One hour!
meh shit camera, fragile as hell. MOTO X seems to do more than the n4 is doing. Who cares about quad core if it runs just as smooth.

fixed!

all the peeps say their Nexus 4 gets LTE on T-Mobile...
just about everything on the phone is better than the nexus 4. bigger screen, battery, same RAM, better graphics, arguably more efficient processor, LTE...
Yay on one carrier in the entire world...lol Still not real lte.
How is it slower?

but it's "plastic junk" not "premium materials" so overall the specs are better. and isn't the screen smaller?
Damn it, Faceless.
How many times do we have to say that "premium" doesn't mean metal. The matte soft touch plastic that Motorola used to use on the early Droids and HTC uses on the 8X are fine materials.
Samsung just uses that weird, jelly sticker coating on everything along with the flimsy ass back covers.

the carbon fiber back looks better than the glass IMO and is less likely to crack. the screen on the X is 4.7 in with most often 4.5in of usable real-estate because of software navigation buttons

i think that was in reference to the quad core vs dual core cpu...
personally, i will wait for a full suite of benchmarks to be run on both devices with stock 4.3

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
LoL @ All of you
zomg it is the same as the nexus 4
Not it isn't
Yes it is slightly worse with a slower processor
It isn't the same because it has a better CPU and GPU oh and a bigger screen
Ugh isn't the screen smaller dude
But this has LTE
Nexus 4 does do
Only on some technicality that works only for T-Mobile
But that counts yo

i'm merely repeating what everyone else said when i clowned the Nexus 4.
I kind of figured that. But in actual real world use is there a difference? I doubt it, just numbers on paper,

How can it have better graphics if it uses the same Adreno 320? If anything some games might end up being CPU limited by the weaker dual core Krait.

that's what i'm saying about this android mobile handset from Google. there is already a nexus 4. why does this deserve to exist at the same price, is there a difference?
higher clock? more efficient hardware revision? the bench we saw had fantastic numbers.

Are you saying that we shouldn't trust the Chinese? Damn, get with the times, Talon.
I'd say the same if it the source was a Tweet, a Facebook post, or an Orkut po...ahahah hahahaha.
I couldn't finish that one.
There's obviously alot, all of which had been listed. For the same price as the 8 GB N4. Its much better to me. If this is the price.
The Faceless Master

If its $300 it will be less. 16 GB n4 is $350.

~~~the cloud~~~ makes up for the difference in storage capacity
something something "why don't they make an 8GB version for $250?"
'because thats not the way things work'
"well, they SHOULD!"
Lol....the cloud..cause everyone has unlimited data..ffs.

well at least that might actually have 128GB SSD and 4GB RAM and a proper SOC from the year it is being made.
$300 dollars for a pretty good looking phone with support and relatively good hardware.
I know it doesnt have s-croll and s-blink, but come one.

i could have gotten that in december. same price. ok, maybe january, not december, hahaha...

It's probably software optimisation, which will make its way to the N4 as well.
This discussion is a bit pointless anyway, it's not like anyone can buy a Nexus 4 right now so XFON is pretty much the only choice for people looking for a cheap off contract phone with half decent spces.
I'm calling you out when the battery is better than your note dude.

in stock on the Google Play Store with a free bumper.
we both know that won't happen. and the battery is sealed too!
I already owe andrex five bucks, but im putting another five on the line son.
thats how real this is.

and what are half decent specs? LG Optimus F7 is $300 on Boost Mobile
i don't gamble.
probably cause you bet on samsung

It's a nice price, but it's $100 too high for me to consider it, especially with the N5 right around the corner. N4 will hold me over, for now.
Thanks, $100 "Made in the USA" price bump.
Vanillalite
Ask me about the GAF Notebook
I'm still puzzling out where everyone is getting that the N5 is right around the corner.
My sources told me so.

I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but my Galaxy Nexus just updated to the latest version of Google Maps and it doesn't work.
Want to navigate somewhere? The wheel just spins endlessly searching for a route.
Want to see where you are? Sorry, the map will never load.
I rolled back the update and it worked perfectly again. Then updated again and same stupid shit. WTF!? How do i get this to actually work!?
