The G2X left such a bad taste, that I would never buy an LG phone again. Good find though.

Yeah I saw it on Facebook too. That's a hell of an outright price in my opinion. If I didn't already have my S3 I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

The main reason I won't go for Nexus phones is because of the lack of SD card support.

It'a a Nexus phone. LG won't have anything to do with it except making the phone. All software support will come directly from Google. So gone are the days waiting for LG's updates.
It doesnt draw me away from my S3 enough. I here there is Wireless charging for it though... Still an LG Device.
There were alot of Rumors, i thought Motorola would have got it.

G2X was also supposed to be a Google Phone and look at what happened to that.
I understand this is part of the Nexus line up, but no SD and the fact that it's an LG is like nah! I'll pass.
Price is good though.

All these awesome specs mean nothing to me if it doesn't have an sd card slot.

That was a Google Experience phone, meaning it was just stock Android from LG.
This is a Nexus device, so all support will come from Google, and not LG.
It's an insane deal, but no LTE or microSD expansion is a real turn off...
I am thinking about it but im leaning more towards the no
The main UPS:
The Display (no matter if LG sucks, They make the best displays hands down. no argument there)
Processor (Well the S3 is pretty smooth so)
Battery life (Friking 15 hours talk time! TALK ABOUT OPTIMIZATION)
***if you really think about it, those are the things that mainly drive us to what we consider a "good" phone.
The Main Down:
Its made by LG (and for those who say google deals with everything, um about that. My nexus 7 had to get serviced by Asus not Google..correct me if im wrong though)
No SD card slot (Although we know all nexuses are like this we pray one day Google releases a Nexus with SD expand ability)
T- Mobile 21mbps HSPA+ (Comon really??? So my 18Mbps down would drop
Personal Preference: APT-X ( I have apt-x BT headphones and i know the sound difference between the apt x codec and SBC codec)
Its a good device, but I may keep the s3. I am drooling on that nexus 10 though. Maybe next year
Can someone confirm that Gizmodo has their facts straight and that this phone will be unlocked for $300?!?! surely thats not right. Then we could all sell our GS3s and get this phone for free and have money left over 0.o
EDIT "Great value
We’ve always focused on building great devices at great value. And we think today’s devices offer the very best that money can buy. Here are more details on when and where you can pick up your next Nexus device:
Nexus 4: 8GB for $299; 16GB for $349; available unlocked and without a contract on 11/13 on the Google Play store in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB version will also be available through T-Mobile for $199, with a 2-year contract (check here for more details)."
AHHHHH FREE FLAGSHIP PHONE!!!!
299 at the play store with no contract for the 8gb,
But i agree with others, after owning a G2X, I will never purchase LG again,

Lmao. G2x wasn't a Nexus phone. It just came with Vanilla Android. Spec-wise, the G2X isn't too far from the S3 imo. Besides, Google wouldn't have chosen LG to be the maker of their flagship device for nothing. I love both LG and Samsung, but in my experience and share of phones...i'd take LG for its overall build quality.
With dropbox, box, google drive, etc...I can do without the microSD...if this has a lot of developer support, I'd seriously consider jumping ship...I'm not overly impressed with the SGS III...

There was a posting on engadget.com this morning of leaked info of the LG nexus thats come out. I hope that, thats not the only model cause according to the article it stated that it only had 8gb of internal storage and fixed battery and NO sd expansion. Total deal breakers! Also has the 8mp camera not the 13mp sony based lens that the optimus G comes with.

well there's more stuff that makes me prefer the iPhone. The active sync support for example. From my experience it is the only mobil OS that truly does Exchange ActiveSync (havent checked WP8 yet). It can sync all of my calendars as they are.
Android makes one big chunky calendar of all of my calendars.. iOS syncs my tasks, stock android doesnt.. only current HTC roms do but they are really laggy.. so I guess it comes out that from a user experience I'm disappointed with android.
what I love about my device is its keyboard and the fact that it basically is a linux which offers me some nice abilities as a software dev.
So I'm crossing off the Nexus 4 from my list due to it only having up to 16gb of internal, no SD Card expandability and no LTE either

I am looking for a new phone also, but I really don't want to pay the high price, or extend my contract to get a SGSIII.

Called Google tonight to see if there was any hope for anything soon, and the guy was like "ehhhh I got nothing, keep checking the website."
So I'm running out of patience with my g2, and also Google for that matter. Whoever planned this sale/manufacture/distribution for Google needs to get the axe.

