AnonD-79514, 25 Nov 2012i believe that goggle should go with sony and not lg! howev... moreThere could be few reasons on why Google opted LG for Nexus 4 which I guess/believe
* Google wanted to sell Nexus 4 for a cheap price
* LG is not a widely accepted brand in Smartphones so Google can set good margins in their Profit sales.
But I expect the future Google Nexus 5 phone from Sony due to their good build quality and known for their popularity for to be the best contender for any devices out there.

DG, 25 Nov 2012Don't know why some noobs think LG is responsible for the s... moreI think the "noobs" are criticizing LG for not updating "their" phones not the Nexus lines. Because yes LG is responsible for that software, they get the base Android code and then fiddle with it for no reason, like all manufactures do and LG just appears to be exceptionally bad at doing it.

Take note Google, never go with Lg. There are much better companys like Sammy, Htc, Sony and even Huawei and ZTE.

No Lte is more than okay if the price is 299$/349$ but for almost Double price(LG, T-Mobile, carphone warehouse) it can't be accepted. It just can't be.

Don't know why some noobs think LG is responsible for the software and keep crying don't trust LG, the software is made by Google and will be their responsibility, LG only made the Nexus 4 that's where their contribution ends. If you were screwed by their previous devices cry me a river its not relevant to this phone

LG is lying. I have never seen a 3g phone get 51 mbps. Like mine is getting this very instant using speed test in Canada lol. Hopefully though this means they won't actively try to disable it in the next round of nexus 4s which may be why it's taking so long to get into stock...

I think LG is lying.
An APQ8064 SoC includes bluetooth and wifi but not any 2/3/4G modem.

Google why did you choose LG?
Samsung way way better!
Imagine Nexus 4 to have Exynos 5250 + Mali T604 and SAMOLED HD.
LG are the worst i don't know how they still survived after all the negative reputation, especially their Updates program which is all lie no update at all.

I think it is tricking the cell phone provider to connect to the LTE network but is using the 3G rather then the LTE modem, the 3G modem has a max speed of 22mbps which is what they where getting.

My guess is, the phone dose support LTE (as proved) But its not using qualified LTE components such as the aerial. But as its chipset has the LTE, its will work just not the LG's preferred quality, but its still better then 4g. Some one needs to test the Nexus 4 with lte with another lte phone and check if the speeds and signal strength is any good.

Who cares about LTE? And no, no Nexus will be released until next year Q4, like this year.
