The Nexus 4 was a great phone in my opinion.
Had it rooted and everything for about 6 years.
Comment on Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update
PraiseTheSoup@midwest.social 1 day agoBefore the pixel existed I owned a Google Nexus 5 which was manufactured by LG and to date that was the worst phone I’ve ever owned. I guess my point is it doesn’t matter who is manufacturing the hardware; if Google is involved it’s gonna be junk.

Really? The Nexus 4 was my favorite device to date. I pushed mine to its limits, it was great. Even took a trip through the washing machine and still kept ticking.

Wow. A quick dip in the toilet killed my 3a (but there might have been poop involved).

I don’t agree. Many of the cheaper phones are pretty shit and barebones. I’ve had Samsung flagship phones for years, and they have never disappointed me. Friends and family have had the cheaper Samsung phones, and they have been pretty hit and miss. You just kinda get what you pay for. Wanna pay €200 for a phone? You get something that can barely turn on, that’s it.

I think you replied to the wrong comment

I didn’t? My point was that you get what you pay for, Google or not.

I had a Nexus 5 (also LG) and it was the best I’d had for years. Ran lineageOS on it (maybe it was CyanogenMod still I can’t remember) but that thing was the shit.
I left it on top of my car once and ended up destroying it. Swapped the modem into an EU model (the modem and GPS module survived, all other components failed) and had basically a brand new phone afterwards.
