What phone would be the best straight trade? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been thinking about trading my Nexus 4 for a little while, and I haven't come up with a phone that I could trade it for. I just wanted to do a straight trade with someone on Craigslist. I just need recommendations for LTE phones that are comparable and would be good enough for a trade with a nexus 4. All helpful input and/or past ecperiences are welcome.

I know this definitely going off topic, but why choose the find 7a instead of waiting for a OPO?

Sell me your Nexus One??

So I had too many phones for 2 users and needed to sell whatever sells....
Of Course one of them ended up being the Nexus One (Stupid iPhone 32GB wouldn't sell). So from being the owner of 2 Nexus Ones, now I'm down to none.
If this sounds like a desperate plea... that's cause IT IS. =) I was down to using the iPhone 3GS and couldn't last more than 6 hours until I traded it for an X10.
I'm looking for a Nexus One that works for Rogers, so if you're thinking of selling yours, let me know. I'm only looking to buy local so no shipping please.
I'm located in Toronto so can meet anywhere in the GTA.
My apologies ahead of time if this needs to go to another forum.
Look here please, thread closed.

Worth buying the phone?

Hey
Here in Sweden, the nexus 4 costs around 650 U.S. dollars. I can't get it cheaper from here. The question is, is the phone worth buying for 650 dollars? I really love the phone, but the phone's battery/camera maybe doesn't match the price?
Thx
I bought mine off of eBay for $540 tho, but I sold my s2 for $430.
What phone you currently own?
I bought mine fort 522 (€395) dollars in Germany. It is a great iPhone that will need a charge at night though. It is superfast, camera is good but nog terrific. Bur overall it is worth the money imo. Smooth, fast and first tot get updates and off course no bloatware.

YOLO.
@OP: its your money. spend it the way you want. coming to this forum, most of the people will say yes because we're biased, id even say it myself personally because I prefer nexus devices over anything else.
read reviews, watch videos, read forum posts and judge for yourself. good luck.
Yeah, it's same here at Finland. Lowest I can find it is over $660 USD (€500), but usually from trusted shops, it's more like $740 USD (€560).
I hope that UK/Germany-based web stores can get it soon to stock, I'm not going to pay over €450 for it, it's not worth it if you ask me..
If someone could recommend good shops from European union, I'd be glad to hear them

Read a review. I'm not here to advertise a phone whether you should buy it or not or say things so you walk away from buying a N4. It's up to you.
Most people here will beg you to buy it, but I'm a honest person. If you want the phone, just buy it.
http://androidandme.com/2012/11/smartphones-2/nexus-4-review-roundup/ provides a good overview of N4 reviews.

I'll get a Note II or HTC One X+ if it costs around the same. While Nexus 4 is a great device, the most compelling reason (for me, at least) to buy it is the $350 price point from Play Store. At $650 there are many other options that you can consider, and the Nexus 4 only make sense if you really really want stock and want to get the next Android version the day it is available.
Thanks everyone for the replies, i think im going to buy it.

Well, I'd like to have the best smartphone there is. HTC One X+ is great, but Nexus 4 is better, it has 1GB more RAM etc.
Nexus 4 happens to be the best phone on market at the moment, which is fairly well available. Xiaomi Mi-2 isn't available, I would buy it if it was.
That's why I've decided to buy N4, but I have no idea where to get it, without paying something like $650 dollars, which isn't fair price.

Wise choice.... The N4 rocks more than any other right now!
N4 is literally the phone that I would've bought even if it was 800 dollars it is fast smooth and in Canada, I can have lte!!

The N4, from what reports are saying. Will be at top of the Android phones. Currently held by the SGS3 and the Note 2.. I like all 3 the thing that kills me about the sammy line is the touch wiz. Yuck. Overall there all great phones.. Just preference on the user.

If the note 2 is the same price, then it's not worth getting the nexus 4. Like many other people mentioned it's only worth it when it's priced at $349 dollars. But, I think you already made up your mind....

I beg to differ. It's one of the highest spec phones out there and has proper Google support. It is a Nexus device and will be supported longer than most of other Android devices, it also gets updates directly from Google quickly as well as getting good developer support (less buggy ROM day one).
Galaxy Note's S Pen is also closed source and can't be used on AOSP I believe as it is attached to TouchWiz. I can be wrong on this.
Hell yea get this phone...do what you have to do and get it lol....buy it...trade for it...just make it happen lol...best phone out!!!!!!

