The_Rev Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 LG Nexus 4 for sale at the Carphone Warehouse. 8gb storage, no SD card slot. No 4G (limited to 02 and Vodafone at the moment) means I wont be buying it. Not this version at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah 8GB really stands out as WTF, especially against the monstrous other specs. I'd certainly be looking to get one if it had 16GB+. I'm not really interested in a micro-SD, they just complicate things, apps are reliant on the speed or quality of the SD, you've got FAT issues, dodgy ones causing problems, code to cope with loading and unloading, scanning etc. I just want enough space on-board. 16GB is just about enough, 8GB really isn't.

The_Rev Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm not bothered about an SD card slot if there is enough storage already on the phone, but saying 8gb and no way to expand is just daft, isnt it? You can have apps weighing in at over a gig these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PompeyVillan Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 In the UK 3G access isn't as consistent as it should be (at least rurally), and our data plans are still relatively expensive (on contract). So if I relied on 'the cloud' for music, I'd struggle to get an internet connection when I wanted it and it could cost me a lot to stream. In a car for example, it would be impossible. I liked what I saw of the LG Nexus but I can't rely on 8GB storage. 4G is very expensive on launch too, but I'll admit I have no idea what the coverage will be like.

Eames Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Google wants to encourage cloud storage. Yeah but over sales? 8gb is madness - it can't cost that much more at production to go 16gb ...... unless there are other Nexii coming and this is the "budget" version.

The_Rev Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Aye, but they also want to encourage app and media sales! Anyhoo, I am now wondering if it is just a placeholder based on rumours because the picture they used can easily be traced back to this thread on XDA.

CVByrne Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm going to buy both my brothers and my mother a nexus 7. I assume there is no whereto get a deal on buying 3 of them is there ? Also for my mother I'd like to preinstall apps. Any suggestions? I assume the Kindle app would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 So after 2 days of using my s3, I love it! I still have 49% of battery left after moderate use. Any tips or must haves? Also how do I update? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
