Added on October 30, 2012, 12:45 amIt's funny at the official blog that mentions 4.2 as an "improved version Jelly Bean", guess they still want to keep the name secret?

i bet there sure will be a lot of importer brows.gif for this , bought unlocked in the listed countries ( UK, US , FRance) , come sell here .lol .

direct conversion should be around 1.2k i guess add on with the gst / bla bla etc .
direct conversion

USD 3.1 Rate

349 x3 .1 = 1081 ( exclude freight charges)


the best is ask friend from overseas to bring it back brows.gif

judging by the price of the Nexus 7, our price should be closer to Australian pricing. So I'm guessing a 1299 retail here. Still pretty damn good price though.

I'm waiting to see how Google & LG will handle the firmware and stuff.
If it's anything like the whole yakju debacle Samsung had with my Galaxy Nexus, where I had to flash stock "pure Google" yakju firmware just to get updates on time, then I'll pass on this one and probably wait a year to see what Jolla (ex Meego) and Firefox OS come up with before deciding.

Looks like a decent piece of hardware though, and I must admit the price is quite attractive. Storage space seems a problem (sorry, I don't trust "the cloud"), but I don't really play games like The Bard's Tale (3GB+) on the phone anyway.

LG have a decent presence here in Singapore where I live. Maybe you can order one from SG instead. Might even save you a few bucks compared to importing from US/AU/TW/etc.

IPS is better than the fake oversaturated colour you get from Amoled, imho. Only advantage Amoled has is the deep black. IPS tends to have wider gamut, and newer IPS screens tend to draw less power than even the latest Samoled variants. Plus, I've yet to see any Amoled display come close to the color rendition of the S-LCD2 IPS on the HTC One X.

Then again, it's all to do on the quality of IPS display. For the price they're selling teh Nexus 4 at, I doubt they'll be using a top-of-the-line Sharp IGZO panel. If it's close to the HTC One X, I'll be happy.

Personally, have not tried them but my friends who did, says they are reliable. But they may jack up package weight fees to charge higher shipping. I intend to buy both the nexus 4 and 10 and from their website, based on a 3kg package, the shipping rate is less than usd 50 for 2 day priority shipping to Malaysia. I am not sure if google charges shipping to send to hopshopgo warehouse but even if they do, charges should be minimal.

As for tax, computers are not taxable. Only thing is the phone which may require sirim approval but some say for personal use, less than 3 units, that requirement is waived

~RM1100 for a Nexus 4. That is a crazy price. I bought my Nexus S for RM2000 two years ago. Will probably get my cousin to buy it from the US.

You should keep your GNex bro. Nexus phone meant to be used until it cannot be updated anymore.
Btw..same here. If below RM1500 i might get one oso biggrin.gif

yeah, i sold the S2 at an even higher price than Gnex based on the life span of the phone.

the pricing for nexus 7 = $249 and asus selling here is RM999
so even at an inflated price, nexus 4 should not be more thant RM1500

The first few ( i think 3-4 of them ) paid RM 2800 for it than follow by RM 2300-2500 !!! I paid RM 2400 ( AP set) for it but sold it after 3+ months for RM 1800+ and bought it back again few months ago for RM 1100 ( SME set ) !!
So see the price differences. If you can wait, 6 months time is the best pricing after official release

Google already asked HTC to built HTC Nexus One.
So HTC's chance is already over.

Corning Gorilla 2 front and back and Sony's camera module.
Good specs for the next Nexus and the price means a flagship Android with a mid-range price = Nexus going mainstream.

I am speculating for that price Google is selling it at cost.

not sure u heard this be4 but phones actually cost at a fraction of what we pay..
take ip4/s/5 pay 2k? maybe 300>500 is the actual manufacturing price.
economics efficiency and mass production will lower costs
glass treated with corning should be dirt cheap too
esp when they can make large 20mx20m and slice them up into small screens
components are a childs play. assembly is the main cost (labor cost)

correct me if im wrong, read an article for my research last time.

