We know that Hurricane Sandy devastated
the East Coast of the United States which caused Google to cancel their October
29 event, but that doesn’t stop its downpour of Nexus devices and new Android OS update. This time, they
made the heavily-leaked LG Nexus 4 official.
The LG-manufactured smartphone
succeeds the Galaxy Nexus in the Big G’s line of devices. With the stunning
4.7-inch True HD IPS display, LG Nexus 4 offers a retina-ish (forgive me for
using the name) and crispy visuals at 320ppi (1280 x 768 pixels). It boasts a
1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor and dubbed as the fastest in the
market…so far. Design-wise, LG Nexus 4 is similar to Optimus G and not far from its Nexus brothers. It
still has the curved-class display. Back side sports a glass surface.
Under the hood, it’ll juice up to
10 hours of talk time with the 2100mAh battery. RAM is also beefed-up with 2GB
capacity. Ofcourse, we have NFC, Bluetooth, WiFi and HSPA+ for your
connectivity options, no LTE here. It will also come with the latest flavor of
Android Jelly Bean 4.2 out-of-the-box.
We go to the optics, the Nexus 4
has a 8MP rear camera and a 1.3MP front camera. One great thing about the
camera is that it has superb low-light shooting capabilities. Moreover, the LG
Nexus 4 is the first ever device that offers 360-degree Panorama shots.
The LG Nexus 4 will come in
non-expandable 8GB and 16GB variants. The handset is also capable of wireless
charging technology. And as I’ve said before, it’ll be fused with Android 4.2
which promises bug fixes and enhancement from the old Android 4.1.x.
The LG Nexus 4 will be available
on November 13th with $299 and $349 price tag for 8GB and 16GB
variants respectively.
