Found a few LG Nexus 4 promo pictures

Mods: if this is the wrong forum section sorry, and by all means move to relevant.
Anyway, today i was in my local carphone warehouse and saw these two pictures in a display advert... Clearly shows a few specs of the LG nexus, pictures and price and colour options... Thoughts?

Great find!

Looking good so far...

That vast space on the bottom seems very unappealing...
Unless of course, the on-screen buttons just make it seem so.

Awesome find, op. I am excited the nexus 4 is one of the top contender since it s inception initially then went M.I.A.

Looks nice...wait for more pic

I think it looks a bit so so :L it just doesn't look that appealing to me. I will probs still get it though I have a feeling the 389 will be the 16gb editon and the 8gb willonly be available through Google play.

Hopefully they have them in stock on the tuesday, will pick one up
Were these signs out on display in the main store? Should have asked whether you could buy one today (knowing carphone warehouse some idiot probably would have sold you one)

Phone is looking pretty good, but a little... boring? I'm in doubt about the quality. Imo LG phones nowadays are pretty nice, but the quality is not so good. Too bad.

Lg has never impressed me with any android device. Maybe this will be a big step forward for them. The pic's look very similar to the samsung nexus. suppose to have a quad core on lte that would be nice.

I recommend you to just wait till the phone is in stores available, so you can go there and feel the phone in your hands. For you, your opinion is the most important (compared to others).
Because it's a Nexus phone, all the updates will be served by Google, instead of LG. That's the reason of most people who buy a Nexus phone: the update support.

Is Nexus S still a good buy?

I'm planning on buying a new phone this April after my exams.
My budget is real tight, and it goes upto INR18000-19000 tops ($350 approx by today's rate). I have found A nexus s for real cheap, in new condition on a site. Should I go for it, or should I wait for the s3 mini? Nexus S is a great phone, and as long as it gets the KLP (5.0) update from CM, which I'm quite sure it will, I have no problem with it.
Please advise me. Thanks a bunch in advance!!

Depends on your definition of "real cheap". Sub-$150? Then I'd say go for it.

You can get it cheaper than that. I paid $120 CDN for mine. At that price, you can probably swing a used S3, or even a new Nexus 4.

Nexus 4 not yet released here. Imported at 30k. That's the least price atm. That's around $545....
Sent from my HTC Wildfire S A510e using Tapatalk 2

I wouldn't recommend it. It's definitely showing its age and even a Galaxy S2 would serve you better.

One vote more for S2. S2 is widely spread prices are low. Dont like the looks, but the size is perfect and it's much faster than NS.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda app-developers app

I feel at $350 you would be better off buying an S3 or One X+ and getting it shipped to India. The NS is a great phone, but it's showing it's age.

I'd keep looking, I just bought one for $150 in good shape on craigslist. They were a good bit higher on ebay.
edit: like someone mentioned I have seen decent S3s for about $300, suppose it could be very different where you're at though.

250 for nexus s is too much I think. Ten minutes on sale sites in my country and I found 10 advertisements for the nexus I9250 for max 300 dollars (max price is for one month old). I suggest you to search a little longer or wait a few days. When new nexus will be released in your country, people will start to get rid of the old one to get money for the new (as in here, retail price for nexus is more than 500 dollars here, but nexus 4 its about to launch so people are getting desperate to get money)

Nexus s
You know it for sure?
It's a phone from 2010, so its a bit older.
I have the nexus s for 1.5 year, and i must say I'm still happy with it.
One coin, I have a nexus s with the "unresponsive touchscreen" problem.
Sometimes after unlocking the device there some unresponsive spots on the screen. This is easy to fix. (turn on/of the screen)
Its a hardware problem, but only some nexus s devices have that problem
When you find a good deal, i say buy it! But when you have the money to buy a newer devices, i should buy a newer one

Yup. Agree with all of you. Probably getting an SGS3 Mini. Suits my needs, and its new too!

