What can i say for this device?i am speechless...First of all...the all aluminum unibody construction and the whole design of the phone is amazing...i am in love with this device..i am staring at it even when the screen is off....As for performance...it's excellent,snapdragon 600 now his duties and the phone is completely lag free...the 1080p of the phone along with the front stereo speakers is from another world!Finally Sense 5 is excellent..BRAVO HTC!
The Google (LG) Nexus 4 is an amazing phone that offers the absolute best software Google has to offer, and that is saying a lot, given the software giant's history.For the purposes of this review, I shall do all my ratings in comparison to the current Android King, the HTC One.
Its display is absolutely top notch It is bright, easily readable even in direct sunlight, and looks very crisp. With a custom kernel, you can even make the colours, which were its only down side, pop right at you. However, vs competing 2013 smartphones, the lack of full 1080p may be somewhat noticeable. That and the fact that a custom kernel is in fact needed to fix the washed out stock colours forces me to deduct a point from an otherwise perfect display.
Reception and call quality is great, as you'd expect from any smartphone in this day and age. In reality, the quality of the service you get is very dependent on your Network provider. The lack of (official) LTE is a down side however, and costs the device a point. On a network like Wind Mobile (Canada) where LTE isn't available anyway, this can be ignored.
Battery life is disappointing. On stock, I was unable to make it past a full day, albeit this is also partially due to me spending a vast amount of time in an area were my reception is cut off, forcing the phone to always be searching for a signal (to clarify, this is the WIND networks fault, not the phones) If you are willing to root and install a custom rom/kernel however (this is a nexus device, be adventurous), the issue is mostly alleviated. On stock, it is not what you'd expect from a high end phone.
Design is a double edged sword. While the device is absolutely gorgeous and feels premium in the hand, the glass back will also have you living in a state of constant fear, where you will be praying to whatever gods you believe in from the most pathetic of drops. Get a case and the problem is gone (but so is the premium feel... sad times)
The real key aspect of the device comes with its status as a nexus device. This phone will age slower than any other phone that will come out this year (short of the Nexus 5). You are guaranteed a phone that will stay fresh and current through its entire life time, and to top it off all of that for a ridiculously low price. When compared to other devices in its price range, the Nexus 4 absolutely decimates them. And thanks to Google being in control, chances are that 3 years down the road, the device will feel a better purchase then even the hardware-superior HTC One. Hence why I believe this device to be the best android device currently available for the money.
I love the Slim Design, the Digital Connector is a Bit of a Pain for Most, but..not OVERALL...Bad. The Display is A++ Beautiful. Worthy Smartphone.
Awesome phone ever in the history with a great camera
Best screen, best speakers, best build quality, two very good cameras, front facing one particularly awesome! Batter actually averages up to 14 hours low to average use and 8-10 hours heavy use. Phone is so quick and responsive, no lag!
Main camera does lag and get confused sometimes in night mode and low light conditions. Beats sometimes is loud and sometimes not loud enough, kinda of weird. But the little imperfections do not take away from the BEASTLINESS of the phone!
Display is gorgeous, quite simple with Sense 5 and stunning clarity. I have the Sprint version and its quite fine. Haven't had a dropped call at all. Surprisingly the battery life has been quite impressive! I've had well over 15 hrs battery life with moderate use. The premium build is the best hands down. Only thing is that when being used heavily, the temperature can get rather warm to the touch. Sense 5 does a swell job with well,everything! The camera is quite nice as well as the TV app. Seeing a new way to display tv shows is a satisfying experience. Gracenote integration is awesome as I have quite a bit of music on the 32GB version. HTC FTW!
i like every function. i like it so much.
the display can't be matched and it is great for games and videos. It is also very fast and have not experienced any lag. My only problem so far is the glass on the screen seems to be soft and scratches easily so I recommend a screen protector right away.
