So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.

The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

I wouldn't trade the phone period. First and foremost you could probably sell your phone on ebay depending on condition for 400-500 BC the demand is still so crazy, upgrade for 300 and still have some dough left over. Second when both phone get old which they will you have a Nexus your always going to have the latest software. Even though Samsung has gotten better with updates and the development community is great it's nice to have a stable vanilla build right from Google.

I would do it.
I would sell the Note 2, and then get myself another Nexus 4 and buy ice cream from the spare change.
I was on the other side of this a week ago. I traded my Note 2 straight across for a Nexus 4 and I couldn't be happier. The Note is fun for like a week...then you will miss the Nexus (I came from a Gnex and still missed it). I have ZERO regrets about the trade.

You couldn't pay me to trade my Nexus 4 for a Note 2, sorry. If I want to carry around a huge tablet, I'll take my Nexus 7 with me. I can't see putting that huge monstrosity (Note 2) up to my head to talk a call. No thanks. I'd look cooler holding a shoe up to my ear and I'd get major geek points.

the note 2 screen is worse than the first, lower res to make it narrow and dpi, it should of been better since they made the screen bigger. the nexus 4 is a good hand held size and aosp will provide more support than exynos chip
I would think about it as if you play your moves right, $200+ profit is too hard to pass up unless you do well (I dont).
In the end I probably wouldn't do it though. I really don't like the Note phones much personally and am crazy about my N4. I would be really upset if I couldn't get another N4 due to extreme lack of availability.

I would do it. These guys telling you no are crazy. Who wouldn't want to profit $100-150? You can find the nexus 4 16gb from craigslist for 400-450. Where I live there are about 5 people trying to sell it for 450 but no one is buying it. Idk why all these people are talking down on Samsung. I love my nexus but some of these people need to stop praising the nexus like it's a perfect device. They remind me of those annoying Apple fanboys. There are some minor issues with the nexus... like sometime Bluetooth doesn't want to toggle so you have to reboot to get it to work and the touch responsiveness on the web(tapping next to see next image) is not as responsive as Samsung. I wish Google would implement some of the features off tw.

You will not regret buying this phone, and a custom kernel should increase batterylife quite a lot. And you can set the colors to your own liking
As far as reports of problems go, there are just as many in the Nexus 7 forums. People with issues are simply more vocal.
I for one am finding this phone to be a perfect companion to my Nexus 7 and it's also as near to a flawless specimen as I could have hoped.

I would honestly suggest a soft gel/rubber case.. Hard cases ruined my hox, too much pressure to get them on, ended up breaking some ribbon on the board, so the screen won't turn on unless the housing is partially removed.. Which is how I have to use this phone until I fix it or order a nexus 4 if its not fixable for free/really cheap.
The only thing I'm losing is LTE. Which I don't use/rarely use as it is
You should if you can get it for $350 at Play Store. I'm happy with it, very good price for a good phone. If you can live with no LTE, non removable battery, no external SD card, somewhat low/tinny speaker output volume and just average camera quality you'll be happy with it.
I would buy it again. The price is unbeatable. If you can live with the lack of OTG (Which may be fixed eventually) and camera quality then you'll love it. I think the washed out colours thing is due to peoples love for very saturated screens. As I said in another thread, take a photo of something, look at it on the screen, if it's brightly covered in bloom, then it's over saturated. Just because the Nexus 4 is less saturated doesn't mean it's washed out.
All right just ordered it from Google. Can't wait! 388.00 total but that's cheap compared to the other ones I've had bought. Not to worried about the camera I have a camera for that. I'm still not sure on what case but thinking gel case something that won't scratch it n can clean up n not bulky. I don't know what plan to go with being in northern Mn there's not too many options.

I recently got it and I absolutely love it.
Things to consider though:
1. no SD CARD, got the 16GB version and im still struggling with space.
2. battery life is below average, I'm coming from a Motorola defy which had much better battery life.
I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?

i do... abit for the Z
The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

Really wanna get into the development scene. Up until Google IO I was dead set in getting a nexus 4. Now with the S4 announcement I can decide on whether to save up for that. One positive side of the nexus 4 is that in six months or whatever I can get a nexus 5 and still be around the same cost of one S4.

I don't think the S4 is twice as good as my N4...Yeah it has a removable battery and SD card, but its also made of plastic and feels cheaper.
I think you answered you're own question, get the N4 and N5 and hopefully still have change left

The thing that made the difference for me is realizing that it's the same experience when it comes to the two devices. And even with gaming the nexus can handle what's other there now.

Please can someone who has a nexus 4 tell me everything and say how awesome this device is

Price is low because you are buying the phone straight from Google and they are interested in you using their software rather than making money off the device like other companies. It's an amazing device on par with other flagship's.

To me, the ONLY negative is the lack of SD card slot. So you are only limited to 16gb of storage, and that's not the entire amount available to you. And coming from a device with 64gb storage it was a hard pill to swallow lol. I figured I needed a "diet" of apps and data anyways. :laugh:
I absolutely love the phone and amount of love the devs have had developing for it thus far. I also still have my old Nexus one in storage .

To me, the ONLY negative is the lack of SD card slot. So you are only limited to 16gb of storage, and that's not the entire amount available to you. And coming from a device with 64gb storage it was a hard pill to swallow lol. I figured I needed a "diet" of apps and data anyways. :laugh:

If you want a lot of storage on hand and not in the cloud this phone is not for you. You can use thumb drives but unlike other devices you will need a power source and a y-OTG cable. As stated before the low price is simply to get you to use Google software and in my opinion the limited storage is a not so subtle push to get you to use Drive. This is my first phone with an embedded battery and it's surpassed my expectations. I get over 24 hours with minimal usage and 8 hours with what for me is heavy usage, this includes streaming music for 2 hours for my commute and my data is always on. Like the previous poster said, this is a great device. To optimize battery life, root and buy SetCPU.

Like the past repliers, low price is there because google is focused on the software, rather than making a lot of money off of their phones. It's a really great device, and I plan on using for a very long time (unless I get a N5 when it comes out, of course.) It's well worth the cost if you can get one. Even the it isn't the best phone out right now specs wise, it's still one of the best overall. It may not have the best amount of memory, but I easily overlook that with dropbox and box.

Thanks for the replies buddys just one more question ... Do the n4 overheat alot ?
if you bought it from google store you get the subsidized versions , in countries where such stores are not present the phone is bit expensive

I know bro . Google play doesn't exist in Sweden.... But what can I do? I'm going to buy it from a trusted store and I'm hundred percent sure that they bought it from the US

I was afraid about the low price as well but Google doesnt even want to make money on Nexus. They just want you to use their software and develop maybe!
So, just open your wallet and purchase one Nexus or two maybe! Then unlock it and flash custom ROMs and kernels!
