LGOG Google edition? - LG Optimus G (International)

According to the Pocketnow website, Sony is rumoured to be joining Samsung and HTC to release a Google Edition Experia Z. Considering LG has the current Nexus phone, is there any chance of an LGOG Google edition? There has also been rumours of an updated Nexus 4 with LTE which would be amazing for development on our LGOG.

I don't think so.
If you want a LGOG-like phone from google, you can just buy the Nexus 4 - they have very similar hardware specs.
However OG has MHL and 32gig of flash, that's why I chose it.

Coming from the Samsung Galaxy S (which benefited greatly from the Nexus S) development is still very strong, despite being 3 years old. Seeing as though LGOG is similar to Nexus 4 i thought there would be more development going on. Suppose im desperate for any boost that will help LGOG development. Development is crucial to longevity and getting the most out of this phones great hardware ... can't rely on LG for updates. Maybe i should stop whinging and start learning how to develop. I think there is still hope for an updated Nexus 4 with LTE i.e. an LGOG with different casing.

It would be good to come out always this. After that, there's many advantages LGOG !!

cm is just as sweet as the google experience...next best thing from the open source community.

A discussion about Multiple Nexus devices possibly being released next time around..

I have been reading that it's quite possible that the next batch of Nexus devices could be made by multiple companies. I was just curious as to what people thought of this and if this does happen which will you probably go with? I have always been big on Samsung but if HTC, Motorola, and Samsung all make their own version of the Nexus, I honestly don't know what I would do...What do you guys think about this? Do you think it will happen? Which do you think you would probably go with if this does happen?

Pretty sure there is a thread about this elsewhere, but to answer your question..... I'd go with Motorola all day long. Motorola's hardware is the best hands down, couple that with a open boot loader and toll be the best device we have seen yet.

Moto would be a good choice, but I'd be really tempted by Samsung or HTC. HTC especially, I've had a few of their devices and loved them all, but Sammy has that amazing SAMOLED screen and it's hard going from it to any other screen. Definitely interesting and hopefully true.
I looked and didn't see anything... I was actually leaning more towards Motorola myself. They made solid phones. I'm not big on HTC.. Many ppl like the way they build phones but I like the plastic look. Also Motorola is known for better reception..I've read a lot about how they make best radios.. Looking very forward to it!! Love my Nexus devices!

If only moto and sammy would team up.
Sammy screens, Moto battery tech, Vanilla AOSP Jelly bean or Kandy Kane, both can build slim devices, Moto radios (best in the biz)...maybe some styling from HTC (I always thought my rezound was kind of sexy/classy...for a fat girl). 4.6 to 4.8" screen. 3000mah slim battery....carbon kevlar the whole phone minus the glass and leave it the natural yellowish/greenish/black color. NFC....
I've thought of a way Moto could make their slim batteries like in the Razr and Maxx, removable....but it's hard to explain. (Quick detach I'm implying, not how they are currently removable).
And for heaven's sake at least 32gb since we all know Google won't allow an SD card on a Nexus device. Maybe even a wacom screen like the Note.....
The multiple nexii idea is unrealistic, it would kill the whole meaning of the nexus series, there's also the issue of who will get updates first and who will be issuing the updates, google or oems... we've already witnessed how the cdma gnex contributed to the fragmentation problem, multiple nexii would do the same.
In addition, i hope the next nexus won't have an over saturated and contrasted oled display, i think we should look up to the one x standards.

Well whatever Google decides to go with for the next Nexus...please no Tegra 3. Yes a lot of games are "optimized & compatible" for Teg3 but honestly I think there are better options out there.
hope not...cuz i might hv to get all of them cuz nexus are awesome!!!
I don't believe we will see several new Nexus phones this year. What has been said is that there might be 4-5 nexus devices released this year, right? Well, we already know about two of those: the Nexus 7 and the Nexus Q (although the latter has been delayed). A new phone brings that number up to three, and the fourth device could possibly be a larger tablet (?). Not sure what else there could possibly be, but again, I don't believe there will be more than one new phone.
I think the next nexus will be made by Google.... They own Motorola mobility now so I'm guessing Google will be releasing there own
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I can't imagine it being made by anyone but Samsung at this point, honestly. I'd love to see HTC make one, personally. I'm not sure about the other variants, but the HTC OneX (or OneS?) on T-Mobile is absolutely wonderful, physically. It's got that metallic feel that the Nexus One had. I like that a lot more than slick plastic.
I'd love a moto nexus. When it comes to quality hardware ie. Antennas, moto is the best