Has LTE but only activated for tmobile or band 4 LTE so select locations.
Unless you dont have unlimited data or in a poor coverage area, 16GB should be fine for most people. Using google music and other cloud services allows you to not use phone storage for music/pictures so more space for other stuff.
I'm personally choosing the Nexus 4 or by the time i can get it, Samsung GS4 which should be released in april/mayish in the States.
I live in the northern end of SoCal, and my signal SUCKS wit T-Mo. I did see an improvement a little after the AT&T deal fell through, but ultimately I am entirely dis-satisfied with overall reception
Of course, that may be attributed to my G2, esp because I recently dropped it in water for the first time, recently
:banghead:
So cloud services are not a viable option for me at this time. And I currently use a 16gb sd card, and had to erase a bunch of music to make room. So a 16gb phone won't cut it for moi

Mission upgrade completed.
After 2 years desire z going for sale.
I really enjoyed physical keyboard and I'm already missing it.
New phone Nexus 4 16GB
I never really bought the newest generations of smartphones, mainly because of monetary reasons, but I like to think I have always made a good choice.
I'm thinking about upgrading the Desire Z to a Sensation XE (I really like the looks, and the specifications are decent to me) or a One S (a bit better than what the XE offers). I really like Sense, so I will definitely upgrade to a HTC.
I went to the note 2 and I am absolutely unbelievably happy with my decision.
I had the g1 the day it came out (actually a little before since I was a pre order) same for my g2. Was thinking about going to the relay 4g but then I found it the note 2 was coming and decided to wait and check it out.
So glad I did! Didn't think I could go without a physical keyboard but then I thought maybe since the phone was bigger it would be easier. If I ever get frustrated I just whip out the s pen and use that. Comes in handy when wearing gloves too.
This thing is so fast but best of all, it has INCREDIBLE battery life! I never have to charge during the day like I used to. I still bring my charger with me out of habit but I've never even used it in the car. It's after 2 a.m. I've been going all day and I'm still at 44%. I change overnight just by habit too. Could go a day and a half with this thing. It is wonderful not having to worry about conserving battery. Just use it for whatever whenever.
Can you tell I love it? No regrets. Anyway. ..That's my upgrade story!

Thought I'd share my thoughts on the N4 vs. the S3
I bought my wife a Nexus 4... if I liked it, I planned on selling my S3 and getting another one for myself.
That way we could share accessories, car docks, etc... there would be some benefit to having the same exact phone.
Anyway... her Nexus 4 was delivered yesterday and I'm not sure that I like it any better than the S3.
The N4 seems bulkier and while the N4 does have a slightly higher resolution than the S3, some of that real estate is used for the soft buttons home, back and recent apps.
So when you have them side by side it looks like the S3's screen is bigger on a smaller device.
The play store is sold out of N4s right now anyway, so I don't really have a choice.
I think once CM10.1 (or any AOSP 4.2 based ROM) is stable there'd be no reason to go from the S3 to the N4 (until 4.3 comes out and you have that 3 to 4 month lag).
Also, my S3 has 32GB and a micro sd card slot.
Ok?

What do you mean, ok? It's the general section. It's alright he didn't ask a question good point FunkyELF. That's how I feel about it too. The difference isn't worth the switch.

There are many things that I don't like hardware wise about the nexus phones, I used to own the nexus one and I was very very happy with it until I lost it, but the new models don't appeal to me like the original did... too bad other android phones get updates only if you're lucky :/
I almost bought an N4 over the S3 until I heard about no wifi calling on the N4 through T-mobile. That plus the lack of expandable storage and glass back of the N4 pushed me towards the S3 and I haven't regretted my purchase at all. Dropped a 64gb Micro-SD in the S3, installed Nova Launcher and BAM..Samsung knows how to make a great phone. I still hate touch-wiz, but any launcher of choice fixes that rather quickly. I really wanted the N4 until I tried the S3 + Nova Launcher.
Same here buddy. I got my gf a N4 and I compared it with my s3. to tell you the truth I figure why would I want a nexus4? If I flash CM on my s3 would be better. The only thing I liked about the n4 is the hardware with the back glass. But Im happy with my s3 and not going to get me a n4.
I agree with you the s3 seems to have more space on the screen.
By the way my gf is getting tired of the n4 she doesnt want to root. So there is no way I can fix what she wants. She says that some apps like bank of america and cnn dont work properly, she hates the fact of not having adobe (even thought i told her I'll put it on and she dont want to, she says that if it was taking off it was for a reason.) Another thing she doesnt like is the speed of the phone browser wise. But anyways I like my s3

AOKP 01/03/13 is stable as any ROM I've ran. I've yet to find a bug and I've been stress testing all day. S3 is better, and if u want stock aosp android, the 4.2.1 ROMS are coming along nicely and aokp feels comple

Thanks for this post, when I read the title I was afraid it was another " should I upgrade" thread. Nice to hear from somebody who is able to compare them side by side.
Funny how no one here on the S3 forums seem to mention the price of the N4 as an advantage.

