Definitely the Optimus g :)
Better design, solid build etc

But if you think that software updates (after jellybean) is important , then I have nothing to say but to let you pick nexus 4 :)

Optimus G has a 13mp camera sensor, and not to mention the support for more video codecs like DivX
But the price of the nexus, yep, thats the decider

14. BadAssAbe posted on 13 Nov 2012, 06:27 1

Video codecs are app easy fix
and
AT&T Optimus G only has 8MP camera.
I left out all the same specs they shared like
CPU & Ram
Gorilla Glass2 Front & Back
4.7in LCD Screen
1.3MP Front & 8MP Rear
WiFi Direct, NFC, MHL
Battery
16GB Internal Storage

app fix for running videos, but you wont get hardware decoding for certain formats, you will have to do soft decoding, which takes more battery

For me, it's price and Google updates without bloatware. LG has stepped it up on both fronts though.

Wait, that can't be €400 for 8GB Nexus 10, can it? 8GB?

7. Victor.H posted on 13 Nov 2012, 04:04 1

Definitely not :) I've corrected that - it is 400 euro for the 16 gig one. Thanks for the catch!

9. _Bone_ posted on 13 Nov 2012, 04:18 1

Oh yeah, it's €499 for the 32GB version. :)

I stayed up till 230am EST last night waiting for the page to go live and its still not live yet.. wtf!?

6. ardent1 posted on 13 Nov 2012, 04:01

I am looking to pair it to the Walmart/Tmobile $30 a month plan (100 minutes and 5GB of 4G data). I have to wait a few months until my balance drops on my Moto Triumph with Virgin so I can run both devices in parallel.

8. _Bone_ posted on 13 Nov 2012, 04:05 1

Cool, Victor. Near heart-attack there, now I can safely order it. :)
