The Nexus 4's design includes a dotted glass pattern, producing a chatoyance effect. Initially available only in black, a white version of the device was first offered in May 2013 in Hong Kong, with worldwide availability to follow. However, an online request for the Nexus 4 launch by KT Telecom President Pyo Hyun-myung led to LG's announcement that they were in talks with Google about the issue as of November 22, 2012. The phone was initially unavailable in South Korea due to carrier opposition, purportedly over the lack of LTE support. Europe, Central and South America, Asia, the Commonwealth of Independent States, and the Middle East were to receive Nexus 4 by the end of November 2012 at retail. On Thanksgiving morning, Google referred users to T-Mobile's online store on the Nexus 4's product page within hours, T-Mobile's online stock sold out.
Starting the following day, November 14, 2012, T-Mobile US stores would sell the 16 GB model. The Nexus 4 was also made available via phone operators and retailers. The phone became available on Play Store again on January 29, 2013, and since then has had no major supply issues. Stock sold out quickly, in some markets within minutes of release. The phone was made available for purchase on Google Play Store in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, France, Spain, and Australia. However, the event was cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy, and the Nexus 4 (along with Android 4.2, the Nexus 10 tablet, and the Nexus 7 with cellular network support) was unveiled by Google via a press release on October 29, 2012, for a release on November 13, 2012. Google was expected to launch the Nexus 4 at a press event in New York City. However, the device was criticized for its lack of LTE support, and its lack of a user-removable battery which its predecessor, the Galaxy Nexus, included. It was also the first Google Nexus device to be released at a relatively lower outright price in comparison to other high-end/flagship smartphones, leading to unexpected high demand and supply shortages. The Nexus 4 was met with generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the quality and performance of the Nexus 4's hardware.
As with other Nexus devices, the Nexus 4 was sold unlocked through Google Play, but was also retailed by wireless carriers.īased upon the hardware of the LG Optimus G, the Nexus 4 was distinguished from its predecessor by a quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, an 8 megapixel rear camera and 1.3 megapixel front camera which use the Sony BSI sensor, Qi wireless charging, and the introduction of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, an update to the operating system which introduced 360-degree spherical photo stitching called "Photo Sphere", a quick settings menu, widgets on the lock screen, gesture typing, and an updated version of Google Now. It is the fourth smartphone in the Google Nexus product family, unveiled on October 29, 2012, and released on November 13, 2012, and succeeded the Samsung-manufactured Galaxy Nexus. The Nexus 4 (codenamed Mako ) is an Android smartphone co-developed by Google and LG Electronics.
