''our anecdotal tests -- in which we do a moderate amount of email, social media, messaging, web surfing and take a few pictures and make some phone calls -- almost got us a full day of use, but your overall result will definitely depend on how bright you set that display. ''
This is a smartphone that we'd normally expect to be much more expensive unlocked, but Google set a precedent by lowering the cost of the Galaxy Nexus, keeping the Nexus 7 at $200 and is now continuing the trend with the Nexus 4.
The price of freedom has never been more reasonable.
''The idea that a Nexus quad-core smartphone is hitting the market with a starting price one dollar shy of
$300 is simply stunning. Even more so is that it's available without any contract or carrier locks, which means you can use it
virtually anywhere in the world. ''
''Adding yet another layer of amazement is the fact that this particular device will always be among the first (if not the first) to get the latest version of Android for the foreseeable future. What once was a smartphone series designed for developers has been decked out with top-notch features and priced so attractively that consumers will take notice of it;
there's nothing comparable that comes close to it in that price range.''
''It'll be on sale in the UK, US, Canada, Germany, France, Spain and Australia to start off with, but because it's penta-band, you'll easily be able to stick in a
micro-SIM card from virtually any GSM carrier in the world and roam at your leisure.''
''Sure, the Nexus 4 is not without its hiccups, but none of its predecessors have been perfect, either. And given the boost in real-world performance, the better camera and various other new features, it's even more tempting than all those previous devices whose shoes it's trying to fill. In a case like this...
you have our permission not to resist.''
