After selling more than 20 million units it would'nt be s3 which needs to worry about insecurity. lol

If they are aiming for a more midrange price like 400 dollars off contract they may be sacrificing some capacity. the average user wouldnt really need much more than that anyway. If you dont put music or video actually on the phone then its perfectly fine for apps to have 8gb, even if its 5-6gb after os and other files

Because they are not to be sold, why would pre-release hardware have more than that, they will never go on sale /slap

Don't forget they mentioned that this was just the prototype, so there's still a chance that the retail version can come with 16GB or even 32GB

Why would they increase the cost of building a prototype by putting in a higher capacity storage?

43. AcidSugar1414 posted on 16 Oct 2012, 16:52 0 0

Because pretty soon internal storage isn't going to matter. As long as you have personal cloud storage you're going to be able to stream things like music, movies, and pictures from your home storage. Check out Western Digital's My Book Live setups. Its awesome.

of course it's LED, what else

19. Berzerk000 posted on 15 Oct 2012, 06:57 1 0

Yup, LED notification, placed exactly where it was on the Galaxy Nexus.

44. 305Bucko posted on 18 Oct 2012, 01:38 0 0

its either a notification LED or a Uranium depository where a nano drop will give you an estimated 48 hours of talk time and up to 2 months standby battery life...
...ofcourse its an LED why else would they post that pic

buy this 8gb for $399 and a nexus 7 8gb for $199 will just cost $598 only for 16gb...

That way you can enjoy double battery life, enjoy big 7 inches screens and can operate with one hand when anwering the phone :)

I'm kinda envy that all iphone cost same price with 16gb and cannot enjoy the big screen like android user has... you should think at the positive site when you considered it...

hope my budgeting for you is useful :D

Its an early prototype so hold off your judgments until the product is released for consumption, I might get the LG Nexus depends on how good the camera is but I expect it to come with 16GB, which is what kept me from buying the Galaxy Nexus and went with S2

40. someones4 posted on 16 Oct 2012, 07:29 0 0

perhaps... lets wait and see.. might be going for the asus padfone 2. 2012 is the year of great mobile tech (except iphone 5. major blow)

42. peacekeeper05 posted on 16 Oct 2012, 07:56 0 0

No. They made the last two Nexus and it wasn't good at all. Build is very plasticky, and the camera is really bad.

The software may not be properly optimized yet.

However, that is a damn low benchmark.

28. The_Innovation posted on 15 Oct 2012, 11:39 1 0

Yea because when benchmarks leaked for the Optimus G (the same specs of the LG Nexus), they were rated on top. So I guess this is some prototype version.

31. Berzerk000 posted on 15 Oct 2012, 14:35 0 0

Yeah, supposedly this was a very early prototype from about 2 months or so ago. When it releases it should be MUCH better.

One thing I might wish for though is that the LG Nexus won't be a flagship, but will be a mid-range offering and the statements about S4 Pro and 2 GB RAM were wrong. Maybe Sony, HTC, or Motorola will make the real flagship Nexus.

But that is pretty much impossible, and those low benchmarks were due to unofficial software... But a man can dream

Wouldn't you want all of them to have real flagships? Why would you wish for this to be a mid-range device?

I do kind of want all of them to be flagships in their own respective ways, but I'm thinking about the possibilities of making a mid-range Nexus; it would expand the area of consumers it would appeal to, being cheaper and all, while still giving a good experience to the user and making a good name for the Nexus brand.

Making a Nexus just being slightly more powerful than the current Galaxy Nexus, that still runs perfectly with Jelly Bean, could be a very good idea. Though some may argue the Galaxy Nexus will be the "mid-range" Nexus because it does technically have the same effect as making this LG Nexus a mid-range, but I think the fact that this will be a newer product along with being affordable will make it appeal more to the consumer.

It seems as though LG is really trying to impress us this year with their selection of devices, and that might make the LG Nexus the best option of the possible Nexi in terms of specs. However, even though Google is holding LG's hand and walking them through all of this like a child, I still think LG will find a way to screw this up. The name "LG" just makes me kind of cringe. So, if they were to make a mid-range Nexus; they would have less of a chance of messing that up and making the Nexus brand seem less valuable. If LG can make a decent super phone, they should be able to make a great mid-range, you know?

And then there are my own selfish reasons of course.

Yea I was actually thinking about the Galaxy Nexus's future. It might stick around be considered that mid-range device you speak of, as far as hardware. But I believe Nexus is more about Software than hardware. Running on the latest and most innovative software.

But let's see how LG does when these phones are actually released. (the Optimus G and the LG Nexus). I saw a CNET review that said the Optimus G has a really bad battery life and the camera sucks as well.

I think instead of the Galaxy Nexus sticking around, it should be replaced by a mid-range Nexus. it won't be much of an upgrade, but consumers will be more attracted to it with the "new" tag on it. And plus there were things wrong with the Galaxy Nexus that LG could improve on. Build quality and the display are the two biggest examples. Though I really like the S-Amoled HD display on the Galaxy Nexus, just give people one less thing to complain about by giving them an IPS LCD HD display.

The Nexus is more used to being a standard that can be topped rather than a competitor for the best specs. But the superb software makes up in all aspects for the lack of pure power.

I don't really expect much out of the Optimus G, because it's LG. I expect more out of the Optimus Nexus because it's LG being led by Google. Google should lead LG into making the right decisions with the Nexus, rather than have them make the same mistakes they did with their past products.
