BenChase7 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 ...or a new NEXUS!... I'll bet you'll officially hear about the next Nexus from Google first, not a carrier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autoprime Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 LG Optimus G is the new android super phone. Move over GS3. I need this in my life ASAP The new LG Nexus is rumored to be based off same hardware(minus camera). That means AOSP on the Optimus G should be a breeze. [READ AS: Good for future updates from the XDA dev community] 13MP camera could be good news.. or it could just mean more noise in our picture due to poor senors. The Optimus G also does not use on-screen buttons like the rumored LG Nexus will have.. which means the Optimus G makes better use of the bottom bezel space as well as frees up the screen real estate.

digiblur Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Unfortunately, it's made by LG My first thoughts exactly! But who can you trust now? Samsung burned me with the Epic 4G so I decided on the EVO LTE, then HTC burned me on that one and the Samsung seemed to be the device to get. Definitely be sitting out buying any phone until after it was launched a couple of months. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supert0nes Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I hope for a phone that will be supported by the dev community for around 2 years. Usually that's only reserved for Nexus phones, but the OG EVO did pretty well in that respect. This site will be very helpful in finding my next phone and I will probably sit out a month until antenna reviews come in and the first price cut hits.

Definitely be sitting out buying any phone until after it was launched a couple of months. While the epic may have been slow to start it has nearly every rom known to man now. The AOSP builds have no issues and are kept up. Evo LTE, idk on that one. My Evo 3D is pretty limited rom and update wise. I'm liking sense a lot and the custom rom I'm using has ported in Jelly Bean features (mainly google now), so I'm not really complaining now but with new features in future releases, I'll be tempted to switch later.

efyoiphone Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If it was the galaxy 7 inch form factor I'd be having my own personal Mardi Gras right now. Think I'll just wait out a nexus 7 model with LTE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dedub Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As tempting as it may be with LTE, I won't buy a carrier subsidized 2 year contract tablet without/until they have unlimited data. I will stick with either a clear unlimited hotspot or tether plan and a cheaper wifi model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No complaints on the roms for the Epic. Loved CM on it. The radio was flaky and so was the gps.

If it was I wouldn't be able to see myself adding another 2 year shackle to my ankle. An LTE nexus 7 or tab 2 7" with an unlimited plan would be perfect timing for the rollout in my market.

Sent from my C64 w/Epyx FastLoad cartridge I thought the devs figured out how to put the Crespo4G radios on it and the performance improved drastically.

MacinJosh Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The Optimus G has a nice sized camera, and comes with 32GB built in storage & 2GB RAM. Move over GS III, there's a new top dog in town. http://newsroom.sprint.com/news/lg-optimus-g-fact-sheet.htm With the release of these 4 devices & the Galaxy Note II, Sprint now has 13 of the 15 LTE devices they promised for 2012. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to admit, the specs look very tempting but AFAIK, LG has lousy support for their devices. Maybe an lg based nexus would be a good idea now that I've seen the potential behind lg.
