You talk sense, and I love the pic of the dog with a deadpan face, it fits this pre-release cribbing perfectly. But please, don't yell!

So the 8gb Nexus 7 that everyone bought is a prototype then? That's a lot of money for a prototype.

You do realize that the 8GB Nexus7 cost $199 right? Also, it is safe to assume that Google is planning on releasing a 32GB Nexus7 to make everyone happy, with all the recent leaks. Why is it so hard to deduce that they plan on doing the same with the LG Nexus?

I don't know about you but 199 for a tablet is dirt cheap, probably considered stealing by my standards.
The Nexus 7 here in Singapore is 399. Ridiculously expensive.

It's the principle that they charge for memory like they selling you a ssd I can get a 32 gigabytes flash drive for 25 in a phone that's 100.00? Not that we won't have an option just that it will cost so much for nothing.

2gb of ram and 8/16gb of storage? Dafuq? Seriously?
How come there are hardly any 64gb options? Just unreal Google.
...

Maybe because it wouldn't make up for the cost of production in its sales numbers?

Nexus devices move few units, and if you make variations you're going to very quickly start running at a loss. So sure, they might could do a 64 GB version, but costs would be nuts --- would you pay a $200-300 price hike?

Same reason above. Different storage capacities require different assembly lines --- costs go up considerably. Higher capacities typically sell lower quantities, so once again prices go up considerably.

If it costs $X to set up the line for the 16 GB version, it would likely cost an additional $X to set up the 32 GB line. If the 32 GB version sells half as many units (not at all unlikely), production costs per phone just doubled.

I'm starting to think LG is the first Nexus.. and later in '13 the others will come out.. which sucks because more waiting ):

The problem is Google wants people to use the cloud and promote their google music cloud and so on... forgetting that most features like this are only available in the US... leaving others (Canada for example) stranded with 8 or 16GB to fit everything from movies and music to personal data and rom backups, etc... what's the point of having a gorgeous screen if you can't use it to watch high def movies? plus data speeds (atleast here) are still very crappy and not high enough to stream music and video in high def without considerable lag.. This is why people ask for 32GB storage and expandable memory.. so that the pure android nexus phone will give people OPTIONS, which is what android is all about.

I did a hangout with the guy that owns the one thats in a case and they weren't that impressive. Probably because its a prototype and isn't optimized yet. Quadrant was right under the One X and Antutu was about 9600.

The LG Nexus got bench mark: http://androidandme.com/2012/10/smartphones-2/lg-nexus-gets-benchmarked

Plus a lot people are going to lose unlimited data in the US. So we will need to store more music and movies locally, that is why a 8gb Nexus is pretty much useless to me, no matter what the price is. The 16gb in my current Nex isn't even enough.

that's funny, because i am starting to think the Optimus Nexus is the only Nexus we are getting this year. either that or the other OEM's are way better are keeping their devices out of public's reach.

amjadfirst · Oct 10, 2012

Even with all this.. android games are getting over 1GB a piece.. where are you gonna put all this? and why have a quad core S4 top of the line CPU and GPU if you're not gonna use it for such things.. even 16GB is now very small amount of storage when you think about it.. this is why the S3 has a 32GB and expandable with another 32GB microSD.. same with the note 2... up to 128GB of storage.. that's the right way to go.. and the price is still not all that bad... I just wish the note 2 would have a nexus branding.. that would be a dream come true

I call shenanigans, you've all been played.

Nice...

As with this picture: http://androidandme.com/2012/10/sma...-benchmarked/attachment/lg-nexus-benchmark-2/ you can see the LG Nexus has a 16 GB storage.
