I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I have been very eagerly awaiting a new nexus phone however upon the announcement release and noting that this is made by LG it left me feeling a bit strange.
The spec sheet of the Nexus 4 looks absolutely amazing and the price is incredible (the lack of LTE means nothing to me and I have never used a microSD card in my life) so it is pretty much perfect except for that fact that it is made by LG.
I have had a couple of LG phones in the past and their build quality/support were the worst things I have ever seen in a phone. My experience with their phone was so bad it put me off buying anything LG (minus my trusty air conditioner heh).
The last LG phone I had was from 2009 so maybe the company has fixed up their act since then, I am really excited about a new Nexus just the LG factor is the only thing putting a maybe in my mind.
How does everyone else feel?
Everyones just going by LGs track record, no1 has even touched the device yet. but watching the verge video on youtube, quality looks awesome, but like EVERY DEVICE it wont be perfect and will have some issues.
I think it will be fine. With the Nexus you won't be fighting the bad LG UI gig. S4 processor is in a lot of new devices. Gorilla Glass 2 us also a standard. Standard 2 gig memory. Plastic is plastic at the end of the day. So being its a Google phone the OS is in their control.
So why not?

There's a reason Google chose LG. This is Google's flagship phone, if there was any doubt about quality, Google would have used a different manufacture as far as I'm concerned. I'd say we don't have to worry anymore about this phone than we do with any other phone. All phones have "issues", and I'm sure this will have its own quirks.
If your that worried don't pre-order it and wait for the reviews to start rolling in. The Verge's video made it look amazing. My only concern is the glass front and back.

That video did make the phone look amazing and I will wait for the reviews as I live in Austria anyway so who knows when we get it.

That's not really true, just because Google chooses a particular brand doesn't mean they approve of the quality. The Nexus 7 from Asus had a lot of defects.

Yeah, good point, but then again the Nexus 7 was sold at cost, so QC was probably cut to a minimum. Hopefully the Nexus 4 is different, but I'm not holding my breathe with such a "cheap" price.

The LG Optimus G looks to have pretty good build quality so I wouldnt be too worried. You could wait for a review first. Then decide?
The bad thing about LG phones has always been the software. Never owned an LG phone but I heard mixed reviews about the customer service. And o yeah, the camera has been mediocore if not bad on LG phones including those in Optimus G.

As long as the camera is better than the one in the Galaxy Nexus its good enough for me. You don't have to worry about the software as its pure Google and updated directly from Google. I have heard mixed review about customer service for every major companies honestly, even if they do receive perfect review I'd still be skeptical.
I think the build quality will be fine, base on the reviews of the Optimus G it feel very solid and doesn't creek while being twisted, while the Galaxy Nexus definitely do.
I just hope I don't get any backlight leakage, I still think it likely have less issues than AMOLED screen which has banding and dark spots that pervades all AMOLED devices I've ever owned (people who claimed they don't have it just don't know how to look for it).
After owning a LG G2x I'm very cautious about anything mobile made by them and will wait out for some reviews/feedback here on the forums. I'm going to start looking into problems with the LG Optimus and see what might be issues for the Nexus.
That said, I love my LG fridge and stove!
I'm not worried at all about it being an LG phone. Although I've never owned an LG smartphone, I've had a pile of LG dumbphones and they were the best IMO!
LG makes good hw.... its the sw support that one should be worried about... but since this is a nexus, i dont think there shall be a problem... ive been using my ob for about a year and a half and have yet to encounter any hw problems.... granted 1.5 years is a pretty short time, but ive read hw issues for other brands surface within an even shorter period than that....
oh and no my phone is not encased in a shrine i work outdoors (shipyards/ construction sites etc) so its been dropped, near strong magnets, exposed to hot metals, fully drenched in sweat, stepped on, sat on etc... and all without a phone protector (just a cheap $10 screen protector) everything still works perfect and the phone is still in one piece (casing is about 6/10 tho) =P
and yes i flash experimental roms and stuff (i even flash stuff thats not meant for my phone) and yet the mainboard has yet to fail me (crosses fingers)
so yeah.... im pretty confident about the hw.... :fingers-crossed::highfive:
Not worried at all that it's made by LG. The only prominent issue I've heard of about LG is their terrible software support, which is a moot point on a Nexus.
I'm not worried, but hate the fact they used Gorilla Glass 2, phones that came with it are easily scratched compared to GG1, so going to put screen protectors in the front and back.
about OS updates, it will come from Google, so no worries

