Collaborating with graphic intensive applications, this phone also uses a 400 megahertz Adreno 320 GPU. This cellphone has a 16 GB quite large internal memory and whereas it doesn't count with an external memory card slot, it is enough to store a couple hundred apps, although it might not be enough if you are planning to install a couple of the largest games available nowadays.

About its construction, this device is majorly built with Glass. Google has made a really good optimization job making this cellphone as lightweight as 4.9 oz. Being just 0.36 inches thick,this phone is slim and comfortable. The Google Nexus 4 is a compact device, taking into consideration it has a 4.7 inches screen and it only has 5.27" long and 2.7" wide. This cellphone is for sale in 2 different color options, black and white.
