Is the phone really worth?
It has knock code and latest version of Android KitKat
Also the display is 235dpi whereas mine is 240dpi so not much difference
I am thinking to buy this later but will it provide me community support like source code from LG so i can compile cyanogenmod from source?

It has an interesting spec list.. Seems that it will be around 19K in India when launched.. With that Spec list only the Micromax Canvas Knight pops out as having better specs. But the Moto G would make more sense at a much lower price and you lose only 0.2" of screen real estate but gain a higher resolution screen. I can only think of expandable memory as being a notable absence from the Moto G. I would recommend the Moto G over the LG specs wise.. I have had a chance to use the Moto G and found its performance quite good compared to any of the Mediatek powered phones..

Well I want to develop a phone and get a little practical about building from source code

You mean to say your primary objective is to develop/ modify or customise the Android code to build a custom ROM and build apps. That is you want to use the phone as a kind of developer platform right?
