Nexus 4 vs Optimus G

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!!

Good choice! The HTC One has those kiler speakers in front but the S4's speakers arent bad either, plus you get removable battery and a superb superamoled. Congratulations!

Who thinks that the Galaxy S5 is a disappointment?

I already saw the leaked images and feel that the S5 is a taller version of the S4 with ribbed back. And same cheap plastic. No go for me. I think LG or HTC will be winning?
Anyone else disappointed in what the S5 will be?

I think a lot of us are but let see what Samsung does. They are starting the announcement now. We'll have a better opinion afterwards.

The galaxy s1, 2, and 4 all seemed to be big leaps from the prior generation to me. The s3 at the least inherited a whole new design language. I love Sammy but the s5 seems to be a huuuuuge let down. It's not really their fault, most processor, screen, and camera improvements in the last year have been modest. But a let down nonetheless
Sent from my HTCONE using xda app-developers app

I'm not at all impressed with the design of it. I expected something new with it. To me, this does not feel new. The whole Galaxy Gear and Fit stuff, don't care too much about either.
Now let's go with what I am impressed with. Just from seeing the UI, and hearing it's not packed full of useless S branded crap is a huge plus to me. The fingerprint scanner is pretty nice too.
I know people aren't too keen on Knox, but I'm hoping Samsung did improve on Knox for the corporate sector. The school district I manage the cell phone service for has upgrades coming in a month or two for 90% of the lines, and depending how Knox's security is, this is going to be a deciding factor in the new mobile purchases.

Maybe the version that leaked isn't the premium version. I will pass judgement once the device is officially announced.

I don't like the increases in size and weight, considering it only gets a 0.1" larger screen. The bezels look larger than the S4. Keeping the RAM at 2GB and 16-32GB storage (and, if the past is any indication, 16GB will be the only one readily available) for the 3rd straight generation, while the Note has increased to 3GB/32GB minimum, indicates that this is no longer their flagship phone. I had an S2, skipped the S3, now have an S4, and will skip the S5. Smallest increase in overall specs in the 'S' series yet. Water resistance is nice, but not that big a deal to me. USB3 is a nice upgrade, but that's the only thing that really jumps out at me. Camera is better, but I don't use a camera that much anyways, so doesn't matter to me. VERY happy they are continuing the use of SD cards & removable batteries, though. If I lost my S4 it would be a toss-up for me between the S5 & Note3.

no FM radio
Lack of FM radio is a disappointment. Still prefere phones with good old fashion radio receiver.

i expected more bang, but i guess jumping from my s2 to an s5 is indeed a huge gain!

The design is just...terrible.

I'm glad I purchased a Note 3. The GS5 looks too big to not be in the Note family.

Same RAM, lower perceived screen resolution, same design, really weird UI redesign. Not impressed. Should have been called GS4+
As for the next HTC phone, I have a feeling it will be a disappointment as well.

3 phones I'm interested in, the Z2 (never owned a Sony phone, it may be time), the G3 and iPhone 6. The S5 is a good phone but it just improved the S4. It's a marriage between the S4 and S4 active in what the S4 should have been in the first place. I think if I say S4 once more I'm gonna puke....
Sent from my LG-D950 using Tapatalk

It look like a plan B device. Plan A failed for some reason!!
These specs are unacceptable

Everyone was hyping it to be the next best thing. Even a Samsung exec said that they understood how they failed to innovate with the S4. I even expected it to have the 2k resolution screen and camera with OIS since LG was able to do it a few months ago. Samsung sure made the people who bought the Note 3 feel good about their purchases.

Big disappoiment Nexus 6

I got my new nexus 6 and im very disappointed and let down. At first I thought it was going to be better than the note 4 but it really isn't. Does not feel premium at all, instead it feels cheap, kinda like samsung phones. The blue color that tmobile offers is really ugly, like seriously, midnight blue? Aside from the fact that it has a big screen, it does not offer absolutely nothing, it has zero features to take advantage of the big screen. It doesn't have phablet features to help with the size. The screen is a huge let down it is not even a joke. The iphone 6 has a better screen. The speakers aren't loud but the sound is clear. The camera still blows as usual. I can't believe Google hasn't done anything to improve it. I can't comment on the battery just yet but I'm thinking that it would suck. The ambient display will suck the living out of it. Having said all that, I'm torn to pieces. I'm returning it tomorrow

Its not for everyone. We all knew this.

Uh OK. You obviously don't have the phone. One thing about the x14 and n6 is they feel very premium. Almost wish they were a little more light and less premium as it comes across slippery. Very well made phones. Now move on....

Saw it at T-Mobile store today. Definitely does not feel premium. I'd say the In quality and styling it would be The Note 4 in first place, then the IPhone 6 Plus, then last the Nexus 6. The matte back is a greasy fingerprint magnet like a previous phone I had the Moto G. The screen does look pretty nice and the speakers on the front do sound good and loud. But I'll be sticking with my IPhone 6 Plus.

