can somebody tell me why the #nexus4 is that much cheap ($350 ). to recall, the #galaxys3 cost is #700+. do you think #nexus4 is better than #S3 in all aspects?
dont tell me that wait for reviews...it will be fun to discuss before release....
what I am thinking is the samsung hardware better than lg.
From what I've read from different articles it's supposed to be a budget smartphone thus the price tag. Who knows what the real reason might be.
I'd say they did it to further compete against apple and their rip off prices. Really that is how I see it. Discuss

The Galaxy Nexus has been just as cheap, and the Nexus 7 is also much cheaper than most other comparable tablets.
Google makes most of their money off advertising. They want more people using their product, they're not looking to make all their money via device sales.

Samsung gets money off their devices, Google gets money off their advertise and Google play services. This is also a reason why Nexus 7 was so cheap
Swyped on my Galaxy Nexus running AOKP with Franco Kernel
I think google don't try to make much money from the hardware, but the nexus 7 and nexus 4 at those prices serve to get people into the google ecosystem, which is where the money is for them; advertising, collecting data, etc
It's an Android reference device. The point is to get stock Android out on modern hardware for development and hobbyist users. The low price is probably to increase the adoption rate amongst devs. If they get the price low enough (this is probably the sweet spot) it's worth buying even if it's not their daily use phone.
Google is reinventing the smart phone market. They price their products at an extremely affordable price. With it being brand new, completely awesome and it destroys the iphone. Who wouldn't buy?

Seriously what's with all the LG hate? Have you used the Optimus G? It is amazing and if the Nexus 4 is anything like it I will be VERY happy.
As for why the Nexus 4 is so cheap, Google is trying to create a brand, and what's the best way to build a loyal fan base then to offer an amazing device for an amazing price. They want to reach out to as many people as possible which is why they offer an 8GB model of the phone. Someone will buy one, show it off to their friend and then THEY will want one. It's a great strategy and I can see it working for them in the long run.

I love this phone already and don't even have it in my hands yet. Google=Genius for putting this monster piece of tech out on the market at such an affordable price point. They are essentially subsidizing the price so that they can build their ecosystem. Mad props to Google on making what looks to the be the best phone on the market and mad props to LG for the hardware. After my G2X, I told myself I'd never go LG again, but with Google handling the OS, it is safe to assume it will be nothing but buttery goodness.

That's just not true. Read some of the previous posts, as Oxirane wrote "Google makes most of their money off advertising. They want more people using their product, they're not looking to make all their money via device sales.". The price has got nothing to do with the popularity of the manufacturer...
Samsung galaxy nexus was 700 went it 1st come out. Nexus 4 starting price is no where near that. There r both Google.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The price you're paying for the Nexus 4 off of the Play store is Google selling the device at cost. Real world retail price would be much closer to the $599 that T-Mobile is charging for it when you factor in their subsidizing after the $199 up front.
They didn't skimp on features or hardware, this is just so they get as many people as possible on Android devices to spread out the advertising and get more people excited for development.

That $700 price you're referring to wasn't Google's. It was the price charged by retailers for an imported device. It was a lot cheaper when released in the US in the Play store.

I expected that the iPhone 5 would sell extremely well, but after the law suit I don't think they'll sell as well as they would have if the law suit didn't happen. My prediction is that they'll sell a lot at first but will not do as well as the 4S has.

Well for the first time ever, I won't be getting Apple's latest iPhone. Simply can't see knowing Apple's past minor upgrades that iPhone 5 will beat my galaxy s3.
It's because iPhone 5 is about to be released.
When iPhone 5 gets released, it'll probably sell more in its first weekend than SGS3 did all the time since its release.

I don't know what you're smoking, but I want one too.
Samsung may outsell Apple, because they are selling very low quality cheap Android phones too. These phones naturally sell more than Apple phones, since Apple only makes premium phones.
On the premium market however, nothing outsells iPhone. Just get out of your house once, sunlight won't hurt you I promise. Look at the phones in people's hands. How many iPhones do you see, and how many SGS2's and SGS3's do you see?

