The front is dominated by a single piece of glass while the back, also glass, has a subtle sparkly effect. In between is curved matte plastic. Turn it on, though, and its screen jumps out at you. Measuring a spacious 4. Images and videos look great on screen and fine text is kept sharp thanks to the high resolution. Inside the phone is a 1. Those specs are more impressive than even the Samsung Galaxy S3 and are typically reserved for top of the range mobiles.
Unsurprisingly, I found it gave an excellent performance on benchmark tests and there was no task I could find that slowed it down.
It's running on the latest version of Google's operating system, Android 4. The interface is basically the same as earlier versions of Jelly Bean, but it brings new features including settings shortcuts in the notifications bar, turn by turn GPS navigation, and various other tweaks. The most important change is to the camera software. Photo Sphere allows you to take full degree images to either swipe around on your phone, Street View-style, or view as one wide panorama on your computer.
Built-in editing software lets you turn this into a cool 'tiny planet' picture, as well as add numerous filters and effects tweaks to any of your pictures. No, it doesn't have 4G , but I can't say that's a particularly painful omission. You can only get 4G on one network, it's only available in a handful of cities and it's outrageously expensive -- and that situation is unlikely to improve until at least next summer.
The Nexus 4 isn't just amazing for its price, it's just plain amazing. It outstrips the Galaxy S3 in power and screen resolution, and is less than half the price.
Add on to that the great updates to Android Jelly Bean and the amazing photo features on board, the Nexus 4 isn't just the best Android phone on a budget, it's probably the best Android phone full stop. Should you buy it? You can't afford not to.
The front of the Nexus 4 is made up of a single piece of glass stretching right up to the edges. It's not interrupted by physical buttons or fancy company logos -- it's an unusually minimal design. Whether you like that sort of simplistic style is a matter of taste, but I found the way the glass curves at the edges to meet the chrome effect surround particularly attractive.
If you want a bit more going on in your design, flip it over. The back panel has been given a shimmering effect. In the right light, it appears as though it's made of tiny sequins. It's very subtle, but it's not at all unpleasant.
I think LG could have taken a risk and made it even shinier -- it's definitely more interesting to look at than the standard black matte plastic found on most phones. It measures mm long and 69mm wide -- a very similar size to the Galaxy S3. It's chunky, but far from cumbersome. It might look smart from a distance, but get it in your hand and it suffers in comparison to more expensive phones. The casing feels a little on the plasticky side and it doesn't have the same solid feel as its plutocratic rivals.
The casing doesn't offer much in the way of flex when you squeeze it, however, and the buttons offer a satisfying click, without any of the unpleasant rattling that smacks of cheap construction. The glass front is made from Corning Gorilla Glass 2, which is toughened to be more resistant to scratches and breakages. It doesn't feel at all poorly put together though. Feeling a little cheap may even remind you of how little you paid for it. Let's face it -- most of us would happily sacrifice a cutting-edge design to save a few hundred quid.
Around the edges you'll find a power button, volume rocker, 3. There's sadly no microSD card slot so there's no way to expand the internal memory.
That's a problem if you're hoping for the cheapest model, as it only offers 8GB of storage. You'll have to be very careful about what music and photos you keep on board, and big games like Nova 3 or Real Racing 2 are pretty much off the cards. If you're an app addict and prefer to store music files on your phone rather than stream them, you'd be better off going for the 16GB model.
The Nexus 4 comes with a 4. That makes it less portable than the iPhone, of course, but the added screen real estate makes web browsing, typing and playing big-screen games much easier. The display's resolution is a stonking x1, pixels. That's slightly higher than the S3's resolution and, due to its smaller size, results in the Nexus having a pixel density of pixels per inch over the S3's ppi. That means that the Nexus is packing in more pixels into the same space, resulting in a slightly sharper image.
It's not a huge difference, of course, so I doubt you'd be able to tell much difference between the two. Considering the Nexus is so cheap, I'd be happy to forgive it for having a lower-resolution display. The fact that it's packed in so many many pixels and sliced the price in half is just astounding. Those thousands of pixels make it extremely sharp. Text is beautifully clear, so reading for longer periods in a web browser or in the Kindle app is perfectly pleasant.
Glass outer body makes it susceptible for fatal accidents. No expandable memory card. This is a review after 4 months usage. Vishnu Prakash Certified Buyer , Bangalore.

I didn't get this phone from flipkart as it was unavailable at that time actually it was available anywhere but USA , though was ready to shell a price much higher than its MRP.
But after having used it for almost 8 months and going following are some observations : Pros :: 1. Excellent Display 2. Excellent Build Quality 3. Excellent UI Seriously those mod themes are killing the experience, vanilla is the way to go 4. Super fast and fluid response 5. Simply a beauty No cheap looking stuf First of all a word of praise for Flipkart I got this product within hrs of ordering. And that too cheaper than market price.
Now come to the phone. A lot has already been said about this phone. I'll just say that i got more than what i expected. This in real looks far better and its body and design in best compared to any other phone in the market. I won't talk about its features.
That we all know is just awsum as it comes directly from the Goog Prabhat Singh Certified Buyer , Chennai. Firstly I would like to say the flipkart service has gone from good to moderate, now for the phone, is an average phone with pure android os4. The camera is good, but not as great as the HTC one's or s4 The phone packs in a good amount of ram which helps multi tasking and at this price, no one would want more.