I am not complaining man, is a win for consumers especially if you have a tight budget, most flagship phone cost around rm2k out in the market.

Regarding the iPhone, it is a huge margin for 'em.

Do not worry about it. I used to have Xperia P now Nexus 7. Both are sealed and to hard reboot, just press the power button for more than 10 seconds. No issue.

For Nexus 7 you can straight hard reboot to fastboot mode. Just press the volume button and power for more than 10 seconds. Happened to me quite a few times coz of bad ROM installation.

Google phone normally doesnt not hav MicroSD 1.
They make it tat way mayb due to cheaper price.

Makes sense also. Everything must be cloud-based.

Correct, it's a Google flagship phone.
Maybe it's due to piracy issue?
Noticed that ICS and above, they've disabled "move to SD card" feature.

Probably ask a friend from the US to ship over to me. I'm pretty optimistic that the Nexus 4 will arrive here only next year. But the only problem is the charging port and warranty. hmmm

judging from the price of nexus 7 which is rm999 (us 249), the price here should be around rm1400-1500 max..extra 300 to 400 bucks compare to US..not forget the price tag us$349 haven include the state tax yet..

however, rm1.1k-1.2k sound like impossible..

RM1300-1400 is what i expect, if LG does what Asus does.

But RM1100 - 1200 may happen.

Still even if LG follows Asus footstep, it is still competitively priced here.

Seriously, considering the state of the mobile connection in Malaysia and how it is priced (internet service), who would even consider 8gb?

Seriously ? Now we are discussing the 299$ version pricing .
Don drag unrelated things into this discussing .
Sure i know 16gb is btter than 8gb . Even my grandma know bigger number is better , but its unrelated with the price estimate .

And pls don use ur personal favor as "everyone" .
At least for me i will consider the 8GB version if it is cheap enough .

You mean you are discussing about the 8gb version, we are discussing the Nexus 4 in general, didn't see the OP specifically stating 8GB in the Title. And no offense taken from you, I am just giving a general idea of what to go for and what not to considering all the limitations that our country has.

Last time G.Nex outright price $399, and it was sold 2099 RRP (according to Digi RRP Price).

So now 8GB Nexus 4 $299, can we estimate RRP is around 299/399 * 2099 = RM1572+- ?

16GB 349$ = Rm999 impossible to be 1.1-1.2k already .

Phone is different from tablet as it consist tax , and then local distributer will jack up abit like nexus 7 .
Perhaps Rm1499 seem like legit guess hmm.gif hmm.gif

Anyway , it already in my wishlist for 8gb/16gb depend on price blush.gif blush.gif

Nexus 7 is priced RM999, in USD that's $326 around the local stores here in Malaysia, it's about 30% more than the original launch price in USA.

In US it is priced as USD $249 that's roughly RM 760+ according to google,

it's safe to assume that $349(16gb)= 1068 + 30% = roughly around 1380 - 1400.

That's just my assumption tho, it may differ.

Yup, we are assuming that the price region will be within there. Even after tax in the US, should be around 1.3k after conversion (inclusive of shipping and tax). So 1499 is possible thumbup.gif

another alternative for me to choose other than note 2. worth the wait since the time is coming.

I'm starting a bulk for the Nexus 4 soon. Would anyone like to order it? I'm estimating around RM1.2k for the 8GB and RM1.4k for the 16GB.

I'm in the USA at the moment so there's no problem ordering it on my side and distribution of the phone will be done by my friend in Malaysia. wink.gif

This phone is a downright steal, considering the specs, if it were in any other none nexus phone the rrp would be around 2k give or take 200rm. For such a cheap price 1,5k and below its a definite must buy....however iam a bit worried, for Google to sell it for so cheap they must be cutting corners some where...

they are selling this phone in near cost price, they are targeting ppl buying apps from the play store, it's like genting organizing concerts but loosing money on every one of them, only to be covered by other types of revenues (f&b, hotel and casino)

Send it back to the seller you brought it from to claim? Well that is until LG makes the Nexus 4 official in Malaysia and you could asking them to repair.

