Nexus 4

Nexus 4 is our latest smartphone, developed together with LG. It has a quad-core processor which means it's super fast, a crisp 4.7" (320 ppi) display that's perfect for looking at photos and watching YouTube, and with wireless charging you just set the phone down on a charging surface to power it up, no wires needed.

8GB for $299; 16GB for $349; available unlocked and without a contract on 11/13 on the Google Play store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain and Canada. The 16GB version will also be available through T-Mobile for $199, with a 2-year contract (check here for more details).

Nexus 10

Nexus 10 is the ultimate tablet for watching movies or reading magazines. We wanted to build a premium entertainment device, so we partnered with Samsung to do just that. Nexus 10 is the highest resolution tablet on the planet at 2560-by-1600 (300ppi), that's over 4 million pixels right in your hands. It comes with a powerful battery that will get you up to nine hours of video playback and more than 500 hours of standby time. With a set of front-facing stereo speakers, you can watch movies right from your Nexus 10 and they simply sound awesome. But what makes Nexus 10 unique is that it's the first truly shareable tablet. With Android 4.2, you can add multiple users and switch between them instantly right from the lockscreen. We believe that everyone should have quick and easy access to their own stuff -- email, apps, bookmarks, and more. That way, everyone can have their own home screens, their own music, and even their own high scores.

16GB for $399; 32GB for $499; available on 11/13 in the Google Play Store in U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Canada and Japan.

Damn, that phone at that price is really enticing. I've seen some info on the alleged S4 coming in March and it brings me to a cross roads. Wait or not?

But we also wanted to make this highly portable tablet even more mobile. So we added HSPA+ mobile data. Nexus 7 is now also available with 32GB and HSPA+ mobile ($299), which can operate on more than 200 GSM providers worldwide, including AT&T in the US.

Damn! I am sure that they will never launch Nexus 4 in India at that price :(
 
Was kinda pissed that another Nexus phone was coming out. I purchased my Samsung GN just a couple months ago, but this LG phone isn't as sexy IMO, so I'm ok with it.

such is the life of an android phone owner. people can hate apple all they want, but knowing there is one new phone coming out a year is awesome if you hate having buyer's remorse.

Problem is that Android attacks a lot of market segments. Is the Nexus 4 sexy as an iphone but it's got some nice hardware and a awesome price, so it's going to be attractive to a lot of people.

The S line seems to have taken the headline status and the S4 looks pretty slick.

If Apples one phone a year strategy worked so well they'd dominate the market but it doesn't. Android is doing a better job at capturing all the demographics, which you can see from the market share.

You can talk all you want about how they do it, and how much you like it, but they are getting pushed out of the market and in few years could be as out of market as Blackberry phones.

There's a new high end android phone coming out every 3-6 months though. Either way you cut it, there's going to be buyer's remorse.

I just like the pricing. I think my brother paid $699 or $749 for the Galaxy Nexus unlocked with no contract when it first came out.

Hopefully the Nexus 4 will make some others drop their prices.

Current T-Mobile phone prices with no contract....

Samsung Galaxy S II $499.99
Samsung Galaxy S III 16GB $549.99
Samsung Galaxy S III 32GB $679.99
Samsung Galaxy Note II $649.99

Right, but rarely do two Nexus devices come out within a few months of each other. The Nexus 1 and Nexus S came out close together, but I don't believe it was this fast. Whatever though, I'd rather have awesome shit coming out every few months than medicore shit coming out once a year.

I saw an unlocked GN on sale for like $270 last week. $30 less than what I paid with a contract renewal.
 
Unlocked through the Play Store is the way to go. All the carrier bloat is out of it and if you rely on Google apps for anything you can hit the ground running within minutes of turning on the phone from a productivity standpoint.

I don't think the one I got from Verizon has any bloatware actually, but yes, absolutely.

I don't know about other carriers, but T-Mobile has plans are cheaper if you don't have a subsidized 2 year contract phone too.

The unlimited everything plan is $20 per month less. They are only offering a $100 discount on the phone with a 2 year contract.

Buying it on a contract through T-Mobile would be retarded.
 
No microSD, removable battery and LTE are deal breakers for me. I travel too much to rely on one battery all day. I keep 2 extra 3500mAh batteries for my GS II on me for days that I know ill be in airports/planes for 8+ hours a day using my phone as a wifi hotspot.

Time to buy the Note II!
