Hi all,
Just a quick question, I'm from Singapore and I'm thinking of replacing my nexus one with another phone...
Should I wait for a dual core phone like LG star or just get a galaxy tab now, since nexus s is such a let down...
Any kind advice?
Well the Galaxy Tab isn't a phone; for most people I think that it would fill a different role in their digital lifestyle than their phone does. I'm also considering getting a Galaxy Tab because I would like a medium sized tablet(stream being considered small and 10 inchers being large).
I think if you are OK with your Nexus One then wait for a dual core like the LG or upcoming Motorola. I personally think there are no other phones currently on the market that will feel new and amazing coming from a Nexus One.
Personally I'm getting a G2.
Reasons:
1.Superior hardware
2.I'm an HTC fanboy
3.Here in Atlanta GA you can find them for about $325 next to new on craigslist.
4.I can sell my N1 for roughly $325 or more so there is no out of pocket
expense for me.

Yup... that's what I'm planning too(stay on with my nexus one). The Thing is whether will LG or Motorola launch the dual core phones in Singapore. Motorola still haven't launch the Droid 2 in Singapore yet...

Don't really like the keyboard for G2 (aka desire)
I'm planning to buy a good smartphone...but I'm in a predicament..
i live in India and according to the review ,the nexus 4 is pretty good phone but the problem is you guessed it's god damn India... Google and LG are taking their own sweet time to bring it to India. Rumors are that it may be released in Jan at mind boggling 32 or even exorbitant 36k ..so my question which is the best available alternative to nexus 4?
Is one x a good alternative?
or is nexus 4 worth the wait for Indian shores(Bangalore customers)
or any good alternative within the range of 28-29k ( in India)?
thank you
For ease, 5k rupees is about 100 bucks approximately. I think best solution might be to have someone you might know in the us bring it over.

Depends on your priorities.
If having a high end android that performs most tasks well is all you care about then go for an s3 or one x.
If having a nexus device, with its updates and ROM development is important then get the n4.
The best option is getting someone to bring it from the US or other countries. The price difference is worth the lack of warranty in my opinion.

My opinion
I am also in the same situation
Lg can become a top player in Indian Market if it set the prices of Nexus 4 16 GB between 24k to 27 K and 8 Gb for 22k to 24k
I would say if it is going to launch above 28K for 16 GB model then i am not buying it as i will be stuck with 16 GB .
I would have bought it for 30 K also had it supported USB OTG .
So i would request Lg to price the phone intelligently as it will help them in the long run.
Lg Nexus 4 is worth the wait only if it is priced correctly
Hey everyone,
I'm considering to buy a new Phone. My current phone is the HTC Desire, which I use for about 2.5 years now.
Would your recommend buying a Nexus 4 now or is it worth waiting for the X-Phone or the next Nexus device? Some sources claim, that we will see those devices around June, after Google's developer conference. I definitely want a pure Google device.
The thing that is holding me back is that it we are about to allot new gen devices in the near future, with the new iteration of specs. (1080p display, Snapdragon 600 and 800...) So it seems to be a good idea to wait another 3 months or so...
What do you think?
Newer technology is always around the corner, you will wait forever if you always wait for the Next Big Thing. How easy will it be to get one of these as-yet-unreleased phones, and how much will they cost?
The N4 is available right now, at a bargain price, and will be a big step up from your Desire ...

After Upgrading from a HTC Desire Z, my only regret is that i didn't buy it sooner.
I got mine from T-Mobile free after 50 dollar Mir.

I think that all of those devices will be non nexus, bloated, at the mercy of the Manufacturer devices. And for what? More processing power to view your email? The screens may be nice tho. I don't see why you'd need 1080p on a less then 5in screen tho...
After owning this phone three weeks. I can't see going back to a carrier bloated samsung, HTC, or moto phone.
Look at the galaxy nexus, last year's hardware and it's still one of the smoothest and fastest phones because of pure android. The nexus 4 will hold its value too, it's only 349, don't buy the 8gb. You can always sell on ebay if you don't like it and come out even right now and I have a feeling n4 will keep selling on ebay for close to what you pay from Google. The only issues I have with the n4 is the camera is just not as good in poor lighting as my s3 was, other than that it's great. It's the best deal in Tech. Compared to the desire it's going to be ridiculous.

The right time is now OP. As others have said there is ALWAYS a newer phone with more impressive specs around the corner. With that mindset you will be waiting forever. I realize you dont want to buy the nexus 4 now and a few weeks later the next nexus device is announced. eh "such is life" OP
I'm pretty happy with mine. I'm coming from a Bionic.
I still probably will consider the x phone but this is certainly a solid enough device that I won't feel the need to jump ship the day it is released.

I just got mine on Tuesday (ordered Saturday) to replace my Galaxy Nexus - best decision I've made as the higher DPI alone makes it better IMO
OK, 1080p screens are nice and that but I don't need it as I don't watch films/play games on my phone
Sv: Right time to buy a Nexus 4 or wait?
It's the right time, upgraded from a nexus one. So i recommend nexus 4. A real catch in my eyes. ^^,

Is the S4 on a plan? Nexus 4 comes without a plan if your paying that much.

