[Q] Nexus 4 VS Optimus G? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was reading about specifications in Nexus 4 and Optimus G, and they are almost twins, wich one is better?
There's a Oxygen like rom for Optimus G?
Don't know if there's a place for questions like this, sorry if I'm asking in the wrong section...

They are the same on the inside for the most part but the G has more storage I believe. The software is very different. You can't flash software between them but you can flash the G and turn it into an 8gb nexus 4.

Um well the nexus is directly from Google so you can expect updates first so there is one difference.

Actually I own both devices and Optimus G has almost perfect function with nexus 4 conversion. Well since Optimus G also has some blooming development Optimus G is not a bad choice.
One thing I have to say is the screen is so much better. It really is. I have no idea why but if you just compare those two, it is so much better
I guess there is a reason why Optimus G is slightly more expensive than Nexus 4

Great links ;-)
As regards to what phone, my choice is tha Atrix, had the Nexus s running ICS but it is slow compared to the Atrix also had a streak and you may find coming down in size 5-4 inch screen may take getting used to as did with my friend ;-)
Thanks msd24200 & jonsmith709
I am more inclined towards Atrix... you are right 5inch to 4 inch is going to take a while to settle down. Hopefully the resolution helps?

Personally I'll probably not ever buy another motorola phone as samsung and htc devices have a much larger development following. I had been a big htc fan for years but the atrix looked so appealing with its specs. When the BL finally got unlocked that made it alot better, don't get me wrong. I have liked my atrix!

Thanks msd24200.
I am going to give Atrix a try, however I would need to buy the European model as the US one doesn't work with my network. Wondering if that will be ok for the custom rom? Will I be able to load all custom rom for the European model too?
A lot of the Blur ROMs are AT&T-based, so you'd need to use the RAM fix or Faux's kernel to get full compatibility on an international model.

Will we get port for Optimus G

optimus g bootloader has been unlocked but so far not much dev
What? You want the guys to port over the LG software on to the N4? I don't think it'll happen.

im asking in this forum to hopefully get some dev involvement, the g forum is pretty dead right now
with the unlocked bootloader the att version is nicer in my opinion with lte and sd card slot
thanks in advance if anyone can help, also willing to donate
Sell it and buy an N4.
Since the OG is about as popular as a fart in a spacesuit, no real chance of AOSP/CM.
And, since LG haven't launched the thing globally, even less chance.

I don't know about that, RC gets LG devices shipped to him, and he's some sort of freaky genius!

LG Optimus G interface for Nexus 4

I seem to have not found any threads on this, but I was wondering if I could have the LG interface that is on the optimus G on the Nexus 4.
Please reply with any insight.
Thank you

A likely port will hopefully come soon.

The optimusG can be loaded up with a complete firmware of 8gb nexus 4. I hope it can be done the other way round too. Might get a decent quadrant score
is any one currently working on this port? If Optimus G can get nexus' firmware why not the other way?

Pros and cons? LOL
The Optimus G and the Nexus 4 are siblings. They have the the same internal specs except for the amount of megapixels in the camera. The only thing different in the exterior. The G is more rectangular whereas the N4 is round in the corners.
Pros of the N4:
Nexus devices will get the new and latest updates sent directly from Google
No bloatware
Pure AOSP
Dedicated developers :thumbup:
A great selection of custom roms and kernels. (Lots of development)
Cons of the N4 and OG
Both are made of glass
Penta-band
No expandable storage
Non removable battery
Development is lacking is the LG OG forums
Here's the full specification comparison:

If you have the money you should get the N4.

Moto G vs any other phone

Hey guys,
The point of this thread is to try and keep the forum clean. Post here any comparisons with any other phone u have or would like to discuss...
I haven't received !y !oto g yet but as soon as I get it I will compare it against the nexus 4 and atrix HD.
What do u guys think... How does it compare to those two phones?

Dunno if changing from a Nexus 4 can really be considered a real update... There are lots of comparisons on YouTube, setting them more or less on par.
My verdict: if you need a new phone (and your current phone is older than one year) for < 350 Bucks get a Moto G...
Otherwise get a Nexus 5...
If you want to spend money on a status symbol: get an IPhone or a Sony Xperia Z1
I know I'm not updating just more of a side step ... But I like supporting manufacturers that offer the best bang for the buck and I needed the extra $$$, so I decided to go g

Except the rear camera, Moto G is better than XL in everything(Correct me if I'm wrong).
