The Lg nexus 4 will cost $299 off contract for 8 GB and $399 for 16 GB. Who will sell their Gnex for the Nexus 4?
That sucks! I was getting ready to buy the nexus. How am I supposed to buy it now? I mean the nexus 4 won't be out for weeks now plus when it does come out it will be even longer before it can be rooted and have roms. So where am I supposed to buy a new nexus now? Or does anyone know when the new one will be for sale?
On paper the LG looks better, but I will hold on to my Galaxy Nexus. I have always preferred Samsung hardware to LG and I don't think that the LG improvements are mind blowing...
Camera:
8MP sounds 60% better than 5MP. But if you understand digital photography, you know the sensors can vary the quality of the picture greatly.
Quad-core vs. dual-core:
Just cause there are four processors does not mean they are being used properly. The developers have to write the apps to use all four processors effectively and I have not read that this is the case too often.
2GB RAM and 16GB of memory:
Score one for LG
LG with a bigger and better screen:
Point to LG, but can I really tell the difference?
cnet review not exactly glowing:

Never mind, looks like I'll be getting the 4 since it's the same price. Hopefully roms will come fast. This is the phone I wanted anyways but I thought it would be expensive. I'm glad I waited.
Edit: does the 4 have expandable memory?

How about the LG has Gorillia Glass 2.
The LG has glass on the back which would be better build quality then the plastic on the back of the GNexus.
I'll just stick to my Galaxy Nexus. It will eventually get 4.2.
Gorilla Glass:
Not being a smart ass here, I apologize if it sounds like it....What is wrong with the Galaxy Nexus glass? Is Gorilla Glass significantly better?
No Gorilla Glass on the Galaxy Nexus, No Worries – Survives Key Scratch Test with Flying Colors – Droid Life
Glass on back:
Nice aesthetic! But I keep all my phones in a case. So this would not matter to me. And it reminds me of the iphone4 and how slippery it was with two sides of glass.
Don't get me wrong. If I was buying a Nexus today I would not pause at all to buy this one. I just have had better success with Samsung in the past and I don't see any huge leaps forward here that will make me super jealous of Nexus 4 owners. Slightly jealous. Not super.
Does anyone know how the screens compare? Not the glass but the screens...
