Nexus 4 benchmarks with updated software

Must admit that I don't understand half of the things said, IMHO every review I have read have been favourable, so sod it, I'm gonna be one of the early one's and order on the day of release.
LTE isn't wide spread here, I dont need more than 16GB of storage, and I am close to areas where I can charge my phone throughout the day, I will not carry a freezer around in my backpack though.
If I dont like it I will sell it, if I do like it I will sell my S3.

See.
Good to see improvements.
What improvements in battery life?
Nexus 4 has sucky battery life.
LG Optimus G has sucky battery life.
From GSM Arena:
Web Browsing
iPhone 5: 9:56
LG Optimus G: 5:15
Video Playback
iPhone 5: 10:12
LG Optimus G: 7:16
Probably. But that would be sad to have to do that. I'm not purchasing a device that isn't supposed to work the way it's supposed to work.
The one advantage of all this is that Google has the opportunity to fix this before release.
Not if it is an actual problem with the CPU, like with what is being reported with the Optimus G.
I wasn't going to be an early adopter anyway, but now I'm waiting for a whole different reason. If none of this gets sorted up, I'm going to get an iPhone 5.
PSYCH.
Except for the camera, I'm happy to stay with the GN.

I am not that technically gifted but on what review are these damning reports? I ask the question because I don't know the answer not to start an argument.
From what I can see, someone put it in a freezer and suddenly it becomes a bad phone.

I wonder if you were this vocal about iPhone 4S' battery problems, or antennagate, or the Mac's battery problems when they had it. Are you this vocal about Apple Maps?
I wonder, I wonder.

And both of these fixes came from Apple post-release. After "finalized" hardware/software.
With Google, at least they're discovering these problems pre-release. They have the opportunity to potentially fix this before it gets to the hands of people. But what do you care, right? You've made up your mind already, I gather, probably long before any of these reports came out.

4-5 fps difference on the Egypt HD benchmark is hardly beating it handily.
It's certainly not a difference you'd notice, if it were even a game you could play.
I'm pretty sure that gsmarena are folks from the UK, so there is no LTE here.
Reviews claim 22fps
I don't see how a 32gb will be coming as that is what differentiates it to LGs flagship phone (also LTE + expandable storage). But if it does come out I'm sure it will be round the time the GS4 will be released making it somewhat unattractive.
That's a very valid point about the S4, unless you care about stock Android and direct updates from Google.
But regardless, now, instead of waiting for a potential 32gb, I'm waiting mainly to see if this thermal throttling issue, whatever it is, can be resolved.
Otherwise, Galaxy Nexus until Nexus 2013.
How long do cyanogen mods take to be released after google I/O's??
I really wonder if there will be a 32gb version. There wasn't with the Galaxy Nexus.
I don't think the throttling issues are anything to worry about, there are many phones running quadcore s4s that will soon be released and I do think manufacturers tested them prior to purchase.
I don't really care about these tests. I will find out for myself when I receive mine. By the way, does anyone have any idea how long it will take for Google to ship the phones to customers who purchase it on Tuesday? 3 days?

LG Optimus G says I can't turn up the brightness because the temperature is too high?? I've never heard of this.
Just took this picture in a AT&T store. This is not good. Why didn't any of the reviews mention the over heating issue??

Thermal throttling has been around for eons. Put it this way.....the S3 does it. Even the Tegra 2 found in the old Xoom does it. CPU will drop in steps with temperature then will finally shut itself off if heat continues to increase. I remember reading an issue that devs could see with the Galaxy Nexus thermal throttling. Never heard much from end users.

I'm sure the iPhone does it too. I've left mine in a hot car and returned to the overheat message. I'm not sure if it throttles but more then likely, then it will shut down at its high temp limit.
If there is an issue its not due to thermal throttling its due to excessive heat causing the CPU to throttle. I think we'll really need to until we actually get an end product review as far as the N4 goes. Software can fix this maybe easily or maybe more aggressively (lowering clock speed).

I did a little browsing then went to settings to try to turn the brightness up. That's all.
Yeah, I've seen it happen with others peoples iphones a couple times on this forum before. However, it was due to excessive heat like accidently leaving in a car. Im not sure it should happen while just browsing the internet?
I realize that there are issues, but I've been safely parked in the lee of technology for a while, and it's time to ride the bleeding edge again for a bit.
If I can get a 4 to me before Nov 21, I will buy one. If not, I will wait. I just wish I knew when Play would begin offering them (as in, the exact time EST, not "Nov 13").

Its hard to say how much an idevice is throttled. Likely not much since they generally stay cool.
But I imagine its the same way as the S3. It works in steps up to a scolding 120c when it shuts down.
But no, it should be very difficult to NOTICE thermal throttling when doing random trivial task like browsing the web. And typically its the battery that will get hot in a device from excessive draining, not the CPU.
