LG rumored to halt production of Google Nexus 4 in favor of next-gen Nexus

In my country, it cost equivalent to $500 in US 16gb...

Hard for me to want a Nexus 4 when it's not on Verizon and when you have the Note 2 and HTC DNA to choose from. The beauty of sticking with Android.
Maybe one day Windows phone 8 will get there. I wouldn't mine Microsoft beating Apple one bit.

I have the Lumia 920 and it's an awesome phone that is equal to or better than just about anything out there, in terms of it's build quality and features. Also, WP8 is as good as iOS and Android, except for the lack of apps, and most of popular ones that people typically install and use are there now...

How often do you charge your battery on Lumia? 3 times a day? ROFL

You must be crazy. Look up the reviews, and you'll find out that the Nexus 4 has worse battery life than the Lumia 920. It's quad core, remember? You need that as well as 2 gig RAM just to move that clunky Android interface around the screen ;o)

its time to call in Motorola and finally make a high-end Nexus! I want it! with:
1) replaceable battery (real smartphone I can intensively use whole day! Nexus 4 I CAN NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
2) more storage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats why I'm going to stick with Galaxy Nexus.......with 16Gb I can survive but.....

The whole LG experience would make me avoid an LG edition Nexus going forward. There would be every expectation of LG biffing the production of the phone. First, they under-produce. Then, when demand is off-the-charts, they produce the Nexus 4 in 50K unit production (per quarter?!) runs. Finally when there is a whiff of a rumor that there will be a new Nexus, they shut down production of the current gen Nexus phone. Now contrast that with Sammy who is still pumping out GS IIIs in the midst of rumors being churned out about the GS IV.

F*CK LG!

Yeah, it was mostly a teasing device over one you had the chance to own. A little hard to believe they'd stop production so soon for the new one, more likely is LG not doing good profitable phones and the N4 wasn't helping.

That, or Google will announce an upgraded Nexus 4 with LTE and fullHD screen - after all it has the same HW as a dozen 5" fullHD rivals. My next target phone is exactly that, but I sure hope the new Nexus will wait out until the A15 architecture is ready with some of the 13MP HDR magic, so not so fast, Google. :)

Completely agree. Up until then I thought all LG phones where crap plastic phones. Nexus 4 is just flat out amazing...

Worthless

I hope you are patient.

Unfortunately, it's made by LG. Hopefully Google dumps LG as fast as they picked them up. I would like to see a Moto Nexus, or another HTC nexus.

17. KingKurogiii posted on 14 Jan 2013, 20:57 2

fingers crossed on getting a Moto Nexus here.

I think it's just another moto xoom successor lol :)

shoot, i'd settle for just that. o:
it's either gonna be one or both for me if Motorola has anything to go with the next Nexus suite.
i'm really looking for a Tablet though being that i already have a MAXX HD.

because GSM is a world wide network than CDMA. unless if u like just buy a pre paid SIM card like STRAIGHT talk 45$ unlimited card if u like.

I know GSM is used world wide. In regards to the pre-paid sim card...now there is an idea. Thanks my dude.

That was google's plan all along...look for it sometime in the fall at the earliest. Make no qualms about it there will be a MOTO Nexus device coming. I wish I had the link to an article that was tweeted a few weeks ago where one of the google execs said that a MOTO Nexus is coming but that they have to clean house or something...a lot of crap came over with the MOTO purchase.

have to wait till GOOGLE I/O FOR 5.0 KEYLIME

shouldn't you be hoping that Verizon gets another chance to do right with it? we'll both be pretty down if there's a Motorola Nexus and we can't get it.

my contract is up in August, though the only real other option is T mobile, I tried mobile internet through AT&T NEVER AGAIN, their bad rep is well earned!

32. KingKurogiii posted on 14 Jan 2013, 22:43 0

yeah, T-Mobile is the only other option for me as well. i'm never going back to AT&T or Sprint if i can help it.

You are right Verizon dropped the ball big time with the Galaxy Nexus. I sure hope they get another chance since Moto and Verizon have a "droid" relationship. My biggest fear is that Moto will continue with the Razr lineup with Verizon but the Moto Nexus will not be released for Verizon :(

27. KingKurogiii posted on 14 Jan 2013, 21:44 0

i'm doubting the next Moto anything will have 1080p. maybe a S4 Pro, Tegra 4 or Qualcomm 600 though.
