LG Optimus Nexus - Epic 4G General

So for a while now I've been waiting for a new nexus to come out because my contract is up in December. However its looking more and more that the rumors are true that it will be made by LG and be based off of their flagship optimus g. The specs for the optimus g are beasty but I'm not sure LG can make a high quality phone. How do you guys feel about an lg nexus and do you think you'll buy one?

I will definitely buy it if its an lg nexus! They always make great hardware but their software is atrocious, but being a nexus that point is moot

Allegedly, there's gonna be a whole line of 5 nexuses (nexii?), with one by samsung, a minor update to the gnex (1.5 ghz a9 dual core). Another would be the lg optimus g nexus (or nexus g) which as you mentioned would be quad core s4 768p, 2gb ram. Another would be the nexus 5 by htc with 1080p, quad core s4, 2gb ram. The new thing about these is that they will have a customization center where you will have the choice of different themes, some of them being manufacturer themes. So an HTC nexus could run sense.

Does anyone know if the actual optimus g came out yet? I would like to know if it lives up to its high specs or is just a bust like the g2x.

Also, does anyone think Sprint will have first crack at any of these Nexii if/when they come out? I want to get a new phone around november, not next year -__-

Not sure. It looks like sprint and google are getting closer. Although, it looks like tmo is definitely getting it soon since they cancelled the one x + which means there's something better coming (since its probably not bug related because its being released on other carriers worldwide). That doesn't mean sprint can't be soon though. It does surprise me that lg made their optimus g so close too the nexus release. Idk if the nexii would have a coordinated launch either where each are released together worldwide. They may be staggered over the next few months or so.

out in korea. but it's a mixed reception. a very good phone by lg's standard but the software's still a bit of a downside.
hardware benchmarking beats all the android competition out so far.
but must add, american models always have some kinda variance to the original so they might change a few things. seeing that an lg nexus is coming out at around the same time, seems quite likely too.

Im liking the Galaxy Note 2,not much as far as development yet,but its a new phone,soo i'm almost possitive theres gonna be some great things to come for the Note 2.Aside from the great ammenities it already posseses.Plus i like the 5.3" screen and the stylus.
Yea Im thinking the same thing but at the LG optimus g is going to be a nexus phone and its going to have stock jelly bean right out of the box. And I think it a lil bit faster than the note 2 and It looks better.

The Note 2 is also going to have JB out of the box, and all the cool things it does makes it a remarkable device. Enough to overcome the size of the phone, which to me, is a plus. I like a bigger screen

The only thing making want to go to the SG3 is that I can afford it right now. That Wirefly deal is sweet. It'll be sometime next year before the note 2 is as affordable on wirefly and by then, I'll be able to just buy it and sell the SG3
Not completely shore but Google will be announcing it and some other devices I think the 25 of this month

Sprint already announced the note2 it will be released sometime this month or next. Its supposed to be available on all carriers by the end of Oct but it may be first of Nov for some carriers. You can check the specs for sprints variant on sprint.com

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.

Nexus 4-5

I will get my nexus 4 in summer, maybe may or June, so should I wait for the n5 or just stick with the n4 ?
And isn't the hardware on the n4 is going to do great handling any apps or games without any problems for a few years ? I mean it's the best out there I think...
1 last thing what about the back glass cover does it crack easily? Even if I bought a grab or sth?

Give him a break guys, he's using the xda app and obviously there isn't a search button. And it would have been easier to just answer him than try to be a mean mum.
To OP: You wouldn't regret getting a Nexus 4 mate. The hardware would undoubtedly be outdated in a few years, but it certainly won't fall behind by that much. And you wouldn't feel too far behind from new android versions since this is a nexus.
The glass I think is fragile but putting a case on the back would definitely protect it. But temperature changes (sudden ones) are rumored to affect the glass and cause them to spontaneously break without producing splinters. Based on the data though, one can assume that only a few units are affected by this condition (mine too, unfortunately )
Anyways, it's your decision. If you think you can wait, then get the 5, but if your hands are itchy and want to get a sexy device, get the n4
In my opinion though, wait till june. If the nexus 5 launches and you don't like it, then get the 4, if you do though, then obviously get the nexus 5.

Exactly and also it mentions tegra 4? That outdated piece of garbage. Qualcomm is currently the best chip. Agreed tegra has better gaming performance but overall Qualcomm blows away tegra.
Anyway there won't be another nexus coming till October. May be they will have a Moto X phone or something but not nexus. That happens once a year during holidays.

