If u want to use that line with 4G, then don't use Nexus 4.

LTE hotspot only for those with spare LTE data sim.

It will be mine soon, too!

Hehe...Enjoy. I'm skipping the N5 this round. Can't really justify it over how good N4 is running right now, plus I never game on the phone anyway.

That is $220 for warranty, limited edition and less Google's subsidy.

you mean google subsidise the nexus ???? I thought it is just because lower specs so cheaper...

Yup and the black UAE set is just $400 in SG.

Before the introduction of Snapdragon 2/4/6/800 processors, the S4 Pro was the one of the highest end processor along with Tegra's.

IMHO, Google is selling it near cost to encourage software purchases and to pressure other handset makers to roll out updates faster (since buyers may get the Nexus for its fast updates rather than skinned phones).

How is it low spec one year ago, heck even now it's still pretty recent.

The Snapdragon 800 is at least in synthetic benchmarks much better.

waiting for Nexus 5 with LTE.

really need LTE.

The S4 Pro is by no means a slouch. But the Snapdragon 800 is definitely better in benchmarks. In all honesty, no point comparing benchmarks, user experience is more important.

For gaming, yes, specs matter. Otherwise, it's damn speedy in normal use, even compared to the S800 models out there. For those who root and tinker (like me), can't justify the cost of those other models out there - only sore point is lack of LTE and storage space.

Anyone got touch screen issues after the 4.3 update?

Anyone got touch screen issues after the 4.3 update?

Updated right after I switched the phone on the first time and I didn't notice any issue.

Won't go back to non-stock Android phones anymore.
