LG Optimus G or LG Nexus 4 ?

[EGY-SuperOne]

Hi guys

which one should I get ?

LG Optimus G E975 471$ or LG Nexus 4 E960 449$ ?

I want to get LG Optimus G E975 because the Built-in storage is 32 GB
and from gsmarena benchmarks it's faster than LG Nexus 4

I want to get LG Nexus 4 because I'll get latest stock android and because I think it looks better
I didn't saw both phones in real life only on the internet

LG Optimus G
+ Built-in storage is 32 GB
+ Faster
- It Will not get latest stock android (currently on JB 4.1.2 & I think it will not get any more update)
- It doesn't look very good for me

LG Nexus 4
+ It will get latest stock android
+ It looks better for me
- Built-in storage is 16 GB
- Slower

btw what do you think of LG ? is it good brand ?

thanks

I'm not sure why people care about benchmarks. Its not as if any modern top smartphone is slow.

which is better for you and why ?

thx

I have a Nexus 4 but have never used the G. Nexus is pure Android, smooth and without bloatware. Latest updates. That's what I love.

Well The Nexus 4 will the get latests 4.4 Update while the Optimus G will not... as for "slower" it may seem slow but the Nexus 4 is buttery smooth compared to the Optimus G. and what are you going to put in the 32GB? if you have plenty of songs, videos and movies then go with the 32gb but when you dont use a lot of memory (I use around 5gbs) then the Nexus 4 would be a better choice. It'll last you longer. and LG has been creating more decent phones lately... starting with the Optimus G then the G Pro and that G2 is just amazing. So either way I dont think youll have any regrets on whichever you choose.
My vote is Nexus 4.

The Only downside to the Nexus. No LTE. Not going back to a non LTE phone. Not even for updates.

The Nexus 5 was in the PlayStore by accident for a few minutes a couple weeks ago and it was priced at $349 for the 16GB model...

Nothing about the Nexus 4 is slow.

Still one of the smoothest phones available.

I didn't mean nexus 4 is slow, I mean that Optimus G is just faster than nexus 4

as you can see from this Synthetic benchmarks and performance

Samsung Galaxy Note 3 review: Jugger-note - GSMArena.com

as for storage I'm not sure if I'll need big storage,
it's just because nexus 4 doesn't have card slot and I'm thinking that I may need bigger storage.

we don't have LTE so it doesn't matter nexus 4 or optimus g have it or not.

btw what about the display ? I saw someone is saying that optimus g have much better display than nexus 4,
is that true ?

thanks

Why don't you choose N5. Its only 100dollar higher than N4 and you nearly get the point that you want to buy a phone. My advice is not going back to S3. Or you might buy S4 GE. Its only 500Dollar and cheaper than it's Released day. You will have huge storage and best performance.

I wish this was the prices in my country,
unfortunately this is the prices:

S4 is $791
S3 is $509
LG Optimus G E975 is $471
LG Nexus 4 E960 is $450

Galaxy S4 cost 759$ but i meant S4 Google Edition. It cost only 649$ in every countries. And its 6 months old and the cost must be down like 100$. So you might check again or buy a second hand if you know how to check the phone.

There are so many tutorial that show you how to know if the phone is fake or not. And check how the spec going well also. Hoping you get your desire phone with low price.

Good luck.
