had my nexus s 4g for about a year and a half now. I love that phone so much (and still do) that I won't hesitate to get the nexus 4 when i have to renew my phone contract.
I just bought it today and I am very happy with it! I upgraded to android 4.2.2 just an hour later. That is the coolest. Always the latest from google instantly.
I'm so excited, I suggest you get a custom kernel for a better battery life, my friend is really knowledgeable with the nexus 4, I can PM you what it is to increase the life when I find out what it is!
Totally agree! I used to use custom launchers up until ICS - but Jelly Bean is totally brilliant - I find it much easier to use "out of the box" than any Samsung or HTC launchers!
Ordered mine on Wednesday, It's in my Local depot now just gotta wait till Monday for delivery! Good job on Google 1-2 week delivery, more like 3 days haha
Totally love this phone! I can't wait for the dog fights and review. My mom recently bought the Note 2 so I'm eager to do my own comparison of running apps and browsing the web, stuff like that. I know feature for feature the Note 2 edges out my Nexus 4, but boy do I love those android updates and the true stock feel, plus the processing power is killer, look forward to more videos I'm definitely voting for this phone.
Hey Aaron, did you know you can switch from the the camera to the gallery like that on iPhone too? Just swipe from left to right while in the camera app and it will go into the camera roll!
my samsung galaxy s blaze needed a warranty replacement 4 times, finally told tmobile ive had enough and I want a new phone. I chose the nexus 4 and it is being sent to me as we speak completely free of charge! hell yeah!
Since you buy this unlocked it comes with similar functionality to an iPod Touch as far as what it's made to do. The iPod Touch and Nexus 4 both fit into that nano tablet category that I don't think there's an official name for. If you were to never put a SIM in the Nexus 4 it would be like the Android version of an iPod Touch.
+Arceus Ketchum How much did you get it for if you don't mind me asking? My Dad's company is taking back his nexus 4 and giving him a new phone, but he can buy the nexus 4 back for $60. I see him using it everyday, so the phone has no problems whatsoever. Good condition, no cracks. I'm not picky with phones so I don't need the latest one available
3 Questions 1. Does it come with a sim card. Or i have to use my AT&T one 2. Does the Network service work on AT&T 3. Will it use my data plan on AT&T?
thanks for your answer...but the devise will run here? theres no problem if i dont have the warranty ..but if it works here im happy! im afraid if i buy it and here it doesnt run!
Hoping to get it soon. It looks like an amazing phone. I just hope that when I'm able to get it, that my Google Play experience will be smoother than many others who's experiences have been quite problematic. Fingers crossed.
Correct. No SD card slot or removable battery, same with the new HTC One. However you are getting the vanilla Android experience on very nice hardware for a pretty fair price.
Question for Phone Doggers. : Is the Nexus 4 sold through T mobile the same Nexus 4 sold through Google? Will I be able to HSPA+ on AT&T as well as T mo? TIA.
I'm about to buy the 16GB version from Google and from the looks of things you have to buy the charger and USB separately. Is this true? thanks a lot :)
I want this phone but I am in the UK and can't get it yet. The stock interface doesn't seem as slick as e.g. Touchwiz on the S3 but then I guess it is cleaner and smoother and you can download active wallpapers, widgets etc anyway. I have a Desire HD at present and am looking to upgrade to something "off contract" so this would be perfect, albeit with limited memory. I just hope the build quality is up to scratch.
Just keep voicing your opinion and hopefully the next Nexus device will have larger storage capacity options. I'd love it if there was a 128gb version, although I'm sure that would ramp up the price a bit.
It does have LTE, sort of. It only works on Band 4 in some select cities in Canada. Now if T-Mobile starts their LTE network next year on Band 4 that will be a whole different story.
yes but it only works on LTE BAND 4 though thats why they say its not really LTE because it only works on one band which means only a few carriers like rogers in canada and a few others is all
Sounds like a great smartphone, great price, unlocked. One thing that's a bit scary is the fact that it's all glass (not unlike my iPhone 4) and the battery life isn't so hot. But this is full Google guys!
The new keyboard is the best android keyboard ever! I ditched smart keyboard pro for the stock 4.2 one because its sensitive and accurate unlike the 4.1, and the swipe is so useful
Hi Aaron, I watched a comparison video between the N4 and Galaxy Nexus... Sadly the N4 only behaved marginally better. However you can't beat the price of the nexus 4
Those phones are excellent phones. The Droid DNA is good if you want a big screen, but I would recommend the Galaxy Note II over the DNA. The Galaxy S III is a great phone if want a great camera. The HTC One X is great all around but excels at sound with its beats audio. Still, the Nexus 4 is better to me because you get the latest version of Android first. Also, the price is really good for an unlocked device. It looks and feels great. It has lots of developer support & I love custom roms.
For sure the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has a Quad Core 1.5GHz Processor compared to the grand duos 1.2GHz Dual core processor. The nexus 4 has 2GB of Ram where the Grand duos has 1GB of Ram. The Nexus 4 has 720p HD screen where the Duos has a 480p screen.
Ahhhhh about time u got it... Hate other reviews... Also is believe u didn't peel the plastic from the back of the phone lol perhaps it won't be a finger print magnet when you take it off... Sides also have plastic strips :D

So sleek. Should i buy this or an ipod touch???

Congrats bro enjoy.
Wonder if its ever going to hit India! Eagerly waiting for it over here.
is it worth going from a GS3 to a Nexus 4?
Mr. Aaron do you think i should buy the blackberry Z10 or the HTC one? im like 16 years old. What do you suggest?
That Knife was adorable xD
Galaxy Nexus 4.2 just arrived on mine. I'm so satisfied! I don't need a GN4

Finally been waiting for your unboxing.
Ordered an lg nexus 4(refurbished) too excited to wait so I decided to watch this video for the hype

3 Questions
1. Does it come with a sim card. Or i have to use my AT&T one
2. Does the Network service work on AT&T
3. Will it use my data plan on AT&T?
I finally ordered mine from the Google play store today!
I got a Nexus 5X now but my first "real" smartphone was the Nexus 4. loved that phone and the screen size was perfect!
the nexus comes unlocked. just pop your sim card out and put it in the nexus 4. only tmobile sells contract ones
I was surprised when I looked it up before checking for this video!! I'm def getting it!!
thanks for your answer...but the devise will run here? theres no problem if i dont have the warranty ..but if it works here im happy! im afraid if i buy it and here it doesnt run!

What do you think? I'm an big applefanboy but with ios 7 cumming up witch is shit i'm thinking of swaping to nexus. Sould I do it?
Correct. No SD card slot or removable battery, same with the new HTC One. However you are getting the vanilla Android experience on very nice hardware for a pretty fair price.
which one u are getting?
Did you get a confirmation email yet?
Need help should I get this phone or galaxy s3 note 2 or iPhone 5?? Need help on deciding
Does the nexus 4 come unlock from the google play store?
Not on sprint, you can put it on tmobile and at&t or simple mobile
Should i get this or Samsung Galaxy S4?
Question for Phone Doggers. : Is the Nexus 4 sold through T mobile the same Nexus 4 sold through Google? Will I be able to HSPA+ on AT&T as well as T mo? TIA.
I'll get it this month! So excited!!!
Im Getting This Phone This Month how is it?
I'm getting mine Monday can't wait
Getting it tonight. My first smartphone.
I'm about to buy the 16GB version from Google and from the looks of things you have to buy the charger and USB separately. Is this true? thanks a lot :)
Just ordered my 16g a few hours ago. Wish me luck on the shipping..
I want this phone but I am in the UK and can't get it yet. The stock interface doesn't seem as slick as e.g. Touchwiz on the S3 but then I guess it is cleaner and smoother and you can download active wallpapers, widgets etc anyway. I have a Desire HD at present and am looking to upgrade to something "off contract" so this would be perfect, albeit with limited memory. I just hope the build quality is up to scratch.
Just knowing about this phone now and its just the kinda phone I need. Awesome!
Love all your videos and you give highly details of the phone which i appreciate! Do you know when its the release date in Europe? Thanks !
s3 pros: removable battery, screen size, expandable storage, lte
nexus pros: better specs, all glass(no cheap plastic feel), PRICE, get updates first(s3 just got 4.1 2 weeks ago nexus 4 has 4.2)
you choose
Just keep voicing your opinion and hopefully the next Nexus device will have larger storage capacity options. I'd love it if there was a 128gb version, although I'm sure that would ramp up the price a bit.
Lmao when the black tape was revealed I remembered you trying to unbox the nexus 7 xD good video btw
It does have LTE, sort of. It only works on Band 4 in some select cities in Canada. Now if T-Mobile starts their LTE network next year on Band 4 that will be a whole different story.
If you buy this Unlocked. Paying the $299 for 8 gigs will I be able to put this on my sprnt carrier or no.
It does support AT&T LTE 1700 band. The radio is dormant inside the phone. I have used it on LTE with AT&T.
what is 4g lte ? what does it do? is it important?
Mine shipped this morning. I am dying of impatience.
yeah thats great, but do you have any experience with lg optimus or galaxy s3? I want one of this 3 phones, but i dont know which
Does it scratch fast? Please answer about to buy it.