Cool story, bro.

Give it 3-4 weeks and we'll weed out all the people who pre-ordered just because it was hyped.

I don't like metal phone such as htc one m8 I had for 6-7 month and I really was scared to drop it or scratch it. Plastic phones forever for me. So I not worried about how the phone feels. I am going to get the N6 no matter what

Yup. This is pretty common with every new device release. Within the first month, threads usually pop up stating how they're disappointed with x device and thinking about going back to the phone they already owned or moving onto another.

This!
For those new to XDA, it has been known that once a hot new device hits the market, XDA will be flooded with opinions, assumptions, and disappointments....it never gets old.
Move on people.

Call bullsh!t without pictures. Sounds like a troll from the start.

While its perfectly fine to be disappointed with a phone and want to tell people about it, there is a much better way to do so then what was posted in the OP. Perhaps a constructive breakdown and examples of what is disappointing? The way the OP is laid out, it will only start issues.

No way it could have those specs for $300 when it came out. It was easily a $500 phone at the time. That means it would be well under $200 now, by your logic. Think.

How about these ways:
Camera - that shouldn't be hard. Just have a camera that can actually focus would be great while taking videos
Smaller bezels - I hope, the Nexus 6 has huge bezels which make it really wide, more than it should be
CPU - Even if it is the Snapdragon 810, the gpu is 30% faster. I am sure the overheating issue will be improved upon by now. Could always declock the cpu if needed
Fingerprint reader - Might be really cool, but I can take or leave this
Screen - I was dissapointed in the screen coming from a Note 3 to a Nexus 6. I felt the Note 3 had a brighter, clearer, more vibrant screen. Even if the resolution was lower.
Flat Back - Man it drives me nuts that when I put the N6 on the Qi charger I have to set it soo perfectly.
Just my opinion though.

there was also a coupon code for an extra 45 bucks off. crazy how the price is dropping so much.

doesn't seem to have much information on what type of warranty this nexus 6 has. I'd make sure you find all the information on that first before you buy. Might be better to go with amazon or best buy for the 50 bucks extra to make sure you get a solid warranty with it. If someone finds the information regarding it on this ebay sale please post it.

Timeline of Release

I really hope this comes out before the end of September. That would be really dumb to miss the opportunity to snatch up the upset Samsung customers (we have until 9/30 to exchange Note 7 for new one or change phones).
Why would they not announce the release date at the big conference??

Returned my loaner/bridge phone today,making room for the V20.
Not ruling out picking up the Note 7 again,especially if they beat LG to the punch & have it available again before the V20 hits the street.
JMHO,ya can't go wrong w/either,but,since I've already tried out the Note 7, I'd rather have the V20 at this point.

They really need to get this badboy out and about NOW! The timing couldn't be better!!

I was a bit shocked they didn't do a pre-order for the V20. But still, when they announce a phone and do a press conference, they need to at least give a date on availability even if it is up to the carrier to set price.

i read somewhere the V20 will be available at t-mobile i think the 20th or 23rd of this month

There were rumors of a 9/14 preorder
Sent from my SM-N930T using Tapatalk

I don't plan on picking up another Note 7 until I get a chance to do some hands on with the V20. I'm perfectly happy with my Note 3 at the moment. It's not as fast as the 7 is, but it does everything I need it to.
One thing that really bugged me about the N7 was the WiFi throughput. My N3 is 3-5 times faster copying files from a local samba share on two different wireless lans.
I absolutely love the N7's camera though. Best camera I've ever seen on a phone.
And if LG doesn't get the V20 out by the 30th, I'll just return the N7.

This is one of the big reasons I won't buy a Note 7.
Getting a tempered glass screen protector to work on a curved screen? Nope.
The two phones I'm looking at to upgrade from my G4 are the LG V20 and 128GB Nexus Marlin / Pixel XL
That's mostly a choice between having a removable battery and microsd card reader vs having stock Android and more frequent updates.
I can't understand why the Nexus phones don't have MicroSD card readers, and I would never buy a 32GB phone with no microsd card reader in it. But at least it is possible to charge them with a portable battery.
Also, I won't buy a V20 if it doesn't have the ability to unlock the bootloader.

In time as we only have until the 29th to replace the note 7 right?

I'm hoping for a release and price announcement this week. If the T-Mobile rep was correct with his/her information then pre-orders should begin on Wednesday.
And like most of you have already posted in this thread, I can't wait to trade in my S7 Edge for the V20 and go back to a flat screen. The S7E was the first phone I used with the curved edge and after 6 months of using it I can't stand it. This will be the last time.

As of 9/14/16 @0400 EDT, T-Mobile's site has the LG V10 marked down from $599 to $499,the 1st price reduction since a temporary price break about 10 months ago.

My guess is pre-orders for the LG V20 are imminent,look for it later today if you're going by a reddit post stating 9/14 as the preorder launch date & a retail availability of 9/23/16 (T-Mobile US).