Not likely. Motorola still operates as its own entity, not as a hardware division of Google, and Google has publically stated that they won't give Motorola preferential treatment like that. The other OEMs would not be happy if they did. So Motorola has the same chances as everyone else (which in my opinion means it's pretty unlikely they will get to make the next Nexus).
its either Motorola or Samsung.. i dont think google would choose HTC (again) or Sony..
wasnt nexuses are supposed to be a developer phone? and not high class fashionista phone like that glass brick does?
nexuses arent jewellry :angel:
I have a feeling Samsung will continue to make the Nexus phone.

Is it worth buying a Nexus today?

Hello,
How are you?
As I have said in previous threads, I currently have a Galaxy Note.
I am wanting to switch to a bit smaller phone with better handling with one hand on the go.
I've though about the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3, but I think the support in regard to updates is just slow.
So, I am thinking about a Nexus.
My question is with the Nexus running older, is it still worth the purchase today? It is a fairly bit cheaper than the S3 or HOX.
ALso, the camera is an important feature to me.
I don't carry dedicated cameras with me no more, so I rely on my phone to take some casual snaps.
How is the camera on the Nexus in comparison to my Note, in regard to general image quality?
Hope you can help me out.
Thank you.
Best wishes.

If I were you, I would wait a month or two to see which handsets that will be released.
The spec's on the Nexus is 9 months old so it is not the best out there anymore in regards to hardware, but it is without comparison the best handset when it comes to updates and community support.
The camera on the phone is OK, not the best out there but it manages for my use. I don't know how it compares to the Note's camera since i've never tried it.
if the camera is important to you and is a higher priority rather than the software updates I'd go with something newer. Having gone from a GS2 to a GNex I can say the picture quality is down and is noticeable. I'm guessing they use the same 8mp sensor in the Note as the GS2
I have the post-ban Gnex GSM.
In the last year, I've used One X (awesome screen, awesome camera, but that's it. Sence is stupid), Nokia 900 (awesome hardware, meh camera, meh screen, terrible app store), GS3 (awesome everything except touch wiz), Galaxy Note (hate touch wiz, good camera, good screen, unique), and of course the iPhone 4S.
Today, when my friends ask what phone to get, I direct them to GS3. I'm not a fan of touch wiz, but it's hard to deny the awesome hardware that thing has in it.
If you put the Gnex software with the S3 hardware, you would have the best phone in the world today. For me, software is more important than hardware which is why I support the nex.
Yes, it's worth it.

Thank you all for the replies.
Is the Nexus too much of a downgrade in terms of hardware from my Note?
Also, If I install a rom like CM10 on my Note, I will almost get that stock ICS feel on the note, or even an S3, right?
Those kinds of roms are not that much ate in time after the original Google updates, are they?
Cheers!
The Nexus is always worth it especially for development.
The Nexus is always the way to go if you like flashing ROMs.
No jelly bean for Verizon or sprint Gnex yet. International s3 getting official jelly bean next week. S3 over Gnex was an easy decision for me.

I own the Nexus VZW and S3. I prefer the S3 for the hardware but I love the nexus for roms. I will probably flash the S3 today.
When it's said that the nexus is better to install customs ROMs, what is the difference from a HOX or S3?
Does the nexus have a bigger development community and better support?

Official nothing. You buy a Nexus to have the choice to not wait for the carries. All versions of the Galaxy Nexus have stock and custom ROMs built on 4.1.1 source. I run stock 4.1.1 on my Sprint Galaxy Nexus and it runs just as well as any other.
Development on a Nexus device is always easier than any other, has more potential, and a larger development community. Your GS3 may see 4.1.1 but may get left in the dust for the next version while my Nexus will remain up-to-date, regardless of whether the "carrier" releases it or not.

