Recommend to buy AT ONCE!

*flame on*
Sorry...but: if the xda-admins allow threads like "recommend not to buy" to creep in here I'd reckon it is ok all the same to flood the topics list with equally silly "buy this" threads. I *don't* think it should be allowed to state *opinions* in the title of a thread, otherwise the *discussion thread proper* will become useless - I'd appreciate *theme threads" only with opinions *within* the discussion board. After all this here should be about discussing real topics, right? And if someone who just loves HTC or works for Samsung spoils the fairness of the topics list with "I hate LG" threads I'd say go get lost.
*flame off*
Otherwise - the LG 4X is the best smartphone there is these days. I have it for 4 weeks now and I own 6 other expensive smartphones and none even comes close. Your mileage may vary, though

+1 spot on!
Best phone I've used!

I'll admit I did find it odd that a "do not buy" thread was allowed to remain on xda, so there should be no problem having a "do buy" thread. At least it keeps the good and bad opinions separate instead of flaming in the same thread.
Mine is due for delivery from Germany today
Reasons why I bought this over the SGS3 and One X:
microSD slot
Normal size SIM slot
Menu button!
Doesnt look like a pebble, nice straight lines
Not glossy plastic
Available in black
UI is very vanilla looking
2150 mah REPLACEABLE battery
Smallest of the three

the 4X is definitely the best phone LG ever made.
I believe it's better than the One X because it's less buggy, more compact, has an expandable SD card and a larger/removable battery.
And Menu button>Multitasking button.
Multitasking button=wasted screen space on legacy/non-ICS optimized apps.

Can the O4X run 64gb micro sdxc cards at exfat format? It would be cool to not have that 4gb file size limit.

can't test, as using 16GB Sd, but can say for 100% - that internal memory is not FAT32! Uploaded BDRip movies (~8GB) with no problems.

I'm quote! This smartphone is wonderful, the best I've had!

The 4X HD is outstanding, i runs smooth and fast, the screen is absolutely great. The Tegra 3 CPU seems to have some guts, games are really beautifuls and runs without any pain.
I recomand this phone :good: :laugh:

I must admit I have been eying this device up but now I have Jelly Bean on the gnex I'm unsure if I can go back to ICS, plus LG are not the fastest with the updates!!

How are you guys going for storage? Do you wish you had more or is 8gb enough? What have you installed so far and how much have you got left. What are you using for extra storage, USB host? , WiFi drives ect

No need for more storage. I will struggle to fill 8gb.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I've got all my apps, books, couple movies and some high quality games and I still have 2-3gb left.
8gb is more than adequate for me.

I live in the cloud. No local storage for me. Some Play Music playlist(s) are stored for offline use. I use the N7 as primarily a reading device with streaming media thrown in for good measure. I have had all my media and docs in the cloud so 8gb is more than adequate. I may feel the storage crunch if I need to download and store movies for a trip...I guess we'll cross that bridge when the time is appropriate. With the Galaxy Nexus available as a tether, I just don't need excess storage.

Games are going to use up your flash drive. Just bought Max Payne which requires 1.3GB download.

Since I'm almost always in WiFi range, and when I'm not I will have a Verizon LTE phone to tether to, I left all my music in my Google Music account, which is what would have taken up all my storage. I was a little worried but so far it hasn't even phased me that I am on limited storage. For me, and I know not everyone will feel the same way, the extra $50 savings was worth it over the extra storage. After installing all my apps and loading my ROMs and emulators, I think I have about 4.5GB left out of (5.92GB user accessible). It's enough for me to put a movie on for a trip though to be honest I think the 7 inch display is still a bit too small for movies. I might have to stick with my 11.6 inch laptop for movie watching on trips even if the display is inferior to the Nexus 7.

8GB is enough for me. So far, I have 5GB free.

I have 2 GB left on my 16GB one, I guess too many games as I dont have music or video locally.
So it depends on the user.

Can you use your phone as a WiFi drive so app data can be installed on it instead?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

I have all my ebooks (a lot) on board and still have 4.2 GB left.
I spent $4 to get a pair of Xoom OTG cables from FleaBay, and found a couple of tiny PNY 16 GB USB drives on sale at BestBuy for $10 each. Thats more than enough to hold anything else I would use in the way of music or videos: 32 GB for 25 bucks.

Do you work at Google doing product marketing research? I demand to be paid for my user feedback =)
8GB is plenty for me, filled mostly with pictures of my daughters so I can show people when I run into them. I'm a proud (and crazy) father.

So just to confirm if I bought a USB otg off amazon, what would it work with? Heard it does not work with certain things??
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

The one I got was from eBay, listed as being for the Xoom.The micro-usb side has a 90 degree angle. Works with everything I have (four different thumb drives and a mouse). YMMV

I've got plenty of room. I just keep my porn on a thumb drive.

I use an OTG cable and a 16gb sdhc. Its also kind of cool to be able to use USB gamepads for my emulators.

Nexus 4 (8gb) - Are you happy

As title states..I want to hear opinions from those who have the 8gb. Are you guys happy with the phone...storage/space wise? Or do you think the 16gb would have been a better option? If happy, how are you guys freeing up space on your phones?
Reason I ask is because I am tired of waiting for stocks to show up and am tempted to pay a little more premium ($50 extra) to get a 8gb phone. Wanted to know if it is really worth it? or should i keep waiting?

