Hey all,
I've recently started looking for a new phone and of course I have been looking at the Nexus 4, but another phone that crossed my mind is the Optimus G, because there's a (AOSP) ThinkingBridge rom available for it! The better things about the Optimus G are the 13 megapixel camera, 32 gb storage and a bigger screen (as there are capacitive buttons, and not the on-screen buttons which you of olcourse can disable, but I don't like that). The Nexus 4 though looks better, has bigger forum support and is cheaper (only 19 euros/ 30 dollars?, so that's no major difference). Please help me decide and tell me if there are any other phones you advise me to take a look at!
Thanks!
Me Gusta!
PS. I didn't know if I had to post this here or at the Q&A section or here, so sorry if I was wrong
Or the Oppo Find 5?
Me Gusta!
If you can live with 3G network speeds and don't get to drop your phone often, get the nexus 4. Otherwise get the optimus g or any other Qualcomm snapdragon phone. Its the Qualcomm year. Best soc, with best support. I personally like the HTC one but its pricey.
Coming from a nexus s, you must understand the advantages of nexus devices. Plus, the nexus 4 is beautiful, and fast. Its fast. Did I mention how fast it is? Only downside, you need a custom kernel to get the most out of its battery.

I completely believe you saying it's an awesome device, but the only thing I don't like about it is the fact that it only has 16gb.. it's a real downside for me as i have 6gb on music :S

True. The 16gb is actually 12 GB free.

Live with less storadge, and buy the Nexus 4, by what I saw LG has the slowest rate of sowtware updates ever, so now you will not feel bad because it's new but in a year or two you will noitice the difference between a Nexus and others, for me if 16Gb on the Nexus S are sufficient (not impresive but sufficient) then 16Gb wil be enough on the Nexus 4 aswell, do what you want but keep in mind that lg doesent always respect it's costumers, Google does!

I am in the same boat as OP and I am inclining towards Optimus G with the hope that XDA will be my source of latest android versions. My inclination towads Optimus G is mainly because of 32GB storage and LTE+FM Radio. Only advantage of Nexus 4 is prompt updates by Google, which I hope is catered somewhat with XDA support.
So Me Gusta did you decide? If you do pleace share

Ok, ok...choose what you want but remember (Nexus 4 )
Said I would keep you up to date. So here I go!
I went with the Galaxy S4 (snapdragon 600 version), because of its specs and the fact that aosp is available through google. Love the phone so far and am not disappointed yet! Sometimes I do feel like the HTC One with AOSP would be even better, but the gs4 is still one hell of a phone!!

I don't think. Google buy Motorola, so i think the next Nexus had made by Motorola.

Well,
See this article

Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
Its not going to be a moto device.
Lg gets a bad rap in the states. All they have ever really sold here is budget phones and that is what people know.
IMHO anybody that is against lg making this device based off the internals of the optimus g is out of their damn minds. Or just some brand name loyal fanboy trolls.
Sure there where always people that will that prefer amoled screen and that is legitimate.
But a nexus based of those internals is simply great IMHO. It is truly some of the best if not the best components out period. I welcome the change to making a nexus device on true bleeding edge components.
I don't wanna hear crap from OEM fanboys myself. HTC guys where not happy about Samsung doing this device. Samsung guys whine about the rumors of HTC making the next one.
The optimus g is a monster. A nexus phone based of it is great.
Also, I heard that LG makes excellent display hardware as well, so the amoled may not be sorely missed as others are wont to expect.

I will buy it regardless who makes it. Ultimately all that matters is who is overseeing the development of it which will be Google.

