Nice comparison, worth noting however that the larger the phone the easier it is to fit in the respective parts and waste less space. Would like to see some comparisons with an iphone 5 or some 4.3/4.7 inch phones.

It's true: larger phone = smaller bezels (proportionally), as a general rule.

Comparing with the Razr M, with a 4.3" screen, we see not too dissimilar results to the LG Nexus (though the razr is slightly better):

... hard to find a decent res front-on shot of the iphone 5 (too many pre-release mockups on GIS), but it seems to be about 73%:

Nice comparison duff man :)

Out of curiosity could you also do the one s :p



I think the front and sides of the lg nexus looks fine, it is just the back, which really puts me of it.
 
I kind of like the back, especially as apparently it's made of some high quality scratch resistant gorilla glass type stuff, I think it will look miles better in the flesh then in the pics.

Thanks for the new comparisons Duff, seems the LG Nexus is pretty much on par proportionally to other similar sized phones, which is nice to know.

HTC One-S: 73%


I have to say, compared to the iphone 5 the bezels do not look nearly so large as the numbers represent - presumably because of the more rounded top and bottom (I'm comparing from the very top and bottom of the phone each time).

Anyway, yeah, it seems that the LG nexus isn't too far away from its peers.

Only really problem I see right now is the storage, if the battery life and camera are good then I would be happy.

I would ignore the storage size of prototypes, the Galaxy Nexus if I remember correctly only had an 8GB prototype. We will just need to wait for the official presentation to find out these sort of specs.

So far though the major positive seems to be the screen which is said to be on par with or surpass the quality of the iphone 5 screen! :)

At this point even 16gb is too small, if HTC can bring 64gb as standard I expect everyone else too. Mostly due to the fact it wont have expanded storage, and right now the cloud is not effective at all, more so with me taking the tube most of the time I need my media.

I expect there to be a 32GB option and that is satisfactory for me personally. If there isn't a 32GB option I simply won't be getting the phone, so we shall wait and see. :)
 
I think it looks brilliant. Best looking Smartphone so far. The turn off is the crappy camera and limited storage with no sdcard. Needs to have 32gb/64gb option else pointless

The camera quality is 100% down to the software bugs and lack of completion, expect much different camera results upon release. I agree with the looks, it's one of the best looking smartphones to date, looks miles better then the S3 to me anyway.

As for the storage we just need to wait and see, if there is no 32GB option they are going to struggle to sell these I suspect.

16gb is enough for 95% I would guess, just look at the iPhone, i think I know maybe 2-3 that got 32gb and no one with 64gb, but having only 16gb would **** me off.

just hate the way LCD screens look when there off.

Nothing to do with it being LCD afaik - it's some sort of sub layer that makes it look black when the screen is off.

iphone 4 + 5 look black when the screen is off. the OLED desire was very grey when off.

The above photo's look as good as SAMOLED's in bright light.