You're probably from America, in Austria you see already more s3 than iphones (without counting s2 or other high-end android devices from other vendors).
Edit: small addition about premium. It's pretty easy to call it premium while it's the only ios device and there are no lower or higher spec devices to directly compare with.
But most of the time when you compare it spec wise to an android device released at almost the same time it (the iphone) settles more at mid to lower high-end range device than premium.

One thing I've noticed is people don't make such a big deal out of having an iPhone anymore, or what I like to call the iPhone dance... Where they take the iPhone out their pocket in a crowd and make sure everyone sees that they have one.
So it looks like the shine's been wearing off the Apple lately.

Okay, I know it isn't the smartest thing to do but I'm confused. I was planning on buying the next Nexus until Google decided to throw it away by letting LG manufacture it, and no way in hell am I going to buy a LG phone. Still hoping that the multiple OEM news that was around a month or so ago is true. But, just in case it isn't, should I buy a Galaxy Nexus? Will it hold good for another year and a half? In terms of gaming how will it do? State your reasons to buy it and to let it go. Help my brothers, in my hour of need!

I understand LG doesn't have the greatest rep in terms of software/firmware, but I just don't understand the bashing about the LG Nexus. LG won't be even touching the firmware....and honestly, the hardware looks pretty damn amazing to me!! It may not be the absolute most bleeding edge technology inside, but it's perfect for what I use my Nexus for. I don't need a quad core yet at this point.
I'm due for an upgrade next Oct 5, and if I can find a rep who's easy to manipulate I'm gonna try and get an early upgrade to an LG Nexus in the spring after the price drops a little. I'm not a fanboy of any one manufacturer.

Gaming isnt the only feature I want, but yeah its important. And I want a tablet :/
Everything we have heard about the optimus g line so far says it has good build quality.
As others have stated if you want gaming get a 7. The gnex GPU is not the greatest. Scratch that, it sucks. Same as this phone but higher clocked and has to push a 720p display.
People just love to hate lg. Its going to be fun when that phone finally comes out. By far the best nexus phone to come out but all the nooo omg its made by lg so I'll pass.
Can see it now lots of complaints about backlight bleeding.
Always some sort of hardware issue with their phones.

Of course there will be reports of backlight bleeding. Just like there is for every other LCD based device out there. Including TV, monitors, phones, tablets and so on.
To imply some of the devices will have a backlight bleed because its a lg device and they always have issues is silly.

It is like saying a F1 car will beat a Hyundai, performance wise. But since it is LG building the F1 car, it will be build from macaroni. I really hope Google know what they are doing by letting LG do this.
People just to love to hate LG for some reason. The reviews seem to point to the Optimus G having good built quality and doesn't creek like Samsung phones. Give me a break, try dropping an S3 and see how you like Samsung built quality. If the rumor is true about the S4 quadcore its the current fastest cpu in the market. Guess who make most of the IPS panel for phones, including the HTC One X, and a percentage of the iPhone 5 and MacbookPro retina display?
I still think the Galaxy Nexus is a great phone though and has benefit of removable battery. I likely won't get the LG Nexus, but if and when the price dropped to the current Galaxy Nexus price it will become more compelling.

Oh I'll be getting the GNex once the LG Nexus. Is released, just because I'm almost certain that it's going to be cheaper by then. I also bought my Nexus S when GNex came out and I still got my money's worth in terms of updates. Bottom line is, as long as it's a Nexus phone, you can't go wrong. I don't think Google will let an OEM release a crappy Nexus phone. That would be the same as Steve Jobs releasing an iPhone with a crappy app (like Apple Maps).

Actually, I wouldn't buy a Sony Nexus, my friend used to have a Xperia Arc S till last month, when he'd bought it it was all nice and flashy, but in almost 2 months, the colour of the buttons and rim wore off even though he had a cover on it all the time, and he dropped the phine from a height of around 4 feet, and the plastic cracked.
After reading the LG Optimus G I'm considering buying the LG Nexus. Just waiting for the phone to launch and a few reviews and well, a little finance But if Samsung or HTC were to make their own Nexus phones, I'd gladly buy ine of those.