Tell me where I can get a N4 for less than 300$
I have been looking for a replacement for my NS, that is starting to get old + much random reboots. The cheapest Nexus 4 I can find from ebay is about 550$, and the local shops sell it for 800$.
From what I've heard, it is pretty cheap in countries like Germany, where it is available from Google Play. I really wish Google Play would sell it's devices to Finland...

Maybe worth the $40/month to pick this phone up?

Well, I've wanted this phone since it came out.. I know the S4 is out there but not for Verizon.. I'm wondering if it's worth still picking up for an extra phone to play with and root? Amazon Wireless has it for $19.99 and it's only $40/month for my plan to add a line... Worth the additional line to be able to play around with it? I know it's another contract or whatever ...

S3 will still be a good phone for atleast another year or so, especially with the community it has. Roms keep getting better and better

Imo, I'd pay for it. The d2vzw has a huge developement community, so you'll have plenty to tinker with.

14 Day Return Window - G3?

Curious what everyone thinks about the new LG G3 and whether or not you'd trade your M8 in for it if you were within the 14 Day Return Window.

G3 is cool, but it won't have the same feel, definitely not as smooth as the m8.
Pros:
Better screen
Less bezel
Lighter
Better rear camera
Cons:
Worse battery life
Phone gets too hot faster
Stupid rear buttons
Worse front facing camera
Not as fast as sense
That's at least what I've been reading, I wouldn't switch. And who knows if it'll have an unlocked bootloader.

I agree!!

If the G3 were to get rooted and bootloader unlocked, I might consider it. Otherwise, no chance.

That "better" screen on the G3 is actually the cause of most of the cons you listed. It kills the battery and causes the phone to lag from the extra work it has to do to render it. The general consensus seems to be that the screen is actually the biggest fault in the phone, and a good 1080p screen could have made it perfect.

That was something I was aware of, power hungry screen = hot phone, less battery. Definitely not needed, but the resolution is a huge selling point for them. They wouldn't be able to get as many sales with the same quality screen as the S5 or M8. Samsung would wipe them clear off the map.

You do realize Samsung Android devices account for the majority of all Android devices? Which is unfortunate, because they suck, but saying "You suck if you got beat by Samsung" is pretty inane.

A buddy just got the T-Mobile LG3 and we ran some benchmarks. Granted, this phone is 100% stock and I'm running GPE (not OC'd) on the M8 but he scored 22100 in Quad and I scored 24500. He scored 32000 in Antu and I scored 34000.
The LG3 is just a little too big for my taste. I have never owned an LG phone but my M7 was my first HTC. Was all Samsung before that. I'm sticking with my M8 until the M9 comes out and has S-Off.

A lot of the phones you can buy from the pre-paid carriers are cheap...what's your point? Not everyone can shell out $300 for a brand new phone. My cousin just bought a S3 because that's all he could afford (free being what he could afford).

My point is if u flood the market with tons of devices for free of course your going to have the most out there active in the market..as most people can't afford a high end phone an the government isn't buying them one of those.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about how people bash Samsung for making "cheap low cost" phones when there's a market for them as not everyone has the resources to shell out hundreds of dollars on a phone.
I applaud Samsung for reaching out to all types of consumers.

Upgrade Nexus 5 to...?

I would like to upgrade my phone soon, but with the Nexus 6 disappointment I have no idea what to. I would like at least 32gb of storage, good camera, and better battery life than the nexus 5. I was looking at the G2, but it has to have 1700/2100 AWS frequencies. Any suggestions?

The N5 is a budget smartphone, and was dirt cheap for what you got. You cant expect every phone out there to follow the same pricing model. I dont know why you think it's disappointing, it's a 2014 smartphone with 2014 specs. It has the same specs as the S5, HTC One M8, G3, but better build quality and performance, and cheaper than all of them. Just wait for the sale that you mentioned, thats an amazing price. And yeah it has the same GPU as the N5 but it is clocked higher, and side by side it is noticeably faster and smoother than the N5 is.

check the new Asus Zenfone 2 (Intel Atom, 4GB RAM)
