Google Nexus 4 Review by Daniel Berg (Nov 2012)

Quote:
Pros: Sharp 4.7-inch HD screen; Sharp colorful screen with good viewing angles; Improved Google Now assistant; Speedy and smooth performance

Cons: Competitors have more innovative features; Dull camera images ; No LTE support; Mediocre audio quality

The Verdict: The Google Nexus 4's swift performance, bright and crisp display and Android 4.2 software make it a good choice for Android purists, but the lack of 4G LTE is a letdown.

Verdict

For those wanting a pure Android experience, as Google intended, the Nexus 4 is a strong choice. The 1.5-GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB of RAM make applications run quickly on an already buttery smooth OS. The Google Now and camera app enhancements are also welcome, even if the camera itself doesn't wow. We also look forward to using the new lock screen widgets. Ultimately, though, the Nexus 4 doesn't feel as cutting edge or as innovative as the Samsung Galaxy S III.

While T-Mobile customers may be satisfied with HSPA+ speeds, those interested in purchasing the unlocked version of this device will need to weigh having the latest and greatest software versus not being able to take advantage of 4G LTE speeds. iPhone owners don't need to make that trade-off. Still, for $199, the Nexus 4 delivers an always-up-to-date Android experience running on solid hardware.