You forgot a Note 2 feature: "No where near the community support and enthusiast development." We are all CM/AOKP fanboys.
Now leave.
I want to trade my nexus
I have a Nexus 4 16GB that i want to trade for Note 2 .
im from the uk. been trying to swap for a couple of days now. gone back to my S3 so i don't scratch it etc..
I know some people are not gonna be happy with this decision but there are some useful additional options to the Note 2 which will help me day to day.
Love the Nexus 4 and gonna be sad to see it go =( . I love the feel, screen, speed, and frustration free vanilla android 4.2.1.

So let me get this straight. Your all a bunch of jerks who want nobody to enter into your "community" because your all superior because you have a stock android experience? Telling people to get out of your thread isn't necessarily the best thing to do.

I had a Note 2 for a month, and why did I return it because of the screen. AMOLED is nice for blacks and such but having had a One X as my primary phone I'm just in love with IPS display. Much sharper overall, crisp text, natural colours, the N4 screen is on par with the One X. But I think the One X screen edges the N4 slightly. But would be happy with either.
I'm quite liking the N4, using stock Android is different to using a skinned version.
Both are good phones regardless, go for whatever your needs are.
Trade? Yes, add cash? No.
I can easily buy another n4, but am unwilling to shell out $650 for a note 2

I was contemplating getting a Note 2 instead of the Nexus but experiencing slow updates from HTC I wanted the insurance Nexus phones had on future software updates

1. No selling our trading outside the marketplace. No one would trade his N4 + $$ for a Note 2.
2. A very small percentage of users on the Nexus 4 subforum stick with stock.
3. There are many threads already comparing the Note 2 and the N4. In fact, there's a ton of threads criticizing the N4 and comparing it to pretty much every flagship phone out.
4. You haven't been gentlemanly and if you showed some manners, you'd get a more genial response. Remember that you came into our forum. Everyone here clearly is sticking with their N4.
I sold my old gnex to buy the new nexus 4 but when the nexus 4 came out I couldn't buy it and spent my money on something else. I have the money now but more high-end phones are coming out. Should I wait or the nexus 4 will be good for this year?

If you wait, you will wait forever. Technology gets better by the day. Quite literally. For me, it's simple. I wouldn't buy anything else except for a Nexus device (or something similar). I bought the Nexus S, used it for two years, and now I bought the Nexus 4. I could wait another year for the next Nexus (or maybe the X phone from Motorola), but I'm not gonna. The Nexus 4 is very, VERY cheap for what it can. Heck, the Galaxy Nexus costs the same. And you pay twice as much for the iPhone 5. You could argue that the iPhone 5 is better (I don't think that, but it's not unreasonable if you do), but still... it's not nearly worth twice as much. The same goes for other phones that are 1.5x or 2x as expensive as the N4.
If I had the Gnex, I wouldn't have bought the N4. But since you already did; go for the N4.

You're right. That's what I wanted to hear, some motivation. Thanks and I agree with you that the iPhone is not better than the N4 considering factors that you mentioned above.

It's sad to see posts just like this when people purposely post a new thread just so they feel better about themselves and their purchase. It's like walking in a apple store asking, should I buy a iphone 5? All you're going to get are biased posts.
It's your money, spend it how you like based on your own conclusions and not others

Haha that's funny, same here man. There's always like three posts like this each day. It's a phone, the longer you wait, the better there'll be. In the end, Nexus devices have a longer life span.
Have fun buying that galaxy s3 running 4.1 still and getting the update six months later. Waiting for someone to say oh flash a rom, let's assume flashing wasn't possible. You get my drift.

You're right. It has a name. The opposite of buyer's remorse.
But that doesn't mean that we can't name some good reason to buy the Nexus 4. The price, for example, is a very good reason. In the end, he probably already made a decision.

There's a thousand posts hi-liting the GOOD and BAD features of this phone already. The search function is a very useful tool.

