[Nexus 4 General] dazza_84:
thanks for the advice, i think i will get the nexus as its a bit more future proof than the one x

thanks alot
[Nexus 4 General] abdo jouma:
get the nexus 4 man . it is better:D
[Nexus 4 General] lalec:
Nexus 4 is a good phone. I personally prefer the easily replaceable battery and the ability to add external storage that I have with my current phone. As long as you know about those limitations and the camera issues you will be pleased with that choice.
[Nexus 4 General] sinndissension:
Just wish the nexus 4 could use SD cards, but I've tried GS3/4 and a few other high end phones, but never liked them as much as the nexus

I have just sold my Nexus 4 which was in pristine condition for £180 fourteen months after buying it. It was £300 brand new which means It has only cost me only £8.50 per month to use a top of the range phone.

Is there any other phone that holds its value this well?
[Nexus 4 General] rajendra82:
As much as I hate to admit it, iPhone holds the most value. I bought a used iPhone 4 for my wife for $200 on Craig's list in spring 2012, about 18 months after it had first come out, and sold it 18 months later in fall 2013 for $160.
[Nexus 4 General] pappyN4:
That sucks. Nothing like getting an unlocked phone for half the price of a flagship...

Google also sold the Motorola handset division as well; though I though that they bought it for the patents.
[Nexus 4 General] mrphil101:
I lost my damn g4. So I now own a LG Flex. I bought it because I wanted a larger screen. 6" curved is sweet.

Compared to my N4, first it ihas amazing for Battery life. N4 is not even close. Same usage on the phones, I would have to charge the n4 late in the day or battery would die. I have gone two days on my flex and still had 54%.

The curved screen is really nice. I never use my phone against my head, speaker or bluetooth or leave a message, but other users seem to like it for calls, I like it for games and movies. It Does not have a 1080 screen. A "flagship" device and not 1080. But the 720 oled isn't bad.

I had been on nexus's for a few years, I normally keep a phone for about 1.5 - 2 years. Now I have a locked bootloader and have to wait for updates (like i will not hack it as soon as I can). that is one of the best features of the nexus phones. Flex came with JB. Not kitkat.

Flex has IR. Can go through the stores and mess with their tv's. Can program it to tv's dvd's cable boxes, etc.

The nexus's are still smoother than the flex, even my n2 plays games better. The flex stutters sometimes.

T-mobile is proactive with lost\stolen devices. Is preloaded with app and they will wipe and set screen unlock, and they also preload security and backup software.

but, all in all, if the n4 had a 6" screen i sure would rather have a nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] itasoulas:
stop worrying about that. Google will never abandon the "Nexus Concept". Yes, maybe the naming will change but there will always be pure android devices.
[Nexus 4 General] rrohanjs:
i doubt there ever will be a nexus with sd card and open battery cover .. which stresses the need to have bigger batteries and a 64gb storage option .. camera needs to improve a lot as well .. this is where i tend to look for other phones as an option .. but in the end i buy a NEXUS :D
[Nexus 4 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Sold my Note II and got a White N4 16gb.

No regrets so far. The Note was too uncomfortable to use.
[Nexus 4 General] dentedent:
Good decision, it's nice to have a phone that fits in your pocket!
[Nexus 4 General] Mashed_Potatoes:
Haha, i agree on that one. I had to pull it out of my jeans every time i had to sit on a chair!
[Nexus 4 General] ggmask:
This actually doesn't sound like a terrible idea, but like the article says I worry about the price. The Nexus 4 is the best phone I've owned and it's also one of the most affordable. I can't believe how awesome the Nexus line is in just price alone.
[Nexus 4 General] VikramW8:
Hey guys,

My dad got Xperia Z1 compact. It's just the right phone for him. I very nice camera, average sized HD screen, water & dust proof, easy to use, etc and he likes Sony. I couldn't help but notice that the colors on the z1 computer are more vibrant than my nexus 4 despite the fact that both the phones use the same displays[educate me if I'm wrong! ;)] I'm on faux kernel and have tried most of the popular colour profiles. But except for the yellow tint on the xperia the colours are atleast 25 percent more vibrant and the display remains brighter even if I try the stock nexus 4 colour profile. How is that? Can anyone come up with a profile with colors similar to the xperia z1 compact??? It's REALLY BUGGING me.. I was going to buy the xperia zr but 6 months ago it was 80-100 USDs more than the N4
[Nexus 4 General] HKSpeed:
i go back and forth between my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 4. I love the color/brightness of the N4's IPS LCD screen over the GS4's AMOLED. There are too many little things the GS4 has over the N4, which prevents me from making the N4 my daily driver.
[Nexus 4 General] Pituky:
Going to seel my 2 years old sg3 and to buy a n4..white. brand new sealed box..

