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.

The processor, RAM, GPU, camera and battery capacity are the same. The even best part is LG Optimus G supports microSD expansion which is not available at LG Nexus 4.
