With the announcement of the LG2 i must say it looks like a very nice device sporting 2.3ghz quadcore. I hope that doesn't make the 3000 mAh battery seem pointless with its 5.2 inch display.
I'm just curious though, does anyone of you believe that the Nexus 5 will be based off of the recently revealed LG G2? I find that devices looks great, and while i do understand that some people don't want to move up to 5.2 inch screen, i must say i'm more or less ready to make the move. In the past i could not for one second imagine myself using a 5.2+ inch screen, but recently i just find it makes the browsing, texting and reading a MUCH greater experience.
anyways, what do you guys think?
I hope the next Nexus is made by LG and based of the G2.

The new nexus 7 is called the Google Nexus 7 (2013). The ASUS Google Nexus 7 (2012). So the point he was making is that the name might not go in increments.

The number is screen size. Since new Nexus tablet is still a 7 inch device it was called Nexus 7.
If next Nexus phone comes with a 5 inch screen it so be most likely called Nexus 5.

Yes, of course, that was clear; I was just pointing out that there is also no clear indication of any guideline, so it's all speculative.
I watched the whole thing too and it does look like a great phone but I don't know if I want a 5.2" display phone might be a little big. I don't own a n4 but I do like how it feels on the hand and not too big. Also I wonder how that battery will hold up after seeing all the great battery life everyone gets with the n4 I'm debating whether to wait for the next nexus or get the n4 next month

With how Qualcomm is handling the situation with AOSP i hope the next Nexus is NOT made from the G2.
The Nexus 5 will be based off the G2. Sadly it will be sexier and more of a beast than the Nexus 4....I really wanted to keep my Nexus 4 for 2 years but damn the Nexus 5 looks like it will violently b!tch slap any other phone on planet earth.
Mad props to LG. To take a beautiful, sexy device like the Nexus 4 and follow it up with a device that clearly trumps it in looks, aesthetic, performance....everyone will be blown away and hooked on the Nexus all over again...

You're asking for a Nexus 4S or a newer Nexus 4. This is about the Nexus 5 ....Every Nexus released has been a significant improvement over its predecessor....not a small step up
Considering how many issues Google has had with Qualcomm when it comes to releasing factory images of devices running Qualcomm chips, I hope it'd use a different SoC.

Really what's the alternative?
Qualcomm has a lock on SoC's at the moment and for the forseeable future. I mean really who else is there? Intel?
Development wise everyone is behind Qualcomm. Not by just a little either. The Snapdragon 800 that powers the G2 will more than likely go untested or unmatched by any competitor SoC until NEXT year....The 800 is a big deal as far as SoC's go.
I'm not sure of this beef Qualcomm has with Google. Don't know much about that.

You have Samsung with their Exynos series.
Edit - ignore
I rather have Exynos but Samsung just doesn't play nice with open source I would love Sammy's new octa core Exynos 5 with new mali-t GPU in new Nexus phone but I think if anything its going in this years Nexus 10 tablet.

Samsung's Exynos? Nope.
The main reason most Exynos powered devices don't have official CM support is because Samsung doesn't release their images. Infact I don't think you can find one Exynos powered device officially supported by AOSP.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 pro powers my N4 and I rather like it. Can somebody explain this mysterious problem between Qualcomm and AOSP? Doesn't make sense
It isnt that much bigger than the nexus 4.
Nexus 4 is 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm
LG G2 is 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9mm
Slightly taller by 5 mm, wider by 2mm but slightly thinner.
Also not sure of the power lock button on the back. You could just put your phone on the table and the phone will be turned on. Also getting cases will be odd. I hope they use the normal buttons on the side.

This, its basically like the S4.

