***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

Ah so it's like the Touchstone then I imagine.

Oh well, not like I'm charging my phone much anyway since I can't use it, I bodged my old SIM ;) so I'm waiting on my replacement from EE. They are delivering it for free after some minor hassle! It was £10 originally! which is a month and a half of my contract price, silly EE.
 
Right guys just ordered the 16gb Nexus 4 no more than 10 mins ago...... taking bets on when it comes!!!

Actually managed to have a quick go on one today and it really did impress me over the S3... the cost of the Nexus proved to be tipping point.

Good news is that it's here, bad news is I can't really be bothered to play with it. Long day at work and all :p

Manager has one at work and I held it today - meh, I've seen it all before :D

EDIT - Screw it I'm going to open it to make sure its not faulty.

:D

Lets talk screen.

The screen saturation is roughly on par with my Dell U2711 - so very neutral and natural. a lot less saturated than the S3 SAMOLED.

Blacks are quite mediocre and a significant step down from AMOLED.

Viewing angles - Quite poor tbh. Blacks go very grey when you start tilting the phone (almost like a TN panel), and extra bad tilting your head from the corner. At say a 20 degree angle the phone is very hazy - whereas an SAMOLED would stay pretty much perfect.

Hmm, shame about the viewing angles :( For me, that would be a deal breaker really. Are the blacks that noticeable when not side by side with the GS 3? What about light bleed?


Thanks :)

When not side by side, yes the im-perfect blacks are easily noticeable. Status bar and nav bar show easily from even low brightness whereas the GNex bars melt into the frame even at full brightness. This is all tested in my fairly dimly lit room (lamp on).

Backlight bleed is minimal - a very slight bit near my nav buttons.


BTW GSMarena review us up!

Email received at 1708 4/12 delivery quoted for 3-5 days, and still pending with no delivery email :(

Also I just found this on XDA and HUKD, its basicly a xml list of people who have ordered a phone and their delivery status, as you can see not many have got shipping emails!

Excellent, will read through it now! :)
 
I don't know what screen you got, but my viewing angles are perfectly fine. Can't notice much difference from my S II.

The colours are much nicer and realistic as noted in many reviews, which is a big plus. I thought I wouldn't be saying that because I've got too used to AMOLED panels with my previous two phones. Then again, it's probably because I've been in front of my PC more and more and I am used to "normal" colors (Dell U2410/2408).

whoa there - did I question the colours?

Erm the screen I got is the one that came on my N4. :D

The blacks are average and the viewing angles are poor.

The screen is sharp and the screen overall is great for people that don't mind the above cons. What more can I say.

My thoughts too - SAMOLED and a SD slot/64GB would mean this phone would have replaced my S3 LTE!
