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.

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

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? 

What if LG pricing is like Apple?     

USD399 = RM1199
USD499 = RM1499

USD349 = ????     

i think the phone manufacturer has already think this issue when designing and implanting the seal battery. this could be one of the user preference but dont let this limit others N4 beauties.

what i expected for nexus 4,is......a super cheap 'super phone'.

you can't make it "super cheap",atleast have to cheaper than all the other....

can't do :

super cheap 'super phone'

atleast :
cheaper & better phone.

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.

umm, i think most androids since elcair and fryo able to lor...
it uses data for wifi hotspot..

only phone cannot is ip4/s

means the 4 or 4s im using not updatedlor..

where is xperia nexus ?

For US set , the only different is charger plug right? (Ignore about warranty).

any ideas ETA in malaysia n pricing?

tempting.....below s3 price..sure grab one...

2 more months....

cant wait...garage sales also no people open thread for preorder also...

even rm1.8k seem not cheap, but compare other brand flagship model, it still consider cheap, so LG put rm1.8k here, user may feel still cheap, actually it is sell overprice/mark up here...

for me, it is not worth to pay extra for it...

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

Its meant to be the flagship of GOOGLE 

iPhone 4s user here.
This is gonna be my first android phone
Where are you guys pre-ordering it ?
Google play store ?

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.

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

In the middle of reading "Verge" review, something caught my eye.
It seem that the glass behind the phone is quite fragile, easily crack or perhaps scratch?

Looks like most of top from benchmark shown are Quadcore.. 

anyone got news of which shops are gonna bring in the N4? want to book them quite coz my 5 years phones is failing drastically~
