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.

I guess you're right based on iphone 5 BOM.  notworthy.gif

Australia Pricing:

Nexus 4 (8GB), 349 AUD include GST

Nexus 4 (16GB), 399 AUD include GST

I think most likely Malaysia going to sell around RM 1200 - RM 1300
*
impossible.. that pricing from the google play site.
and from what we know is that google play price always lower than local market shops sell.

sellers will take advantage of coming fast to jack all prices

The US and Aus price not much different as well

I think wont go beyond RM 1400 in Malaysia

US Pricing:

Nexus 4 (8GB), 299 USD = RM 1000

Nexus 4 (16GB), 349 USD = RM 1150
Australia Pricing:

Nexus 4 (8GB), 349 AUD include GST

Nexus 4 (16GB), 399 AUD include GST
*
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..

thats why the should give more choices on the storage.

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.

then there will be no diffrence between nexus devices and apple device..
running on pure profits is a nono for consumers.

the point here is choice.
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.
*
well super user or what, most gnexus users still managed to carry on with life with only 13.3gb
thats y there is OTG cables where we can mount pendrives and harddrives brows.gif

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.
*
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

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

LG Optimus G already has 13 MP camera, why LG don't put it in LG Nexus 4? If it has 1366 x 768 resolution would be cool. Gonna stick with my Galaxy Nexus though even though drool for the 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

this is because they want to offer cheap price.
if they go all out expect the price will not be cheap.
*
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
