The Google Nexus 4 designed by LG (you can call it LG Nexus 4 as well) is popularly being searched over the web, running on the latest Android Jelly Bean OS 4.2. The handset is light compared to the Galaxy Nexus, and has many other features which makes it a highly functional phone at an affordable price.
The Google Nexus 4 is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor running at a speed of 1.5GHz with an Adreno 320 GPU to shove the 1280×768 pixels along.
Apart from the high resolution the phone has a ppi of 320, the resolutin os good enough to compete with iPhone 5. Talking about the camera in the Google Nexus 4. The Google Nexus 4 has two cameras, the front one for video calling which has 1.3 MP of resolution. While the rear camera which comes with a LED Flash has 8 Mega Pixels. This allows you to take great pictures even under low light.
The phone comes with a wireless charging point, called the Orb, but you need to buy a seperate charging pad to make full use of the wireless charging capability.
The Google Nexus has been launched in two versions the 8GB and 16GB there is no option for extra SD card expansion. But hopeful this much capacity would be enough for most of the users, specially when you see the price.
The Google Nexus 4 is coming in at a price of £239 (US$299/AUD$349)) for the 8GB version and £279 (US$349/AUD$399) for the 16GB option – which is over £200 cheaper than the equivalent iPhone 5.
Stateside, the 16GB version will be available through T-Mobile for US$199 on a two-year contract starting November 14.
There’s no microSD expansion, but given the Google Nexus 4 release date is only on 13 November (through the Google Play Store), we’re sure that will help those wondering whether this should be on their Christmas list.
Hopefully the Android apps and other features, of Google and LG combined will keep the phone in range of several users during this holiday season.
