It's an IPS screen, and it will most likely be slightly better than the One X's SLCD.

Let me simplify that argument:Screen tech is the biggest overhyped feature on phones. There was endless debate over SLCD vs AMOLED vs AMOLED+, and it's all irrelevant. Most people won't notice any difference on their phones on any decent display. I got a GS3 and if I put it right next to a One X then sure I can see a difference, but it really doesn't matter as both are great screens.

Meh. I don't mind the design of the GNex or this new phone. This article was meant to generate links more than anything.When it comes to design, the LG Nexus misses the mark

I agree here. I thought the Galaxy Nexus was a big upgrade compared to the previous Nexus-S, put them side by side, and the Galaxy Nexus is a major upgrade, not just hardware, I mean the style, and design. But a year later, now the Galaxy Nexus looks dated, and cheap next to phones like the One X and iPhone5.
Surprised Google is going with almost the exact same design one year later. I think if HTC or Sony made the Nexus-Four, would look much better.

Good read for all you haters.
But I have to admit, that the design is ghastly.
Isn't LG known for producing great screen technology ? I thought most of the computer monitors and some HDTV's are really "LG" panels, and that Apple and Dell put their brand name over it ? Same with smartphone screens ? I thought LG produces some of the better ones, but they don't really get the credit for it, because others put their name on it ?

That is true. But obviously they've created a somewhat bad name for themselves with some of the crappy screens they've put out. So now most people just use the broad brush and call LG crap.

Yes, but you're not consistent in the hate. Why support Samsung after the Galaxy S fiasco? LG has done exactly what Samsung did and is bringing out top notch hardware and quality build with the Optimus G. I don't see you going out there buying the phone. Seriously, the Samsung hype machine works almost as good as Apple's. Name another brand you would trust to bring the same kind of Samsung fanboy enthusiasm other than Samsung or Google (Motorola) itself.Article is playing devils advocate and doing a bad job at it. It is perfectly fine for people to mistrust a company based on a product that they have generally had a talib wreck of a history with.
BTW, I just noticed my Amazon Appstore was way out of date. Was using version 2.6, un installed and resubmitted for a link, now it's 4.0.
Disappointing. Ugly Phone.
Direct link: https://www.amazon.com/app-smsHmm, interesting.. I'm on 2.6.53 right now and when I click on "check for update", it says "No update found." No surprising that this app has broken features, I guess. I'll try downloading the new APK then.

NOOOOOO! ****ING Chromed Bezel!!!
Whats up with the love for fake chrome or super shiny surfaces among tech designers?
I hate it phones, cars, mice, TVs, printers, headphones, furniture, etc
They should have just used the same matted black plastic on the back frame. It would be even better if it was one unified piece.
I feel like the only major phone makers with tasteful designs currently are Apple, HTC, and Nokia.
The Thrill and the Nitro had GREAT screens. IPS, gorgeous. The build quality is what makes people despise LG.
As for people saying that nobody gets on Samsung anymore after the Galaxy S... "I personally vowed "never again" after owning an Epic, but I tried out the Infuse and later the GS2 (AT&T's version) and loved it. Since then they've consistently put out decent phones.
Who cares? Don't most people use cases these days anyway? I know I do, so I don't give a shit what the phone looks like. I want good internals, a good screen, and an open ecosystem. So an upgraded Gnex pretty much, and that's what we are getting.
Indeed. Pretty much every phone I get, I'm going to throw a TPU case on at least, probably stay with the Cruzerlite cases. I love the one on my Gnex.

Dont people just throw their brand new shiny phones into gigantic thick cases anyways?

I hate all irrational fanboys.
Here is an early "review" of the prototype
http://tech.onliner.by/2012/10/12/lg-nexus-4-review (google translated)
I don't but it cracks me up when people do. I love it when fanbois go on and on and on about how their phone is thinner then put it in a case that makes it twice the size of mine.Dont people just throw their brand new shiny phones into gigantic thick cases anyways?

Eh, looks better once all the "don't sell" stuff is removed:
