Calling the excrement of cattle a wonderful tool for increasing crop yields isn't lying, its marketing :-)

I expect LG picked its words very very carefully to be strictly true.

So I don't for a moment doubt that, everything else being equal, it takes 6 weeks to change the factory mix. I haven't seen a statement from them that they changed the mix on Nexus 4's, just that in general such a change, if they ordered it, would take six weeks. Its equivocating to be sure but strictly true.

I know three people who got Nexus 4s here in the US and two of them had them replaced due to screen failures (on one half the screen went dark, on the other excessive bad pixels). But I don't think LG has been very up front about quality issues, but generally I don't think anyone is unless it blows up like Antenna-gate or something.

One thing I do know, all three of my friends think it is the best android phone ever and one of them is a convert from an iPhone 4S. It wouldn't be the first time some company released a highly acclaimed but unmanufacturable product.
