Google Nexus 4 is an impressive cellphone launched some years ago, in 2012, including a very powerful 1.5 gigahertz Quad-Core CPU, a medium sized 4.7" touch-screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front camera.
Google has made an excellent design job making this phone weight only 4.9 oz. This phone is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it features a 4.7" display and it has just 5.27" long and 2.7" wide. This phone is just 0.36" thick, making it one of the thinnest phones on sale. About its construction, this cellphone is created with Glass. Google is offering the Google Nexus 4 in black and white.
Google decided to build this cellphone with a very fast 1500 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 system chip and a great 2 GB RAM. Graphic calculations often uses a lot of processing time, so this cellphone has an additional 400 MHz Adreno 320 GPU to unload the CPU. A good feature of this cellphone is the 8 GB quite large internal storage and even though it doesn't have an SD extension slot, it should be enough to install a couple hundred games and applications, but it probably wouldn't be suitable if you are fan of the heaviest games available nowadays.
The Google Nexus 4 has two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It can also capture videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. The camera also includes a lot of cool characteristics like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, face detection shooting, HDR mode, smile detection shooting and geo tagging.
Google equipped the Google Nexus 4 with a beautiful 4.7" display, and a 1280 x 768 resolution, providing this phone with a perfect graphic quality. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
This phone provides wifi connection (which can be shared with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), 4G HSPA+ connection type, that is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast internet connection, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.
This phone also includes many interesting features as Wireless charging compatibility, NFC, Bluetooth (allows communication with other bluetooth phones, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
This cellphone comes with a 2100 mAh incredible Li-Polymer non-removable battery, which isn't very promising for a cellphone like this. This device has an estimated 15.3 hours talk time and a 390 hours stand by time. An issue to consider is that this device's battery isn't removable so you won't be able to replace it when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with such a huge battery size you will probably replace this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.
Google is offering this phone for $ 140, which is quite a high price for this kind of phone. No matter if you want this device to play lots of games, love photography, will use this phone for work or are looking for a phone to majorly use social networks, you will probably love this cellphone. This device is sold with Quick start guide, SIM ejection tool, Safety and Warranty information, AC Adapter and cable and USB sync/charge cable.
