LG Nexus 4 Spotted At China, But Extremely Overpriced

(GSM Insider) - We knew that LG Nexus 4 sold out in many countries where Google released it. First batch of countries are UK, USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany and Spain. But how about other countries that yet to release?


According to IThome, LG Nexus 4 spotted at China before Google released it at there. The image above showed the LG Nexus 4 that found in China.

The LG Nexus 4 spotted at local shops in Shenzhen and Beijing. It is called as the LG E960 instead of the Nexus 4. However, the price was extremely overpriced.

From the information, the 8GB version of LG Nexus 4 selling at RMB $3200 while the 16GB version selling at RMB $3880. Google selling the 8GB at RMB $1860 (USD $299) only.

The worst thing is it only comes with a charger adapter and USB cable. No earphone as well. We are not sure where those seller got these devices from. Perhaps they successfully purchased it from Play Store with huge amount. This is also the main  reason why it sold out so fast.

LG Nexus 4 White Available For Pre-Order, December 13th On Sales?

(GSM Insider) - At the moment, the LG Nexus 4 black version still out of stock. The huge demand of LG Nexus 4 still yet yo fulfil, will Google introduce the white version of LG Nexus 4? 


According to TalkTalk in UK, the LG Nexus 4 available for pre-order now. However, it is not available to purchase alone but it bundled with the Nexus 7 tablet as well. So it is kinda weird.

TalkTalk did state that the LG Nexus 4 is in white colour, but will it be whole white? There are doubts on it. According to the LG Optimus G and Samsung Galaxy Nexus, the white version mixed with black colour as well. So it might be not pure white after all. The LG Optimus G is the latest flagship from LG and the Nexus 4 was built based on it. 

From the specs that listed by TalkTalk, the white version and black version have same specs after all. The LG Nexus 4 will available on December 13 but no price yet.

LG Nexus 4 Gets Teardown and Disassembled, See The Inner Parts and Component

(GSM Insider) - LG Nexus 4 is the latest Nexus smartphone from Google and LG. At first, we knew that the battery of LG Nexus 4 is un-removable because the back cover cannot be removed. But whats under the back cover?


Since this Nexus 4 is from LG, so this device is definitely made from the Korean company. Everyone that follow our blog knew that LG Nexus 4 packed with a special glass design that makes it looks special and elegant. 

If you interested to remove he back cover, you need to be careful because there are wires that stick on the back cover. Perhaps this is the main reason why LG made it un-removable cover. Off course, you need some special tools to remove the back casing as well. Not just normal screw drivers will do. 

After the back casing was removed, you can see the 2100mAh battery and the NFC antenna on top. There are still much complicated parts and components inside. If you are pro enough in those tiny components, visit iFixit for more.

LG Malaysia Confirmed Nexus 4 and Optimus G Arriving This Upcoming December

(GSM Insider) - Good news for fellow Malaysian! Seems like both LG smartphones are coming to Malaysia very soon. LG Nexus 4 and LG Optimus G are heading to the South East Asia country very soon.


According to LG Malaysia Facebook page, it stated that Nexus 4 confirmed arriving this upcoming December and the LG Optimus G is arriving this upcoming Christmas. The release dates of both devices at December. So we might see LG hosting some grand event to launch these two devices here.

Since LG Malaysia confirmed this news, then those Android fans in Malaysia that looking forward to these two devices can wait for it patiently. 

But wait, how much will the LG Nexus 4 costs in Malaysia? This is one of the attention as well. It is interesting to see whether LG able to set the price of LG Nexus 4 around MYR 950 to MYR 1150. We have doubt that it will arrive on such low price. The more reasonable price will be around USA $499 which is similar with the price that offers by T-Mobile USA.

As for the LG Optimus G, the price will be around MYR 1800 and above. This is a reasonable price for a flagship smartphone. 

With a few weeks to go into December, we shall see more news coming soon.

Photosphere Image Shows Camera of LG Nexus 4 Suffers From Purple Lens Flare Issue As Well

(GSM Insider) - When we purchased a smartphone, we hard really check out the camera unless you purchased a smartphone for photo shooting. But I guess, not much really looking in camera. Right?


Since the LG Nexus 4 camera packed with a 8 mega-pixels, it is still unable to be as perfect as those photos captured by DSLR camera. The 8 mega-pixels still far from the DSLR camera quality. But how far the different?

Someone at the Google+ posted a photo that took with the photosphere of LG Nexus 4, and he accidentally found out that the LG Nexus 4 has purple lens flare as well. You might disappointed with this issue.

Honest to tell, iPhone 5 also suffered from this purple lens flare in the past as well. So there are nothing much you can demand from the camera inside a smartphone, especially the LG Nexus 4 with just $299 price. 

If you disappointed with this issue, we advise you to purchase a DSLR camera instead. Camera of smartphone will never as perfect as you think.