Added on October 30, 2012, 12:45 amIt's funny at the official blog that mentions 4.2 as an "improved version Jelly Bean", guess they still want to keep the name secret?

It's still Jelly Bean. Just like Android 2.0 and 2.1, both were named 'Eclair' back at the time..

why why why non removeable battery? dont feel like prying open the case to change the batt if want use it for long term.. is this their planned obsolescent for the phone?? imagine charging the phone everyday for a year, that is already using up half of the typical 500 recharge cycle of li-ion batt.. sure noticeable capacity drop.. so now no need to pamper the amoled, but the battery .. urgg!

LG have a decent presence here in Singapore where I live. Maybe you can order one from SG instead. Might even save you a few bucks compared to importing from US/AU/TW/etc.
IPS is better than the fake oversaturated colour you get from Amoled, imho. Only advantage Amoled has is the deep black. IPS tends to have wider gamut, and newer IPS screens tend to draw less power than even the latest Samoled variants. Plus, I've yet to see any Amoled display come close to the color rendition of the S-LCD2 IPS on the HTC One X.

Then again, it's all to do on the quality of IPS display. For the price they're selling teh Nexus 4 at, I doubt they'll be using a top-of-the-line Sharp IGZO panel. If it's close to the HTC One X, I'll be happy.
*
To prove you're wrong. There's no LCD (IPS, PLS, whatever) in the market that achieve 100% gamut. While Super AMOLED...

QUOTE
The Super AMOLED display on the Samsung Galaxy S was measured to reproduce way more than the standard color gamut – 140% of it, to be precise, and the colors look rather overblown, which most users find very appealing. Samsung Mobile Display has supposedly toned down the gamut span and color saturation with Super AMOLED Plus, but from the looks of it the difference, while there, is minimal.

CPU/GPU (Chipset): S4 Pro Quad Core Krait 1.5GHz, Adreno 320 is currently the best is the market. Exynos 5250 should be on par or a little bit lower in performance at CPU since it's dual core vs quad core anyway... GPU in Exynos 5250 (T604) is currently the most powerful in market. Anyway... S4 Pro chipset is the best in market for the time being. So... It's not just 'Good'. You can call it 'Best' before Samsung release thei Exynos 54XX series and NovaThor release their A9500 series laugh.gif

No card slot is fine for 16GB but not for 8GB. I listen to music a lot that I can't live without storing them offline in the phone. *Don't ask me to use cloud since I might need 10GB quote per month for that tongue.gif*

personally i dun think LG will price the nexus 4 below rm1500 if they bring in the optimus g together with nexus 4...as from past record, LG always price their flagship model around rm1900 to 2k...so if they sell the nexus 4 below 1.5k, it will affect the sales of optimus g a lot (consider both phone hv almost same spec)...do correct me if i m wrong... smile.gif

dont forget that lg optimus G phones got memory card slot and may also comes with lte.. where the nexus 4 lacks.. but if the price do climb to something impossible.. we could always opt for import sets.. ive used tmobile nexus s and uk galaxy nexus before.. last till this very moment..

well.. as long as its a nexus.. you can rest assure the experience is different coz lg will not touch it anymore.. im saying this because i used both the galaxy s and the nexus s before.. hardware wise.. they are about the same.. but pure google and touchwiz is so much of a different.. you can feel that samsung based phones are so slow especially during the RFS time on the galaxy S1.. in this case, LG will produce the hardware and anything else will be handled by google.. and from the past nexus experience.. i think google approved quite a decent hardware..

For non heavy user, I have to say the GNex is still very impressive. For that RM1.1 ~ 1.2k ori set, you're looking at least another 1 and a half year of official support from Google from now on.

If we're talking about unofficial support, well, Nexus device have been proven to have the best community support since like, ever.. I just love that Nexus Root Toolkit which supports most, if not all, Nexus device.

I think why LG want to make front and back glass is because wireless charging. If I'm not wrong only plastic (which S3 and Note2 does it) and glass can passthrough the electric.

Well done Google. You did it again.

