Support NeoGAF

[Liquidus]

Can anyone explain why it costs so much more to get a Nexus 4 from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A9ZER46/?tag=neogaf0e-20 than from Google https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb&feature=microsite&hl=en?

Also, why would the Amazon version be advertised as from Samsung? =|

It looks like the Amazon listing is through a 3rd party reseller. Google heavily subsidized the cost of the N4 on the Play Store.

I see. Thanks... Guess I'll pull the trigger tonight or tomorrow. Here's to hoping I enjoy Android?

So I'm guessing everyone using the opera beta has the instant shutdown bug? Damn shame,I was using it as my default for weeks now. Back to chrome.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

The ones I don't get are the prices on ebay. Why are all the prices so high when you can just get it off the play store for cheaper. Especially now that the supply problems are pretty much over.

 

[Why would you do that?]

Huh, didn't know Opera's WebKit browser was now in Beta.

It works fine for me (Galaxy S III Cyanogen 10.1) but the browser is disappointing to me. To be fair, it's still in beta, but I can't see them changing the things I don't like about it, namely the omission of the smooth zoom.

But Nvidia awesome and Tegra boom and 3dfx and everyone else will go down!

 

[Keslord]

Don't see a reason I'd want to upgrade my 7 yet, still.

Maybe for an iPad, but that's fairly redundant

Google I/O is just a month away, we'll all get reasons soon enough. 300ppi 8" display. Believe.

Since they maintain the Nexus 7 line, it's not going to be 8".

300ppi 7.99" display then.

There still isn't a significant design win for T4 or T4i is there?

If even Nexus 7 is dumping Tegra then nobody will use Tegra except the Windows RT tablets (lulz).

[Vanillalite]

Wonder if we will get the 600 or the 800 in the Nexus 7. I bet we get the 600 if cost is a factor. That is still a big upgrade even over the S4 Pro in the Nexus 10 let alone the Tegra 3 in the current 7.

I'm not liking this rumor of a July release though. Give it to me sooner Google especially if I/O is in May.

Nexus 10 uses dual core Exynos no? N4 is S4 Pro.

They are not. They were 100+ high when they were out of stock in Play store. After that price went back to normal. I sold my new one 20? dollar more than what I paid. After paypal and ebay fee I lost money.

I sold it to a Russian so I guess Russia didn't have it, but in most countries they had it back in stock.

Nexus 7.99

I'd buy it.
Seriously, my N7 has gotten so slow lately. Remedied a bit of it by removing a couple of apps, but it's still noticeable. I'd upgrade in a heartbeat and give this to my dad or something.

Weird that they'd hide the lower price? Guess they figure it'll sell anyway and want to push the more expensive one.

It has HSPA+ *AND* LTE

Oh, and if 16GB is enough space for apps, a 64GB MicroSDXC is under $50

The most amusing thing about that leak is that evleaks and 9to5google have both joined forces to leak it lol. The watermark made me giggle.

Oh shit, Samsung teams up with Mozilla to build browser engine for multicore machines.

Tri-Star one step closer to dumbing Android, all according to Keikaku*.

Anyone have a picture handy of the back of their nexus 4? Everything I see online makes it look like sparkly hot garbage, but I want to see it in the wild.

it doesn't look like you think unless it catches light on a good angle. Otherwise it just looks normal mostly.

Most of the time it just looks black. It doesn't really sparkle unless some light is shining on it, so indoors you rarely see it.

Laggy, no inline previews, no tablet support, still has some iOS UI elements. Yeah, no thanks.

In other news, Sound search went live in the UK it seems.

 

[buhdeh]

I love that the Twitter app still has the legacy menu button in random places but pressing it has no effect. SMH.

Oh well, as long as it's gone from all the "main" screens.

Edit: Oh wow. It comes back in the compose tweet screen and the only option is "Home"... are you kidding me?

dumbing....dumpin...dumbing down. I was channeling the scene translator.

 

[JonathanEx]

Good, and swiping between columns is like OH GOD THANK YOU, but still far from making me use it as my main app. And still the HTC black bar of doom. It's preloaded on HTC phones, surely they can have a word?!

Oooh and good to see Sound Search in the UK.
