Samsung had a bigger marketing budget?

Was this posted? First hands on report with the LG Optimus G Nexus:
http://androidandme.com/2012/10/smartphones-2/first-hands-on-report-of-the-lg-optimus-g-nexus/
So it has a different form factor than the Optimus G? I assumed it would just be the same phone running stock :/
Interesting though. More round is better than the boxy look.

oh shit, ppl are getting HANDS ON time with it?? looks like the leaks will be heavy in the coming weeks.
No matter, I'll probably skip out on this years version anyway.

Both The Verge and Engadget dropped their reviews of it today, so I'm assuming it's appearing in stores soon.
Even as MS ports Windows to ARM, Intel is busy porting Android to x86. It's such an interesting time to be a phone geek.
LG Optimus Nexus seems to be the first Nexus out of the leaks gate. I wonder if the rumors of many Nexi are true. I don't know if I would be able to choose between Galaxy Nexus II, Optimus Nexus, Xperia Nexus, and Droid Nexus. Well, I know I won't be getting the shitty HTC Nexus, so that's one crossed off the list already.

Am I the only one that thinks the HTC VX looks wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than their One X line. I mean aesthetically. If that thing had the same screen/specs and stock android it would pretty much shit on every phone.

Sorry. I saw HTC and reacted reflexively.
In all seriousness, I hope we start getting leaks about the other Nexus phones soon. I only have about 400 MB of space left on my Galaxy Nexus, sooner would be better Google!

From what I can tell Motorola are not doing a Nexus. So far seems to be Samsung, LG, Sony and HTC.
Bring on the Xperia Nexus
I do hope Google have a grip on their process and having multiple Nexus with different SOCs doesn't slow down the update process
I'm hoping for leaks too, if all the models are 'less-good looking' than the current Nexus then I want to be able to buy the Galaxy Nexus before they drop it

Sony seems to be on a roll lately under Kaz. I never thought I would own a Sony laptop yet I have one right now. Well, the Vita is an unmitigated disaster though.

That looks fantastic. Would love to have a phone that looks like that. I think HTC is up there with Nokia and Apple now with respect to design and quality hardware, with their 8S, 8X, One X, One V, and now this. They've improved a lot.

But why does their budget line look better than their flagship. It makes no seeeeenseeeee.

I wouldn't quite call it "budget". 1.2 ghz S4 processor, Super LCD 2 display (lower resolution, but still one of the best screens out there), 1gb RAM, etc. Maybe upper mid-range would be a better description. And One X is a fantastic looking phone; I just prefer the look of this. Love that metal on the sides.
I think it looks sleek as hellAm I the only one that thinks the HTC VX looks wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy better than their One X line. I mean aesthetically. If that thing had the same screen/specs and stock android it would pretty much shit on every phone.
Can't even say whats the soc? This leak has very little info.
Also, " It still had the hodge-podge mess of multiple communication tools: Messenger, GTalk, Voice and SMS.
LOL
Yeah, that sounds terrible. I'm starting to worry. May as well play it safe and order the current Galaxy Nexus :/

coming from a one x owner that has always loved the design of it...
that VX looks downright smoooooth. love the look
what size is it? 4.3 or 4"?
i'm into big phones now, but the smallish form factor goes well toward making it look like a nice phone.
and you guys are right it's not exactly a budget phone. it's almost like a one s to be honest

Yeah, I REALLY dislike the sound of that. Hate chrome on my electronics.

well the pics are a bit deceiving because the verge does say it feels kind of cheap and plasticy but the design itself is great. That exact look with higher quality materials would be the best looking android phone instantly.
I think it's bigger than 4.3. Too lazy to check.
I still dont like that VX design more than the OneX. I absolutely adore the white One X chassis man. Love the silver accent around the camera bump and all. My favorite phone design so far.
Yeah me too. I dont want a screen smaller than 4.65. I absolutely love the size of my Nexus. Maybe a little bigger, 4.7 or 4.8 with little bezel, but dont shrink my screen man.

My dog was murdered by a 3.5mm audio port and I will not rest until the standard is dead
That's what you say because you haven't used larger. I said the same thing before I got a Note. Though, admittedly, my next phone may not be as large.

Is there like a mod that will make my GS2 take pictures by the click of a physical button? Hate the touch screen thing.
No, I know my hand won't stretch any wider. I cannot reach every corner in one position as it is
I saw plenty of Note's while I was in HK and they were tempting with that HUUUUGE screen

But did you use larger? Like I said, I thought similar to you. Check my post history about the Galaxy Nexus size before it was released. But then I got the Note and after a week, well, I'm pretty content.
I'm not saying a large phone is for everyone. What I am saying, though, is that you may not be as against the idea, in practice, as you think. But that's totally up to you. It's not like you get a $800 just to try out for a week and then return. It's way more of a hassle so I completely understand.
It's 4.5" with a 960x540 resolution.

Don't think any of the Nexus devices have sold that well to be honest.

Another top tier design by HTC. That looks really hot.
Droid Nexus if you want actual reception. Xperia if you want looks, Galaxy Nexus if you are sadistic, LG... if you REALLY love LG.
It does have a little bit of a N1 look to it, doesn't it? Didn't notice that.

Paul O'Brien just tweeted that somebody who he 100% trusts has confirmed an LG Nexus is coming. So basically confirmed. I really hope LG knock it out of the park.

How's LG with updates? Should we expect to see long term support with their Nexus?
If there are Nexii its going to be hard to choose.

People say HTC made newer nicer looking phones, but they just changed the material. They all look the same still...
I dunno might just be me.

SD card not a surprise. Lack of 32 gig option shows Google ain't listening. I'll only understand non removable battery if the capacity is huge or the device is super slim.

If you're not going to put an SD slot in, there needs to be a minimum of 32gb onboard.
Is this a reliable source?