First hand? I don't think so.. 2nd hand? Plenty I believe. I bought mine back in July for RM1050 via Mudah.

That's why I said I love Nexus device, coz the program made by them hackers/programmers called Nexus Root Toolkit is super simple and easy to use. Everything in 1 program. Inside, some instructions on how to setup the drivers, then you're good to go. I just did mine a week ago.

The program doesn't run well on Windows 8 for now though.. =P

the only reason for upgrading is the battery life.. if the new nexus 4 can last at least 14-16 hours on a single charge compared to my normal usage of the gnex which took 8-9 hours.. i will consider getting this phone.. technically.. the specs are positive on battery life with the new low power processor and the larger capacity battery.. i will wait for the full review before im getting my hands on it..

Almost the same case with me but since the TV out doesn't work well on custom ROMs, I decided to stay vanilla. Hence, I still need that thing to backup my entire phone since I didn't install custom recovery for that purpose. I bought a Nexus coz I want stock Android and everything else fully supported, officially. =)

I really want those shortcuts on the notification tab though, so I'm glad 4.2 will bring that to me.. =D

by right, Australians should buy the n4/n10 at a cheaper price
cuz now we are buying us at 103 cents per dollar. thumbup.gif

so as stated 349 and 399 is a pain in the GST..

I do not understand why some people are very kiasu with non-removable battery? Surely the manufacturer has implant a way to reboot the device if it becomes unresponsive. This is a basic thing to do. Do not say custom ROM will hang the phone, even stock with bad apps also will make the phone freeze.

Did you considered Apple as the 'manufacturer'?
iOS also will hang. If hang then really need wait battery finish laugh.gif

Not kiasu... It's just preference. Why so many ppl still use One X and iPhone? Those who said don't like the non-removable battery is just their personal preference. Why care so much? sweat.gif

I'm in Android thread, not Apple. Thus Apple is not in the discussion.

And this user preference will drag this wonderful thread to no where.

If the user says "Sealed battery... not my cup of tea", I'm ok with it but most of em said "Sealed battery, if hang how? If freeze how to reboot?"

For me I did not care much, but I prefer to use power button instead of "cabut-able" battery. I wish my Gnex is same as N7 when it hangs. Just press the button and not so hassle to take it out from casing and remove the "fragile" back cover.

iPhones will also hang sometimes, I am sure every phone does. But there are plenty of alternative ways to reboot the device without even thinking of 'replaceable batteries'. The easiest way, plug in the power cable, or you can always hold on to the power button while holding the home button for 10 secs. It will kick up the phone again thumbup.gif

I'm sure the manufacturer will have a way for us to turn-off the phone with "non removal" battery...
FYI, you can force-turn off the iphone with holding the home and sleep button together...

Doubt LG will mark up like Apple, because the demand is not there. LG is considered as a smaller brand, compared to brands like Samsung, HTC and Apple. So if a smaller brand marks up the price of their products, the chances of not doing well is pretty high laugh.gif

I am still hoping RAZR MAXX HD will come to Malaysia, otherwise this should be the phone to go for me. Other than storage size and battery life, the phone seems perfect.

You must not forget, the sellers in Malaysia will sell in a MUCH higher price, and they will give lots of reason like shipping costs, tax etc to rationalize it.

Go to Anantech;
You'll see that the iPhone 5 has the widest colorspace of any display, and it's a Sharp designed IPS. You can keep your phonearena (these people write reviews after a single day of use, I give them no credibility whatsoever) scores and whatnot. All I know is that nobody in the graphic arts space (think Eizo Coloredge monitors) is even investing in Amoled, simply because they never get true rendition.

I'm not saying it's bad. If you prefer your display to look like it's from some anime, than by all means go ahead. I prefer the more accurate rendition from IPS displays. Note: I can only speak for current tech. Maybe Samsung or Japan Display will come up with some newtype OLED tomorrow, I dunno.

Users of the 8GB Nexus 7 reported having around 5.8GB free. A cellular phone obviously has a bit more applications and libraries installed compared to a wifi-only tablet, so I'm guessing you'll have around 5.5 GB free on a fresh new 8GB Nexus 4.

