hello guys ,
I currently have a Galaxy Mini which is a good device , But its time to move on and get a new one .
what i am thinking about now are three devices : LG Nexus 4 or SG3 or Gnex .
I think that LG Nexus 4 is the best ( I love its look , its performance and of course its a nexus device )
but i have a few doubts :
1. Is LG fine ( i have never had an LG phone ) ?
2. Why is it so cheap compared to other devices ?
3. Will it have constant development like the Gnex ?
N.B : I don't care about it having no LTE or limited Storage .
I need some answers guys and if u have any other info u would like to share to just make sure that this is my next phone , Tell me .
BTW if u think other devices are better tell me and tell me why ?
Waiting for your info
Jeez yet another i am to stupid to make my own mind up poll .
About time they where banned ..

Take nexus 4, it's cheap, very good processor and also get latest updates . Galaxy s3 is also very good, but it may be expensive while the nexus 4 costs 350$(16gb),galaxy s3(~450€).Galaxy nexus is too old.

Why do you need help making up your own mind?? Would you buy a book and let your baby sister, niece, cousin or whatever read it to you?? Everyone has their own mind, doesn't matter about the opinions of others, get the device YOU want!

I'm planning getting LG 4X HD and let go of my Galaxy SII, What do you guys think???
I'd go for the HTC one X or s3 mate. In tests it's slow than both of these and read about ram problem when upgraded to jb. But at the end of the day it's your choice. And you will have to live with that choice. :thumbup:

The question is "Is't better than Galaxy S2 or not?"
Umm... Well the screen is. Does that answer your question

The SII is a great phone with great developers and a great community. You're gonna miss this on the 4X HD.
My advice: Get a Nexus 4 for 200 bucks if you need a new phone: It beats the 4X HD in most, nearly all, points and delivers the pure Nexus user experience. I'm gonna order one in a few days

I dont think you will see cm 11 for lg g2 anytime this year or maybe next this device seems to have almost no dev support.

Are you referring to the Nexus 5? Because of course that'll have more development than a non-Nexus device.
This phone does NOT lac dev support.
It is included as an officially supported device by CM
It WILL get cm11 soon.
Hell even the exnyos 4 devices got it.so why can't this device get it?duh....
Come on

the nexus 5, and some chinese knockoff phones....whatever the poster was referring to. Of course I say this with a smile
But back to topic..I'm ready,able, and willing to test any unofficial cm11 rom
How does my s3 and the s4 and s3 mini have cm11 already and lg g2 which is basically a nexus no ****ty exynos cpu still doesnt i bought a lg g2 thinking it would be like a super nexus but i was wrong my s3 still get updates quicker and is as far away from a nexus you can get, i have 4 days to decide if i want to return the lg g2 so i can get a nexus 5 or keep the G2 so im really stuck with what to do.

Get the nexus 5 .if ur gonna keep complaining about lac of dev support.
This phone is new and will take a while for development
As for the s3,the device may have cm11 but it has plenty of bugs because of exnyos
And s4 is based on Qualcomm 600 which I think Devs are pretty familiar with
So plz if u really want to stay here and discourage others I would request u to kindly buy the nexus 5 and get what u want

As for the Galaxies, they have been out longer, have a wider breadth of developers so more people have eyes on it, more people familiar with the kernel etc. Also, the Nexus 5 is different enough from the G2 that I really don't think we're going to see simply ports to our hardware. Just like the Optimus G and Nexus 4.
If you want a Nexus-like experience, get a Nexus. Simple as that.

almost of the smartphone has CM11 already, but G2 still nothing.. how sad..
Not just sad, but unbelievable. Guess we need to gift a LG G2 32gb to a Cm developer.
I think its possible to compile CM11 with what is currently available. I'll try and setup my build environment later this evening. I'll give it a shot. Bugs guaranteed but ... we need more bleeding edge stuff for this phone to attract more recognised devs to develop for this device.
Its people like these impatient dou***bags that make devs not want to build for us..if you want it go build it yourself and stop trolling this isn't Google+. If you want to troll do it there like everyone else.

Let's show to the developers that this device is noteworthy!
If there will be many users, more developers will develope something for us.
So maybe a poll?

Why buy a G2 Mini when the G3 Mini is coming... I think you put your money on the wrong horse and there won't be that much development coming for this phone as everybody knows the G3 Mini is gonna have better specs at the same price...
I honestly do not understand why they waited so long with the G2 Mini tbh. I do hope you'll get some AOSP at least :good:

Sometimes that statement is correct sometimes it is not, depending on circumstances. Personal or not... But the G2 mini/G3 mini is a different story.
When the G2 Mini got released there were leaks already of the G3 Mini. The G2 mini got released way to late:
G2 Mini: Status Available. Released 2014, April
G2: Status Available. Released 2013, September
The first G3 Mini leaks are from april. The G3 is getting annoucned the end of this month and the G3 mini will follow quickly. The timespan between those two phones is just too short. It's not like you have to wait 8-12 months, no it's probably only 1-3 months.
This makes your argument invalid lol.

Hi. I'm from the Ph also.. have you tried rooting your mini?
Wandering on the internet i found this link : http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/556100/20140618/android-4-5-lollipop-update-htc-lg.htm#.U9F7_PmSwj8
It says that LG G2 and G3 will get the update and most likely also G2 Mini will get one to :victory: .
Very nice.
But we will have to wait until October or later, since Android L will be released around September.
BTW, I think that it is Android 5.0 , because it has so many changes.

i just hope LG dont destroy android l's layout with that ugly stuff themes and apps they have :/
every android phone should be shipped vanilla, then you could download extra packages from LG if you want that stuff.
i just hope we get custom recovery soon.
anyway. im to stoked for android l. since ive been using android since the first htc
and ive seen it get better and better. android seems like it really have som cool features and put together well.

The G2 Mini is just 6 months old!
Exactomundo. They release new phones and forget the "old" ones. Because they are willing to ship upgrades only for those who "pay" for it. Haha, get it? You have to buy a new phone to get a software update...
Exactly as i said, marketing! Making money @Vagelis1608 for them it's old. :/

I think the same, regarding my old LG Optimus Sol, they promised ICS and only after ONE YEAR it got released, but at least they released it, so it a start

I do agree with this thought and I think that's exactly what's going to happen. :crying:
I still disagree.
I am pretty sure that LG will release Android L for G2 Mini.
Not sure about next year's Android update, though.
G2 mini is a new phone. It only have a few months. 7 I think. Also on some pages i see that some people asked LG and they say Yes. See Here.

Maybe you can start to asking LG. But im pretty sure, it will take a few months. April 2015 maybe with luck. So dont expect it for now.

Excellent news... Now that my device is unrootet I'll wait the OTA update. (I know, we must wait until 2015...)
But... Does still is the update for G2 mini carryng the G3 UX supposed to arrive?
And Finally, I hope that LG wouldn't stuff this upgrade with the same ****... QuickRemote and QuickMemo are good, but I'd like a more AOSP experience.
