LTE isn't even available yet here so it doesn't affect me at all :)

Pricing seems to be biased to the Google Play Store. Rumours indicate that it may be 500-700 in regular stores when it does become available (unlocked).

Cheap components? It has one of the best smartphone processors and GPUs on the market, the build quality has also been praised by pretty much every review I've come across as well

well maybe what Racer-X said is true, that the price will be closer to 500 when its released in regular stores. just for the low price range there is no way they are making money on the handsets

Even if it is 500-700, how can they hope to sell a single one when the Play store is selling it for a fraction of the price? Think we've all gotten used to expensive smartphones so the nexus 4 is a bit of a shock, though there really is no need for phones to cost so much in the first place, for example the BOM of an iphone 5 is around $199 which shouldn't be wildly different to other phones in the same class. There are obviously other costs involved other than pure components but the low storage/no LTE probably went some way to reducing costs.

Yeah even my 3.7" phone isn't something I can use one handed the entire time, and I often have to move it around to reach stuff.

First world problems

i wonder what color the sky is in your universe. you seem to suggest apple comes out with iPhone very often? as in every friday? clearly that's pure hate talk, since apple is one of the few that come out with their phone once a year, unlike android devices that come out every week. oh wait how about the gs3? no the gs2, or gs2 x, or gs2 hd lte? and it's not just samsung, you buy an LG, HTC comes with with better next week. Then assus the week after that, then samsung. But i guess thats okay for consumers to get bombarded with incremental upgrades that have a lifespan of 2 weeks, since you know, its clearly the more stable android, and where the last MHz on that CPU make a huge difference. if there's one thing apple does right, it shows that this specifications don't mean a single thing when you've got a good OS. but no it's kay to get that quad core cpu and see it go to waste because of android, as long as its got 2 gb ram its gonna be the best phone ever yay!

What Apples's S and G versions of the numbered models?? That makes a phone every six months.

Lol was being sarcastic and making fun of all the apple haters.

He was making a joke. Untie the knots in your nose hairs

@eferreira - Let's be fair. Compare an Android product that comes out today vs 1 year ago. You'd see that there are massive improvements. Compare an iPhone that came out today versus last year and you see very little improvement. Take your butthurt argument somewhere else.

Edit - Missed the sarcasm there, sorry lol.

Brother, have you been reading the recent headlines? Since the Samsung lost the lawsuit to Apple, it has been distancing itself from Google. It is rumored that Samsung is turning toward Windows 8 for their newer phones instead of android. Now why do you expect Google to keep hanging on to Samsung? Moreover, I think LG has made a superior hardware by not making it plasticky like Samsung makes each of its phones.

lol thats the first time someone has called me brother online. Apple only won in america because the courts there are out of touch and biased towards american countries its a different story in europe where apple had to apologies for saying samsung infringed on the ipad design. The reason why samsung products are "plasticky" is because putting so much metal etc in something thats going relevant for a year or two is wasteful and samsung devices have a nicer smoother feel(thats what ive taken from it) Samsung know how to make awesome devices and i hope they continue to android ones (i love my galaxy nexus but wish the camera has better in low light and was 8mp then it would be perfect for me)

Explain the nexus 10? which is manufactured by samsung
why would Samsung stop making android phones sure they lost to apple but to exclusively make windows phones is stupid and bad for buisiness Samsung pay 0$ for android OS they would have to pay Microsoft licensing fees for windows which is why android will always be the bigger is in the mobile department.
