LG has announced the "successors" to our tablet. They feature worse specs in every aspect, that means we have nothing to upgrade to!
LG has took a great step with the original (our) G Pad and made a great premium tablet, but because it didn't sell enough they decided to go with the samsung way to produce a crappy tablet with a cheap (yet overpriced) price.

What the hell... Is this true? How can they go the downgrade route when everybody else is churning out a better specced tablet every year?
There MUST be a misunderstanding regarding the specs.

Meh, it looks like they are making tablets for the masses.
When they could have used this wonderful tablet as a base and just fixed a few niggles and just upped the specs ?

This http://www.droid-life.com/2014/06/12/samsung-galaxy-tab-s-specs-10-5-and-8-4/ is what they should've been, but now, they are trying to compete with this http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-4-8.0_id8357
I'm hoping these new G Pads are just LG keeping product in the pipeline until they can release a premium tablet with a quantum dot display. If not then they are dead go me. These new g pads are boring commodity yawns. Could not be less interested.

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

Darn. And google is out of the 8.3 gpe model. Looks like I am out of luck until the Nexus 8 then

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!
I just bought a second hand LG G PAD 8.3, only 145 $... Hip hip hoooo

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?

In my opinion the phone is hideous, was thinking to upgrade but no way in hell am i doing that....
i got a feeling Samsung designed this too look like sh*t, to sell the galaxys2 and save customers for their new stock coming soon. This looks like some cheap Chinese knockoff. But the sad fact is they look a lot better...
what do you guys think.
EDIT...
NEW pictures released look a lot better still not feeling the soft key icons as much though....
looks like a galaxy s2, what did everyone expect?
the nexus s should have been a pretty obvious clue

The prime was too deep into development when google bought Motorola for them to just abandon the project. If there is going to be another nexus after the prime then chances are it will be done by Motorola.

According to Google (whether or not you want to believe it is another story), the Nexus phones will still be a contest for developers. Just because Google owns Motorola doesn't (supposedly) guarantee that Motorola will be the exclusive Nexus manufacturer.
I really hope this is true, because I am sure this is a major thing manufacturers push for. They may not sell as well as some of the other phones out there, but they get a ton of clout and the developers are very quick to stand behind them. Anything that challenges companies to try to one-up each other is a great thing in my book. That is what drives innovation.
Pictures don't always do an item justice
The N1 is no looker when seeing it online--which i am reminded of everytime I download MIUI from their Rom page
But, in my hand, it looks and feels great-------
i always thought the N1 looked better in photos, in hand the frame is too big and the colour is not to my liking, the images show a more darker black/brown
IMO, the supposed design look hideous but i like the software though, colorful, eye catching definitely except for the damn home menu and back buttons. WHERE IS THE F*ING SEARCH BUTTON! >.< i know it's weird but i am one of a few people who uses it a alot. on my n1 the search buttons serves as quick autorotate on/off and search function as well. Another biggest thing, doesnt that phone in the photo looks 4:3 rather than 16:9 to you guys?
I no longer think Nexus is ugly. The new picture shows aluminium type of edge around the phone. The first leak of the pics prob preliminary. I likes the new pics by modoco.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
you're right, but it will win any usefulness-contest among any Androidphone with its trackball
Engadget says its on the samsung website if you simply search for it. No specs yet. Just 2 and a half more hours till the specs are released >
The phone and the software are beautiful. What ever the op is smoking i Dont want any of it. I would snag that phone in a minute If it wasnt a verizon exculsive. I hate verizon with a Passion.

Well,

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.
Posted using xda mobile app
I will buy it regardless who makes it. Ultimately all that matters is who is overseeing the development of it which will be Google.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
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
Sent from my Nexus S
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

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.

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?

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 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.

Aside from not supporting their LTE freq it does support cdma, if they let you activate it of course...

Man good luck.. But I have heard that nexus 5 have battery issues. Still have a thought over it. My moto g gives battery backup of more than 1.5 days with little use ... and with heavy use its 10 hours... Still best.

