Is it worth buying a Nexus 4 for 40 Euros and flash LineageOS 14.1 on it just for fun, I got a Moto X Style and Nexus 5 now but I just want a small device to play with
Nexus 4
Nah man, get old z1c. Newer, more powerful, fucking sony. 4 7' and a little heavy
Any ROMs?
Well 40 euros is not that much money for a phone so I can't really say
But this is a device notorious for it's poor battery life. Also, you can't remove the battery, and no SD slot is also a downer. The camera also wasn't that good IIRC (don't quote me on this).
I can get a Z3C and Z1C together for 80 euros, Z1C can't read sim anymore, and a bit of the Z3C (1mm) is sometimes unresponsive. Cop?
oh sorry m8 I didn't pay much attention to phones after Nexus 4 so can't really say. getting cheap Z3C sounds good though, but, why you need 2 phones.
in any case everything depends on your use… if you literally take N4 just to play with, and not rely on it for use, then it's ok. tons of roms for it because nexus (it's still old though). I remember now also, it had LTE disabled by default which you can enable.
Read more on LTE though, I remember there were caveats with it… read up on it if it's important for you
I got Moto X Force for daily, Nexus 5 for backup
Need one for use with spambot (root) and a phone that records 60 fps for youtube, Z3C fits all this but i think Z1C and Z3C together for 80 sounds great
Well yeah it sounds almost too good desu
Here where I live used Z3C alone sells for 100 euros
Anyway I don't know much about Z3C but I know MKBHD recommended it and Sony has good rep so I'm quite optimistic about it.
The Nexus 4 is still a very powerfull phone with LineageOS but i can't understand how it can be funny to play with, get a rasberrypi instead.
t. Nexus 4 user
still using one. changed the battery 2 weeks ago. flashed pure nexus 7.1.2.
shit is so cash.

Whatcha gonna do about it, bitch?
Getting Xperia Z1 Compact for 30 euros
Why can't we get a Nexus 4 with modern internals?
Pixel 1?
No. Phones age like shit.
Isn't the lag quite noticeable now? Did you have to limit the number of installed apps to avoid it?
kill yourself, no joke
I don't experience lag. I only use apps I need. I don't limit anything. ram usage is around 1.5 gig. everything is fine.
>sony
>roms
no
Nexus 4 still holds up for me since I got it in 2013. Battery needs to be replaced, but everything else works fine.
This. Pixel2 looks gay and has >no headphones.
Might have to convert to /chink/ soon.
Z1 compact is 4.3", not 4.7"
I was thinking of getting Galaxy S2 or HTC HD2 for custom software. I got over it though.
