this is what happens when people dont use the phone themselves before they judge
There were other nexus devices before that device you held that you aptly named "the first nexus device"
@Jeremy I have an S3 with CM 10.1 and touch buttons. But still I want a Nexus! It's because with stock pure Google you won't have to worry about battery, bricking the phone. And Nexii are the fastest ( you can't compare N4 to S4 as S4 was made much later). When N4 released it was the king of benchmarks. It beat the iPhone as well as the S3.
@Alan you don't wanna be in a situation when you buy your phone and a newer version comes out. I bought an S3 a month before S4 came out :/
Is it advisable to buy the Nexus 4 now or should I wait till about september to see if a new nexus phone is released. My current phone broke… Im going on holiday so a phone isn't necessary but I wouldn't mind waiting if a new new one will be released soon. Thanks for your advice.
Kind of, you can root it and install Cyanogenmod 10.1 (or any other 4.2 rom) onto the s4, closest thing. Though there is going to be a FULL Nexus experience S4, to be available in the Playstore soon if you're not too willing to risk tinkering
You make me sad.
….i'm wondering how stupid you are…Android Central is a journalist blog, they are NOT developers!
I've tried numerous times to sign up to Android Central but I keep getting an error message and there is no "contact us" link. If Android developers are this bad at useability then no one should buy Android.
Also said person lacks basic grasp of the English language.
Couldn't notice that has 69% battery. Ohh me..
does the nexus 4 have auto answer feature, it is for when i dont have access to my phone just a bluetooth headset
I don't like that the battery cannot be removed quickly I flash a lot of ROMs/Tweaks & sometimes the battery needs to be removed
Download 'Phone Info App' from Play. Under preferred network type, choose LTE, done.
Any way to enable the chip ?
Why the fuck does every review of this phone say they like the glittery back! What the fuck! It looks like an 80's disco… i still love the nexus 4 because well… its a nexus. But hopefully the next nexus wont have a glittery disco back! Please google
first of all,
– True Hd ips displau 720p
– 2gb of ram .. i dont see alot of phones with it
– non removable battery ? dude what are you going to do with the phone, watch movies on it all day long, its not a tablet which is there to entertain you, its for phoning and text messaging and abit of 3g while your out and about :S
– has a LTe chip inside it
who gives a shit about the headphone jack :S
– who cares about fm .. and sd card slot ?,seriously dude,cloud storage .. and 16 is enough.
–
is it worth buying even after being manufactured by LG??
He sounds like pwnstar4hire
I wonder if you can send the photospheres directly to Google in order to help them with their Google earth/maps? this would be perfect to map rural areas
Too much talk for a friggin phone
It makes me sad how many people actually think he posted that
Brilliant review, one that actually looks at the features on the phone, scrolling, touching etc. Keep it up!
did you over charge it
-dude it has a 4g lte chip inside it but not activated
-it has 2gb of ram your lucky to have that
-the iphone5 doesn't have a removable battery
-the battery is better then the galaxy nexus
-a lot of android phones have headphone jack on the top even the s3 has it
-the nexus 4 has a blueish screen
-there something called cloud storage
-lg is an awesome company and Google picked the right company this year to make the next nexus device
– yellowish white screen
– usb otg
– not enough ROM memory
– not removable battery
– poor battery
– overheat
– 4g
– headsphone jack on the top
– fm radio & sd card slot
it is very sad for me, I will never buy this phone, LG and Google are very disappointed me.
How long until Apple does photosphere?
I would rather save £120. I mean, the Nexus S got Jelly Bean so we are sorted for the future. Everything costs more in UK than US, so it is still a good deal for us. It is just the way our economy works. We pay more taxes but we get the NHS etc.
20 people own an Apple iPhone
whats wrong with the camera? 8 megapixel doesn't sound bad to me, unless your talking about the auto-focus issue which, from what iv'e heard, has been resolved.
I have the nexus 4 and the battery sucks. The stand by time is great but as soon as you do anything that involves having the screen on it drains the battery unlike anything I've used before. Other than that I love it!
My absoulte dream phone. I only miss the replaceable battery.
