        Google focus on Android OS and LG focus on hardware. With this strategic partnerships, you always has the best hardware with the latest OS.
        The is the best synergy so far.

                    Surely any complaints about LG not updating its phones are made invalid by the fact that Google controls them?

                    That said, I've never had a Nexus phone, but I was under the impression that they were used to test the very latest versions?

                    As for the iPhone comments below. They are two different experiences. If I was to go back to Android, I'd choose a Nexus over a flagship as specs and fringe features don't interest me.

Nexus 4 was so named because it was the 4th Nexus phone (after Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus) and not its 4.7" screen.

For the same price of an iPhone 5, you could also build a PC capable of gaming. The iPhone 5 price is also almost the equivalent of three 3DS XLs, or two Wii Us

I have to say, what a strange suggestion. Why, as an Apple fan, would you try to influence others to buy a soon-to-be outdated model? That would, in fact, make the new fans more aware of Apple's business practices...

Guess what. S4 kills G...Oh so surprising. Lol. You make no sense. You have no stand or argument. Not to mention Samsung is doing way more work with Amoled and has show cased many flexible screens. They are way more likely to bring the bendable screen before LG.

                                    Anything else I can teach you?

                                      Optimus G Pro killed note 2

                                      Optimus G Mega will kill note3 (with a qualcomm secret chipset which lg and qualcomm working)

                                        Sorry for those Apple die-hard fans who are willing to buy with their hard-earned money.

                                        Google Nexus 4 built by LG is the best Android device so far despite short fall in the 8MP camera. You pay the mid-range price but enjoy the flagship hardware.
