LG Nexus 4 pricing may not be so attractive for many

Blair McClelland November 5, 2012 Android, Mobile, Smartphone

When the LG Nexus 4 was first unveiled last week with the impressively low asking price of $299 in the United States, €299 in Europe and £239 in the United Kingdom from the Google Play Store, it appeared that Google had done everything right. However, pricing outside of these areas is very much up in the air.

Retailers in Italy, Austria and Denmark have been reporting that LG's RRP outside of the Play Store's shipping reach could be in the realm of €549 to €599. Sadly this is completely out of control of Google and it does appear as if LG is relying on international sales to create a profit margin on the device.

Fortunately, pricing will be more competitive once local importers get access to Play Store stock for those in countries outside of the Google Play Store's reach.

KitGuru says: Hopefully LG clarifies international pricing for the Nexus 4 in the coming weeks. Thousands of people would buy one for €299 but not at €549.

KitGuru Games: The Best Console is the One in Your Pocket

Emulation is the saving grace of the video games industry. Despite its controversial nature, the technology will be the only way in which all games are preserved for the future – free from licensing agreements and other such nonsense. Better still is the fact that in a majority of cases, emulation allows for a more accurate recreation of the game’s original experience than official offerings, due to countless complex shaders, filters and tweakable settings. And the best part? Thanks to the progression of technology, your humble smartphone is able to do all this and more – giving you the power of 10,000 games in the palm of your hand.
