cool
It's a great handset at a fantastic price, finally smartphones are living up to the promise.
Contract up for renewal in October, when's Nexus 5 out (Nexus 4.1?)?
I dont think Google are in any rush to update the hardware if the current ones are still selling well. Not a great deal of new tech to add to what the 4 has.Quote:

Edit: What I mean is, there will be a 'Nexus Standard' which manufacturers will be able to use if their handset meets certain requirements.
Well I think they'll consider rotating around suppliers, but they own Motorola don't they? So I'd expect them to leverage that really.Quote:

I still get blank faces when people ask my what phone I have and I reply with "a Nexus 4".
Pardon me ''''''''Quote:

Battery life could be a little better but then again, I'm always playing with it!
Not had mine let me down yet, I recharge it most nights but it's not usually that low and if I'm home and it's idle it's 2+ days of life in it. I keep meaning to get one of those USB booster batteries if I'm out for a long time but the impetus hasn't been there!Quote:

£15.50 contract with O2 for 200 min, unlimited texts and 500mb with a free phone. Nexus was around double that.
Nexus is if you go contract. They seem to have priced it similar to One X/S3 territory, I think LG are setting the price outside of the Play Store. If I were to get one, it would be off the Play Store, with a Giff Gaff/VM/ other SIM-Only deal.
Not really comparing similar phones though, the S3 Mini while quite a good phone, is not the same sort of spec as the S3 or Nexus 4, hence why it's cheaper.Quote:

In fact 4 inch screen is what I prefer and there has been no game or app that I have downloaded giving me any issues.Quote:
