Google Nexus 4
 
Googles new NEXUS 4 is a crazy £239 or £279 depending on storage choice. This is roughly half the price of apple or nokias flagships.

Is this a shot across the bows for apple and nokia? :confused:

Discuss :D

Nothing is ever free especially here the UK. You have the 24 month contract to pay which would equate to around 500 or 600 pounds if your lucky.:o

No micro-SD slot. :( Other than that, it seems good value.

I have never owned anything from LG. Can they be trusted? I'm skeptical even if Google is behind this. I think I pass.

Good for Google for giving Microsoft the finger:

Meh. I want expandable storage. I'm working class. I don't differentiate between corporations. They're all the same to me.

LG build quality is not that good, IMO.

Their cameras are rubbish, and this is the most important hardware aspect in a phone, for me. Even topping good cell antennas. (I own a 808)

Their signal strength and call quality could be worse, but could be better too.

Their screens are very good, though.

So, for cheap it is not a bad deal, but it isn't a stellar deal either.

At first it seems like good value.

But no user replaceable battery, and nowhere to put my music collection SD card. Subjectively for me, that's at least £100-150 in lost value right there.

So all things considered, I'd consider other things first. If I wanted an LG, I suspect I'd compare the Nexus 4 with the Optimus 4X first.