For amoled lovers they will miss it. Some love the looks of those displays and its their preference. Also being able to adjust colors in the kernel some love. Even if another display is better in just about every way some just prefer amoled.
I am not one of them. My buddy has a HTC one x and I love that screen.
If anybody is curious about what kind you like most. Go to a sprint store and look at gnex/gs3/evo lte. Or att and one x /sg3 and compare.
More rumors flying.. Sealed phone.. That may be a complete deal breaker. I refuse to own a phone I can't replace the battery.

if this is true, it might definately be a deal breaker for alot of people
As phones become thinner it seem sealed is the trend. If the battery capacity is at least 2500mah I don't think there will be as much uproar. (edit: apparently the lg optimus g has 2100mah battery, also 32gb internal storage and no microsd.)
Despite Google bought Motorola mobile division, Motorola phones are locked down and tends the be least updated Android phones, so its a good thing it won't be Motorola branded to me.
i really don't care who makes it as long as it has a a15 series cpu 32gb of storage and if possible retina screen which is better than amoled in both batery an color

I don't see the problem with LG. I had the LG shine and it was very well built, with a metal back and high quality screen, etc. Of course this wasn't a smart phone and that phone came out ages ago. I'm curious to see what LG does with the nexus though.
I welcome them.
I honestly could care less who makes it. LG, Samsung, HTC, etc. As long as I like the look and more importantly the specs! This is what I base all my tech purchases on. Laptops, phones, everything. I buy the best that I can afford at the time or wait so I can save to get even better. It should have at least the same specs as the S3. I would of course like more but that may be asking to much. I am a Nexus buyer. I don't want an S3 because it isn't the Nexus line. I will probably get this phone since I skipped the GNex, regardless of whos name is on it.
I hope the rumors are true. I want a sony nexus so bad!! I miss my xperia
I also read somewhere that there might be more than one manufacturer for the Nexus..

This not be good. The nexus must be just one...not like 1538 Galaxy devices.
The only reason why iPhone is so popular is because is just one top device and the nexus must be just one too. Not important who make it, but if realy make more devices and worse, more manufacturer, he kill the exclusivity of that device.

Not to mention further add to the problem of fragmentation of the platform. It will be harder to push updates for more than one new Nexus, not to mention the older Nexus phones like the crespo and maguro.

I couldn't resist the lure of the Nexus 5. I bought the red one and a clear bumper case, and I'm ready to rock and roll. The moto g has been great for the short time I've used it, but I always really wanted the nexus 5. I'm going to be selling the G on swappa or craigslist as soon as my N5 is delivered. Take care and have fun guys, off to the Nexus 5 section of xda.

To me, the Nexus 5 is a very nice phone. I ended up with the Moto G and I'm happy with it. The cost difference is what made the final decision for me but the N5 ended up 2nd on my list of all the phones I considered. I know you'll enjoy it.
Yeah actually I was even planning to buy nexus 5... But cost turned me towards moto g... With some compromise.

I was in the same boat. Ultimately, the cost/benefit analysis of the MotoG vs. N5 swayed in favor of the MotoG. The better battery life and physical size/form factor combined with price outweighed what I'd be giving up by not choosing the N5 -- LTE, bigger screen (which is a negative for me), and NFC.

To each their own. That's why they make a million kind of phones. Sometimes you are just drawn towards something and can't resist. The N5 was that for me. I actually really like the Moto G and it does everything I need. But, MUST HAVE NEXUS 5. I'm not gonna fight it any more. In the end, it's what makes us happy. Sometimes cost/benefit equations don't always win. Who says you always need to be logical?

Oh, I completely understand. I LOVE the Nexus 5. It would be, no question, my phone after the MotoG. It just boiled down to the fact that I have smaller hands, and I'm rarely away from WiFi for very long so the lack of LTE isn't a big issue especially since T-Mobile's HSPA+ speeds are more than adequate for me. But..yeah...nothing against the N5 -- it's an amazing device! Enjoy your new baby!

make sure to include the words "in my opinion", if you don't want people correcting you buddy. No expandable storage,non-removable battery, average camera,no 4k video recording, below average battery life... that's your best smartphone. It's good for the price tag if one can live with the above mentioned shortcomings.
I got em both and for some reason I find the moto g way more convenient to use, especially the battery life is almost double of the N5.
Anyway, you can't go wrong by going for the N5. gl.

