So I just got back from best buy and I noticed that their nexus s 4g display model had a more silverish, dark grey battery cover. Has anyone else seen this? I know mine is black but I thought it looked pretty cool.

Interesting. But why would Google change the design and not have this all over the news.

I have no idea. Ill take a picture next time. Maybe tomorrow? But it def. was different.
More silverish and seemed to have a little more texture.

Was it a real working model or one of those fake shells?

It was not a live unit.

Not all of them do. Reason I asked was just to see if anyone has one. Looked pretty sweet and was wandering if that was the only change.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Maybe the change in color/texture was from people touching it a lot and people's oils and dirt rubbed off the top layer?
Def. not. Ill try to take a picture tomorrow. It is a completely different back cover.
Pretty much the reason I am bringing this up is, because I'm curious to know if maybe this is a newer device/ model. Maybe fixing signal issues? Who knows. It could just be nothing but def. Interesting

Has anyone found any flip cases like the ones for the gs3 for this phone?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
does not yet, but I'm also waiting for the case
Not possible as battery/back cover doesn't come off as needed like the GS3.
That actually sold some that just snapped over the back of the s3

I just won a nexus 7 3g in a contest and before it gets here I want to get a good case. I'm looking for something like an otter box commuter style case cheap if anyone knows of a decent one.

Honestly I don't think the Nexus 5 is worth giving up the Nexus 4 just yet unless you are in dire need of the 32gb space which I guess most of you are. I think I'll hold on to my Nexus 4 for one more year and then make the leap to the Nexus 6 or whatever they'll call it.
I think Google will support the N4 for at least one more year and if not we always have these lovely devs.
What are y'all thoughts? PLEASE NO TROLLING OR DISRESPECTFUL COMMENTS

I guess it depends on what features are most important to you but to me the next Nexus must blow this phone completely out of the water before I trade it in. I mean don't get me wrong but I would of definitely purchased the Nexus 5 if I didn't have the Nexus 4

Completely agree. As for the fragile thing you only hear from the complainers. You never hear from the happy people.
Look after your phone and you'll not have a problem. Never understood how phones end up in toilets is it really necessary.

I take very good care of my phone, maybe a little more than I should but I understand the people that need the EXTRA durable phones. This phone isn't for a Mechanic, construction worker, laborer etc.

I get that but I wouldn't say any large smartphone has any building site in mind. That's what those cases that are bulky and look way over protective for the everyday person are for

You do have a point but keep in mind some users may not have the money or may not even know where to get a case for the N4. Idk. I'm glad I don't fall under the "Nexus 4 is fragile" category. I love the design though.

If I were to guess I'd say the price tag might start at around $380 for the 16gb maybe even more. To me it just isn't worth it if you have a Nexus 4 already.

Not worth it for me ether. I've never been one for upgrading every single year I don't see the point in paying that much to do the same thing but slightly quicker.
I tend to upgrade every 2-3 years
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
In my opinion, it will be the same price as the Nexus 4 was on release.. I don't think there is anything that looks like it is going to be more expensive than the components were when the Nexus4 came out. If it is cheap enough, I would be happy to upgrade once a year, sell the old phone and be only a little bit out of pocket

I think the key indicators of it being slightly more expensive than the N4 is the 4.9 inch screen, 1080p slightly larger battery and pressure sensor (whatever that is). I could be wrong but I'm willing to bet it will be slightly more.

To me there's not much of a major update to the successor (Nexus 5) for me to dish out more money.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It depends on what you use your phone for on weather it will be an upgrade.
For instance I use my phone quite often for playing my old psx games so the extra storage is a godsend.
Also I prefer to play them using opengl graphics as they look so much better however currently opengl only runs single threaded so it can be quite laggy.
If the nexus 5 does include the rumoured 2.3ghz s800 then it would provide a massive improvement to the framerates and would be a great upgrade for me
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
My solution is really easy for this problems. Since Google doesn't sell devices here through the Play Store, I fall under the pricing of LG, which will be ridiculously high as always, so even if I wanted to purchase this phone, I couldn't for an affordable price. :laugh:
I'm glad they are keeping a leash on my finances.

I love my Nexus 4 and I complain about its fragility all the time. It's the first phone I've owned that I have had to put a bumper or a case on. I don't know any other phone that can literally slide off a table with a slight slope.

I agree with you there. I would have expected more from Samsung. Bye the way is that really supposed to be a d-pad it's just a straight up circle. Hopefully these are just concepts.

Yeah no dpad. I bought a moga hero for my nexus 5. Oh man its awesome. And I only paid $45 for it from best buy via their eBay listing.
