The thing just looks awesome!
The only drawback I would say is that the memory is limited, 8/16 GB only.
It is also mega cheap!!
Probably my next phone, as it will get updates directly from google.

No LTE, no SD card.
Honestly I'd rather get the Optimus G (AT&T) which is like the Nexus 4 but with Micro SD and LTE.

Same phone, not by LG, with 4'' screen and micro SD card reader, yes.
But it is cheap, not like S3 which is too expensive. Maybe the beginning of real prices...

SGS3 is $200 on-contract from AT&T so for me the Nexus 4 AKA crippled SGS3 is definitely out.

I don't see how the N4 is a "crippled SGS3" when it pretty much blows it out of the water in every category except maybe LTE radios if it applies to your area. I need to hold on to my Atrix for the next year or so, but I'm definitely jumping on the next Nexus regardless of how much it costs.
Obviously choose this over the Optimus G. AOSP + fast updates, anyone?

Quad core is "every category"?
LTE is a very big deal. No sdcard and I prefer AMOLED.
Well thats an amazing upgrade after the Nexus and more Nrxus devices are still to come .. we can still upgrade from the older Nexus coz its Quadcore now wid android 4.2 out of the box!

a guy is offering me a galaxy nexus GSM plus a Nexus 7 8GB a microsim adapter and 40 dollars for my Tmobile galaxy s3 32GB . What are your thoughts on this should i do it? I dont have a tablet and i like the stock google but the new galaxy nexus is coming out soon. What do you guys think? Can i resell for more i bought the s3 for 470
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I doubt you will be able to resell those and get your $470. I would hold onto the s3, and just buy a new nexus, or a n7 if u want one. The s3 32gb is too sweet.

New Gsm nexus is 350$ from google and a new 8gb N7 is 200$ do the math if you looking to resell you probably wont get your money's worth. I wouldnt do the trade and just wait on the next nexus and sell your GS3 then.
I wouldn't trade nexus phone even the new one won't be as nice as the s3. The s3 spec are way better IMHO

Yeah but hes offering the galaxy nexus and the nexus 7 not just the galaxy nexus ans hes adding 40bucks
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
go for it, 2 > 1 , u will end up using the phone less anyway so the slight downgrade in specs wont matter much. just know u will have less storage space. and a galaxy nexus sells for about 250 a n7 200 that 450 + 40 u will come out ahead
Lol so the other guy backed of someone just offered me a nexus 7 16gb and a gsm nexus. Definetly taking that deal plus hes adding 40 too

So the GS3 specs are better than a completely unknown, unannounced device? There's logic for you.
i know the nexus 7 only came out in june but do you think its to late to buy one because im thinking of grabing one tomorrow or should i wait till the next one comes out :/ ? any input would be appriciated
I would get one now, after all it hasn't been out for long. I would buy one now and enjoy what there is to offer at the present, if you keep waiting for the next piece of hardware you'll never enjoy and appreciate the current technology, and you can always sell it when the "next Nexus 7" is released.

The N7 is an excellent 7" tablet IMO. I'm extremely happy with it, and so is my gf's son who got one for his birthday.

The only question to ask is Do you get 32gb or the 16gb.. Or WiFi or 3g if available where you are.
Sent from my LT15i using xda premium
I went 16GB wifi because I have a 32 GB phone if I need it. However, Gamestop had a $50 off deal and there was only one 16GB available. Might need to go 32 regardless. Good buy though, I just got mine a couple days ago. I don't need a huge tablet, I wanted more of a reader and this blows the Kindle away.

You most definitely won't be sorry. I think if anything you were smart to wait since the 32gb was release and the 16 gb was dropped to $199.99.
A new nexus tablet probably won't come out at least for another 7 months anyway. Just enjoy the hell out of it.

I think you should go for a Wifi version if you already have a phone.
Since the next-gen Nexus is no way to come out soon, and new version changes nothing in performance but has 3g and more storage capacity, and the price of nexus 7 16gb wifi dropped. I think Nexus 7 16gb is the optimized choice atm.

Wont Believe what happened paid for a 16gb version and they gave my a 32GB one so happy only cost me $244 (In Australia)
I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
I like my EVO LTE. Never played with any of the LG Android phones, so I can't really make a fair comparison. The One is a great choice in my opinion, too. The main drawback for some users will be the lack of expandable memory (SD card). There is still plenty of development with the EVO LTE, too. Just recently (within the last month or so) devs got a Sense 5 port from the One working on the LTE. There are several custom kernels that have been released, and a few of the devs who moved up to the One still have their LTE and have stated they will continue to dev for it

Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Just jumped on the OG Evo forums for the first time in over a year. I went from the OG Evo to the Evo 3D when it launched, and then preordered the Evo LTE. The LTE is a great phone and there is plenty of development for it. As much as I love HTC, I'm probably gonna pass on the One. Really wish Sprint would offer the 64GB version, but even then I don't know. I've told myself my next phone WILL have at least a 5" display. The Note 2 felt too big, surprisingly. But I really wish Sprint offered a version of the J Butterfly, like Verizon did with the Droid DNA. Not knocking the One by any means, I still may pick it up, as I usually get a new phone every year. Also, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Evo LTE! That said though, with the One being released, I don't know if I'd choose the Evo LTE over the One. The main downfall of the One, in my opinion, is the lack of sd card slot. Especially since Sprint isn't going to offer the 64GB version! That's a big mistake for Sprint in my opinion!! I'd take an sd card slot over a sim slot any day, as I have no use for a sim slot! Really bro, you just need to go on a store and play with the One and the Evo LTE so you can really see sock one fits you best. Do keep in mind though that if you're with Sprint, or staying with Sprint anyway, 32GB is All the storage you'll have with NO ability for expandable storage!! That's the real deal breaker for me anyway! Either way, good luck with your decision! ALMOST any new smartphone(except Apple obviously! Lol!) will be an upgrade to your OG Evo!!

Dude the S4 is so crippled and packed with 7GB of OS and mostly bloatware that you have too root it and strip down all the not needed apps and widgets.
