Guest belmet Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Google just officially announced the Nexus 4 made by LG https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb or £239.99 for the 8GiB. Looks interesting for the money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timfimjim Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I was thinking this too... But it's still 140 more than g300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hans Gruber Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 If I had the cash I'd have a Nexus 4 in a heartbeat. I'm fed up with Huawei's crappy software, and seemingly forgotten ICS upgrade. I'd love a phone that is actually supported by Google themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I'm getting one. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timfimjim Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah I'm probably going to get one. 8gb storage sees a pointless way for Google to save money though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest belmet Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Yeah 8GB this day and age is a bit shoddy but I dont particularly use onboard storage much nowadays - most of my stuff is in the cloud or streamed so its not so much a big deal for me. I still have a 2GB microsd card i bought with my G300 ages ago and it isnt full yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisPNE Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I won't be getting one because of the lack of Micro SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timfimjim Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 It's such a good deal, but it is a lot more than my previous phone purchases... Decisions decisions. Also they'll blatantly bring the 16gb one down in price after a few months, like they did with the nexus 7! (still a bit bitter about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dazzozo Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 That's why I'm getting the 8gb model so I can be in the rare club when they drop the model. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FrankieADZ Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I won't be getting one because of the lack of Micro SD. thats the only reason im not getting 1 either tbh :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ChrisPNE Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 thats the only reason im not getting 1 either tbh :( The trouble is the bigwigs at Google don't realise that some of us don't have unlimited data plans to take advantage of cloud storage for streaming music etc. Also coverage isn't always sufficient. Not to mention the drain on battery life. Of course by including Micro SD they wouldn't be able to rip people off with massively increased prices for extra internal storage.

Guest tcpaulh Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 So the old 7 is £159 but the new 4 is £239... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tillaz Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 i wanted to get one until i noticed the storage is crippled... (for my usage) how much of the actually 8gb will be available for storage.. on my 8gb o2x its only 5.5gb since games are hitting 2gb theses days and my music and videos are about 2gb, plus any newly recorded 1080p videos in the future, i would never have enough space... and always be needing to remove something, even with a 16gb version.... to be honest i'm gutted, would of had this any day with expandable memory :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's 5.5gb on the 8gb Nexus 7. I don't even use 2gb on my tablet so it's never going to bother me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest timfimjim Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I don't use videos or games on my phone, got a tablet for that, but music and pictures I do. And 5.5gb of music is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst the technical reasoning makes sense, their manipulation of the N7 market by bringing out a 32GB version later shows the real reasons as I stated earlier.

Guest JHsaucy Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Honor 2 will probably come to the UK at like £300 just to screw us over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
