it's big it's sparkly and it doesn't have LTE yeah we were surprised too but whatever your opinions are Google's anticipated flagship phone has finally arrived hello everybody it's Lynn law from cnet here with the LG Nexus 4 on t-mobile the Nexus 4 has a 4.7 inch true HD IPS plus display that has a 1280 by 768 in a straight edge touch screen that LG phones usually have the Nexus has a very nice very premium feeling display that curves slightly into the bezel powering the device is a quad-core 1.5 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon s4 processor gameplay was very smooth on this handset and the graphics were vivid and rich there's also a 2.1 ampere hour battery inside which roughly translates to a reported talk time of 10 hours above the display is a 1.3 megapixel camera that can shoot 720p video and on the back is an 8 megapixel 1080p camera now as the Nexus phone of the year the device offers users a pure skinless Android experience and the most recent OS known as jellybean it comes packed with a bunch of new features particularly with the camera which now sports a tweaked UI with radial dials and more editing features there's also the photosphere shooting option which lets you stitch together pictures taken from every angle at a single point to create these expansive 3d esque photos other new jelly bean features include easy access to Google now which is tied into google search and voice search because Google now isn't technically a voice recognition service it's not like iOS is Siri but it does have assistant like abilities for instance it could suggest local restaurants and estimate your commute time the Nexus 4 also has gesture typing which is similar to swype two gigs of ram NFC and Bluetooth one huge feature it doesn't have however is 4G LTE now the last model the Galaxy Nexus didn't initially launched with it either but LTE has been around long enough that it's come to be a staple for flagship devices instead the Nexus 4 runs on 4g ish technology known as hspa+ which can be as fast as LTE sometimes Google Sites costs and battery life as some of the reasons it opted not to include LTE but it's hard to claim the Nexus 4 is cutting edge when phones like the LG optimus G and the motorola droid razr maxx HD are both powerful high-end and have LTE in general the device is solid its internal speeds are zippy and smooth the camera is packed with new features and the UI is indeed sleek but other than offering users a pure jellybean experience the phone doesn't have anything substantially new going for it the Nexus is design isn't anything we haven't seen before and while its data speeds are respectable its lack of LTE capabilities will definitely lead users feeling behind or slighted having said that however the Nexus has always been successful with devoted android fans and we predict that this one will be no exception plenty of cnet readers have anecdotally reported that differences in hspa+ and LTE speeds are negligible and what's more is that the nexus 4 is extremely affordable it will be available on November 13th unlock starting at 299 for the eight gig version and 349 for the 16 gig version t-mobile will start selling it a day after the 16 gig model will go for 199 alongside a carrier agreement again I'm Lynn and this has been the LG nexus 4 for t-mobile you