Same money..

Not sure for how long it is going to receive new android versions.

But I know it is a great phone, despite the camera an the lack of memory expansion..
[Nexus 4 General] dantezinn:
Check the official thread, if there are or someone can share the tweaks made on screen.
[Nexus 4 General] mrphil101:
I lost my g4. Wah! I was wanting a bigger screen so i got the lg gflex. Nice big 6" screen and incredible battery life. Thing is locked up tighter than fort knox. I am tired of handcuffs already. So much bloat and crap that looks at my stuff. I remember why i was with the nexus's. Love the big screen, don't think i would go smaller. Hope there is a nexus waiting 4 me when i can get off this one.
[Nexus 4 General] RootNightmareX:
So nexus 6 will be the latest or will be one more ? Sorry for the english

How about OnePlus One? It looks promising on paper and since it's CM based OS, it might be developer friendly.

[Nexus 4 General] Overdose1986:
The Oneplus one IMO is the best phone right now, excellent camera, super fast, awesome desing and quality, support, development and more than 2 years updates because of cyanogenmod, just like the nexus...

Im going to buy it... someday... when I finally get an invite... Or maybe I'll wait for the nexus 6
[Nexus 4 General] The Zel:
I'd just wait for the nexus 6, that's what I'm doing

[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
I have the nexus 5 since about 2 months ago and just got my fiancee a nexus 4 to replace her bb q10 and hold her over until she can get an iPhone again.

So far her only complaints about the n4 are the camera and the size. The nexus 5 camera is way better. It is faster too but if I had the n4 I would keep it for now unless I had extra money to spare.

She is very fussy by the way and impatient with electronics, so for her not to complain about this phone is a big thing.
[Nexus 4 General] Overdose1986:
I did the opposite thing, I got the Nexus 5 in december and I gave it to her as a christmas present because she is always taking pictures and I knew she wanted the nexus 5... She cried like a child(cause she knows that I want it too). It was worth it, and Im happy with my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
I told her if she wasn't happy I would switch with her. She already knew she was okay with my nexus 5 but it was a bit too big for her.

Now I just got a text from her saying she is not sure she could go back to the iPhone now.... Will be interesting to hear why. She always bashed android before.

It turned out to be the size. She tried to use her mom's iPhone 4 and it was way too small for her even though she used the 4s for nearly a year.

Why would anyone want to go back to apple when they have had a nexus to play about with.ANY NEXUS. Sorry but if your into your phones you would only want android surely.

[Nexus 4 General] Vitamin_D:
Moto X 2014. I bought one and it's a nice phone but feels too big. The size and feel of the Nexus 4 is almost perfect. I don't use a case and still have the glass back. I've giving it a month to see how I like the Moto phone.
[Nexus 4 General] mkennedy455:
I'm on a ~ one week challenge with an iPhone 5. I will either sell it after or just use it as an iPod and camera since the camera and music sound quality are way better than the nexus 4. Besides those two areas where the iPhone wins I can already tell after using this for 48 hours that I could not give up the nexus. I had the nexus 5 for 6 months before I downgraded to the nexus 4 and the nexus 4 feels the best in hand. Perfect size and shape in my opinion. Performance loss going from nexus 5 is noticeable but not huge.
[Nexus 4 General] loop4444:
Heres my recent nexus 4 story!

I owed Huawei p8 just until few days ago. Before that, i had lg g3, then lg spirit.. Back before, i also owned n4. It was my fav phone besides htc one x and maybe samsung s2 (it was circa the 3-4months after it was released that i bought it)

I sold it for financial reasons, i always change phones, mid-high end range (except spirit. he's kinda low-end), depending on my financial situation. So few days ago, i get great offer to trade my p8 for nexus 4 and 200eur. I check nexus, not a scratch, protector was still on, and battery was replaced 1 year ago, i got written proof from service shop and all. I said hell yeah, lets exchange.

So i come home, it was running latest stock loli, never unlocked bootloader, never flashed any roms, nothing.

OH THE FEELS MAN. It was like brand new n4 out of the box, so u unlock it, put TWRP, and im rocking cm13 nightlies and changing karnels to see which i like best.