I went from the Note to the Nexus yesterday. I realised that the Nexus is a better size for me but the Note lives on with my wife and it is an awesome peice of kit. Also for me as much as I messed around with TW roms I always craved vanilla Android. The problem is that CM and AOKP always had issues despite the devs hard work. My advice to the OP is to buy the GNex now and swap it next year for a new Nexus next year when prices of those have dropped. That's what I will be doing. In 23 months of Android I have had 6 different phones, but this is easier to do in GSM land.

That's helpful.
Can you please give me your impression of the camera on both phones? Is it a dramatic difference?
Also, any kind of regrets on the swap?
I'm still over thinking... I can get the Nexus for a sweet price and still make some profit in selling my note, but I am afraid of regretting it...

To the OP- I have both phones. I got the G note at the beginning of the year, but switched to tmobile and it was not too reliable then. I got the G nexus 2 months ago and love the smaller size.
I have recently gotten to test out both cameras with the ustream app- Trying to catch a mouse popping out of my stove- Arghhhh!!!!
This ustream app sends out the camera as a live feed to your computer. I used both phones on 2 different nites. I am sorry to say there is a significant difference. The G Note is a great picture. The G nexus is a step down in clarity. I can't say its blurry, but there are more details shown with the g Note. In still pictures, it seems to be fine. I wouldn't have known the difference is I didn't see it with my own eyes.
I now switch off between the phones. the radio problem has been fixed for the note on tmobile. I really love my Note, but at times the Gnex is more practical to carry around. I was able to sell an old iphone and infuse to pay for my gnex, so I could keep both
Tough decision! Good Luck!
Sorry I have not had enough experience yet with the GNex camera, but that is not so important to me and my wife can take the pictures on the Note. No regrets for me.

When the next nexus arrives, do you think the current nexus will hold it's value better than the note? The note 2 will be announced the coming week, and it might pull the note's value Down. It does have the uniqueness of the screen tough...

^^^ This is the chief reason why I kept my Sprint Galaxy Nexus rather than returning it before my 14 days were up.
I still have my HTC EVO 4G LTE, but love the Nexus. I find it much more appealing design and it feels better to hold for long calls that I can't use speakerphone on. I consider myself to be very demanding of my phones and, like every other handset I have had, I have found things with the Nexus that need to be tweaked to my liking. This is the best part of this phone. I can do that if I dig into it and learn about the design and programming. Lack of carrier "sh_tware" is an extra bonus, but that can be removed from any rooted phone with TB.

Galaxy Nexus?

So I see that the Galaxy Nexus is free right now on sprint. should I get it? it's got a bigger screen, much faster processor, and the same ram. EDIT: Twice the ram.
The only downside I see to this phone is that there is no memory card slot which is really handy for transferring roms or y'know PORN to the phone from the computer. (or so I think, rather than hooking up a cable and screwing around) (my computer always has a micro sd adapter in it)
Space isn't an issue because I don't store any music on my phone (I use pandora)
I am really wanting the nfc thing because then I can buy a tag and have it turn on my pandora and bluetooth.
The phone I really want is the Note 2, but $300 is really high. Not rich after all.
Final Summation?
Sprint, sprint, sprint. I don't think carrier branded Nexus are worthy...

If you're an XDA member it's retarded to complain about carrier updates. A Nexus is a Nexus. For one, Sprint got 4.1 out in two months after its release. For two, it can always be compiled from AOSP source. Google even released binaries for the Sprint variant for 4.2. I'm running a perfectly stable, purely AOSP, unaltered 4.2 built from source.
If you don't own the device, don't talk like you know what goes on with it.
It is definitely worth the free upgrade.

Exactly however IMO I feel that if you have an upgrade why would you buy a phone that is already outdated instead of either getting the S3, GN2, or LG Nexus, just saying even a normal consumer would say so as well. As I have an upgrade I messed with gnex and don't see the need when my NS4G is. Getting 4.2 as well, and The S3 and GN2 features and build pretty much wrap it together. I don't understand why you would buy an outdated product that will most likely by end or middle of next year be completely obsolete and not supported. Whereas a GN2 will be supported to atleast 2014.
However if financially you can't afford then yes go right ahead. But the S3 would be more practical as it will drop in price in a few months to probably 149 or even 99.