Did you dislike the hardware or the software? As long as the build quality is fine, than we should all be fine, considering Google wil deal with the software.
Software aside, Im worried about the camera, I got the Optimus 2X then SGS2 and the cameras both 8MP are worlds apart. In other words the camera on the O2X is garbage compare to the SGS2.
So does anyone know who made the camera for the Nexus 4?
im very happy its an LG phone as they make fantasic hardware - Ive had an Opimus x2 and current on an Optimus 3D - They just have the WORST record when it comes to updating the software - both those phones are still on Gingerbread for crying out loud. Obviously it being a Nexus device means it eliminates LG from the software updates so finally they`ll have a phone that`ll keep up with the times
it's have same Optimus G at&t camera .. it's from Sony
i really want to buy this phone but i think One X camera slot better

Hello everyone .
I'm pretty set on getting this device, unless the S4 comes out with something amazing or a design that looks better. I've had the S3 and currently use a Note 2 but I am so sick of the plastic unmodern feeling and the laggy TouchWiz that is only good to use for the first week.
I'm selling my Note 2 today.. but sadly the HTC One is not out :S. Meaning I'll probably be waiting a couple weeks with either a cracked S3 or an HTC Evo :S.
I was wondering if you guys think it is worth it? I know the S4 is being announced in two weeks but really I don't know what their "killer" feature will be.
Hardest part for me is having a crappy phone until the HTC One or S4 come out,lol.
The leaks are already showing a squarish shape. Same processor ram. 1080p plastic aluminum plastic design.
So its all up to you

It is more than worth it, i sold my note 2 around a month ago and have been using a BB 8320 and now a 5800 until the One comes out, I was set to get the Xperia Z until I played with the One and it was superior so now I have a 18 day wait but I know its going to be worth it

Exactly, but the square shape wouldn't be that bad if it is metal . Same with the processor, it's more of how the software utilizes the hardware D:.
I guarantee you won't feel it to be a 'sacrifice'. I'm happy February has only 28 days LOL
Haha, yes, 28 days is a blessing. I can survive 2 weeks.. I hope. Let's go!
The only reason i am not considering the S4 is because its gonna be the usual plastic body that Samsung always have if they follow what they have done in the past with all there other phones, and knowing Samsung they wont be going with an aluminum body. Also I think TouchWiz isn't too attractive looking and S Voice is a joke. Even if Samsung actually includes an aluminum build on the S4, I'm getting the One. Its just way too good to pass up.
I too have a gs3 and going tô ignore s4 for 3 reasons: plastic,touchwiz and sound.
I don't think the leak design of the Galaxy S4 will be final, just like last year. There was a few Galaxy S3 prototype floating around.
But the Galaxy S4 should be similar to the HTC One in terms of performance, just a higher clocked CPU & GPU which the developer here should be able to fix !
The display will be same if the rumour are true, SoLux = Super LCD 3, just 5" vs 4.7". But material wise the HTC One should be better.

Here's my situation. I have a Mytouch 4g Slide which got broken and currently using an old phone for text and calling while searching for a new phone to replace it. At first I got hooked up on the Xperia ZL and I said to myself I'll wait till it gets released. Then the HTC One came and again I said I'll wait for this one again. Worst is... My current gadgets right now is only the image below and an iPod
Me too sold my note 2 on ebay. Need to buy either HTC ONE or S4. Will buy Gs4 only if it offers better design which is not likely to happen. With One i can sacrifice a small performance for better design and boomsound. Moreover 4mp os enough for me and if it increases pics quality it would be better for me

Well, sir.
I am currently stuck with a Pink Samsung Instinct.
And I'm not a woman.
Am i making the right decision?! Haha i'm just kidding I had the Note 2 and while i loved it i only used the s-pen a few number of times and never used all the features and to be honest and the phone was a little too big for me. I always thought that 5" was the perfect size for a phone and after playing with the phone today at the AT&T store i realized the LG has almost the same specs as the N3 and is 5.2" and it feels really really nice in the hands. I still think the best feeling phone that i've owned is the HTC DNA, but the G2 is a close 2nd. Another plus side is the G2 is actually cheaper for me (AT&T Next plan) and i'm not really feeling the faux leather backing on the N3. Did any of you guys go from the N3 to the G2?

