LG Nexus 4 - worst kept secret in tech.
Spec looks fair to middling.
Decent chip, screen and camera. NFC but no LTE. only 8GB and 16GB options (no SD card slot)
But the price :eek:
very high spec for the price !!!! £239 for the 8gb and £279 for the 16GB

That was my point. Its not a great leap in spec (similar to the S3 ?) but its almost half the price :eek:
would be interested to see a side-by-side spec comparison against the S3.
My kids are due upgrades in time for christmas. They had said they wanted S3's but I may try and lead them into the Nexus way

Looks very similar to the Galaxy Nexus. No physical buttons on the front - which is great !
Thanks.
Really tempted to get this.

Maybe it's time to upgrade my Galaxy SII, the wireless charging looks interesting.
This makes the spec look very good indeed.......
Seems to beat the S3 on many counts. Only the lack of SD support and no LTE as the downsides.
lack of SD im already used to, and I live in the countryside so LTE missing is no great loss either
Does it use micro sim or normal size?
Samsung share price may take a big hit immediately, it's top end market share may take a hit in the run up to Christmas.
Nexus phones dont have sd card support which is the only bummer.
Of course you meant sim so I will shut up

Microsim
That the US s3 mind not UK quad core
Yes but the Nexus 4 is also quad core ......
It certainly could tempt a few waverers. Top spec for low cost. There certainly doesnt seem to be that much difference between it and the S3 for the price difference involved.
is the UK S3 LTE version quad core ? I thought that was the whole issue .... that the quad core chips werent LTE capable yet ? hence the US version only being the dual core.
Thanks
I'm really surprised at the price of this phone.
No thats what I meant the comparison chart was US s3 dual core, quad LTE still not capable in US yet but about to change soon I believe. UK s3 LTE is quad core yes.
Had a good look at these phones and s3 is a bit better in my opinion but whether it is £100 - £150 better is certainly up for debate.
