Rumour: Nexus 4 on sale in Australia at 8AM AEDT?

If you’ve been hanging out for the Australian Play Store to receive stock of LG’s Nexus 4, you might not have to wait much longer.

Android Police yesterday reported a tip stating that the Nexus 4 would become available in the US Play Store today, which proved to be correct. According to the same tipster, the device will be available as of 8AM AEDT tomorrow morning in the Australian Play Store. With a hit ratio of 1-for-1, we think it’s a good sign that the phone will be on sale tomorrow.

Because the Nexus 4 is such a highly sought-after phone, it might be a good idea to set an alarm to remind yourself to check the site. The times that you will need are:

8AM AEDT for NSW, VIC, TAS and the ACT
7:30AM ACDT for SA
7AM AEST for QLD
6:30AM ACST for NT
5AM AWST for WA

That’s quite an ask for our Perth-based readers. So far the phone seems to have remained on sale in the US Play Store though, so maybe this time it’s here to stay.

Will you buy a Nexus 4 tomorrow? How early will you get up for it? Tell us in the comments!

Edit: There’s some confusion over whether Android Police got the AU timezone wrong, as they listed “EST”. These times could be 1 hour early – but it’s best to be 1 hour early than 1 hour late. – Jason

If I have to be up at 5am, so be it! I’m not missing out again! That being said, is there any news on the Nexus 10? Will it be back at the same time?

Pffft…. 1.5 months too late LG. I’m enjoying my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 now.

  My thoughts exactly. I think if I had to choose again now, I’d still go with the Note 2, or wait for the next generation of phones that have been announced this year.
- Too late
  
  Same here. Happy with my Note 2. Even if I hadn’t bought it, I would be holding out for the S4 or M7.

damn, I will be on my way to work at 8AM
- Indra
  
  You can buy it on your mobile…that’s how I bought mine in November!!!

    How did you manage that? I can’t see Devices in the Play store on my phone.
  - Benjamin Dobell
    
    Use the website, not the Play Store app.

I just secured myself one from Harvey Norman for Friday morning pickup. A little more expensive but not to much after cost of delivery. And the fact that I am not missing out again.

Too late LG and Google; you had a great thing going with the pricepoint but you had the stuff up hard on the supply. I’m holding out for the HTC M7 while heaps others either got a Galaxy S III 4G or a Note 2 over the holidays.
derp

If you follow the AP link it says 9am AEDT

6am WST might be a bit more managable for me to do
Jingles

Awesome I have tomorrow off from work so I can stay up all night/get up super early! So getting a Nexus 4!

My Gnex has been playing up so I’ve been obsessively checking the Playstore to order a N4, if they’d taken any longer I was thinking of going BB10 so they may just get in in time.

2 months late guys. With the device cycle being what it is, it’s old news now CES has come and gone.

I got an advanced look at the handset at Harvey Norman yesterday and whilst it is a very very nice feeling piece of hardware I couldn’t shake the feeling it was too similar to my current Gnex

It didn’t feel like an upgrade (despite the better performance)

Perhaps a Sony Z if only it had Qi

I used EST/Brisbane time before as I was confused about Australian time zones. I’ve since updated it to use Sydney time (9am AEDT as far as I can tell).

Make sure everyone updates their Google Wallet details first to make checkout easier
DD

Pete83

I can’t wait 2 or 3 weeks for delivery, so im getting mine @ harvey Norman tomorrow.
Steve

bit rude, I have the play store with the nexus 4 as my home page in Google Chrom, I manually had to refresh before seeing it was for sale – if I hadn’t it just preloaded that it was “out of stock” same as the last 3 months
Me me me

Back in stock on play store NOW! 05-02-2013
