Just curious, who's planning on getting the Nexus 4? Also, what are your thoughts on Google not adding expandable SD card slots to their Nexus devices? (I guess to push Google Drive) And also, no LTE chip.
For around $350?
I for one, (because I'm an Android fanatic), do plan on ordering one. (Despite some of the cons listed above) Because of it's specs. Just wanna get a feel for everybody else's thoughts.

just because you're an android fanatic doesn't mean you need to short-sell yourself an android phone that lacks future-proof features...
if it's lacking an sdcard and LTE, then NOPE.
Don't forget it's a lg device

I still think there's a chance we will see a multi nexus launch. However I'm still in the mind set that I need expandable memory and a removable battery, if it lacks either of those it's not for me.
No removable battery or external sd card slot is one thing, but no LTE chip is just ridiculous

LG's lack of features is a breath of fresh air for me...In the way that, I'm not worried about upgrading from my GSIII for awhile. If they introduced a galaxy nexus 2, I would be upset!
LOL the nexus 4 is a poorly planned joke. All they had to do was listen to the community on this one. Obviously Samsung did that when designing the S3. Nonremovable batteries are a must. NO LTE WTF this isn't 2010, it's 2012! No sd card slot either?! .........

No sd slot has been a standard of nexus devices since the nexus S right?

I was actually considering it, but if it really has no LTE connectivity, then they're definitely going backwards. Why can't one of the most profitable companies market something that's top of the line?

WeWell if you think about it, for Google to be able to hit that magic $399 pricetag, some things need to get axed. The Galaxy Nexus was $399, and had a slow OMAP processor and lousy camera and cheapy build quality. Google and LG probably thought about it and moved their priorities around a bit. All those three things are being addressed. You get the latest S4 Pro quad-core, decent 8MP camera, and "much better than Samsung" build quality. The sealed battery and no MicroSD is Google's own deliriums, so you can't blame LG for that. That really only leaves the LTE chip that can be axed to save money, since they are still expensive. This is primarily an unlocked world phone that accepts SIM cards. Most of the world doesn't have LTE yet. The ones that do have spotty coverage. And honestly you will notice the faster quad-core browser rendering more than the increased data speed. A phone can only render so fast. I've had 20Mbps cable and 3Mbps dsl and for daily surfing purposes, they aren't that different, since websites are designed for that lower tier. On a phone, the faster browser would make the bigger difference. Not to mention the battery life saved. I think it's a smart move. Right now, I don't even have a data plan, so I Wifi hop everywhere and the $$$ saved from having to buy a $600+ LTE phone with the latest processor/screen combo is just a no-brainer. It caters to my needs especially.
I just read about this thing, and I know we have leaks and such, but it worries me that we won't see JB. Why would they update ours and have a new one come out, and the new one is the same thing accept 8GB internal and runs JB out of the box. Anyone else at least confused on Samsung's thought process here?

Same as s3 mini a smaller budget friendly version of a popular device. The plus will probably fall to the low mid range devices similar to the level of the transform or moment or galaxy rival etc.

I didn't think they were, it just confused me as to why they would throw another version of the phone out with less storage, and JB out of the box, but I didn't think if it they way evil put it.

I'm not sure why but it's probably because they got left over parts they never put to use so they probably just slap them together into a mid range phone and make whatever they can out of the parts they wouldn't be able to get rid of anyways. Just my thought... if you can scrap older parts or left overs into a device you can use to sell via a carrier on a contract for 50 to 100$ maybe even free, why not?
Maybe looking to corner the market on pre-paid carriers with the left-over parts as mentioned before. Also, with apple rumors on a lower cost iphone for overseas markets, maybe this will be marketed as the H2H competitor.
We got Jelly already anyway so who cares? I mean if FL16 isn't good enough for a daily I don't know what is.

HTC did this with the Evo. Made the Evo Design, then dropped the HTC Evo Lte

So why is this called Plus? Seems the same as the SII but with less storage? Same screen size, same camera's, both are dual core. Why would you go with this over a a SII?
I guess the positives of it rocking nearly the same hardware is that if the older S2 models don't get 4.2.x updates... the S2 + will be a sign of hope.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
Looks like the price will be around $450usd (if its priced similarly to other countries by exchange rate) so itll be a lower mid range device on par with s3 mini slightly higher price than s3 and lower than prevail. So on contract it should come in between $99 and free(if it goes to us carriers that arent prepaid)

Who the hell knows. Probably size constraints cdma devices have alot more crap inside them than gsm does. International phones have one gsm hspa+ 21 or 42 antenna vs cdma has a 1x/3g plus wimax or 1x separate 3g and wimax. Then theres all the other parts in there wifi antenna bluetooth SoC RAM etc nfc chips are actually quite big. The s3 has it built into the battery because of that and the note 2 has it built into the battery cover with connectors that press against leads on the back housing
Edit: it also has a very limited range like maybe 2" MAX so it cant be embedded in the device it needs to be almost at the surface to prevent interference from the other hardware. Its range is so limited it wont eve work thru some phone cases

I have a Samsung galaxy note 10.1 2014 edition and am curious about something. Is there a way to swap out the SoC, with proper tools, in order to improve performance and multitasking abilities? I love my tablet but it's starting to feel outdated and since Samsung hasn't announced a 2015 version, I figure my best bet would be to put in a Snapdragon 820 once it's released. Please add helpful comments and insight. I just need to know if, theoretically, this pursuit is possible before I start out on this venture.
Thank you all in advance.

SoCs are soldered into the motherboard, so it's not possible
Even if it were possible to physically change the SoC, you'd need to modify the kernel to support it, which pretty much only people who've worked at a smartphone manufacturer would know how to do
I understand that, with the right tools, it is possible. I am curious as to the level of difficulty required in doing so.
Sent from my LG-H811 using XDA Free mobile app
Sure it is possible, but likely incompatible pinouts, voltage differences, and driver differences make it a non trivial thing to do unless you want a dead tablet. I wouldn't bother.

Now that Apple announced a stylus tablet it's pretty much guaranteed that we will see a new note tablet from Samsung very soon.
At least that's what my magic ball called tech intuition is telling me :angel:

Lol N is most LIKELY NOT coming. I'd be seriously surprised to see N on my Note 5 without a custom ROM.
As much as I like to see AT&T to have Nougat on Note 5, I doubt that it will happen especially they just pushed out MM to Note 5. If we are lucky, it would be around the time Google introduces the O. I will be more happy if I can get a regular security update on Note 5 instead of hoping for the Nougat.