It's kind of standard in forums where a large number of users are interested in switching to a device. It's off topic, but I see it a lot. Like in the Rezound section there's a thread for people discussing the DNA with fellow rezound users, there was probably a rezound thread in the thunderbolt section last year, etc.
It will worth if they put on the new Qualcomm cpu...as for design htc is really great on design for phones....but personally love black & red combination. That's why I own sensation xe and rezound except DNA...as for build quality I am sure would be great...if the m7 aka one will be same as in render photos...I think that will be very beautiful but not as DNA...

well if this phone has a 4.7 inch screen I see no reason I would downgrade to it but at 5 inches, I may just have to dumb my DNA, I am on att so Verizon not getting is is not a issue for me.
The 4.7" screen will mean higher ppi....and that might be their only point against other OEMs.....that's sum trick from HTC "oh let's pull them to the 5" barria then run back and make a phone smaller for every day use" ...to be sincere 5" should have been a no go area for smartphones ....phablet and 5" is brtter

Whatever. Imagine these phones to be like the great wrestling tag team of Legion of Doom. The DNA is Animal and the M7 is Hawk. These devices should dominate of thier carriers.

Not enough of a hardware upgrade to make me hypothetically regret my DNA purchase (since it isn't available on VZW), but hopefully some of those UI changes will percolate over to the DNA (perhaps contractually already in the pipeline, and the reason for the no-thanks from VZW?). While it's a crazy pain in the ass to get to the local photo storage (why not have a drop down menu for the cloud options?!?!), the Zoe gallery previews from the Youtube video look really great - very Harry Potter-esque, if you will. Obviously, the exclusive hardware things like the speakers and OIS camera are nice, but the DNA takes acceptable photos, and nothing, not a Nokia or HTC, is ever going to take photos that replace my Sony NEX-5N.
Hopefully, the Zoe enhancements aren't hardware dependent, but otherwise, would love to see a quick upgrade for the DNA to Sense 5.

At least without me, your device won't have a cheesy code name like r2g2.
Considering the fact that this phone is going to be on pretty much all the carriers, it should be good to go when the time comes to development.

I rather buy a cheaper phone memory wise and be able to put a sdcard in it. $100 for an upgrade from a 32gb to a 64gb is just crazy. I can buy 2 64gb cards for $100 bucks and have 5 times the memory on hand. I am waiting to find out when the Note 3 is coming out and what it really has to offer to make up my mind.

Totally agree with you on this. This phone will definitely suffer due to the note 3 being announced on September 4th. They will have the same specs but the note 3 has the stylus and more options to it.

The Note is much larger though, which will turn some folks off.
it is, but only by .4 inches. Its not like they are comparing the S3/S4 size against the Note 3. Some people will be turned off, but some people might like a bigger screen that has styus. I get turned off by smaller sized screens. Every phone that I have had has been bigger than the last except when I upgraded from the Evo to Evo 3D.
This phone will be fine. LG is quickly becoming Samsung chief competitor. They too make the Smart Tv's which integrate with the phones, and are basically able to match Samsung step for step. There are people who cannot stand Samsung for whatever reason and will be all over this phone. HTC has always been my preference but I'm gonna give this phone a thorough once over and may jump on board the LG wagon.

The launch time could be a blessing or a curse. The pro is that there aren't many flagship phones (read: not phablets) being launched right now and thus this will be ahead of most things on the market, unlike in Spring, when HTC and Samsung both release products with nearly identical specs. Unfortunately for LG though, this could mean people will wait for the next "Galaxy" or next HTC device (HTC 2? HTC One Jr.?) or maybe next Xperia.
Came here cuz I'm wondering about development too. The OG actually has a lot of development and development is just getting started in the GPro. Based on latest Note 3 rumors (take this with a grain of salt) the G Pro can hang with it and it is significantly cheaper. Being on all carriers will help the attraction. Just my 2 cents.

Would get, but I don't have enough money for this :/ If someone donated one that would be awesome
personally, i'm sick of the lag that samsung had in the gs4 and I don't really expect the note 3 to be any better. besides, I've got too many damn samsung devices hahaha time to move on. never had an LG though!

What options you mean? And stylus, why you may need stylus simultaneously with CM/AOSP, there's no wacom drivers for stylus AFAIK so flashing CM makes NoteIII stylusless. Am I wrong?

Yes. Don't forget that G2 is bigger than SGS4 only by .2" and Note III bigger than G2 only by .4" So no big deal in reality. BUT Note III will have lot heavier bezels and therefor will be more bulky and not ergonomic and less gripfriendly
Well we don't fully know what the note 3 will look like exactly, we only speculations so far. The G2 will be good for me though. But honestly I wouldn't mind a note 3 because my next upgrade is November. That's the only reason. But I would really like the G2 because I am in love with my GPro.
Lol, I sound like a kid up there.