Help me decide my next Android purchase

Hi guys. I have a Nexus S and I already posted this in the NS forums.
Now... I've been wanting a Nexus 7 ever since it was announced, but only now that I can afford one.
But now I see I've got a chance to buy a 16gb Nexus 4.
I was planning on continuing to use my Nexus S as it totally rocks running CM10.1 and using the Nexus 7 for browsing the web around the house and playing games.
If I would buy the Nexus 4 I would obviously not afford the Nexus 7 for a while. But the Nexus 4 is such a sexy piece of hardware and it has a much better camera than the Nexus S and I've got a baby on the way and I would love to be able to take good pictures and HD videos of my little ones.
Help me decide!
Nexus 7 + Nexus S
Or
Nexus 4 only
I´ll tell you one thing that might sway your opinion a bit...
I am in Iceland... A 16gb Nexus 4 is 99.900 ISK = 775 USD. A 32gb Nexus 7 is 59.900 ISK = 465 USD.
:crying:
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app
I would say keep the S and get the 7.
If you are happy with the phone you have now, then keep it and enjoy the larger screen of the 7 for video/pics/etc...
And you will have some money left over to put towards what ever phone Google comes out with next.
Danggg that's expensive
I would keep your current phone, buy the 7, and with the cash saved buy a nice little camera. No phone can replace a camera. You'll have it all. Good luck with the kid. I got two and they ain't cheap..
I just* came from a Nexus S yesterday. I say get the Nexus 4. It is son totally worth it dude....
Crap and I thought that getting the nexus 4 from t-Mobile was expensive.
I would strongly encourage against getting the nexus 4. Instead get the nexus 7. You can still take pictures with the nexus 7 and the nexus s. Your new baby will also be able to use the device to play once he or she is old enough

Wow, didn't expect the Nexus 4 forum to be so biased towards the N7. I might just post this in the N7 forum to get all points of view.
Sent from my Nexus S
For 770$, don't get the nexus 4.
A nexus s and a nexus 7 would be much better value for money.
If it was priced normally, get the n4

Not biased, we are just reasonable. If the N4 would've been the price it normally is, I would've gotten it. But in your situation, getting the N7 is simply the most logical thing to do.

If it's the most beautiful phone ever made, what do you recommend?
By the way, the battery isn't that bad. You just have to figure out what causes it. Also, the camera isn't horrible. It's above average for a smartphone. Certainly not the best, but it's also not the worst.

If money isn't the issue then Note 2 is the king of the hill. I can fully recommend that. Battery is super good out from the box and camera in top 3 of the smart phones.
I really want to love my Nexus but my heart breaking every time how I see the battery go down and when I take a picture in a bit dark conditions.
Then on the other hand Note 2 which is plastic and kinda ugly and would be great to hate it just always surprises me positively.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I've looked into this now and I see that it wouldn't save me a lot of money due to Icelandic import taxes. Maybe about 50 GBP.

Isn't Iceland part of the EU? I have the same problem as you, only I live in the Netherlands. I have the option to buy it from the UK or German playstore, and Germany also sells it elsewhere for a higher price.
You could get it from Canada/USA (when it's available again, or maybe via ebay) and hope you don't have to pay import duty. If you have it sent to you as a gift (like a personal package from family) I believe you don't have to pay taxes. At least that's how it works here. It's a bit of a grey area but I'm not going to pay 100-200 euro more for a phone that's supposed to be cheap.

I thought Iceland was a EEA country, no? I mean they don't ask for visa... Your currency is Euros right?
Just buy it on ebay.co.uk but don't forget to ask the seller if he could send it as a gift. (If you really want to make sure.)

A lot of ebay sellers don't want to do this though. And besides, finding a cheap seller on ebay can be difficult. You have to bid on almost every single one, and that can drive up the price really fast.

How much will you get for your Nexus 4?

So, I'm assuming a large number of you will buy the Nexus 5 when it comes out. My question is this: How much do you plan to ask for your Nexus 4, assuming you plan to sell it. Do you think the fact that the Nexus 4 is sold out and obsolete will have any impact on your asking price, or more importantly, on the price a buyer agrees to?

Check out sites such as eBay, Craigslist etc. to get an idea of what to sell the N4 for. Also keep in mind that the condition, accessories (box, original charger etc) and GB version, possibly even color (white or black version) all increase/decrease value.

They are still available here brand new, I just upgraded to one for free but they are selling for $300 unlocked with a plan (no contract though).
So I doubt you could get much over $250 with the way people are around here. That's Canadian $$ too lol
I will ask $224.67. I will get $213.92.
As an example, I sold my GNex for €150, I could probably sell my N4 for €250.
Then again, I just got it, so I wont
I asked to trade in my Nexus 4 at one of my local shops and they said they can't take it because apparently the serial number sticker is not there. I didn't think it was in important at all. Just peeled it off when it faded. Does that mean you can never resale without that back sticker. That can't be a reason to order a replacement surely.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
$200-250 will probably be the market value in the USA once the N5 comes out. What other phones with similar specs and popularity are there? The closest competition are used Galaxy S3s (which I think is inferior to the N4).

My only regret is I don't have mine yet.
If you know what you're getting into, I don't see why regret. If you're unsure about a big phone, don't get it. This thing is a whale!
My only regret seems to be pre-ordering it from the Play Store with all this Moto shipping now and all.
Biggest regret is not having it by now!