I was going to purchase the Note 3 when it came out, but picked up the G2 today instead. I don't use any of the software upgrades that samsung provides, because I always use custom ROMs. I also wasn't planning on using the stylus ever. The G2's screen is a little smaller, but it's also an IPS screen (which is WAY better).
The only things I don't like is that battery is nonremovable and there's no SD card slot. That being said, I got it for $139 brand new. You just can't beat that.

i actually like phones that have non-removable batteries! One thing that drove me nuts was that flimsy battery cover on the note 2
I was thinking of getting this over the Note 3 that I Pre-ordered. Think I might buy it off contract tomorrow so I can test it for 2 weeks before the note 3. ATT only charges 36 dollar return fee if you don't like it.
If you have a costco account you can buy it from their and you will have a 90 day window to return it.
so as the title states what would you guys rather have (att contract LG G3) or the 64GB One Plus One
The oneplus is a great phone but its hard to obtain due to the invite crap they do. If you have an invite I'd say buy both and see what you prefer. If you don't have an invite why even think which one to get.
say you had both boxed up on your desk right now.
They both have similar specs and camera too
both have s801,3gb ram, same sony camera sensor but the one plus is half the price and you need invite which is hard to get.
oh and then lg g3 have so called laser focus like dslr but anandtech proved that its not really a laser focus like dslr
http://www.anandtech.com/show/8062/a-closer-look-at-the-g3s-ir-laser-auto-focus-system
im just saying like if you had both still in box and had to give one up witch one would you keep? (and it would be your daily driver phone)
I previously posted my review of the OnePlus One over on the OnePlus forum but I guess I might as well post it here as well for others debating between the two...
TL;DR: I ordered the OnePlus One and the LG G3. When they arrived I was so unimpressed with the Oneplus One that I sold it to a coworker for the original price I paid and happily kept the G3.
Detailed version...
I won an invite from the Storm Of Invites about 5 weeks ago. I promptly placed an order and the phone arrived last Tuesday. However, while the phone was in transit I started doing more research to see if it really was the phone for me and if there were other options out there. In the end I chose to sell it to my co-worker and order the LG G3 instead. After doing my research I felt the G3 would better fit my needs. Once I finally got my hands on the OnePlus One in person and played with it for a bit I was VERY glad that I sold the One to my co-worker and opted for the G3 instead.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of pros to the One, but the cons greatly outweighed them for me...
Pros:
- It's very snappy. It feels as snappy right out of the box as my Nexus 5 did with all the tweaks and CM11 installed. It was definitely snappier than the G3 right out of the box. (But after some minor tweaking I can now say that the G3 is as fast.)
- The back plate of the phone feels fantastic in the hand. It's very premium and will hold up vey well to scratching.
- The reviews convinced me that the phone would be too big for use with one hand. This is actually not the case. I don't have large hands by any means and can say that the One feels great in one hand. I was not afraid of dropping it at all.
- Overall the phone feels like a premium ($600+) device and I'd argue that the overall feel is higher quality than the LG G3.
Cons:
- The d*** yellow tint at the bottom of the screen. I read about it from many users before receiving my phone. Some said it was very noticeable while others said it wasn't a big deal. However, the yellow tint is definitely there, it absolutely is noticeable on light grey/white backgrounds, and there is no doubt in my mind that it is a defect. The fact that OnePlus refuses to admit this is a defect and replace phones with this issue is very off-putting and tells me a lot about the company.
- Chrome bezels. This is personal preference but I hate phones with chrome bezels because they just scratch way too easily, in my experience. I wasn't a fan of the chrome bezels on my Nexus 4 and I surely don't like them on the OnePlus One. I have no doubt that they will get scratched up (even with a case) rather quickly.
- While the phone does feel good in one hand, it's still too tall. The height of the phone is borderline awkward looking in person. OnePlus really should have eliminated the capacitive buttons and tried trimming the bottom bezel down a bit.
- Piggy backing off that last one, why the hell does it have capacitive buttons? Google designed great on screen buttons for a reason. There is no need to tack on additional buttons as well. OnePlus should have left that B.S. with HTC and Samsung. I understand you can disable them for the on screen buttons but it's redundant and unnecessary to have them.
...
Anyway, aside from the yellow tint (which definitely would be a deal breaker on its own), the remaining "cons" would not be big issues individually. However, when combined, they made me significantly less impressed with the phone as a whole. Had I not sold the phone to my co-worker I would have returned it for a full refund.
For those who may be curious, here are 2 other big reasons why I decided to go with the G3 before the OnePlus One even arrived...
- Wifi calling (T-Mobile). The One will never have this feature and since my cell reception at home is horrendous, I've been wanting to get a phone capable of Wifi calling on T-Mobile for a while now.
- After watching MANY reviews of the OnePlus One and LG G3 over the past month or so, it seems everyone was most impressed with the G3's camera. The extremely fast laser focus is a very cool feature that I plan on making good use of. So far it's lived up to the hype.
- Buttons on the back instead of the sides. To me this is a great evolution of the smart phone. Over the past few years I've grown quite annoyed of side buttons that tend to cause issues with cases fitting perfectly and getting accidentally pressed when pulling the phone from your pocket. Plus I've felt that it can be awkward to access side buttons properly with one hand without feeling like you are going to drop the phone. The back buttons on the G3 are very welcomed, in my opinion.
@sn0warny great review. @therussiann although the oneplus sounds appealing I've read that its had a lot of issues software wise. And cm needs to push a lot of updates to fix these. It would be an awesome phone just needs a lot of refinement. That said G3 all the way