16gb would have been better, although I find 8gb enough. This is only because I have a nexus 7 that I use for all the big games (Gameloft ones).
I think when usb-otg gets working I'll be able to get some big games on it.
I am a little gutted I didn't get the 16gb, but I couldn't afford the extra money so I had no choice
I'm usually on around 2-3gb free.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Perfectly satisfied. Have 4 gigs left after apks and little things here and there... I store my pics on the cloud (100 gigs storage) music I also store there. My games & movies I leave it to the N7 with a OTG cable and my 32gig thumb drive. Awesome sauce!

PSA: Nexus 4 now $199/$249 on Google Play

If you've been thinking about upgrading, now is the time to do it. Sure, this means the N5 is incoming, but nowhere else will you find a deal like this on such a fantastic device. And supplies won't last long, I guarantee it. Google is obviously clearing them out. Remember the HP Touchpad? Yeah, you don't want to miss out this time. Ever since I upgraded from the Exhibit, the difference has literally been night and day. Just thought I'd drop by and give the heads up. Cheers, guys!

I got the 16GB version. Only real downside is not having the option for expandable storage. Still, for the price, it's an absolute steal. Performance is incredible, dev support is great, and overall this is the best value for any phone on the market right now. I'd highly recommend buying a case though. Just take my word for it.

8gb nexus 4 for 200 was too good to pass up, so i'm finally gonna be moving on from this trusty ol galaxy exhibit. will still be around to keep my wife's exhibit updated with aoip though. any chance that team insomnia will be developing for the nexus 4 in the near future...? one can only hope! :fingers-crossed:

Yeah I pretty much decided against getting it, the lack of an expandable SD card slot is too much of a deal killer and would create a lot of extra work. That sounds lazy but after a year of factory resets and installing new ROMs that's what happens!

Not lazy, AD. I agree completely. I could overlook the size (possibly), but the lack of a removable, upgradable SD card is a killer. Technology moves too quickly and these guys have gotten this exhibit working so well...

So I tested the market for the Galaxy exhibit. Apparently, buyers are willing to pay at most $100 for this phone. This is in Canada
SOLD! for $130

I have a LG G4 and I want to buy new smartphone ... But used one for now.

Hey guys.. recently I sold my Oneplus Two after using it for 1 year and bought new LG G4. But I bought it thinking I can enjoy entirely new things. But unfortunately I lost my enthusiasm. I didn't love the phone for many reason. 1. Battery life is very low. 2. No unlock bootloader. 3. No root for Marshmallow. 4. Phone heats up very quick. And many cons too. Now I'm planning to downgrade to phone with good specs and not too high end. So I thought of choosing Nexus 6. What do you guys think ? Is it a right choice to buy used one with 203 dollar ? ...

I came from G4 to a Note 5 then to a Nexus 6. And would much rather have the Nexus 6 than either of those. I think you will be satisfied.

Sent from my LG-H818 using Tapatalk

Just this month I had an option to upgrade to a new phone. I chose buying a used Nexus 6 instead. I could not be happier. It has what I always try and make phones, stock android. There is still tons of developing going on. I don't even care that it is an older phone. I had the LG G3.

We can't answer that. Only you can. Nexus like you said yourself is considered old, however many of us would not consider the phones out now a considerable upgrade.

You need to ask yourself whether 32GB is going to be enough storage for your needs. The Nexus phones don't have expandable storage.

sure it does.. just not via sdcard.

I don't know about you, but in the OP's situation I wouldn't want to have to play around with a dongle sitting in my USB port simply to increase my storage space. Using a USB OTG device is inconvenient except in certain use cases, such as at home backing up a device with TWRP. USB OTG may be expandable storage, but it's simply not optimal. Thus the OP still needs to ask himself whether 32GB is enough.
I don't think 32GB is enough, not without being ruthless in your space management. I know you'll probably disagree, but I'm willing to lay odds that as an owner of a 32GB model you're pretty ruthless in your space management. Owners of 64GB devices have the luxury of not having to be so ruthless, and I really think it adds to the enjoyment of the device.

I don't use otg, but it is an option in expandable storage.. you said there aren't any options. I have a 32gb n6. I bought it in nov, 2014. anyways, 32gb is more than enough for me. and I mod my device, nearly daily. and have 2 3.5gb+ nandroid back ups in my storage. before n6, I always had 16gb. now 32gb is spacious for me. also, I'm an amateur photographer that only uses the n6 for photography. what I don't do is keep music on my device, that's what seems to save me. I use google play music services, and I always have that to use. when I take a subway home from work, I'll download several albums to listen to, beforehand. BTW, on tmobile, unlimited high speed data, in NYC

I forgot about USB OTG as an option. I stand corrected on that.
Like I said, you're ruthless in your space management, where I don't have to be. That however doesn't mean I'm not. If I were to put my stuff on your device, it would all fit with about a gigabyte left. Having used devices with far less storage, space management became an art form with me. But on this device, not worrying about how much space I'm using is liberating, and it's that liberating feeling that makes using this device more enjoyable.

ruthless, I'd never say that in this case. over time, I do end up deleting a lot though.

Had the G4 last year. Decided to sell it after a few months due to the subpar battery life. I do miss the camera and brighter screen, however, I prefer the N6 for the bigger screen, much better battery life, wireless charging and Project Fi. $200 for a used N6 is still a good price.

Of course you could shunt what you delete to cloud storage. But the fact you have to pick and choose what to keep on your phone only proves correct what some sites, for example Android Authority, are saying now about devices with 32GB storage: it's really too small these days, so the OP really needs to think this through. Currently Swappa has 64GB models for a low of $280. $200 is an excellent deal for a 32GB device, depending on condition. But is the price worth the potential inconvenience the smaller amount of storage may impose?