Nexus 4 8GB + Cloud Storage (Dopbox and Google Drive) would be the best way i can enjoy latest nexus device with less budget. I hope the LG built quality are on par or better than Samsung.

I had contact Newegg MY about importing in Nexus 4 from overseas, but there is a problem about the SIRIM approval. They dont know how much each phone will be charges for that approval before they can be imported in.

if he claim it as a gift i think can lepas punya. Or claim that phone is owned by him. Dont put inside the box.

Got info, the duty import for bringing in Gadget, Device from outside wont cause too much compared to the "jack price" by local distributors. biggrin.gif

I'm still undecided. The price will no doubt be attractive, but I like having multiple ecosystems. Already have a Galaxy Nexus (which I don't like) and Nexus7 (which I love), so I might go back to iOS and get an iPhone5 (I live in SG, and Singtel has LTE already, so I might switch from Starhub to Singtel) or maybe wait till the end of the year to see what Jolla (formerly Meego) announce. If I decide to stick with Android on the phone, than I'll keep my current 3.5G plan and get this Nexus 4.

Along with the announcement of the storage space bump and a new connectivity option, Google also announced something rather exciting – new prices. I’m sure not everyone requires such huge storage space, if you’re still a fan of non-3G flavor of Nexus 7 and don’t mind a lower storage space, the 16GB Nexus 7 is now even more affordable at only USD$199; I hope this price change will be reflected on our local Nexus 7 as well. The 32GB version will retail at USD$249 while the 32GB and HSPA+ Nexus 7 will have a price tag of USD$299. Just a quick recall, the Apple iPad mini 32GB Wi-Fi + Cellular model retails at USD$559. As expected, all Nexus 7 will be shipped with the latest Android 4.2 on board. Android 4.2 is still known as Jelly Bean by the way, but it does come with a whole host of new improvements and features.

so usd 199 * 0.3279 = 606.8498(US price)
local price RM999 - 606.8498 = RM392.1502(mark up price)??? more than half price profit(64.62%)???

849 - 606.8498 = 242.1502??? what kind of shipping cost??? tongue.gif

ps: asus nexus 7 is shipping from china to malaysia, not from US to malaysia, because the device is made in china...

i think the shipping cost high, maybe they ship the device to US, then ship again to malaysia? laugh.gif

Personal preference. I just don't like Samsung. Everything they make (except washing machines) has had terrible reliability in my experience. Had to exchange the GalNex twice under warranty (first for dead touchscreen, second for dead everything) and even now the current one's battery life has deteriorated by almost 50% since it first arrived. They're also the worst ever company I've dealt with when it comes to warranty claims.

I'm tempted to get the 16GB... but if Mal price comes up to around 1.5k++, I might as well add RM100-200 more and get a Samsung S3 with expandable storage and removable batt.

16GB is too little for me.

In the US, the Nexus 4 is $299 for 8GB or $349 for 16GB, with the same 13 November release date...

$299 - RM 911.7994
$349 - RM1064.2742

so after mark up price will be ?

RM911.7994 + 50% mark up = RM1367.6991 ? vmad.gif

RM1064.2742 + 50% mark up = RM1596.4113 ? vmad.gif

That's just device cost. You forgot to factor in sales tax and shipping as well. In the US, all prices are quoted before tax. In total you're looking at about $330 for the 8GB version and $375-380 for the 16GB one.

I will see if I can get an insurance coverage on the shipment. I however would have to open up the boxes so that I can check if they are all in working condition. The worst thing that can happen is that a buyer gets a DOA unit after waiting so long. Rest assured though that it will just be to make sure it powers on properly without any defects.

If there is enough interest I might do Nexus 10 as well. My only issue is that the shipping cost would be a bit higher because of the bigger box.

Exactly. I really have no problems if I bulk the Nexus 7 because Asus is good enough to offer limited international warranty. Samsung and LG both only have local.

