So i kind of fell out of the phone loop after my One X was stolen and had to use my POS Samsung Infuse. My taxes are coming in and i want to get a new phone again. I been debating on the Nexus 4 because the specs look pretty beefy and the reviews have been good, plus i like the ascetic to it. I'm just leery about it since LG doesn't have the greatest track record on phone since the G2x was a HUGE disappointment to me and the HTC G1 and G2 where my favorite all time phones. So in a nutshell, what phone would you suggest and why (also i don't want a note to, i don't like the size of it. 4.7-4.8 is perfectly fine for me.) But thanks in advance.
N4. G2x wasn't a nexus so a lot of stuff wasn't open source. That's why it was a mess. I still miss my g2x tho
JellyB-TSM v16 / Apex Pro

It was a decent phone but it was way too buggy even if you flashed a new rom like Weapon. But like in said the reviews look great the only discerning thing is LG's track record and I don't want to wait weeks for it it. Plus I'm not sure if any decent phones are coming out in Q1 or Q2. I'm not going to get the S4 just because of how fast they come out and people jump ship to the new flagship Galaxy S phone.

Try Sony xperia s
DONT FORGET TO HIT THANKS.......
R: What new phone should i get?
I'm actually thinking of upgrade to an xperia Z. It will be worldwide released soon. It gas awsome specs falso if for some a bit old(the processor) but it is dust proof and waterproof. And last but notte least Sony already released his kernel sources, so there will be really good developing!!!

Oh, no !
The Galaxy Nexux is also smaller than the Galaxy Note.
Sweet stuff, could definitely come in handy when looking into a new phone
It is just the size, I mean you could go to the store and check out how it feels, etc.
really good man.. nice,..

You want to see the size of the Galaxy Note then! (Awesome device btw)
Also a 7" "phone" has already been done by Samsung - the Galaxy Tab (well not if you lived in the USA, but here in Europe you could call people on it). But it doesn't fit in trouser pockets like a phone should whereas the Note does I'm thankful to say.
And what with the 7.7", 8.9" and 10.1" tabs and the rest of their phones Samsung has covered pretty much every screen size from 3"-10"!
There are missing phones. Some old ones and other new ones that you should add e.g. Xperia X10 Mini Pro.
Thanks for posting this. I was considering upgrading my Droid Inc to an Inc2 but after looking at them realized that the resolution is the same.
droid 3 .
Good find. Been looking for this kind of info.
4.0 or 4.3 would be nice.
holy crap the galaxy note is gunna need 2 hands :3
Hello
Im looking to get a tablet and iv noticed that the Galaxy Nexus 7 tablet seems to get some pretty good feedback, and the price seems very nice.
I will most likely use the tablet to watch movies, play games, do school work and surf on the nett a bit.
Can someone confirm it is a good tablet for my use?
Thanks =)

Yes, yes, yes. Got one for work demo purposes and love it. Going to get one for personal use as well I reckon.
The voices in my head are telling me to buy one, £200 for a tablet with those specs is a bargain, but my wife is telling me no
So far she's winning, but if it had 3G I'd give my works crappy ipad3 back and get myself a nexus7
Yeah, get one .
Nexus 7 is awesome , meanwhile, you can consider Galaxy Note 10

Don't listen to your wife! :laugh: Nothing good ever came out of listening to your wife / girlfriend.
Be advised...it is not a GALAXY Nexus 7. Galaxy is a Samsung trademark. The tablet is made by Asus. It is just a Nexus 7.
Unless you can get one of the older tablets for much cheaper, N7 is best deal by far.
It is not called GALAXY Nexus 7

Hi guys here, I'm back !
My "old" but like new shape Atrix 2 was in dry cabinet for 8 months. Now it has been replaced with good mother board that came from broken screen one.

---------------------------------------------------
Been Atrix 2's user for 5 months. It's a very good phone with many advantages over other that I've ever used : rock build with manly body shape, runs fast and fast even at stock Rom, battery so good right out of the box and phone always be cool during of heavy using...
But unlucky for me, just a moment that I could not be patient anymore and made huge mistake and my phone gone to the hell forever
Now I switched to Google Nexus S with very cheap price for ~$150 and flash cooked Rom every ... hour ! OMG, I so wonder if an obsolete hardware like it can runs very fast and smooth with ICS or JB, even with all procedures in touch CWM : flashing, booting, backup and restoring etc... so fast.
I just need about 3 mins done for a every new Rom (including flashing + booting). So surprise !
Thanks all of you guys here. I've had lot of happy time here. Good luck to all !
Be happy with our Atrix 2 ! Goodbye !
So long, and enjoy the new phone! Feel free to stop in and say hello from time to time, specially after Jim finally unlocks that pesky bootloader!

This phone is very old man! Development is definitely above average. I would suggest a different phone though as it's outdated and you have much better alternatives. Look for moto g or moto g2(if you can wait)
I will buy this phone because is at $100 dollars and Moto G is at $200.
An underrated classic
I have mine rooted, tweaked and overclocked to 1333 mhz. It's Antutu benchmarking at 13611 which is faster than many medium grade phones coming out now. I also picked up the lapdock from eBay for 60 and ever since I've not been relying on my laptop for writing, emailing, watching movies or surfing the Web ever since. As soon as there is compelling reason I imagine I'll try upgrading to kitkat but it's running so smooth fast and solidly now I'm afraid to risk it. Be advised however, the kitkat and jellybeans ROMs break the HDMI function I. E. Lapdock-ability.

You will run into battery issues which is not a happy thing when you buy a new phone. Seriously, even though the hardware is still good, the age of the phone is more than 3 years. It was made for android 2.3... and barely got ICS update officially. There should be better investment for $100.
I finally buy a Moto G in my country (Chile) for $150

First since lg L7 I've been buying all LG phones i was a fan of LG ..but now after G4 and G5 i am going back to samsung or nexus devices .. I had enough of LG no updates i had my last update on November.. No support no bootloader unlock no root .. And a lot of bugs and hardware issues ..after few days of using V10 the volume down button doesn't work .. And even with updates Korea goes first and then Turkia and Poland and it keeps going like that then the last one is international variant so i am sick of waiting for updates and i think theres many other ppl who are selling their LG phones and going back to king of phones samsung and nexus

SHAME ON YOU LG...
Wow I don't get it. I love love love this phone. Great battery life, never any lag, great radios, I even love the second screen - it may be my favorite feature.
But to each his or her own. Good luck with new phone

Interesting considering LG makes the Nexus 5X, Samsung has gone the apple route by making batteries not removable. Not to mention the Qualcomm 820 overheating issues (Samsung S7) causing the cpu to throttle back performance.
To each is own though, I love the second screen, the performance, the removable battery and external memory support.
Have fun with Samsung with their extremely bloated phones and their apple wannabe behavior.
If I wanted an iPhone, I'd buy an iPhone.. Not a Samsung knockoff.
The good thing about this is that there are many new phones on the second hand market plus companies get money for free. And some guys never will be happy and will never find the perfect phone since there are new devices knocking on the door. If you wanna be happy, buy an iPhone. They release phones only once a year so one can be happy for at least one hole year. What's the problem with LG - an Korean company - to first release software in their home market? Also they sell more phones in Korea than in the US.
People like to whine...LG v10 is a fabulous phone. No complaints from this power user!
