Possible Bad News for the Nexus 4 Life-Span! - Nexus 4 General

http://bgr.com/2013/01/11/nexus-4-successor-rumor-289453/
This could turn out to be a very bad thing for Google and LG to do and would piss a lot of customers off. Especially since pretty much most of the people who have Nexus 4's are the most loyal to Google...
What do y'all think?

Nothing. Rumors are rumors.

Not this again. That article's almost a week old.
Not only was there never any evidence that LG had stopped production (it was just a stupid rumor that circulated because one article wildly speculated without citing any sources), but LG has now stated that production of the Nexus 4 is increasing.

I'm also talking about the quote from the LG man where he said that they are going to be announcing some new Nexus devices at different screen sizes next month..
There may already be a new Nexus release coming soon regardless of the Nexus 4 staying in production.

oooh not this again

If the nexus 4 had a short life span it will retain its retail value even more. So it will cost me less to get the new one

? Possible White Nexus 4 @ Carphone Warehouse? UK

I went into my local CPW yesterday to ask about the availability of the N4 this week, the girl I spoke to looked it up (big screen flashing up warning NOT to give customers any info and to keep stock in the back etc)
I asked if she could look up the price for SIM fee and she tried another approach, searching on the system for lg nexus 4, a simple screen popped up with the price for 2 nexus 4's.... now, unless my eyes deceived me, I saw one for "nexus 4" and one for "nexus 4 White" (both said £389.99 or similar)
Obviously as I wasn't looking for that info it didn't really sink in until a moment or two later so by that time the screen had been closed etc.... just wondering if anyone had seen anything similar? I don't want to cause any undue excitement, pant wetting etc but surely it's not beyond the realms of possibility? I had a quick search but couldn't see any mention of it...
Anybody? Maybe the o2 exclusivity thing has the white one as part of it?
I hate white phones so not interested, but one of you lot might be into it!
We will find out tomorrow I suppose, but you heard it here first eh!
(....probably been old news for a while or complete rubbish so slinks off to cry....)

Yeah there was a picture on Twitter a while back showing a CPW display that had both black and white options on it.

Ah, it's right enough then... I thought for a second I'd imagined it. I read that article too, must have been before the update with the white option.
Sorry for the pointless post then!

Strange we haven't heard anything official from either Google or LG about it... Wonder how it looks, as my Gnex is the white version.

White Nexus 4

I met an apple worker at the local YMCA that was holding an Iphone 5s prototype (so h

The phone was still 4 inches but it looked slightly wider, also the glass appeared to be bending on the edges like our nexus 4 does. The front facing camera was also a little bigger. The back was just one straight color it didn't have that two different material thing going on. And it was running ios7. The apple logo in the back was covered up but you can see the fcc and serial numbers etc. He didn't let me touch it or take pictures. Keep in mind I could have been super trolled with a Chinese knock off but it looked pretty legit.

Sorry but that is BS. If they release the 5S in the fall, it will be the exact same dimensions of the 5. Otherwise none of the accessories will work. And like past releases, no one is allowed to carry a prototype device without it being in a case that makes it completely indistinguishable from the previous version. Plus, this is a Nexus 4 forum, not a iPhone forum.
inb4 a bunch of "This is a forum about the Nexus 4! Quit posting about other phones!" posts, then eventual closing of this thread
That said, This is a forum about the Nexus 4! Quit posting about other phones!

Don't understand the big deal bozzykid...there's no need to cry or be rude simply because he posted this. If you see this thread and don't want to talk about the iPhone I don't see why you need to comment in the first place.

I like the nexus 4, because it's not Mic!!!

How happy, a phone that is not made in China, didn't believe it at the beginning, but that makes it a little but of special :thumbup:

Mic?
I don't really care if my device is made in Korea or China, these are advanced tech facilities that make nearly everything, not a whole lot to worry about.
Is this thread really necessary? *facepalm*

WTF?
This thread is a waste of space here on xda.
If I was a moderator I will close this right now!
And what is wrong with phones made in China?
The nexus 4 is modular so the only thing for sure is that it's assembled in Korea but every component should be made in any place.
But I agree with the rest of you; what's is wrong with Chinese made phones? There are some really impressive Chinese made phones (Jiayu, Meizu, Oppo, etc) and MTK processors are good enough for smartphones...
The technology you know about in China only scratches the surface. You should try living here

Lol.. China or Korea for me is the same ) Quality build is matter
I don't care where it's made. I support my Country, Canada, but I'm not going to slam China for making one of the best Nexus' I've had. Not classy dude.

Android 4.4.2: Insult for all Nexus users

We all know a Motorola device received KitKat even before Nexus users, here we see a purported Sony Xperia running Android 4.4.2, which is newer than even found on the Nexus 5 .
Is this the reason we bought Nexus? How unfaithful Google could be.

Most probably it's fake. Esp. the lighter 2 in the end of 4.4.2.

Fake.
Obvious fake.
Insult? Wtf is wrong with people these days. Clearly, its fake.

If you look closer that picture than you see that the font of the number 2 is not the same whit the rest so FAKE.
P.S. i saw some galaxy S3 clones and it said 4.2.2 but it was definitely gingerbread
Yeah, it looks fake.
This elitist attitude by some Nexus users is annoying. I thought that was supposed to die out with the Samsung fanboys when Google stopped updating for the Galaxy Nexus.
You're already getting good value for the price you pay. Why are you whining that Google is releasing (or helping to release) version updates faster for other devices, isn't that a good thing for the Android ecosystem. Is it necesary to have the latest version only for yourself to validate your self-worth and feel superior to others because you have a device with a unique brand name?
Can mods lock this thread please?
Also, now you know to not read news from GSMArena.
What does this have to do with last year's Nexus?
Even if it's not fake, it's unreleased and it's an incremental update. Who cares?

More marketing?

Is google about to mass market this nexus 6? I have seen tons of android and google now commercials the last few months. And have seen them a lot. And all over the world series. Who else thinks this phone will be mass marketed on a Samsung level?
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Free mobile app
Notice that you have seen advertising for ANDROID and GOOGLE NOW. Google is pushing their software and respective services b/c that's where they make their money. Whereas Samsung, LG, HTC and others are pushing their hardware while trying to emphasize their own software implementations. Don't get me wrong nothing would get me more hype than a giant Nexus 6 billboard but, as we've seen with past Nexi, that's not going go happen...
I see your point. I just feel with it going to all carriers and the flagship price they could really advertise. Time will tell though.

You'd think they would push it since it is being distributed to all carriers. I agree that they should push it and really get the Nexus name out there. I'm tired of being asked if my phone is a “Droid" or a “Galaxy." Let's be honest though, if Google did start advertising; they have A LOT of catching up to do!

Yep. I know the feeling. People look at me funny when I say it i have a nexus. With pride. Lol. But if anyone can catch up. It would be the billion dollar advertisement company. I sure hope they go for it. Sad when I walked into t mobile and all they want to do is sell you a Samsung. No matter how set you are on a device made for your needs. $$$$

I say they are marketing it, far more than they have ever done so before. They really REALLY seem to have something here with their current campaign and want to get it out there as much as possible (which is awesome, because I find this new campaign to be really cool and good spirited).
Even a few of the new android commercials have shown off the Nexus 6 whether it be a glimpse or the subject manner. It seems this time around with 5.0 Lollipop Google is going FULL FORCE on getting positive android appeal in the open market. Unlike before we are approaching something new and potentially great here for the community.
