The LG-made Google Nexus 4 might have broken cover in 2012, but it’s still very much making waves in 2013. Google have more than struggled at meeting demand, with the ‘SOLD OUT’ sign seemingly permanently glued to the Nexus 4 sales pages on the company’s own website.
Elsewhere the latest stock Google smartphone can be had, off-contract for a significantly larger price tag with the likes of Carphone Warehouse offering the pricier options for those who airing on desperation. The latest carrier to join the fray, might ease some of the monetary strain with some competitively priced tariffs alongside a free handset on some 24 month plans.
This newest Nexus smartphone still maintains its position as one of the only handsets to tote Android 4.2.1 Jelly Bean, alongside the Google-branded Nexus 10 tablet. In addition to its OS, the appeal of the handset beyond the fact it runs stock Android, is found in its incredibly powerful underlying hardware, headed up by a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset.