But this hardware + AOSP = LG/Google shut up and take my money (again)

I am planning to get a new phone and i cannot decide between the One X+ (international ver.) and the LG Nexus 4 (N4).
I want:
Extremely Smooth.
A nice UI (User Interface) to brag about.
A future proofed phone
Hard Gaming
Downloading - Wifi g/b/n optional /a
Above average battery life - lasts a day or more.
And lastly, i will not root my phone as soon as i get it - but i might think about it. But, it may be unlikely.
For:
I would get a N4. but, i hate the fact that i would not be able to get HTC's awesome widgets. - Weather...
The N4 is basically similar to Apex Launcher.
Against:
I am getting tired of the sense interface. It is very similar to Gingerbread. - which makes it kind of boring.
Nexus has the new gen specs - flagship processor, 2GB Ram..
I am actually happy with my current HTC Desire Z - rooted with ELITEMOD. But the thing which annoys me a lot is the battery life - 7-8 hours minimal use - no games.
Other phone suggestions are welcome. Not LG, GS3, iPhone.
PS. I like touchwiz, but the SGS3 is not a option.
I dislike the name LG, so it is not a option - Yes i am picky. With a exception for the Nexus series.
...A decently new phone which WILL get the Jellybean update.
Update:
If you are reading this in 2013, I recommend getting the HTC M7, Nexus 7, or if you are in the main stream get the S4, or the New Samsung Galaxy Note (not the note 2).
Rumours say the M7 n the new galaxy note will have a camera which is above 10 megapixels. Rumours also say the HTC M7 will have a tegra 4 processor.

How about the Razr HD Maxx?
3300mAh battery, so plenty for extended gaming sessions, and it is due to get Jellybean very soon. Might not be cutting edge enough on the specs front though with only a dual core S4 & 1gb ram.
I've only had my One X+ for 8 days and haven't done much gaming to be honest, but I have noticed that extended periods of browsing can chew through the battery, so gaming would run it down even quicker ( depending on your screen brightness level I suppose )
Tbh if the Razr had an lcd / ips screen I would have one now instead of the One X+ as I hate amoled screens. That was the only thing that stopped me picking one up.

For me it's how they can over saturate the colours, and that whites can look more of a grey / blue colour than proper white. You do get deeper blacks with an amoled screen though.
It doesn't bother most people to be honest, and a lot of people like the over saturated look, but I personally prefer the more natural image quality & colours of a good lcd / ips screen.

HTC one X+
1.7ghz Quad
Amazing SLCD 2 "best display on the market"
Jellybean 4.1 with sense 4+ on top.

64GB Memory, 55 available to the user.
Nexus 4
1.5ghz quad
Decent 720p display
Mediocre camera
Very fragile glass back
32 or 16 GB memory.
Idk why you ask when the specs are all over xda. I mean the nexus 4 will be smoother, and sense is too in your face, but I'd go with the HOX+. Sorry Google, but HTC has probably the best build quality for its phones out there, no argument can be made. Samsung and just about every other manufacturer uses plastics that make the device feel cheap.

Just to chime in
I've been kicking around the same decision re: Nexus 4 vs HOX+. Having a Nexus 7, I love the look of stock Jellybean. Not a fan of the Sense Graphics/Themes and find the look dated (as mentioned in this thread already). If there was a foolproof way to install AOSP on the HOX+ and get the Google OTA updates, that would make my decision for me. If anyone knows of this option, I'm all ears.
Not to hijack the thread or anything. If I have to start a new one, I will. But since the OP original decision making process may require this info (really reaching here) then it could be answered without a new thread subject.
On another note, the reason for my leaning to the OneX+ is: Design: the feel of this phone in the hand is second bar none. Screen: Superb. Storage: Huge and therefore, lack of SD not a concern. Second Iteration: the kinks have been worked out of its construction, quality appears very good. Camera: One of the best 8mp on a smartphone with good camera software to boot.
Negative: Software: UI Design looks old, less sophisticated to my eyes. Updates: with stock Sense 4+ they will be slow and most likely stop before updates stop rolling out for the Nexus 4 stock.
Get the HOX+ its a no brainer really!!!!! Its the best device out right now!!! Even better than the DNA. I just got mine today, coming from a HTC ONE X, this phone is perfect. Its got 64gb of storage, jb, and sense......what else could a guy want?!!!! Its the perfect device in my mind.