But the point of it all (and this thread) is my comparison with the p8. Make no mistake, p8 is more powerfull in hardware. but its bloated with EMUI, theres 1 (stock based) custom rom, and unlocking bootloader is a painfull process which requires sending emails to Huawei, etc etc. The moment i booted into cm 13 (it sure as hell has some bugs atm) I was just thrilled. THE FEELS AGAIN. This thing is, and i wont lie, faster in every single thing then p8, even games that i play (8 ball, swords of xolan) work the same. (i know its probably less powerfull then p8 in more heavy games). Multitasking? n4 remembers atleaset 7-8 systems apps opned at all times. p8? maybe 4-5. Maybe. Speed of opening apps? N4 by far. I dont care about pretty good camera i lost when i sold p8, or the battery life which is much worse on n4. I love this thing, i love it again.

To be back at xda everyday and flash nightlies daily, to change karnels 2 times per day, too see this great community again was so thrilling. Im pretty damn sure the android N port will come aswell, sooner or later.

Its just a blast to see how much custom roms, and a community can do for a device and keep it fresh, and running on-par, if not better then much more newer and more powerfull device.. I know p8 would be BEAST on AOSP/CM, but thats never going to happen. Or if so (the guy menaged to somewhat run CM on p8, but not much works) it will be too late.

So im sticking with my reborn baby for a while, as long as i can, then i guess good thing would be to think in nexus 6p direction.

Im pretty sure theres much of stories like this, but i just had to share, im sure you dont mind :)

Long live n4
[Nexus 4 General] colin p:
I like to read these old (ancient) threads and compare the N4 to newer phones and confirm my satisfaction to this old phone. It certainly does everything I need it to do, especially on a custom ROM such as CM 13.

I get more than enough SOT (for my needs) and with playing around with kernel settings, as well as other battery saving settings, I have it dialled pretty good.

I have had this phone since I bought it new in November 2013 and as parts are still available, if/when anything goes, I'll repair it. For my usage, I get 2 hours SOT with 60-70% battery left before plugging in. I leave it plugged in all night and in the morning ready to go for another day. Between this and my Nexus 7 2013, I'm good to go.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I switched to an lg g3 and then to an s7 edge but the n4 was one of the best phones I've ever owned. At some point i may even grab another one as a secondary.
[Nexus 4 General] tharweb:
Still got mine, couldn't bear to part with it.
[Nexus 4 General] xWolf13:
Actually switched to the S7 Edge a few weeks ago. I already knew that root + bootloader unlock (Qualcomm Variant) may not be possible, although progress was made over at the S7 forums. The Nexus 4 is just to play around with and my sibling is using it as a little gaming device. I've fallen in love with the S7 Edge and it was worth the upgrade. I got it with the buy one get one free special during memorial day.
[Nexus 4 General] tokuzumi:
I picked up a N4 18 months ago, as a backup device/nexus collection. I was using a 5X, and sold that, so I went back to my Nexus 5. Loved using it, but decided to sell that, too. I have a phone arriving today, so I've been using my Nexus 4 as my primary device. Never used it for anything other than keeping it charged up, and as a wifi device. But using it every day for the last week has been a real joy. The device feels amazing in the hand, and is probably one of the best feeling devices I've ever used. It definitely is showing its age a little bit, but compared to the other phones that came out around the same time, it performs very well. It's running the stock 5.1.1 firmware. I could almost continue to use this every day, and be happy. I miss the LTE connectivity (using it on AT&T), so that's why I can't really use it long term. Looks like the best Nexus devices were the Nexus 4 and 5.
[Nexus 4 General] Fabry1998:
So... I had the Nexus 4 for like two and a half years: I broke the screen , replaced it with a super chinese one(now its bottom part is detached from the midframe, that it's cracking, and the lcd is slowly detaching from the glass), the battery has seen really better days(1 hour SOT in 3g), headphone jack was dead and it randomly decided to die at like 30%of battery. Now I replaced it with a S6(I know, it is a "old" phone, but for 200€ NEW was an instant cop), mainly because I couldn't go out with a phone that dies randomly, because I need that for bus and train monthly passes. The difference from the two is HUGE, mainly for the display and the camera, but if someone now offers me a decent Nexus 4 I'll take it ASAP: it's super fast even nowadays and the fact that t has a enormous community for me is a plus. Now it's here sitting completely died as I think of something I coud do with it.

I just bought a used LG nexus 4 on eBay because I hardbricked my last android a g900v been using a I phone 4s for the last month how much better is the nexus 4 vs the I phone 4s and vs the s5
[Nexus 4 General] Spl4tt:
You're a bit late aren't you
[Nexus 4 General] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
Well as long as nexus 4 has an android 7.1 rom it is still alive so no I'm not late

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:43 PM ----------

Plus the nexus 4 was only 50$ on eBay
[Nexus 4 General] Spl4tt:
Just because it has custom ROMs on the latest Android version doesn't mean you're not late :)

I mean, it doesn't even have 4g, it's only 16gb and the battery's gotta be really weak now.

