Nexus 4 hardware update incoming? - Nexus 4 General

Yesterday, GSMarena posted that the N4 will be updated with LTE and a storage bump as well. 16GB and 32GB for 300$ and 350$ respectively.
According to the leaked manual of the N5 the 32GB was said to cost 450$. According to GSMarena the N5 will cost 399$ and 450$ respectively.
IF THAT IS TRUE, who's upgrading?
The N4 16GB costs 400$ in my country as it is.
P.S: I'll buy the N4 because of budget constraints, will be my second Nexus phone, after the Nexus S.

Maybe if I could trade or sell my 8gb nexus for 32gb one that would be awesome

I'm waiting next year for the price cut like they did with the Nexus 4. I could buy it now, but it wouldn't be cost-effective.

That would be ****ty for Google to release an LTE version of the Nexus 4 this late in the game.. Anyone who is anyone knows the N4 is already LTE capable... To charge for a legit version is just a **** move

Don't think I can believe this rumor, don't know why Google would do this, They had 4 7 10, now if tis 4 5 7 10 it would just confuses buyers, and the screen size isn't much of a difference anyway. Also Google always had just 1 Nexus device a year, why two all the sudden?
I'd still get the N5 because it have the hardware for hand free Google Now voice interaction like the MotoX, which the N4 don't.
We already knew what happen with some of the previous false rumor like project road runner and theming engine. Just taking a quick glance at AndroidGeeks is already enough to tell me they are putting this up for more viewership than journalistic integrity.

First rumors were $299/$399 for 16gb/32gb.. now $399/$450...
THESE are all rumors... Dont believe it until you hear word from Google themselves...

the LTE capable is only 1 band... if google releases a refresh N4 with all bands of LTE, then it wouldnt be that bad, dependent on pricing of course...

Suppose it does come with all lte bands. I mean with Verizon and sprint you'd still need cdma for calls and I guess that leaves you with tmobile or AT&T still with a lte n4

i hope that's true. if they release a 16gb lte capable n4 ihope i can flash it to my og n4! then i won't have to worry about enabling lte every time i flash a rom update

it's only a d**k move if they release it with official band 4 aws only. then all it would mean is they pulled it and had a fire sale because they got fcc approval on the exact same existing hardware setup

If there was a Nexus 4 "LTE" coming, it would have had to hit the FCC. I have not heard anything about that one. I will be getting the Nexus 5 no matter what happens. Just hard to believe so many rumors and believers of the nexus 4 "LTE" where there's no leaks or FCC filings known.

FCC is closed. Bluetooth certification for a LTE Nexus 4 appeared recently. Its going to be a reality now I guess.

If this is the case it will suck for us who want to sell our current N4 to get an N5 unless the LTE N4 is not sold at such a bargain price.

If there is n4 lte I might just get one

Reports are saying its the same model number as the current n4, so it will most likely be a software and radio update to current owners,

Exactly. There's no chance a new N4 is being released, it's just going to be a patch for the current radios.

"Nexus 4 with LTE shows up at Bluetooth SIG, but it’s likely just a false alarm"

You had this closed once. I for one will keep my Nexus 4 even though I could get one,4+ or5. There is plenty of life in the nexus 4.im happy with it as is as I get hsdpa + speeds of 15mb/s +.
I'm not insecure enough to need the latest version for no reason at all.

Fken awesome! I hope we can get the Radio sooner than that though. But this is great new nonetheless...i was beginning to think that the Tmo Note was just a rumor after all. This proves it wrong.
Great news, can't wait to get better speeds...I would've considered trading my current note for it, but it looks like they will only carry black, I love my white note too much.
Does the T-Mobile version have the exynos processor since no LTE?

These dates have to wrong cause all new devices are released on Tuesday. They are just like CDs and DVDs, always released on Tuesday. Maybe they will be released yhe same week of these dates.
i wonder if it will have the Wifi Calling feature?? If so, I'm trading in my AT&T for a TMobile Note. Can't wait and it's on my birthday, whoohooo
I hope we can extract the wificalling apk and use it on T-Mobile sims . That will make my note complete:')

That's not true entirely my friend. As a sales rep for the big three we do release phones on special days sometimes... just like on certain days other than Tuesdays they release DVDs and movies and music and such. Discluding pre orders of course.

