I sold my Atrix 4G for $230 on swappa.com and bought me a new (in the box) LG Nitro HD for $275 from ebay.  The Nitro HD is a very powerful smartphone that is quite the jump from my old Atrix 4G. It has a dual core Qualcomm Scorpion processor clocked at 1.5ghz, 1gb of ram, an IPS display that has a resolution of 1280x720 (720p) and is a whopping 4.5" in size. The Nitro HD is an amazing device to say the least and I only paid an additional $40 to get it. Here are some of the specs:

• 8 megapixels LED Flash Camera @ 3264x2448 / Camcorder 1920x1080 (1080p HD) (29 fps)
  
• 1.3 megapixels Front Facing Camera @ 1280 x1024 pixels
  
• 1835 mAh Standard Battery
  
• Google Android 4.0.4 ICS
  
• ROM: Cyanogenmod 9 (HO!NO! CM9 "Full Throttle")

Here is a stock picture just to show you how big the phone actually is (my camera's batteries died)



I just finished rooting the device and installing a custom rom. I ended up having to run the SuperOneClick Root Tool like four times to get it to finally work (this is a known issue and I knew this beforehand) but now I am completely rooted running a Cyanogenmod 9 variant:

Wow, I like how you can see right through the screen to the circuit board.

Very cool! Has more features than your Nexus 7! But then it retails for more than the Nexus 7 too.

Not really:

Nitro: Dual core Scorpion @ 1.5ghz  with a single core Adreno 220
Nexus 7: Quad core Tegra 3  @ 1.3ghz with a 12 core Nvidia GPU

Nitro: 326ppi  
Nexus: 216ppi

Nexus 7  1280x800
Nitro 1280x720

Nexus 7 battery: 4325 mAh
Nitro battery: 1835 mAh

Nexus 7: 8gb storage (unlimited with usb drive and otg cable)
Nitro: 4gb storage with sdcard slot (32gb max)

Nexus 7:  1024mb ram
Nitro: 1024mb ram

Nexus 7: 802.11 b/g/n Wifi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, accelerometer, GPS, magnetometer, and a gyroscope.
Nitro: 802.11 b/g/n Wifi, Bluetooth 3.0, Accelerometer, GPS, Gyroscope and Proximity


So all in all the Nexus is much more powerful but the Nitro has a better screen and an sd card slot. Both are running Jelly Bean but the Nexus is an official JB device.

Well I was mainly meaning the ppi and missing SD card on the Nexus 7, but yeah, it does balance.

And the Nitro doesn't have the room for the extra battery that the Nexus 7 has but you know what I mean.

Regardless both great devices.