I am a nexus 5 user. but i would get G3 over 1+1.
I have the oneplus 64gb black one in my pocket right now along side my nexus 5. I got it yesterday and wanted to test it out before deciding what to do. I also have an lg g3 coming tomorrow as well so im going to have all 3 at once to make my choice.
I can tell you right now i really really like the oneplus one. feels great in hand and the sandstone back cover is money. It is a little tall though. I will probably be selling it in favor of the lg g3. Check swappa soon for my post. phone is fast and awesome just not fully my scene i think. Will know for sure once i have a couple days with the g3...i played with one last night and it was really really nice
oneplus one is like big foot ....
This poll i a G3 forum is kind of pointless. We already know what the results will be. But I know LG will stand by their product and make good on their warranty. A new company coming in and trying to do things cheaply raises concerns for me in that area, and the apparent screen issue in the above comment reinforces that.
But I'm also a college student and don't have the money to just get another phone if mine has problems.
A big reason I stayed away from the OPO, is ease of repairs/replacement. Judging by how shady ONE Plus' business practices are, I feel you'd have to jump through hoops to get anything fixed.
lol, you never take poll in a biased community my friend. but LG g3 all day and every day...the phone is better, the company is better, warranty is better, shipping is better, obtainability is better, company honesty is better, screen is better (no yellow)...what else...
Lg. Simply cause I'm not interested in following contests and begging for invites. I rather walk into a store and buy my phone.
I'm using both the One plus one and G3 over the last couple of days. I'm liking the OPO over G3 currently mainly because it is more snappier and feels better in the hand than G3. I feel the G3 is little too wide to be held comfortably for long durations of time. The camera is better in the G3. Overall the OPO is a great value compared to G3 or other flagship if you could get hold of one at the actual price.

Truth is I still love my nexus 5 over all. I will use the g3 until the nexus 6 drops probably

If the G3 feels too wide, then the OPO would feel even wider, given it's the wider device.