If they were smart, they would bring the exynos and advertise as the most powerful note offered in America or some crap. They don't need it to be LTE equipped yet, so it would make sense and give them an edge.

Has anyone gotten any update to which processor will be used see as how t-mobile does not currently have LTE???
The T-mobile galaxy note will use the same S3 snapdragon 1.5MHz processor that is used in the At&t Galaxy note.
This is great! If the hardware, is the same then we be great for us ATT Note using Tmobile users! Can't wait.
Just curious, if the hardware is the same, how is the Tmo version going to have 42+mbps, since the ATT version can only support 14mpbs. Is it all in the radio update?
Not that I don't believe you because this seems like the easiest and most logical thing for t-mo to do but do you have an reference's? Also since the hardware will be the same will AT&T roms/kernels work without any modification?
If you look at the 2nd and 3rd screenshots you can see the tmobile note uses the same cpu/gpu as the at&t note. The specs could change between then and July 11th, but my imo, i don't think it will. As far as roms/kernals go, i don't know. A dev could better answer that question.

Only an idiot would doubt that google will make their own phones through Motorola. Its more a matter of when then if.
Its not going to be a nexus I believe it will be branded as the droid RAZR X and will be realesed with 4.2.2 in q1.Google should have 4.2.2 by then.
I'm just skeptical about it being a real 'nexus' device because hasn't every Motorola phone been only sold by Verizon? Idk if moto and Verizon have a contract but since Google owns Motorola anyone would assume they would make their devices but idk

No, Motorola has sold phones on other carriers. For example, I owned a Motorola Photon on Sprint myself.
However, I think this whole rumor is around some "X" phone by Google and Motorola that _won't_ be a Nexus and _will_ be carried exclusively by Verizon. I'll see if I can find a link...
This has nothing to do with the Nexus 4 and since a lot of users still haven't even received theirs yet, we are long way from discussing this phone's successor in here.
I've already moved one of these to Android General if you would like to continue the discussion there.

Nexus 4 at T-Mobile b&m

Just letting everyone know that I was able to pick up a Nexus 4 at a t- mobile retail store. At first they told me they were in stock but couldn't be sold yet. About 10 minutes later this story changed and they said they could sell it to me. Pricing is different than buying directly from Google but it is available.
This was in Raleigh North Carolina.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
My local T-Mobile also has a few Nexus 4's in stock. I'm with AT&T though so I don't know if it has any T-Mobile bloatware on it or not.
Was the pricing full retail for TMO or Google?
$549 for the 16 GB Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile.
Full retail unless you go with a "classic contract". But the classic contracts are inflated and cost more in the long run.
I have not found any bloatware.

Nexus 5 coming to Sprint [Confirmed!!]

Of the many details leaked about the next nexus, is a rumor that it's coming to Sprint. http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/nexus-5-leaked-in-new-image-revealing-side-panel-439334
What do you guys think? Assuming it's true, would you still stick with your HTC One?

I'll be getting one as well. If its on Sprint, even better...especially since it will be tri-band and compatible with Spark.
It already passed through the FCC supporting all of Sprint's cdma and lte bands among others, this was back in August before the info got pulled. So even though it hasn't been officially announced for sprint I don't see why it wouldn't come to sprint when it supports all of sprints frequencies.

Sent from my One using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
only thing im hesitant about is the weak IR blaster compared to the ONE and the lack of an awesome TV app!
if it has tri-band Sprint LTE, I'm dumping my One.
I'm almost certainly going to stick with my One, as the spec bump isn't big enough to justify switching, and I'm really enjoying this phone. However, what really excites me is that there is at least a chance now that going forward, nexus devices will be on sprint. I can wait and see how this one plays out, then at the end of next year when the nexus 5 squared or 6 or whatever it is is announced, I will have a cheaper, easier way to upgrade early. Also, should something catastrophic happen to my one, I would have the option to just get a nexus as well.
In the past all nexus devices for Sprint were released a year later then it's gsm counterpart. If this happens again then its a definite no from me.
Its already passed thru FCC with triband(Spark) so i getting it....
Eh it's a nice phone but I would get bored with it. There would be no reason to flash a Rom.