What worries me the most is the glass back finish. . Is it really prone to cracking with the slightest fall as it is being shown in most blogs
It's unlocked right? Sorry for asking really wanna buy the phone.
It is said that Google will not support their Nexus devices on Verizon and Sprint. It's only available for T-Mobile and AT&T.
Aaron you would definitely benefit from a doubling of video export bitrate for these reviews.
yes but it only works on LTE BAND 4 though thats why they say its not really LTE because it only works on one band which means only a few carriers like rogers in canada and a few others is all
No, storage, battery is non-removable, and LTE i guess, but LTE is kinda working. Also the glass
What do you guys think
Lg optimus or this Nexus 4?
You're in the Dallas. Sweet lol nice phone review deciding now between this and the black One S made two good reviews
hey aaron.. how much is the boxed weight of this device with complete package?
Sounds like a great smartphone, great price, unlocked. One thing that's a bit scary is the fact that it's all glass (not unlike my iPhone 4) and the battery life isn't so hot. But this is full Google guys!
Nice phone. Thanks for the unboxing.
fair enough point.a higher storage model wouldn't have made a difference in demonsrating the features. Love the PhoneDog reviews though!!
I'm going to get this next week..!! Damn excited!!
Will buy this phone soon, so excited.
hey Morgan Maryann
How your nexus 4 did you get with contract tmobile or unlock str8 from google
yeah, but lot of people have lte available, but i dont need lte. Is it really something that you need?
Can you buy the nexus 4 at the at&t store??
just a side note, u shouldn't use the home button everytime, it consumes ram for no reason. use the back button and close the app.
What carrier do you guys have this phone on?
so is it still a fingerprint magnet without the protective plastic on the back?
Okay so what's better? HTC Evo 3d (Evo V 4g) or Nexus 4? Thanks
I'm getting mine about Sunday too!
Can you get this for Verizon? On the Nexus website the only carriers it shows is T-Mobile.
Any possible way at all to get it on Verizon?
Getting my 16 GB version tomorrow! Can't wait for this amazing phone to come in my hands! I'm getting a nerdgasm right now! :))))
i just bought on today can anyone tell me how long the delivery took..... thanks
Hey :) ..... how much its cost ??
2:50 which one is left?? which one is right??
The new keyboard is the best android keyboard ever! I ditched smart keyboard pro for the stock 4.2 one because its sensitive and accurate unlike the 4.1, and the swipe is so useful
where do u order it from.
Can you use it on sprint network?
What is Better Htc One X+ Or Nexus 4?
Hi Aaron, can you try and tell me if the Go Launcher Ex will function correctly in this device?, thanks.
Haven't watched PhoneDog in quite some time... I was really taken aback when I saw how much weight Aaron lost. Good job!(:
Very good !! but i'm confused ...i want to buy one but i don't know if the phone costs 299$ Only or 299$ with contract ??? please help me :)
ordered it 3 days ago! the mailman needs to hustle!!
Is best buy mobile going to sell this through T-Mobile?
I've got mine, had it for about a week and am now selling for IPhone 5 (I really do love both the platforms though)
Hi Aaron, I watched a comparison video between the N4 and Galaxy Nexus... Sadly the N4 only behaved marginally better. However you can't beat the price of the nexus 4
Those phones are excellent phones. The Droid DNA is good if you want a big screen, but I would recommend the Galaxy Note II over the DNA. The Galaxy S III is a great phone if want a great camera. The HTC One X is great all around but excels at sound with its beats audio. Still, the Nexus 4 is better to me because you get the latest version of Android first. Also, the price is really good for an unlocked device. It looks and feels great. It has lots of developer support & I love custom roms.
would you take it into att to get a sim card sense its a micro sim device?
Only the iPhone or also other smart phone there? ;)
For sure the Nexus 4. The Nexus 4 has a Quad Core 1.5GHz Processor compared to the grand duos 1.2GHz Dual core processor. The nexus 4 has 2GB of Ram where the Grand duos has 1GB of Ram. The Nexus 4 has 720p HD screen where the Duos has a 480p screen.