Because it's still solid hardware and not everyone can afford the price tag of brand new devices. The Galaxy Nexus is free for upgrade and still maintains itself very well against the newest hardware. It will be the most relevant device with software updates thanks to AOSP next to the new Nexus 4. Also, there is no GN2. Not sure what you were meaning to refer to with that.

Gnex won't possibly be given up so early will it? After all, Nexus One received Gingerbread all along and CM just stopped support very recently. Considering Gnex's dependable hardware I bet it'll last much longer, maybe to official Android 5.x and CM's Android 7+...

At that time, this mobile phone costs HKD3513

Best phone for me. Truly All in one and has no analogs. Only 2 cons: missing SD card slot, PenTile OLED. Pros: fast TI OMAP with great battery life, RGB led indicator, tonns of ROMs and future support from Google, OLED, USB Host, HDMI and many others... Choose between Nexus 3 and 4. But LG's has no USB Host, has worse battery cover and I dont like Qualcomm

I bought it because it is THE easiest phone to develop for, with probably the largest development community. I wouldn't be shocked to get 2 more updates from the awesome devs here at XDA. The nexus line isn't a "Give me updates" line. It is a development line.
Upgraded from O.G. Droid to the Galaxy Nexus, so for me it was upgrading 4G and getting another pure Android device. I'm on Verizon and I personally think the development for this phone is outstanding, just like it was for the O.G. Droid. I will always have a Nexus device, I just hope Verizon will keep getting some type of Nexus device.

I'm sorry but the nexus one was advertised as a developers phone. The Galaxy Nexus was not, Google geared the Galaxy Nexus towards consumers and they did the same with the Nexus 4 and the Nexus line of tablets. Don't tell me this is a developer phone and expect that to make up for its downfalls.

It may not have been advertised as a developer phone but google designs their nexus devices to be easily modded and developed on. Just because they wanted it to be easily usable by every day consumers doesn't mean it's not a development device. I think for most developers/rooters, that is the big draw of this and all other nexus phones. And I'm sure for many, that does make up for it's downfalls. I personally see no downfalls with the phone, I've had nothing but a great experience with it in all aspects other than sprint's service, which is no fault of the device itself.

Any chance for Samsung Nexus?

Hey guys as the new LG nexus coming up wanted to know if anyone found or heard of another Samsung Nexus that they started to plan or make? I'm a huge Nexus fan but i don't like LG phones AT ALL, i still got the Gnex and think its one of the best phones out there thanks to our devoted developers who keeps it alive and updated for all that time, I only trust Samsung hardware so i be waiting for a Samsung Nexus even if its gonna be nexus 8 or what ever, would be happy if someone can post some stuff he found on the web even shards of hope will help

At this point its far too early to speculate, thus far Moto has been following its old practices while under direction by google. As it stands Moto still has alot of pr repair to do and public recognition before Google will use it as a Nexus. As for Samsung, there has been no indication that they would, so far every device they have released doesnt exactly fit the nexus concept, tho with their Google play devices (essentially a nexus device but not manufcatured or named as such, ala Galaxy s4 and HTC ONE) . As it stands Samsung would likely loose money by making a nexus device. The N5 is actually being sold below MSRP see how much it will cost off contract at sprint, should be around 5-600. Samsung has found a formula that works for them, i can see more google play devices in the future but more than likely we will see a nexus form HTC, LG, or Moto. I doubt anything will come from sony with the recent lawsuit that Sony, Apple and MS have brought against google and various other google partners.
But again as a new nexus was just released yesterday it is far too early to speculate about who is going to make the next nexus.

Hey guys as the new LG nexus coming up wanted to know if anyone found or heard of another Samsung Nexus that they started to plan or make? I'm a huge Nexus fan but i don't like LG phones AT ALL, i still got the Gnex and think its one of the best phones out there thanks to our devoted developers who keeps it alive and updated for all that time, I only trust Samsung hardware so i be waiting for a Samsung Nexus even if its gonna be nexus 8 or what ever, would be happy if someone can post some stuff he found on the web even shards of hope will help
thanks

Hopefully not.. I'd pick Samsung dead last to make another nexus. Would like another HTC. Never had an lg so can't comment there. But I'd love to see a Motorola one... Best wireless radios period.

While that's true about the wireless radio: I can't say no to a removable battery and AMOLED screen.
