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

Battery life is disappointing
Lack of storage

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

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.
The Nexus 4 is an excellent smartphone that delivers top performance and features a stylish design for a sweet price.Getting the unlocked version at $299 is certainly the best value proposition of the new Google phone, especially if you take into account...