So I have had my Nexus 4 now for a few days and I was asked to compare. So here goes. The Nexus 4 is what the Optimus G should have been it has the same beautiful build but with a better n hand feel and nicer accents, chrome, pattern on back glass etc. It is ridiculously fast I mean faster than even the G it also has a lot of extra functionality with Jellybean ala google now, lock screen widgets and a much better LED notification light which works well with light flow. The camera is basically the same if not for the better interface and photosphere from jellybean. I had grown to love the Optimus G and this just extends my love affair. Nexus is the ultimate optumus G I do not miss the storage as I use a lot of cloud. I have all my music some videos and a good amount of apps I believe 57 and I have 11gb left. The battery seems to be about the same and I have used the nexus 4 more because I was playing with my new toy. All in all I do not regret my choice to switch at all I love my nexus twins

I agree. It would be really nice to finally see these great phones running aosp without the need for a custom rom.
Hopefully, this one is going to come to Canada eventually...
Frankly I think it is good that they are doing this but I would rather have a nexus 5.
I'm hoping for nexus 4 prices with
2.3GHz processor
2+GB RAM
5.3 inch FHD Screen
32GB storage
Metal build
Key lime pie
Multi window
Then and only then will i replace my nexus 4. Dont really care about fhd though and the s4 is no faster than my OCed nexus 4
It will be incredible if google goes with the Exynos 5 Octa
Will this come with other features from the original s4?? Not the touch wiz but other stuff

I like the idea, but not the price (and based on the audience reaction...neither did they). I mean you can get an unlocked HTC One for around $560ish. From there, one could root/ROM it and be good to go. Now if the price drops to say $500 or less, I'd be willing to shell out the cash. Which I hope the price point will change. This is a great start to offering a bloat free device, without having to root/ROM it. This would be great if other manufacturers followed suit.
Good move nonetheless!
A true Nexus Samsung phone would be the only way I'd buy another Samsung phone. Getting rid of Touchwiz is easy, but I just can't deal with the lagging of releasing updates.
Boo... too expensive, too mainstream, to dang normal. Optimus g pro version would be nice that's bad ass or version of Sony z... both would be better all around and could be at $500 Google price. I was so disappointed! I just returned my nexus 4 thinking they were going to release something better. I'll stick with my note!!

In this order:
Development, Processor, Resolution, Price
I came from the fantastic Acer a500, so it had to be a damn good device.
screen res, nexus status. if a new N7 was out with a higher res screen, I would have gotten that. but this was a work purchase, and the fiscal year is ending so I needed to buy now it's an upgrade from my galaxy tab 10.1.
edit: not a reason why i purchased, but the front speakers are impressive, at least compared to my old tab.
Development,screen, front speakers, design
I had a Nexus 7 at the time, and prior to that, a Galaxy Tab.
- I wanted to try a larger tablet
- The specs were pretty awesome
- Rear-facing camera (found it a real pain that my N7 didn't have one)
- Screen resolution
- Front-facing speakers
- Nexus
Was kind of concerned with the pace of development at first. Seems alright now I suppose :good:
Still kind of interested in trying out a Windows tablet for some specific games though...

What made you choose this device instead of others? Will you select your next tablet based on the same criteria or do you care more about some other spec?

Why did you make this thread? For post count?
Will you make future threads based on the same criteria or do you care more about spamming the forums?
In other words, did you search before making this thread?
It's a nexus and has soo many pixels. I like pixels. It was most certainly NOT because it has a rear facing camera.
Screen and specs, android, knew it would have a strong development community supporting it, specs will make it decent for a couple years, I travel for work and need something to check email daily, laptop too heavy, etc. And it's a fun toy.

Specs but mostly that I could rely upon swift updates to Android rather than lagging behind at least one release at all times.

Wanted to replace my Galaxy tab and this was the best tablet around.
Don't shoot me, but my iPad mini was crap, and I NEEDED to come back to a Nexus.
I have an Nexus 4 as my phone and a Nexus S for work
Chill..............