But ofc. the Nexus 4 was a damn nice device, I loved it. So really, enjoy!
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
It's better than a 4s for sure, I've used one recently that I bought to fix and resell and it was the laggiest thing ever. I still have my Nexus 4 that won't read a sim card anymore but it's still relatively fast depending on what you're doing with it.
[Nexus 4 General] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
I'm going to put a nougat rom on it
[Nexus 4 General] 350Rocket:
Mine has a mm custom ROM on it but I haven't used it much at all since flashing that, and I can't remember where I left the phone. It did seem really fast last time I used it though.

Nexus 4

The best phone I've ever had. An amazing value at the time!

A finishing of the most careful, premium... Backside and formfactor is so cool! I immediate have a crush to the announcement of the Nexus 4. I use it every day for almost 3 years.

I always have protective plastics on it, it's like new! The battery gradually begins to bend slightly but still have a small day (in low use) but personally, I am not yet embarrassed on a daily basis for me to make an immediate change.

No new phones have ever again seduced me ever since. (Aside from the Huawei serie that I find very successful & some Meizu)

Today flashed on Android 7.1 (CyanogenMod 14.1 nightly with Pixel Launcher ), it turns perfectly and has not taken a wrinkle! :D

[Nexus 4 General] Rymek0:
Nexus 4 currently is the best phone for it's price tag(a bit under 100$ for new or less) i have capabilities to run any game for GP i had and still have probably The Best community support and modding community.

But there are some downsides like lack of OTG support (i know there were many threads how to solve it but i could not make this work ever) and battery drain on hearthstone like games is huge pain in the ass.
[Nexus 4 General] hauckk@sfreserves.org:
It can be bought used on ebay for 40$ with no cracked screen fully functional with free shipping
[Nexus 4 General] Axel85:
Yes for sure,even now is a great value phone... For 40€ you can get a sanpdragon s4 and 2 GB of ram. This hardware can run no problem marshmallow and maybe Nougat (not tried). My girlfriend use it on pure nexus marshmallow as a daily driver and it's still working from 2012 when i bought it used for 300€. The only problem with this phone is battery consumption with any intensive app ,apart from this is working better than a Moto g4 with 2gb of ram , so no need to replace it for now. Maybe I should try to replace the battery because with a new one I should get better life than a 5 years old
[Nexus 4 General] dragos281993:
Just so you know, the difference between my old N4 and this new N5X is not that huge. It's actually smaller than you think. Yes, the hardware is newer but the performance is not that impressive, at least from my point of view. The CPU is more power efficient, of course, and that makes a difference when you want to keep the UX as smooth as possible without losing too much on the battery side. But I had to tweak the kernel a bit too be able to have a bit more performance than on Mako. Yes, you heard it right. For instance, with Franco kernel, the phone performed pathetically slow, no matter what tweaks I tried. FK's definitely aimed at getting more battery life out of the phonet, and despite that I still got the almost similar numbers with Phasma or ElementalX which provide decent performance. That's what I experienced though. Some might have different results. With FK, playing Boom Beach, the performance was worse than on my Mako. With the other 2, the stutter is reduced significantly. But in the most graphical intensive moments, the GPU still can barely handle it, and there's a very small difference when it comes to the frequency of experiencing those stutters compared to my old mako.

So bottom line, at least from my point of view, if you want to move up from your Mako and have something that's noticeably faster, then you gotta pay some money. A N6P is definitely a good choice for those eager to leave their makos behind. Those overpriced Pixels are also a good choice. Yes the price is high, but the 2 Pixel phones are > buttery smooth <, like really noticeably/visibly/substantially smoother than the older phones, especially the N4. Spezi confirmed that.

So if you're not willing to pay a decent amount of money for a new device and you're still ok with your mako, I say you stay with it for a while, and start putting some cash aside. When you got the right amount of money, go for the new generation of Pixels, or the current one, which will definitely be a bit cheaper when the new lineup pops up.
[Nexus 4 General] tokuzumi:
I was not impressed with the Nexus 5X. It stuttered doing basic things. I had the phone for maybe 3-4 months before selling it. With all the bootloop/brick issues (and the possibility of adding it to the class action lawsuit), I'm glad I didn't stick with the 5X.
