Its not meant to be flagship model of LG the manufacturer.

Its meant to be the flagship of GOOGLE

i take back my word....suddenly fell in love with this lg n4....already has nexus 7, they gonna make love everyday

Well, he clearly indicated that he meant LG's flagship model. We all know that Nexus is under Google.

Try to access PlayStore and see if you can find Nexus 4 in your play store without using VPN.

Unless you're from overseas then sure you can see. Just not in malaysia

what if your nexus 7 is a male then your future nexus 4 is also a male....

lol even if optimus g cheaper or on par with nexus, i still won't choose LG.
they are very slow in updating OS. In this case, probably making the update available for LG phones.
at least for nexus, u get it direct from google.

i also coming from apple background
the 3gs era
this is my first android phone
hopefully it is as good as iphone's ownership experience, if not better

One thing you dont know as you come from apple.
LG only manufacture the hardware of Nexus 4, all the software will come DIRECT from GOOGLE.
No involvement of LG anymore. So, u dont need to worry about all the update.

sorry to disappoint u, but if u r talking about services (warranty claim, customer service etc.), not many company can compete with APPLE, especially not small players (mobile products) like LG. but if u r talking about the functionality of the device itself, then u r safe, u will love Nexus devices. and I hunger for LG Nexus for a long time because LG makes (one of) the best hardware on the market, the build quality is tip top (even if it's plastic) and it's IPS screen is better than Samsung's super AMOLED (in my personal opinion), the colour is just amazing and very natural. The worst bit of LG is it's slow updates but being a Nexus, it solves all its flaws. this is the perfect phone for me.

Pity Nexus manufacturer always need to release 2 devices with spec so similar. Like slapping own face with own hand.

Nexus S vs Galaxy S
Nexus vs... Tak tau
LG N4 vs LG Optimus G

Then Nexus price is set by Google.
Say Google sell Nexus at RM1400. Their optimus G cannot be priced much higher than that because ppl will just omit the SD Card slot and get Nexus 4
Say... If Nexus 4 RM1400, Optimus G RM1700... Which one will you guys get? I mean if both is Ori from Local LG

Agreed that IPS is better than AMOLED (Super or non Super). Even iPhones use IPS display. AMOLED looks very saturated and blurry at times

no competition, u can't compare a Nexus with any other android phones. I will only get a Nexus. all other android phones are crap because u won't know when the manufacturer will 'forget' to update them, just like the Desire HD I'm using now, it was the flagship of HTC and HTC denied us the ICS update. and my other phone, the LG Optimus 2X hasn't even got any news about it's ICS update yet, it's THAT BAD. both phones also now using custom JB roms.

This.I've owned more than 3 LG phones in the past and they all have superior build quality over other brands.One of them survived a toilet bowl drop and washing machine wash.

before apple i own 2 LG phones, KU990 and Secret, two top of the line and flagship phone from LG
that time their software update is so shitty that it makes their top of line phones laggy and buggy

i understand that android comes from google but still if with optimus g i think LG still need to roll out the android update (without 3rd party mod). (i was talking abt lg optimus, not nexus)

If you're picky to colour and needs accurate colour, IPS/PLS/SLCD is what you need.

But to majority ppl, even though not accurate, those over saturated colours are more pleasing to eyes.

Another advantage of SAmoled is response time. LCD technology can only manage fastest 1ms + - response time while SAmoled is at the range of 10us (micro)

Actually SAmoled will be good if it's calibrated since it's capable of displaying 140% of the Standard RGB Gamut, means it's capable of displaying all the required colours in media content. It's just displaying too much of them. But I read an article saying that calibration of SAmoled is hard and complex due to the lifespan of each sub pixel of different colour. Anyway, Samsung has proven that even with such over saturated device, its flagship Galaxy S series still sells so well. What's the problem?

I'm using Galaxy Nexus which I must say the SAmoled HD (it's the first SA HD anyway) on this is not good enough and the pixel is still noticeable (due to pentile thingy). It should be fixed in GNote 2 SAmoled with the new sub pixel config.

Don't mind if tl;dr

sometime we can't blame manufacture also, is due to local distributor policy on claim, after sale service and so on ....

i just recall samsung galaxy S with faulty gps (not accurate), when we complaint to local samsung, their response is rude and brainless (they claim they don't make gps chip n satelite), really screw them ...
but in UK, US and aus, u can walk in to in samsung dealer and they replace a new working unit .....

that is main different, because our law is strong enoguh to protect purchaser ...

That part, is due to Samsung's aggressive marketing strategy. Consumers believed that Super AMOLED is the best display out there, just like how Apple claim about their Retina Display IPS display. Same thing, its just the matter of how well you market product even if they are shitty.

You mean our law is strong enough to protect seller isit?

Yup..when buying any Samsung phone..make sure you check EVERYTHING first before take it home. Once you step out from the shop..bye bye for any 1 to 1 replacement policy. Be it from the shop or from Samsung.
Btw..how's LG handle warranty claim..is it any good..?

our law is protect money, who got more money, who win ....

i love whatever sexual orientation they are, so no big problem for me