In before someone said show me where you could buy a quad core Krait with HD IPS screen coupled with Nexus experience and instantaneous Android updates for less than 1.5k

Yes, well aware that 349 might even be very close to the cost to make and shipped to USA. If market here by LG themselves, sure jack up at least 499 to even make the slightest profit and provide honourable warranty service. I'm just guessing but we all knew that USA gets special treatment when it comes from USA companies.

regardless of price, which of course I hope they can minimize the markup from US. But if S3 and N4 is the same price, unless SD card is an absolute must for you, its a no brainer to get the N4.

Hey guys, a bit of an update regarding my bulk thread. A spanner has been thrown in the works because I discovered I may have to charge an extra RM300 or so in addition to the current price I was aiming for because of the import permit from SIRIM. I'm trying to see what possible avenues I have with it and if it's not possible to keep the price low, I'm canceling the bulk.

u guys are kidding yourselves if you compare with US price like for the N7. We wont get that price. The price we got is somewhat similar to the price for N7 sold in UK (pounds).

For the N4, it'll be more realistic to expect the same UK pricing instead of US, which is £239 for the 8GB model and £279 for the 16GB

after the n7 pricing, i doubt benchmark with US price is realistic.
looking at UK/Eur pricing will give a better indication of the xpected price.

Ehehe..no la. I dont think cheap price is the reason. Samsung and HTC sell their Nexus phone at premium price before this. Only now Google force the phone manufacture to sell it Nexus phone/tablet at low price. But retailers and traders will surely take advantage and jack up the price again. cry.gif

so people buying this phone must be equipt with data plan and cloud storage to compensate the sd card. cloud storage is still not my cup of tea coz of lousy signal some areas, and the stuipd 3g quota per month. and also the bloody expensive cloud storage of 9.99usd per 100gb per month.

the world is not ready for cloud storage. so please oh please give us the sd card.

I expect the price of the Nexus 4 to follow UK prices, thats mean around RM1,400 for the 16GB version. It all depends on the Play Store contents availability in that country. If the country can get full content like in the US, expect the price of the phone to be the same, plus some tax by the country .

If you watch the interview video by The Verge about why LG was chosen as the manufacturer of the phone, it is because its meet the criteria set by Google. There are many manufacturer actually that present to Google their
Nexus prototype. And the 8MP camera module is from Sony.

I don't think Google will include sd card slot in their Nexus phone. The reason? Google it yourself. There are many discussion about this thing.

Maybe after six months, they will introduce 32 GB and 64 GB as the phone storage. This is what happens on the Nexus 7. nod.gif

Would classify it as cheap, more like bang-for-buck phone. After all, Google said they are selling at near cost-price. The price is good, specs looks very appealing too.

The main reason why the price differs so much is because of the SIRIM certification. RM200 per device as base AND 10% of the device cost.

Smuggled version flying around. tongue.gif


Added on October 31, 2012, 12:28 pmHere you are,


Nexus 4 vs. Galaxy S3

http://www.gizmag.com/galaxy-s3-vs-nexus-4/24796/


Nexus 4 vs. iPhone 5

http://www.gizmag.com/iphone-5-vs-nexus-4/24782/


A 50~50 fight........


but Google Nexus 4 vs Samsung Galaxy S3 vs iPhone 5: Price

The Nexus 4 may be released late, but you won't need long to save. Coming in at a bargain basement £239 (US$299) for the 8GB model, and £279(US$349) for the 16GB, Google is really pricing aggressively. The Samsung Galaxy S3 16GB equivalent is available for around £490 (AU$899, US$199 with contract), and the iPhone 16GB for £529 (AU$799, US$199 with two-year contract).



so i expected a Supercheap superphone.

not sure u heard this be4 but phones actually cost at a fraction of what we pay..
take ip4/s/5 pay 2k? maybe 300>500 is the actual manufacturing price.
economics efficiency and mass production will lower costs
glass treated with corning should be dirt cheap too
esp when they can make large 20mx20m and slice them up into small screens
components are a childs play. assembly is the main cost (labor cost)

correct me if im wrong, read an article for my research last time.