Yes on a 50 a month, the device itself costs about $580 plus tax and shipping about $610, anyways the nexus 4 I will have to pay 50 a month to use it too, so nexus is $299 + $10 shipping and about $23 tax is about $342 vs $610 of the S4

Hi, $300 difference is pretty big The Nexus 4 has A S4 Pro CPU and S4, 600 Snapdragon, so added to to that you a paying 300 more for a Bigger screen, 1080p AMOLED, 13 MP camera and faster Processor also faster LTE and HSPA+
I have both phones I would not worry about specs. The N4 out performs s4 any day of the week. It also looks premium and much nicer. However it has no SD card, crappy battery life compared to s4 and even a crappier camera plus no LTE which are some major negatives. If you don't care about those things then N4 is better.
It's up to you to get the phone, Think about it, You are going to have a phone for a long time so better if you get the best instead of getting stuck with what the nexus 4 can only offer. I do have the S4 and If you have the money go for it in The long run the 300 dollars are 100% worth it. Trust me

Thanks Guys I just bought the S4!
Here is a good breakdown on the differences: http://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-S4,Google-Nexus-4/phones/7597,7531
For me it came down to extras not justifying the expense. For others it may be worth it. Main differences IMHO are 13MP vs 8MP camera, 5" Supset AMOLED vs 4.7" IPS LCD display, microSD card slot and branded vs unbranded android.

if you like waiting forever for updates then get the s4. if u like to be on the latest and greatest version of android then get the n4. :highfive:
If I remember correctly, the gs4 may be released on the play store with stock android soon.
That said, I have an n4 on t-mobile with lte enabled & I just recently bought my mom a gs4 on Verizon. They are both very nice phones. I prefer the n4 but the gs4 is impressive as well.
I don't think you can go wrong with either phone except that a branded gs4 will inevitably suffer in the update department.
If possible, I would recommend stopping by a T-Mobile store where you should be able to play around with both phones to see if either stands out to you.
Good luck!

I wouldn't recommend the GS4 to anyone - it's a complete lagfest.
The N4, even though 6 months older still remains the fastest and smoothest phone out there.
For the price of a GS4 you could buy the Nexus 4 right now and even the Nexus 5 in Oct/Nov if Google keep their prices the same.

Snapdragon S4p and S600 are identical GPU wise and are not very far when the N4 is on an appropriate ROM with optimizations. In the benchmark thread here people score 23K+ in antutu. Anyway I would not spend over $200 more for just a alight spec bump when the nexus is a better value.

That's true. But the way I look at it is a bit different. The price difference is 300$; which is another nexus. Assuming the nexus 5 is going to be priced at $300. I will have a n4 and a n5 for roughly the same price as one s4. Regardless, you cannot go wrong with either choice. Both are great phones
Seriously who would even consider buying a Samsung device over a N4.
Even with those better specs, they mean nothing. Who cares over a 1080p screen, 13mp, and whatnot. The difference is marginal and for most not even noticable.
So save your money, buy an N4. And stop getting excited over the latest specs, because they're marginal improvements anyway.
Might as well be a fanboy and go and buy a new Apple/Samsung phone each year then and be a dipstick and waste 700 euro on phone's that are produced for less then 100 euro, just because it has something "new and ""great"" that the N4 doesn't have.
Bought my N4 last months, it has specs that will last another 2-3 years for most.
You should probably wait because there is going to be an s4 with the snapdragon 800 SoC.
Since my Xperia ZR got broke a while ago. I don't have any enough money to buy a good brand new smartphone. There's a shop at my place where G2s are being sold (F320 model). And that's the best one I can afford (costs around $80). Is it still worth buying G2? I don't play games on a phone. I'll only use it to check emails, listen to music, and for social media purposes. This is the best one I can afford right now and that prices of smartphones here in my country (Philippines) are inflated. All your opinions are much appreciated. Thanks you.
In my opinion it's still a great phone to have, I still have one as my daily driver (D802) and it works like a charm, even for today's standards
I would go for it
f320. Great phone. Also you can buy a second battery.
I love it.

I think yes. I own it from 6 months, used phone
I have used these phones in chronology

Xperia SP
Redmi 1S
Redmi 2
Mi 3
Grand Prime
Redmi 3(bought this 2 times)
LG G2
,
it basically has the performance of a SD800, its really smooth, compared to all of my previous phones , its definitely an all rounder
-performance
-battery life
-camera( dont expect much like in its phone reviews and youll be happy)
-community ROM support(one of the best I ever had)
In my country (malaysia) , secondhand LG G2 are sold at quite a low price, around that price (80USD), the first time I researched a good phone was this and I was just shocked it having a really low price point, it really shows that people(including casuals) dont see this phone because its from the 2013 and its LG(to casuals they only know LG as appliance company lol). I was skeptic as thinking it might be a bad phone and for as little as 80usd you can get this performance im sold.
been using it for about 2 month now
I used a G2 D802 and a G2 VS980. Great phones, with a good choice of custom ROMs

Keep in mind that a 3 years old phone could have lost a third of its battery capacity. Mine did.
Definitely a good buy

I would recommend this phone. Best phone for me.
It performs like a new mid ranged device. Even better than some of them. It also has 1080p and 3000mAh so I would say it is still a good phone. I bought one for 100e used it even had foil on the side like it's new.