It's far worse than that....
They know they are not capable of competing with Samsung or Apple on the high end and with the HTC built Nexus 8 about to arrive and dominate the Middle / Upper Middle class range.. LG has done the wise thing and put themselves back in the class consisting of tablets like the Lenovo A10, Asus MeMO FHD 10, Acer Iconia A-130 etc..
LG has no desire to and are not capable of running with the big dogs at the upper end of the tablet spectrum.. Thus the V700, V500 and V400.. Hey, at least they'll have something on the shelves.

REQUOTE: ...did not sell enough - That's their own doing. When it was first announced, I *really* wanted one of these and would have happily paid a premium full asking price on day 1, but up here in Canada this was total vapourware for the first 6 months of its release, and is only just recently available from our big electronic retailers as web-purchase only for $399, still vapourware if you want to see and hold the device, not available in-store, and I can assure you I'm NOT going to cough up that kind of coin sight unseen for something that by the time it became available to me was pretty much a year and a half old on specs.
For the current selling price, I'll be able to get one of the new Samsung 8.4" tabs with better-in-every-respect specs.
LG did this to themselves. If you want to sell your product, you have to actually make it available. Samsung has that figured out, I can walk into *any* local store, drugstores included, and physically see, try and purchase a full range of their plethora of devices. Despite *begging* LG via email for months, I was never able to actually get one of these in any way, and now that I can, it's way too late. Again I say, they did it themselves and really should think long and hard about their marketing and supply strategy.
Cheers

Well, that makes me all the happier I bought my G Pad 8.3. It really is a great device for the price, and at any price really. Now if I could just get rid of LG's bloated version of Kit Kat...
When I heard about the LG10.1 I was like " I'm going to sell my 8.3 then buy that " but when I saw the specs? I'm? happy with my 8.3 cheap with competitive specs!

Hey guys,
LG's new tablets may be worst than ours but their new UI is gorgeous! And as the 8.3 has a better hardware I bet it could run that ROM pretty smothly.
Can anyone make a port of that ROM for our device?

I currently have a 64Gb OPO. I wasn't interested, but a friend sent me an invitation and I couldn't resist. So far I'm loving the battery, cyanogen and everything in general.. But I miss wireless charging and that "Nexus-Google" feeling.
I'll be upgrading my Nexus 7 to the new one for sure, and I'm probably getting the Nexus 6 to give it a try. What about you guys?
Got the note 3. Really wanted the 4 but been abit underwhelmed by it.
So i ordered the opo gonna set that up and play with it but it's abit to small screen wise and a bit to big real estate wise i think. So will give that to my dad.
I'm really tempted by the nexus 6 and i think I'll go for that.

I think I will get Nexus 6, I always liked Motorola's build quality and antenna. If camera is same or better compare opo I'm in.
Yes

Definitely won't buy it. 5.9 is too big for one handed use.
Hell, I sold my note 3 just to buy a Oneplus One!
depends.. really like opo, would like to try N4 (used N3 b4 opo) - i guess it'll all come down to price, specs, overall design (if it feels too big or just right)
I went from the N2 to the nexus 5, and I kinda like the smaller screen now. I'm on the fence about the N6. I'm moving to Korea so I'm going to wait until I get there to replace cellular devices.

Isn't the OPO about the same size?

That's cool. I like Korea (I'm assuming it's South Korea ). You might also wanna look at some Cat6 devices like the new G3 with snapdragon 805.
BTW, why are you moving?

Nope! The note 3 is more of a square shape (wide) & flat, while the opo is a rectangle shape & curved.
BIG difference when in hand. Especially when you have a case on.

They're both rectangles, a square has equal length sides
The main differences are that the OPO has curved top and bottom, and it has smaller radius corners.

