Hi,

With a budget of 400 and virtually no minimum requirements or constraints, are there any good deals out there?

At the moment I'm thinking of the Galaxy nexus 16gb or the nexus 4 16gb. There isn't really much other options I've come across.

Thank you in advance! :)

I'd go the nexus 4 but it's sold out till next year. Depends how long you want to wait :)

Nexus 4 without a doubt. Could try buying from the UK and use a mail forwarder. No word when there will be more stock for Australia.

  Check the discussion about nexus 4 battery life. Some reviews say its pretty bad and some say it's great.

    Also I heard that when you play games, glass/lcd screen gets hot very quick.
    
    but I still want to buy it for my mom anyway.

      I have it. I don't really play gpu intensive but did find it to get a little warm after an hour or so. Battery life is pretty good, definitely better than my S2 that I use to have. I don't have any of the bugs/defects others have been experiencing. I'm 100% happy with it and would buy it again instantly(if I could) if I happen to break mine.

I bought a 2nd hand s3 for a lil less than that, so if u don't want brand new u can get some gold.

Nexus 4 or Xperia V
