Make me recall any phone that had revisions changed after launch? You may be right, but i can't recall any. Hence a source would be useful here.

And regardless of amount, even if a customer pays $ 100 only, he must get what another customer is getting for the same phone in same price.

At least I can't settle for a phone which I happen to know is inferior, considering the model is same, the phone is same, the specs r same and the price is same. If you cant settle for such a device, good for u. Not everyone is you.
[Nexus 4 General] io53:
Ehm. That is not true, not even the slightest. May I ask how old you are?
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
^^And would u mind telling, why on earth you would feel good in having same phone with lesser parts or functionalities?
[Nexus 4 General] diablos991:
Because you knew what you were spending the money on and you spent it.

Your argument is comparable to that of console price drops. I paid $600 for my PS3, but now I see people getting 4 times the storage, less power consumption and updated hardware for $250. I'm not upset in the least.

But I guess that's because I understand how manufacturing businesses work in the consumer electronics field.

The earlier poster is 100% accurate regarding the hardware revisions. This is common place due to obsolescence as well. A part may be procurable at the design and initial production stage, then your source could stop supplying at mass production. This would cause your LRIP (low rate initial production) phones to have different hardware than your mass production devices.

Rev_10 are, in essence, LRIP phones.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
As I said - pretty much every gadget out there. Just this information is usually not public and rarely anyone states it so openly as LG did. And not every change in production or parts is even marked with new revision.

Now for devices I followed: for example, the first revision of htc nexus one had a common problem with screen assembly (dust under the screen). HTC eventually fixed production, old devices were not replaced unless you actually got dust and sent it to repair.

Then there were diverse revisions of 99HKE002-00 F (and several different letter suffixes) and later 99HKE002-01 XH. No one got their phones replaced because of that.

Or for example a take Lumia 800 which is available at least in hardware revisions 112.1402.2.3 and 112.1402.2.4 which were quite different.

Or there is another even more glaring example: ipad2 was converted from ipad2,1 45nm SoC to ipad 2,4 32nm SoC bringing like 20-30% better battery life which is pretty significant. For some time you could buy any of them, it was just a pure question of luck. There was no way to tell which one is which without opening the box and installing some software.

No one got their ipads replaced because of this, even if they bought it after rev 2,4 was already available and they paid the same money.

And let us not even start about the cars which do get even more updates.

You know, and it gets even worse: later buyers not only get newer hardware, but they will probably play even less than early adopters! :)

Which is perfectly fine. Everyone has a right to be upset about anything, no matter how unreasonable it is. What you demand is absolutely unrealistic.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Name me a phone that doesn't have a revision after launch? Seriously, every phone does unless it has a life cycle shorter than a few months. Production processes change and improve, component have slight updates, etc. It isn't always about "fixing" issues. There's a reason products go down in price. Production is improved by making changes to components to improve the process.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just reached the millionth device!

(of course just judging by serial number, i.e. minus gaps)

How to check thw version? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] julioromano:
If I may add something:

ipad2,1 or ipad2,4 are not HW Revisions, they are model identifiers.

Apple is famous for its secrecy, it helps build the magical hype that surrounds its products, so they're very good at not disclosing information such as different HW revisions. But if you disassemble a couple of ipad2,1 you'll mostly find different PCBs and/or different chips on them (even the LCD panel manufacturer varies).

With the iPad 2 Apple went even further and at some point in time it introduced a totally different model (with a new model identifier: iPad2,4) and marketed it under the same iPad2 name.

I think the rationale behind this is: If you advertise your product by its features (i.e. not by the chips you put inside it), you may sell two units which are identical on the outside but different inside and it's perfectly fine as long as they offer the user the same advertised features.

You'll probably never see a regular device or smartphone displaying its HW Rev anywhere.

Nexus devices are developer oriented, so they have a special bootloader that displays the HW rev.

Moreover, it's not always true that HW Rev 2 is always Better than HW Rev 1.

A hardware revision bump could be just to accommodate changes related to some part's supply constraints. It doesn't necessarily imply that some bug has been fixed (yeah of course, in the case of the nexus4 this happened and we even have documented evidence about).

In fact I suspect that if you are having troubles with wireless charging a rev10 Nexus4, then Google will accept an RMA.

IMHO very few people uses wireless chargers (yet) so rev10 phones will be fine for most of the users.

[Nexus 4 General] Salub:
I just got my replacement 16GB Friday, 301K with my IMEI in the 500,000s. Does this mean that LG is churning out over 500k in the space a month? Looks like they've finally picked up the pace. And to echo others, my 301 doesn't have any light bleed or camera clicking, which couldn't be said for my original 211k.
[Nexus 4 General] klvnhng:
Yeah, 301k seems to be of much higher build quality overall. Other users report the same.

[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
How does 301K units have better build quality when the Hw_Rev is same, i.e.: 11?
[Nexus 4 General] klvnhng:
Not sure, but it does seem that 301k users haven't had as many of the common issues (light bleeding, earpiece crackling, etc) that users of earlier-made devices have had.

Or maybe, LG only updates the hw_rev if there is a substantially new or different hw change.

Or it's just a fluke :P
