LG Google Nexus 4 ?

P

I am actually worried about After Sales Service of LG
Also, does Nexus fall under 23k?
Secondly, does Nexus have a better camera than SP?

I think you can get it for 24k. Camera I think is more or less same on SP and N4.

And service I don't think there's anything to worry. LG service is decent, no worse than Sony.

It doesn't have a memory card slot!!!
Btw, which version is available in India? 8 GB or 16 GB?

Sp cam sucks. N4 cam is way better than that.

Actually its the OTHER way round

Seriously TBH after getting N4 you are sounding like a total N4 fanboy :lol:

Hahahaha +1

Nexus 4 camera is crap in itself. LOL. SP is too, so neither is noticeably better or worse

Where can I find LG Nexus 4 16GB with warranty for 24K? Only place I know to get it with warranty is Flipkart and its 25,990 there and out of stock anyways!!

Buy LG Google Nexus 4 E960 - Android Mobile Phones - Infibeam.com

Get it here @ 24990 after applying MONSOON5 coupon code.

Well, if that is the case, it is way out of my strict budget.
So, the next best thing apart from Nexus 4; is it Xperia SP?

get it from offline stores...price will be around 24k..u wont regret even if u spend 25k for n4..

Ya, that's true

Head over to eBay.in, and buy a LG Optimus G. It has a better camera than LG Nexus 4, has expandable memory and you can get one for Rs. 23,500.

Happy ?

Do tell us what you decide on.

Sorry. But hey, it has 32 Gigabyte of Internal Storage and it does have 25 Gigabyte free from that. So yeah..Optimus G won't you say ?

Well yse if the budget is not an issue, but updates will be really slow on LG side.

Hey!
Well, I already somehow managed to increase my budget from 20k to 23k. So, adding another 1000 bucks won't be quite possible for me.
So, within a strict 23k budget, do I go for SP (the only issue that cribs me is 1GB RAM!!! )?

And does anyone have an idea, if Key Lime Pie would work with 1GB RAM?

Just add 2k more and get a N4. You wont regret the decision.