It doesn't make sense if the phone is expensive here, the idea it is being set at low price and without LTE is to make ppl that is in country that doesn't have proper LTE coverage to get a rush on this due to its low price. It should not be more than 1500.

Erm, you ok ?? N7 only have front camera, what kinda photo snapping and video recording do you do i wonder drool.gif ? edison chen ?? jk jk

It actually depend on ones usage la, i have 8gb N7 and never once have problem with insufficient storage due to the way i use it maybe. For media, all in NAS when i'm at home. Mainly use it for books, magazine , surfing and youtubing.

Games, I only play light games on the tab. More consuming games i play on console.

When I'm out, ermm when i'm out i do what i'm suppose to do in the first place rather than playing with my N7 sweat.gif

That is somehow too much to pay for a slight increase, LOL...

I guess if it being released around here, I will go for the 8GB over the 16GB.

This is nexus 4 Thread, it got 8mp camera. I'm telling people if buy this phone, better choose the 16gb one if not will regret.

5+gb memory available only.
Even all the tech site advice against it.

http://www.androidcentral.com/don-t-buy-8gb-nexus-4

http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/10/29/wh...he-8gb-nexus-4/

I did a poll in kopitiam ask about storage.
About 50% people feel 16gb not enough. 8gb more not enough La.

haha just messing with you la

anyway, my point is it boils down to what you need and how you use the phone/tablet.

well regarding your poll, given choices human will never say enough but i can bet you, 70% of the used storage in their phones are dormant items which just sit in there forever and never used or only being used once in a blue moon.

Having said that, i do think 16gb is the sweet spot thumbup.gif

lets say the release a 32GB version for $499, still many power user will buy and they make more profit coz flash storage is cheap nowadays.

well 16GB is small based on today standard and without the expandable memory, power user will not want to buy this. in fact if they sell 32GB for $499, its still far cheaper than iPhone $699 for the same capacity.

this is so not right, a great phone comes with a blend of good hardware and software.
if not why they use exynos 5 and 300 ppi screen for nexus 10. icon_rolleyes.gif

is not I dont like it for me 8GB also enough coz i got tablet and PC for other things but other power user that wish for pure android experience will be dissapointed.

i understand wat are trying to say,

i just want to point out that software and user experience comes 1st then hardware...

for nexus 10, coz they nid good user experience, so they nid powerful hardware to power up the awesome high pixel density screen wink.gif

Yalo this release update should be called 4.1.3. Android 4.2.x should be on the next dessert name, because when you look at the previous release update, 2.1.x = Eclair, 2.2.x = Froyo, 2.3.x = Gingerbread. rclxub.gif

not to say all not right,
check the gnex camera? the memory? the gpu? the cpu? the speaker? the wifi? ram 1gb(not important)?
yes google can choose better ones but that will collide with s3, and with that pricing,
samsung will lose in terms of bang for buck.

if they want to go all out, they could equip with newer OMAP cpu and gpu, 8mp zero shutter, better screen pixel arrangement, 32/64gb flash storage, better speakers, stronger wifi chipset (integrated chipset), and much more.
but they didnt they did that for a reason. not to interfere with competition with the flagships made by the manufac
if u think they cannot hear all the users in xda asking more storage?

btw, itz not like the hardware sucks, i find it alright, but not a show stopper when compared.
good enuf to compete with a 4s with less than half the price brows.gif

what you are referring to is not power user. Its lazy users, just keep dumping in everything he can find and never bother to remove unnecessary thing that are not needed.