How is the price an advantage, there are plenty of places where you can get the s3 cheaper than the n4.

Well unless you are on the value plan. Then your price is 500+ $$. That's what drove me to get a gnex prior to this phone. I paid only 250 for it when I paid 529 fory gs2. I paid 549 for this phone and laying it in installments. The nexus four is half that price. So yes it is an advantage.

It's not an advantage to get something that's gonna suck when the real s4 comes out.
It's like calling an HTC hero a g2
That "thing" is just to trick people who can't wait for the real s4.
Also Google wants to prove they can put out phones by themselves. Which they can't. Lord knows I wish they could.
We need to let the companies know we aren't Isheep.

Been installing flip out decks all day. Little harried. That may not have been as helpful to the op as I usually try to be.
Let me try again. If I dropped my personal s3 I'd drive straight to the store and buy another one.
And, i still rock a real g2. And, I buy and sell gnex's and fake s4's all day.

Well comparing a phone that is actually sold to a theoretical phone "s4" is not a comparison at all. I do think that Google has put out good nexus devices bit obviously not everyone likes what they put out, hence why people choose the s3 or other devices . Those people want SD card support, etc. When I owned a gnex I actually felt at peace knowing I'd be running g the latest and wouldn't have to be refreshing xda forums hoping for a good rom to run. There are reasons I'm on the sgs3 and not in the gnez but its not because it wasn't an awesome phone , but because the features it offered were not as beneficial as what I get from an s3. (WiFi calling, SD card, increased in call volume, media volume. ) I am not going for the "s4." Because Samsung is also towing us along like sheep. Yes I said it. How many of you actually will keep your s3 longer than 1 year? They only care about competing with iPhone.

I know Samsung is doing that, too. It would be hard not to. Don't buy a note 2 and they learn a lesson

Lmao "fake" S4...
Google wasn't trying to make an S4, or to even compete with the next generation of the Galaxy line; they wanted to make a high end Nexus device with a low price point so they can gain a higher userbase in their ecosystem rather than giving Apple a chance to herd more people into their's.
It's really not about which is the better device, the S3 or the N4, but rather which device is more suitable. I love the S3 because of its screen size, microSD slot, and the screen saturation. On the other hand, I'd jump at the chance to try out a Nexus 4 because it's pure vanilla with a sharper screen, pure black slate at the front with no branding or logos, and the build quality looks to be able to provide a very premium feel.
That's actually a good point.
I still like girls staring at my screen size

I almost bought an N4 over the S3 until I heard about no wifi calling on the N4 through T-mobile. That plus the lack of expandable storage and glass back of the N4 pushed me towards the S3 and I haven't regretted my purchase at all.

Sorry for the dumb question, ive searched around for my answer but cant seem to find one that's current around the forums, where is the most inexpensive place to get my upgrade done...?
Thanks in Advance :good::fingers-crossed:
For a Samsung Galaxy s3 Perferably 32gb, but 16gb is ok
Or should I go with the the nexus 4? what are your opinions??
I'd check on eBay. I got my g2 and Hercules from them.
Otherwise I'd try to get a deal from T-Mobile. Some promotion or another.
Should be something coming up for the super bowl.
What's a nexus 4?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Check out bestbuy. I think they actually have it on sale right now if you're eligible for an upgrade. I ordered mine online from them back in october and it only cost me about 100$
32gb S3 was $149 on tmobile.com yesterday, not sure when that sale ends.

You should try switching to Sprint, if that's not to much of hassle for you lol. They're having a buy one get one promo on the Optimus G right now. Check it out.

Honestly the Nexus 4 is a great deal, because it's unlocked, and has excellent specs, if I we're you I'd go with the Nexus 4. Plus you get all the android updates right when they come out.
I would agree with above post try best buy. I think the 32gb galaxy would cost you about 200, should be on sale for like 180 then is a matter of adding the tax . I got the 16gb one but I also have a 16gb sd card for music etcc. Honestly since your a person that seems like you like space I wouldn't recommend Nexus 4. I believe is truly overrated, non removable battery and the highest you can get is only 16gb and Of course you would be getting a lot less than that. Only choice you have after that is paying Google for their ****ty cloud service that doesn't even have an app on the pc similarly to iTunes. My bad on the Rumble lol I just dislike people who jump on any new tech.
Also buying through tmobile is usually more expensive than best buy,not too mention for warranty purposes more times than not you will get a refurbished one while for best buy you get a new one.

Also if you paying the majority of your bill because sometimes that's not the case like for myself I would consider going elsewhere. At&t or Verizon there's a reason why they have so many more customers than tmobile even with acquisition. Over 100 million customers for those 2 compare to like 40 for tmobile lol

Just checked to confirm, the 16gb is 99.99 and the 32gb is 149.99 on T-Mobile.com right now
