As a fairly new owner of a galaxy s3 and I have never used an android before I have loved your phone from the beginning.
Then I thought what else can I do to it to make it even better.
Open android was drawn to me because it gives users of your devices the option to modify their device the way they want to.
This doesn't take away the fact that it was your company that built the phone or the software inside it just means that we can get more out of the phone than you intended.
Since having this phone I have told others about it and what it can do and have even got others to think about owning one too.
This is from word of mouth that your sales increase, the more options available to your phones the more your sales will increase.
Closing the door on that option will decrease sales, word of mouth will get smaller and people will go elsewhere to buy phones with more to offer.
Why not think of the people that build roms and mods and make kernels to modify your devices free developers and the people who modify their phones and tell others free advertising.
You can't go wrong.
If it's only money you are after then money you will receive.

OP... this is XDA-Developers not Samsung. There's a general chat for a reason- so we don't clutter the forums with useless threads.

Then why post it, I didn't see anything specific or useful in your comment. If it's about exynos, a thread already exists. That's the only thing that's being demanded.

Wow bro you clearly have no idea...
what do you think how many people actually root their Android phone? Id guess something like 5% and believe me samsung wants to keep this number as low as possible because if there are huge advantages in rooting more people would do it. if they unlocked everything and gave the community every possible driver you know what would happen?
The Galaxy S4 came out in March or so and nobody would buy it. maybe it has a 12mp camera more efficient processor but if it runs the exact same firmware as the s3, much less people would buy it. the changes would be too small. Hardware and Software are the only things that you buy from samsung. if they handed out the newest software for every phone they built, they would lose that factor for new phones they wanna sell.
Apple did the same thing with the 4S. do you think the i phone 4 cant run siri? oh but it can but the changes in the 4s were so small that they needed something new. since the hardware did change much they had to improve the software.
thread closed - let samsung know your thoughts directly
Hi everyone am sorry to post. New thread but I need some open ions please ..is the nexus 4 good ..its good on paper but is it good in real ..many people say it has low build quality and the screen issue..I know its kinda cheap but my LG p920 was a cheap high end device and people also said its bad but I have had for a year and I love it ..so please reply with openions

Its a great phone....if you get a working one before the next one comes out. I ordered on November 13th, received it on the 29th. The radio was bad so i requested an RMA. Still waiting with a second 350 dollars in googles hands until they decide to ship the device... I love android, and Googles apps and services (except calendar) are great but i don't think i'll risk buying a physical device from them again.
If you're posting this just to have a better justification on buying the phone. Just do it because all posts will be biased. If you post on the one X forum and asks if you should get it they will obviously tell you to buy the phone.

Probably a replacement for Bada? Doubt they shall drop Android on there premium phones any time soon.
Vodafone is involved, that makes it even less attractive. Guessing they don't wish to pay royalties to Google, Apple etc and want maximum profit. That's Vodafone!
IMHO it'll be for budget dumb phones, Samsung ain't going to hand there market share to LG etc.
it wouldnt be a wise move for sammy.. tizen does look good and I think alot off developer will be interested in it but id stick with android myself

It's just a replacement for Bada - the high-end phones are still going to run android.

Hey guys ive just discovered nexus 4 and i think its an amazing device .. But im worried about the low price ... Is something wrong or something? :S
Please can someone who has a nexus 4 tell me everything and say how awesome this device is
Thanks
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 .

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.

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 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!
In workmanship, materials , configuration, shooting on these relatively "hard" indicators , plus the phone can indeed be regarded as a leader in the industry , and in foreign countries, based on cooperation and CM , plus gives a first impression is very good and get feedback also praise the majority. Unfortunately, not superior design and performance of the system in general , he just let one plus stopped on a node . "Open, large and , in fact, meant to abandon the personality" , good products are not only rely on a pile of hardware to push up , still need a good system and software support, and develop soft power competition and style are the current domestic intelligence mobile phone market a top priority , if you want , and " Out" of " Friends of " who a showdown , an early emphasis should perhaps be added to this.
Appearance aside and systems , plus a whole is indeed "no will " , whether the text has inked a lot of detail, workmanship and configuration, and make people a little surprised camera performance , or the use of "spot + queue" Offering mode, which allows an increase in the army of internet marketing seems a little bit right way. If an ordinary consumer has two thousand yuan budget to buy the phone , then boarded a Canadian has the strength recommended list. Of course, we hope that an increase in the next generation of products ( or two plus one plus two ? ) Can be more carefully, to make more , "a plus" products to .
在做工、用料、配置、拍摄这些比较“硬”的指标上，一加手机的确可以算是业内的翘楚，而在国外，基于和 CM 的合作，一加给人的第一印象都是非常好的，得到的反馈也是褒奖居多。可惜的是，并不出众的外观设计，以及表现一般的系统，硬是让一加停在了某个节点上。“开放，大而全，其实也意味着抛弃了个性”，好产品并不是仅依靠堆砌硬件推起来的，仍旧需要良好的系统和软件支撑，而软实力竞争和格调养成均是当前国内智能手机市场的重中之重，如果想要和“内外兼修”的“友商”们一决高下，一加或许应该尽早重视到这一点。
抛开外观和系统，一加整体的确是“不将就”的，无论是文中已经着墨颇多的细节、做工和配置，以及让人有点儿惊讶的拍照表现，还是采用的“现货+排队”发售模式，这些都让一加在互联网营销大军里显得有那么一点点卓尔不群。如果一个普通的消费者有两千元预算要选购手机，那么一加已经有实力登上推荐的榜单。当然我们更希望一加在下一代产品（一加二或是二加？）上能够更加用心，做出更“一加”的产品来。

Learn to read Chinese. It will be world largest economy this year. (by GDP PPP). I learn to learn Mandarin in only 6 months. It ain't that hard.
You will see more Chinese phones and technology in the future, it's better to prepare for yourself.
So stop reading Google translate, it's not accurate and it's not capable of translating a lot of the internet and slang talks.
Naw. Learn Cantonese, it's the best Chinese. Or what the hell, learn Cambodian or Swahili. They're probably all equally important in your daily life. You'll never know when you need to read a random Internet review of a phone, or what language it'll be in. In 6 months, you'll finally be able to know if this is the phone for you.

The only thing that is obvious to see is that you completely missed the sarcasm in the post you replied to. Well done.
Anyways, it doesn't matter who has what GDP, XDA uses English (feel free to check the rules).
Also, weren't you not interested in this phone as stated in this thread, where you talked about how the OnePlus was a terrible phone they didn't give it to you for a dollar? I believe the actual phrase you used to describe it was "...this stupid ass company". Change your mind, did you?
The syntax of the OP is just gibberish. Please learn the King's english before using some translation machine. Thank you come again.
I did NOT translate it or use any translation tool, a mod did. That's why it's in red.
Then... Why did you post it?