No it's not because I'm using them both. OPO is taller and G3 is wider.
So it's been a few months since I've been planning to replace my old Sammy Note 3, and now I can finally do it. And since I took the decision to replace it, I kept looking at comparisons between all the flagships out there, and the concluding battle is left between the V20 and the S7 Edge. Why I'm still conflicted after all this time is because of a couple of things: I've seen that the S7's camera is a bit better in the reviews, but most of them were testing using V20 test versions, so I believe the camera quality improved a bit, and I'm also a big lover of landscapes so the wide angle camera will surely come in handy... There's also that thing that V20's camera lenses suddenly crack, but I've seen that it sometimes happens with the S7 too, so I don't really know. And last but not the least, the fact that the speaker gets broken. Sure, all the technical problems wouldn't be much trouble if the phone wasn't such a ***** to get your hands on here in Romania, so I don't know what they are going to repair and what not with the included warranty.
Edge for sure.
The v20 dosent have it....
LG is bad at building phones.
Saumsung is much better not including the note 7.
and samsung have a grater devs forum.
Samsung is garbage now. I have never owned an LG product but have always had Sammy devices and an HTC........LG V20 is the best phone I've ever had. Only thing is its not water resistant but who wants to put their phone in water? Not me......You will be happy with the LG.....Sammy is not that great anymore. Plus I've taken 4 or 5 phones back as they have had hardware issues. I use phones hard......LG is doing a great job and under the radar.
Carried the s7.. the edeg.. note 7... this lg v20.. the htc 10.. the note 5..
The htc is falling behind with poor cameras but they have oem bootloader unlocks supported by htc some what.
The lg v20 has a good camera.. and the landscapes are cool... but lg phones in the past have been overheating and dying within 2 years and have had some design flaws. The v20 is big and bright.. but does make me worry how long it really will last with my kinda use.
And the samsung series..
Man.. I love my samasungs.. I miss the oled screens they use and how rich the colors are. And their camera is great also..I loved the note 7 and it luckily was rooted with a leaked img almost same day.. and here leads me to the cons.. everything s7 and newer is going to be bootloader locked. Root is going to be a lot harder and gonna take longer or be blocked almost fully because of this in the future without a leak or a bunch of devs.. this put me off samsung until they can provide a unlock..
So take it as is.. get what you want and underatand the pros and cons.. some will have to do with market base to and witch devices get the most love and development..
Maybe a pixel xl? Lol
Definitely the V20, I just sold my S7 Edge and I'm not looking back. Audio quality is the best of any smartphone without the need for an external AMP/DAC. The fingerprint sensor is so much better/more accurate on the V20 and it doesn't have an annoying edge that you hit all the time with the palm of your hand. Also it has USB-C which IMO is much better than Micro USB, more solid connection and faster transfer speeds.
Oh and don't forget the IR blaster, how many other phones have one? So useful.

There are water resistant cases for the V20 on Amazon.
LG will always be my favourite
LG any day (G5 or V20) They offer smoother UI than TouchWiz ! Samsung although have same specs as any 2016 flagships do, they lag and slow down over time! Also since "water resistance" phone like S7 Edge is being overrated trend they follow, this causes the S7 Edge loudspeaker behave badly after dunging it in water, the speaker quality comes out worse on any volume. Just look how LG is never copying design language as S7 looks almost an iPhone, how LG is being innovative on their own. I can't wait for the amazing LG G6 which is supposed to launch 1 month earlier than the Galaxy S8 (i'm more interested in G6 rather than S8)
All I can say is that I loved my v10, and then have it to my mom, and she loves it. Now I have a v20 and and love it just even more! Only thing I miss is the rear mounted buttons, but overall an awesome phone! I'll take it over the glued together Sammie's and iPhones all day long!

As someone suggested above, you should make a similar post in the samsung s7 edge forum. The main reason why I went with the V20 is the removable battery, the Quick Charging 3.0 (aftermarket), USB type-c port, USB 3.0 speed (aftermarket) and flat screen.

I'm really tempted to get the V20. But I'm pretty set on getting one with 6GB of RAM. I want to be futureproofed somewhat. I tend to run a LOT of apps, so I need the memory.
I had the S7 Edge before my V20 and although I miss the AMOLED display I am much happier with the V20. The V20 does not lag at all, it is very snappy. The dual lens camera is stunning on the V20, especially the wide angle lens. USB C, out of the box Android N, factory installed screen protector, and a simple and lightweight LG launcher are reasons to choose the V20 IMO.
