Things are a bit slow in the N4 forums, so I thought we'd have a bit of a chat..
Early adopters of the N4 will soon be reaching two years of usage - I had one since November 2012, although I got a replacement one six months later because of battery issues. That begs the question, how much longer are you guys planning to use your N4 - if you haven't already upgraded, after all Nexuses are cheap? And if you are thinking about switching soon, what devices do you have in mind?
My N4 is still performing very well - except regarding battery life, but I can charge it at work and don't have to move around much, so let's say that's bearable.
Based on the recent Android L developer preview and images, the N4 should get the update. This will bring a whole new life to the device.
As much as certain new and upcoming flagship phones look exciting (LG G3, Moto X+1 - which will probably never come where I live anyway), I'm a big fan of the Nexus program. I played with a N5 a few times and it feels really great in the hand. Also, I really like stock android - recently I started removing extra customization, such as zooper widgets or minimalistic text.
So overall, I think I can go on for about another year with my device. I might get tempted by the next Nexus device though, if there is one.
How about you guys?