The note 3 is a half centimeter larger.
BTW we know nothing about the nexus 6... i'm kinda curious about android L and ART, but from the 2 pics that we have, it seems too big for the average usage.. i don't think that it will fit in my pocket...
Next phone i will buy is the OnePlus One 2
Think I will get the n6, having owned an n4, n5 and n10 its the only right thing to do
I got my OPO last month, so I don't think I'll by a new one so quick.
The Nexus 6 looks great but we have to wait and see what users have to say about him after some usage.

South, of course . I work for the US Govt. They're relocating me to Seoul for a few years.
The two things that may keep me from buying the N6 are the price and storage capacity. I'm very happy with the OPO, you just can't beat it at $360 with the 64GB capacity. Motorola's new phones which the N6 may be borrowing hardware from just seem pretty mediocre, particularly the cameras, and I'm also not a fan of the design in general. I may consider it if it comes with a 64GB option or has a SD card slot, but all I've been hearing is that it will only come in 16GB and 32GB and no SD card slot. I had an N5 and I've always been a fan of the Nexus line of phones, but I now see them as mediocre devices compared to the OPO, but we'll see.
Depends on price. I'm pretty happy with the OnePlus the only thing is I'm on t mobile so I'm missing that one band and is like to get that.

I have yet to he impressed with a Motorola camera. Just got the OPO and came from a find 7a. Bought it specifically to avoid the upcoming nexus.
Maybe. I got this phone from Swappa using that PayPal no pay for 6 months. So essentially this is a trial. Ill wait til the next Nexus is announced before making a decision as I haven't risked anything with this phone yet.

Confused by you question / post. The OPO is missing a Tmo band?
Hi everyone as the title says I want to buy a new device and I need your help

Exactly same situation, just replaced my Nexus4 by a Moto X 2014 and it is a very good smartphone.
Hmm its a great device

Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, waterproof, really nice camera, microsd-slot, blazing fast cpu and really good buil-in function such as Stamina Mode.
Yes really, and I'm a Nexus fan. Great display, not to big even with 5.2 screen, amoled ( which I prefer over LCD for smartphone ), good build quality and wonderful network sensibility. Pure Android interface and Motorola software, especially active display. I have to test it more before talking battery, but for now it seems very good to me.
Go for a moto, because they have fast updates and aosp look and feel.
I'm a Brazilian without English Course, sorry and be comprehensive
2013 Moto X if you want something cheaper, Xperia Z3 Compact if you can afford it. Of course, you could always buy another Nexus 4. $220USD off eBay for a brand new one.
Yes Planterz is right. A friend which was like me with a dying nexus 4 is now with a moto x first gen. He choose this one because of the price and because he doesn't want to have a big device ( moto x is 4.7 inch ). He is very happy with it, great battery life and surprisingly fast given it spec's. He say he feel it faster than nexus 4.
Go for one+1 not expensive and great spec.
First Thanks a lot guys ... What do u think about HTC m8 ?

I think that the m8 is great or if you live in Asia you can always buy the m8 eye..
But I think that you must wait until the Nexus X aka Nexus 6 gets launched and then you can buy it so you will have a flagship phone with a medium range price and that's great. I hope I had helped you.

Thanks bro I love nexus phones but also wanna try HTC phones (big fan)

Moto X (2014) or HTC M8 + Play Edition ROM would be my two choices. However do not expect TOO much of an increase in functionality, in my opinion everything out right now is only incrementally better, not significantly better than the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 still conquers any software thrown at it, the Adreno 320 is still a very powerful GPU...I would say the only areas where newer devices really trump the Nexus 4 would be camera and display.
For example the Moto X has a 5.2" 1080p AMOLED vs 4.7" 720p IPS in our Nexus. Also the camera is 13MP vs our 8MP.

More info is needed... Budget, screen/device size, and what features are most important to you would be useful, its tough to recommend something without having some idea of what you want.
If you come from a Nexus 4 you should wait for Nexus 6 I think.
Wait for the nexus 6 with Android L. It will blow all isheeps out to the water