I had yet to own a Nexus device, and I wanted to know what the pure vanilla experience was all about. Sure I've rooted it and tried other ROMs, but I keep going back to the stock 4.2.2 ROM.

the screen, the processor, nexus device, that black on black.
why
Have the Nexus 4 already.
Came from a Tablet S and was a bit disappointed in the updates or lack thereof as well as the shell design. Thought it was cool for about a week.
Top reasons:
Standard android
Screen
speakers
My experience so far is excellent with no complaints. It's much faster, better screen, better speakers, better wifi (much). I like some of the Sony apps like Music Unlimited but I can just download them if I want them.
I don't think I will ever buy another non-nexus device for cell or tablet. Price is right and updates are swift.
What made you choose Tablet S ?

tablet s
Thought it was a bit different at the time. Bought it back in 2011 when it first came out. Kind of bought into the whole it's easier to hold thing with the wide grip on the one side. Also the first to have the remote IR feature (which I never used hardly). I had the X10, Sony Arc and then the Xperia S so was just keeping it in the family so to speak. Still think the Sony UI is very intuitive compared to the Samsung, LG and Htc overlays.
I chose the Nexus 10 because it was the successor to the Motorola Xoom. Stock Android with updates direct from Google. That's what mattered. There was no other choice.
Winning it in the favorite things sweepstakes mostly

Yup, oneplus one had amazing development too but it took a really long time to pick up, probably due a combination of the invite system and bad stock firmware. Oneplus two is only worse from the sound of things. I had a great experience with nexus 4.

I could never find a good rom for my Samsung tablet. Even cyangenmod would lag for me.
Yeah..I got my Goog Fi sim but no phone to use with. Hopefully the Nexus 6p is not a let down.
Nexus 6P. Since using the G3, G4 and Nexus 6 i cant go back to such a small screen. Tried with the GS6 for a bit but couldnt deal lol
If the 6p have a 12mp camera I'm going to be upset....especially when some of huawei cameras currently have 21mo camera

My HTC One M7 is holding up extremely well for its age, but I would like more storage and stock Android. Not custom ROM stock Android either. Pure, Vanilla, supported by Google Android. If the Nexus 6P is as good looking
(and of resemblance to my M7) as the leaks suggest, it's an easy buy for me. I love my Nexus 7 tablet because I don't have to root it to get what I want. I just have to wait, and then I have the latest and greatest! Considering it looks to have incredible specs and performance, I'm not sure how fast it will be. My M7 is by no means sluggish or slow, so I'm curious as to how snappy the Huawei will be. Regardless, I'm excited for it simply because my M7 is still an incredible phone and we can only get better from here. Plus, stock Android is gorgeous.
Beans loved your Nexus 6 ROM . But I sold it and got a T-Mobile Note 5 and rooted and ROM'd it.
I'm thinking on maybe getting the Nexus 6P if it'll be better than my ROM'd Note 5 P ?
Note 5 vs. Nexus 6P;
- Screen / Display, which one will be better ?
- Camera ?
- Battery life ?
- Build quality and design of phone ?
- Battery life ?
I know the Nexus obviously has the better pure stock Android, but TW isn't as bad as expected, as long as you run a Material theme + Nova launcher + Lollipop icons + debloat all the crapware and apps. And have a good tweaked kernel + ROM. If you do all of that, the Note 5 is pretty sweet then.
Will the Nexus 6P be better ? If so I'm in.
Will definitely get the 6P and maybe later on get the 5X for work!
You guys read about this? 128gb Nexus? Any truth?

I'll most likely be getting it. I have a feeling its super thin, which is why that little hump is around the camera.
It does look unbalanced though, like top heavy. I'll judge when it comes out.

After 29.9 will decide if it Nexus 6P or Moto X Pure/Style. Heart says Nexus
Hope it will be in range of 400$-500$.
6p all the way for me. 5.5"-5.7" is where i like to stay. 5.9 is a little much but id still buy it over a 5.2..
It's always sad to see how non americans need to pay a premium and months to get nexus. The names are crazy, but still nexus fans here. Anyone wants to help to get the 6p and post it to me in Malaysia?
Nexus ftw!!
i am almost on the brink of purchasing a Nexus 6 (2014) off amazon , cause it is on sale great pricing atm.
kind of waiting for official and not 'leaked' images of the actual Nexus 6P , the leaked images look weird the design is a big turn off for me,
if the leaked images turn out to be the real deal then it is defintely a no go for me no matter what the specs are, i will rather get the nexus 6 (2014) cause it looks sleek af.
