Long term value should be good, this phone will make the 5.0 cut. Other than Exynos 5, there is no SoC om the horizon that will beat it and S4Pro is about to be solidified as platform of choice since it's driving the next Nexus. 1080p isn't a must have but the display is very nice. Kinda tempted because Exynos 5 faces a uphill battle even if it delivers what it promises. Looks like I'm not the only one around here that's not excited about the LG Nexus, it's thread isn't even on the first page. Barely considering at the moment, battery life and performance are pending but would jump on in a heartbeat for a Nexus version.