Power users are people that make real use of whatever available to them and make the most out of it by squeezing every inch from available hw and sw for productivity tongue.gif

LG Optimus G already has 13 MP camera, why LG don't put it in LG Nexus 4? If it has 1366 x 768 screen resolution would be cool. Gonna stick with my Galaxy Nexus even though i'm drooling for the quad-core S4 Pro.

as mention in my above post.
hardware google always put lower spec 1..
u own the gnexus u should know.
cpu.gpu =old, even new 1 avaliable dun use
camera= 2nd grade, s3 hav the better 8mp n sensor
wifi chipset intergreted so cannot do much
screen pixel arrangement and the list go on.

dun think n4 will be a show stopper when the s4 launches or some newer phone launches.
just like how gnexus had it with.

but our software upgrades is what we should be proud of roms/kernals/mods

btw, u want 14mp on a 8gb phone that has 5gb usable???
i wish u luck thumbup.gif

like i said, Google doesnt nid to go to max spec...they focus on user experience

stock android + decent spec can win a very good spec phone with ui overlay in terms of usability and smoothness

Pure stock Google experience for user is wat Google mainly focused on

wow, see a lot Gnexus users here defending to the max about storage and the hardware...

anyway, i think both nexus phone and flagship phone have their very own advantage, no need to bicker what is good and what's not
afterall android is all about option, customisation and variety
we are not iSheep with like it or leave concept

wrong, if they all go max spec, the price difference is only a slight difference like 50 or so, will not hike 100-200
so if the current spec increased, say u will spend 430 AUD for a n4 with damm high spec.

manufacturing cost is little compared to the paper work done and the patents they had to deal with.

but local sellers will hijack the price to 2k 4 sure

that said, in mobile world, bigger MP does not mean better pix quality, its the sensor that count
not too sure what's the sensor is like in the N4

thats right. the profit margin on current smartphone is very large.
anyway i will get the 8gb if the price is acceptable.
Hope local distributor to not jack up the price much.
dont want to pay more than 1.2k for the 8gb.

To be precise, wifi tethering started since iOS 4.3, from iPhone4 onwards. 3G/3GS only USB/Bluetooth. I'm not sure about your friend's case, but I have started using wifi hotspot with iPhone 4 + iOS 4.3.

He will be back to malaysia 25/Nov , That's too rush, however if i still want to see the review, maybe I will ask another friend which she will use postage, but that is even more risk. The problem now is I don't know whether is it good to buy online, because no contract model will not be found in shop. cry.gif

Than stick to IOS as it is equally good as android. IOS fags will say is more superior. I have used all the iPhone n ipad series but personally I still prefer Android
Only on desktops my preference is always MacOSX . I use windows only to flash phones

im very sure lg nexus wont get that much advertisement and thus making it less popular and the price will be decrease in no time. people pay gnex for rm2k when it was released but after 4-5month already decrease kawkaw till the lowest u able to get was rm1.2k  .

so gona wait 2-3month and get my new baby!
*

If I do get it, it won't be because of depreciation or whatnot (though lower pricing is always welcome). My main concern is build quality. Going to wait it out this time to see what reports arise. I was lucky with my Nexus 7, in that I didn't get severe screen lift or touchscreen issues like some early adopters, but you never know.

In terms of depreciation, I'm actually worried about the battery life depreciating more than the price. I've experienced this with phones in any price point, from high-end iPhones and Galaxy models to mid-range HTCs. Once the battery starts to go, having a non-user replaceable battery just makes it so much more troublesome to change.

Lithium Polymer degrade faster than Lithium Ion. Holding less charge and die faster. Only advantage is it can be made slimmer and cheaper. Do a wiki and you'll find out the different between these two batteries type.

COST! fact!...cheaper cost of manufacturing, more profits.
and with it being able to be slimmer, means u can make the phone thinner or pack more cells into 1 space
durability, die faster, change more, more profit.

COST! fact!...cheaper cost of manufacturing, more profits.
and with it being able to be slimmer, means u can make the phone thinner or pack more cells into 1 space
durability, die faster, change more, more profit.

Li-Po is better than Li-ion. Cost more than Li-ion as well as lighter for the same capacity as Li-ion counterpart.

u can't calculate like that, this is business, when they fail, who feed them ? before they come out I series, they nearly gone, now they make it with bunch of supporter, why not make profit out of it, u not buying a phone only, u buying brand also .....

same go to samsung, sony, htc and bla ......

when one day, u into business and hopefully u can come out something good, no competition and u selling at below market prices ...