It does have a name, it's called google search and he should use it. There are already a bunch of threads related to this topic and he should use it. I could make this same exact post on the s3 forums and link it here to show you that the posts we make are biased towards Nexus 4.
I'm not here to beg someone to get the phone. If they want the phone then get it, not because we as user's told him to because we want more people to have a n4

If I had the choice to buy it again I wouldn't.
Why, because I already bought one of course...

Buy it if you want. It doesn't really matter, all the posts here are going to be biased. If you posted on the HTC one forum, they'll tell you to get that phone over n4 blah blah blah.
Do what makes you happy and conclude on your own thoughts. Not to satisfy other people.

When the Nexus 4 first launched... it was pretty obvious there wouldn't be another Nexus phone for a good while. Now, there's talk of the Nexus 5, and we have no idea what'll be announced at I/O, and there's talk of something else being released around October/November this year.
If you have patience, I'd wait to see what'll be announced at I/O. I doubt a new phone will be announced, but who knows. If you have even greater patience, you could wait until Oct/Nov. If you believe you can resell the device close to what you bought it for, buy the N4 now, and then decide on if you want to resell it if a new Nexus phone is announced at either points in time.
I have no patience, but believe I can resell my N4 if need-be. I don't think a phone will be announced at I/O, so I bought a N4 yesterday
I remember buying my 8GB Nexus 7, and a few weeks later, it got discontinued, with the 16GB taking its place for the same price. Was really disappointed, but still kept my N7 and enjoyed it.
As far as I concerned, if it ain't a Nexus device it ain't worth buying unless the manufacturers wake up and start offering some vanilla goodness along with their proprietary crap!

Get while it's still the hottest bad boy device around!
at least wait until 5/15 for google io. Pretty strong rumors it will at least come with a minor update for LTE and storage upgrade. Maybe even N5 will be released. Buying an android 6months after release for the same price is usually a bad idea.
Yeah I'm glad I got the nexus 4. It meets my needs and it's got pure android which I love

Am I the only one frustrated with Google's incompetence with flagship product launches, like the N4. How do you launch a flagship product with only one accessory (the bumper), which ends up being out of stock longer than not?
It's also been months since the N4 was released, and yet the accessory choices are still majorly lacking.
They really need to take a page out of Apple's launch strategy.

There is actually a dock. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/01/16/nexus-7-dock-now-available-through-select-retailers/ Not sold through Play Store but retail stores. It's a official accessory.
@OP: You are aware that it isn't only LG/Google who is supposed to supply the accessories right? What about the other major accessories companies such as Case-Mate, Otterbox? They have to step it up too.
thanks, i kept checking b&h photo. gonna order one now lol
smirkis said:
thanks captain... but it's far from on sale, the date keeps getting pushed back and should be on sale tomorrow. but again, how long has the nexus7 been out for? it's just an example. official products are great, but nothing to get worked up about for not being available.

It's still out there regardless. Doesn't matter on it's availability, if it's out there, it's out there.
I agree. I'm referring to accessories in general, not just first-party ones.
At launch or very soon after the launch of a new Apple product, accessory choices are abundant.
And why should I get over it? The Nexus 7 should also have more options, especially due to its success. Why should you have to scour the internet searching for ONE accessory in existence, instead of having *many* available at a local store?
I really envy this about Apple products. They get all the quality and choice in accessories.

Perhaps that is due to there being only 1 choice in phone if you want iOS. There are about a million different android phones out. It's an easy decision for an accessory company as to which one to spend money to develop.

If the nexus 4 were to have a launch accross the world/carriers like the iPhone and market it just as big... accessories will be plenty. Google is still building the Nexus brand. This might not happen for the N4 but future nexus devices will surely have more attention, accessories, and support.
Also, you have to consider that there werent enough N4 to go around to consumers who watch the Play Store like hawks, let alone companies who have other phone accessories to worry about.
The OP's ignorance is astounding.

This is true. See the Galaxy S3. Accessories galore.

third party companies aren't going to invest money into accessories for a phone that many people do not own. I don't even think there's a million units of Nexus 4s sold yet. It sucks but that's just kind of how it is.
Did u buy the phone for the accessories or did u buy it for the phone? If u bought it for accessories, then u should've bought something else..
