Finally, the Nexus 4 will not be sold on The Phone House chain. And it is that the prices that LG wants to impose in physical stores doubles the price at which Google itself will offer it from its Google Play store. And it is that the intention of LG is to put a price in free format of 600 euros for the new smartphone from Mountain View "" although manufactured by the Korean company "", while the Internet giant will offer it for 300 euros.
The Phone House chain has sent a statement in which it informs that it suspends the sale of the new Google terminal: Nexus 4. According to the company, LG imposes an exorbitant price and it is impossible to guarantee the minimum price that it usually offers to its customers. And it is that for a few days it could be seen from the online sales page of the mobile phone chain that the Nexus 4 could be purchased from 600 euros.
On November 13, sales will begin. And Google, after the presentation of its new equipment, struck the table by proposing a much lower retail price than expected for a high-end terminal such as the new Nexus 4: 4.7-inch screen with resolution HD, quad-core processor, two GB of RAM, eight Mega-pixel camera and available in two versions: 8 and 16 GigaBytes of storage memory. And, of course, releasing the new version of the platform: Android 4.2 Jelly Bean.
On the other hand, along with their siblings in the tablet form: Nexus 7 and the new Nexus 10 "" the latter manufactured by Samsung "" are postulated as possible best sellers for the next Christmas season. And it is that none of the teams that make up the new offer of Mountain View exceed 400 euros, whatever the model to choose.
Meanwhile, LG has not commented on The Phone House's decision. What has become clear is that the telecommunications chain, with a presence in both Spain and Europe, permanently withdraws the terminal from its catalog that appeared as "next launch". For the rest, it is an atypical case since on other occasions ”” and continuing with the Nexus family ”” The Phone House has to its credit the seven-inch tablet known as Nexus 7, and its price does not vary with respect to that offered by Google from your virtual store: 200 euros for the 16 GB version and 250 euros for the new 32 GB version. Similarly, the chain must still update prices, since the eight-Gigabyte model disappears from Google's portfolio.
It should be remembered "" and to make matters worse "" that Google sells its terminals completely free and without any commitment to any national operator. That is to say, the increase of 300 extra euros that you want to impose from the different distributors, does not make any sense. Although one of the explanations would be that Google has ensured the full distribution of the new terminal through its own sales channel by offering part of the cost of the terminal to the South Korean company.
On the other hand, it continues to be a company that does not start in the smartphone sector where Samsung is still the undisputed leader and already has different brands such as three million sales of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in a month and 30 million units sold of its best seller Samsung Galaxy S3.
