The editors didn't like
No 4G LTE data
No microSD card slot for expandable memory
Again
Software wasn't final. That said
Battery life has not been what we'd hoped it would be. It appears that using the camera (especially to make Photo Sphere) really sucks that juice. When I was camera testing the phone had dropped off from 100 percen
Lacks LTE
Screen a bit washed out
Glass backing breaks easily
Nexus design is a bit unimaginative
Lacks the more advanced power management of the Optimus G
Speaker is muffled if the phone is laid down on its back side
No LTE
Ugly
No SD card slot makes this phone an automatic no-buy for many
The Nexus 4's construction is solid but uninspiring
Its call volume is too low
And it lacks 4G LTE
Short battery life
Competitors have more innovative features
Dull camera images
No LTE support
Mediocre audio quality
Glass back makes us a little nervous. No microSD card slot and no LTE
What's
Subpar battery life
Subpar camera quality
Subpar speaker quality
Subpar performance – not ideal for running the newest Android games and visual apps
Not ideal for typing
Slow HSPA+ 21 data speeds on AT&T. Mediocre camera and camcorder. Ineffective voice dialing. Gets warm
No expandable storage
Poor battery life
Glass back is worrisome
Slight hollow feel
Speaker easily muffled
Glass front and back can crack
Insufficient screen contrast
Poor backfacing camera
Not enough data storage
No Official 4G LTE Out of The Box
Lots of Glass All Around
Average Battery Life
Really hard to find cons here. We can say lack of microSD slot
But that's just nit picking
Screen touch responsiveness is sub-par
Build quality is worse than other Nexus phones
Default chrome web browser under-performs
Super-slippery on front and back
Camera performance is below-average

Older mobile networks. No micro SD card slot or expandable storage of any sort. The rear speaker isn't very loud and doesn't sound very good
Should you buy a Nexus 4, assuming you actually can? Today, little else comes close to the Nexus 4's quality:price ratio, but the limited storage options, poor battery life, potential fragility and the fact you can't actually buy the thing direct from Go...

Abstract: Google€s new Nexus may not turn heads, but it€s the best value Android phone we€ve ever tested…The Google Nexus 4 has an awful lot to live up to – and, put simply, it doesn€t quite meet those hyper-expectations.Three times now, Google has teamed up with a...
The Nexus 4 packs in a terrific amount of features, including the very latest 4.2 Jelly Bean version of Android, as well as a high quality eight-megapixel camera and powerful processor, all for a knockdown price. Along with the quality casing it's prob...
It’s a close-run thing between the Nexus 4 and the Samsung Galaxy S III, with the camera the only real area where the Samsung pulls ahead. When it comes to performance, build quality and screen, both phones are superb.Which you choose depends, then, on...

Abstract: Ahh, the Nexus 4, the latest and greatest phone you can’t get hold of. If you are lucky enough to get one, you will soon realise you need protection for it. I prefer bumper cases to full cases, as they don’t add too much bulk to the original phone size...
Really sharp HD screen; Quad core chip; elegant design; Photo Sphere is great.
Meagre storage space; No support for 4G LTE.
The LG Nexus 4 with its large 4.7in screen is ideal for film fans and anyone who wants to surf the web on their smartphone, while the quad-core chip copes with the latest games easily. The only letdown is the meagre, unexpandable onboard storage...
If you thought today’s phone were fast, you’ve not seen anything yet. The S4 quad-core processor powering the Google Nexus 4’s super crisp 720p display absolutely blazes: lag is a thing of the past.And while the world’s still just getting to grips with the awesome potential of Android 4.1, but the Google Nexus 4 comes with version 4.2 pre-installed. It’s still the Jelly Bean we love, with smart n
Everything the Google Nexus 4 has going for it is on the screen or inside: the actual design of the phone is about as bland as it gets these days. At 9.1mm, it’s pretty chunky: it feels much more unwieldy than the HTC One X or Samsung Galaxy S3.The black plastic design is uninspiring, and we have no idea what LG was thinking when it put sequins on the back panel. It looks like you dropped your ph
Sure, it doesn’t have 4G, and it’s about as sexy as a doorstop, but there’s so much raw power under the hood of the Google Nexus 4, and its Android 4.2 software is sublime. For the money - on the Google Play store, at least - it’s the sale of the centu...
