QUOTE(IwanAGP @ Nov 4 2012, 12:26 AM) The price for nexus 4 maybe is the price on your left See <-- <-- <-- You see it?  True... Front and back are gorilla glass. Not 'entirely' but most of the area is glass  don't get what you mean though. Really, what is the expected price for this phone? I am actually thinking about this phone and note 2. Gonna get a phone any moment soon. If this phone come with a great positive review. I guess i will try this phone. But i have not much confident in LG.

QUOTE(green_algae @ Nov 4 2012, 01:27 AM) better screen size,s pen and many more.the back and the front of the phone is covered with gorrila glass 2(doesnt scratch easily but can and will crack upon hiting a hard surface),but can buy some casing to protect the back. I remember in the nexus 4 intro video, they do mention that they design the edge slightly curve out so that when falling, it will hit the edge first before hitting the glass. IMHO, unless fall on very uneven surface then it will not break easily.

Is LG reliable? in terms of updates,no worries coz its a google product.the service centre's is quite limited coz lg isnt a popular phone brand in malaysia.

guys, i'm new here and i was wondering, if i got a friend to buy the nexus 4 from lets say australia and bring it to malaysia for me, would be it risky? Would our malaysian service providers(eg. maxis) work on it?

Im not sure how LG will treat their devices but i know for my nexus 7, Asus gives a global limited warranty and if the country you are in has an official Asus service store , and if u have the original receipt and everything you can send it there. hopefully lg has the same thing.

I am not worry about the OS performance but rather the spec performance. Like Sony Acro S, although it's similar with s2 specs, but the performance isnt that great. My own usage review.

QUOTE(AmeiN @ Nov 3 2012, 11:55 PM) No.. Rubberize material on charger will stick up with Nex4 back(glass?).. No, it actually has magnets. I don't know how strong and I doubt strong enough for a car ride but its magnetised nonetheless EDIT: http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569230...b-touchstone-qiThis post has been edited by mrteeheetummytums: Nov 4 2012, 01:23 AM

My own usage review. maybe because sony isnt that great in making the OS, be rest assure with google phone it will always be smooth, smoothness is not just about hardware, it about software mostly, even the lowest spec can be smooth if the OS is great (see iphone, low spec, but first few months is smooth, LOL)

Stock android also consumes less memory and CPU power and Google will optimize the software and hardware to be a perfect blend .

QUOTE(trellva @ Nov 3 2012, 07:35 PM) True,, that is one thing that's going against nexus 4 at the moment...LG phones have very limited presence in Malaysia. its just nowhere near as big as the other brands htc, Samsung and apple. does anyone have any experience with warranty claims with LG Malaysia? I don't think warranty will be a problem as long as the unit is ori or Thorus set.. just might to find the limited service centre around region.. and need to wait a bit longer for repair.. as I concern, LG phone build quality kinda better than htc, samsung..solid, less hardware problem compare to others.. even with lack of support, LG phone might be able to sustain user need by tackle the quality of it..

My own usage review. can define the different ??? what is slow ? that a lot reason to make phone slow, for example : slow os, add on widget, low spec or worst, move app to sd card, even worst use low class sd card ......
