LG Optimus Nexus Price and Released Date rumored to be October 29 and $400 only

Okay, so we all know that LG is indeed on working on a Nexus device with Google, thanks to the insane amount of leaked info and rumors about the device, to be called either the LG Optimus Nexus or LG Nexus 4. But other details such as the price it will be available for as well as its release date have eluded us, but thanks to a source of ByteNow, even those details have now been leaked.

According to the source, the LG Nexus will go on sale on October 29th for just $399 directly from the Google Play Store, though with only 8GB of storage and no LTE support in order to achieve that price. The source also mentions the 4.7″ HD screen as being beautiful, which shouldn’t be surprising considering LG’s recent advancements in displays (though I still prefer Super AMOLED displays over any LCD unit).

That is certainly good news if it turns out to be true, though with only 8GB of storage, no microSD slot, and no LTE connectivity, I’m not sure how many will be jumping on-board and getting one. There’s still a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM powering the phone though, so I’m sure some will be willing to make the compromise.

It seems that after releasing the Nexus 7 at an affordable price, Google has its heart set at making their next Nexus phone affordable as well, though not without cutting corners in a few areas. Anyone getting the LG Optimus Nexus with 8GB of storage if it indeed comes out for $399? Or will you be waiting for the higher storage versions that are sure to come later on but with a higher price tag? Do let us know in the comments!

  1. this is not good news, 8GB is too small. I would consider buying only if there would be possibility enlarge with miicroSD slot!!!!!!

    1. There should be a 32 model as well. When Google is looking forward to release a 32 GB Nexus 7, why not 32 LG Nexus 4?

      It may take a little bit of time, but the 32 GB model should be in the lineup.

  3. 8GB storage only? I don’t think so. I’d rather pay $499 or $549 for a 32GB version…

    1. +1

      I believe there is a 32 GB model in plans too, but maybe in a month or so after the 8 GB launches and LG has had enough time to sell Optimus G, which has both 13 MP camera and 32 GB storage.
