Nexus 4 Retail Price in Malaysia Revealed, DiGi Offered Subsidized Plan

To recap why everyone loves Nexus 4, it boasted a Quad-core Krait 1.5GHz CPU, has 2 GB of RAM, and has an awesome 4.7 inches WXGA True HD IPS Plus display. You will also always get the latest Android updates from Google before anyone else.

However, one of the main reasons why Nexus 4 ran out of stock in many countries is because it is awesomely cheap for its top end specs.

Not in Malaysia however.

In Malaysia, Nexus 4 will retail for RM1,649.00, if the indication on DiGi website is any indication.

While it is still cheaper than competitors like Galaxy S3, Note II and iPhone 5, it is no where as cheap as you can get in US (around USD 349), Europe (EURO 349) or Australia (AUSD 349) for 16GB version.

If we were to compare only the Malaysian price however, this phone becomes very very attractive indeed compared to its competitor.

Anyway, if you still wish to purchase Nexus 4 in Malaysia, DiGi provides a little bit of subsidy and selling them for RM1499 with a RM63.00 monthly 2 years contract (8GB data per month). Unfortunately, only one plan is available. You may pre-order Nexus 4 from DiGi here.

Maybe a better bet would be to get your friend to purchase one in those countries that use the same GSM radio frequency with Malaysia and save on a few more hundred bucks. You should check if they are compatible here though before embarking on this route. 

Very badly played, LG. Very badly played.