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!
I finally got my moto g today and I'm loving it! Good luck on your new phone

The Moto G is an amazing phone for the price, no doubt. I just want the best......

While N5 is a very good phone, it's far from the best anymore...
Red nexus? It's orange...
I also looked at Nexus, but i decided to buy a cheap phone like Moto g.
I always carry with me my (great) LG tablet, so any phone i would buy would spent most of the time in my pocket or laying on the desk.

I consider it the best. Who cares if the htc one is a few mhz faster. You won't notice any difference in real world usage. Why would say it's not the best? It's a matter of opinion. Even if I had millions of dollars, the N5 would be my phone of choice. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

It's bright red, buddy. Go to the Google Play store and see for yourself. The pic I posted is not an accurate representation.
Congrats on your n5 :thumbup: I think it's the sexiest phone out there! And I totally agree with what you said about real life usage, even s4 is much better than moto g on paper but it turns out there's no difference in performance (at least not relevant) :beer:

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.
Not sure if you guys are aware of the rumors or not, but the HTC One M8 will have a better edition available soon titled the HTC Prime. It's rumored that it will have a faster processor speed, better camera, etc. Here is the link with the details : http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/htc-m8-prime-news/
How do you guys feel about this? Personally, I feel a little cheated. I've heard companies release smart phones to work out the kinks and issues in the 1st edition then recently releases another better one shortly after, butI didn't think HTC would fall in line with that. If this isn't a rumor, Id feel as if I'm missing out. Just sayin'.

This was rumoured even before the first one was released so it's not that much of a surprise...
As long as they wait 6 months...

Its ridiculous after a few weeks now an inproved version in fact i was pissed off and i call htc who knew nothing very cowardly.
I think it,s an anti-poor policies from htc if all this is true
would definitely feel cheated.
I got my M7 near launch and the only thing that came along that made me want to upgrade was the M8.
The M8 means 8th flagship, how can it be a flagship if there is a better model from HTC out and about.
I hear excuses that this was a premium version, but my M8 is already the most premium device out there.
ho hum, we shall see!

Nearly every other company does this. I'm pretty sure Samsung is doing the same thing...
As EddyOS mentioned, there was already multiple rumors going around before the M8 was released.
Well HTC didn't with the M7 and Apple don't.
Samsung have an obligation to flood the market with every device conceivable, HTC are better than that.

I think HTC is carried away by the other manufactures, but it is definitely not customer friendly
keyword: 5.5"
go checkout the Desire 816, which is also boomsound + 5.5" compare it to your M8 size
and let me know if you still decide to cry
equally s805 power is wasted on the 2k resolution you will be surprised, this is why most OEMs decided to stick to 1080p this round

The Prime = new Max
extremely piss off htc it's now Samsung ??
It's a One Maxx 2 and far too big. Just as useless as the One Max 1. Anyone upset at this needs to get a grip. 5MP UP ? No point either.
Sooo... companies should stop improving and releasing new products so customers don't get butthurt? I'm confused. Every company is going to be constantly building and improving on their products. If they never released one because another better one was in the pipeline, then they'd literally never release a single thing. Technology moves fast, get over it.

Exactly. It's not an upgraded M8. It's a new max.
Do not want. Way too big.
IMO this is really unnecessary!
Samsung and HTC could use these new ''features'' in a new mobile, M9 and S6 for example. I bought the M8 mid april, and maybe, soon i will have a ''old device''?
This is really sad...
But, anyway, these new devices look very good inside.

I didn't say they were. But being that the "Prime" has half inch bigger screen than standard M8, it's closer to being a "new" Max, rather than a "better" One.
It's too big for me. I'm not butthurt that they are coming out with it after purchasing my M8. Its a totally different class of device.
I stand by my "do not want."

OK I understand In that case, you're right
I'm okay with this... Bigger screen means more power consumption.. The only thing that upsets me is the better camera rumor.. Even then I'm fine.
