Nexus 4 Unboxing & First Impressions!

2012-11-20
hey what's up guys I'm Kay PhD here and if you're like me you've probably watched about every single other Nexus 4 video on YouTube by now and I know that some people will skip this video but I want to bring this to you guys anyway so thumbs up for that this is the Nexus 4 unboxing and first impressions and the Nexus family just FYI is now complete and that's a beautiful thing either way here's what it looks like this is the box and we're gonna go ahead and dig into it straight away after you cut the tape and wiggle the top off BAM there is your Nexus 4 right on top but we're not done here we're gonna go ahead and move that to the side of course but I can already feel the full weight of the phone because the battery is in it already of course and it does feel pretty solid but behind this cardboard you have a little bit of paperwork as this QuickStart guide I might not ever read that and below that sits the wall adapter and actually a standard microUSB charging cable and also included is a micro SIM card tray objector so you can get your SIM card in and out of the phone and of course what unboxing experience would be complete without the removal of that protective shipping plastic and this is about the cleanest the phone will ever be right after you remove these stickers for the first boot it is pretty similar to what we saw in actually my Nexus 10 unboxing so if you haven't already seen that the link is in the description basically the first boot is pretty quick flies right through the Google screen and then the Nexus logo right into the intro screen and then we can go ahead and set up the phone for the first time alright first thing it's doing right after I set up with my Google account is installing the latest version of Android 4.2 jelly bean so I'm just gonna be patient and let this finish and then we'll get right into it Android is now upgrading on my apps and we are live and this is Android 4.2 jelly bean on the Nexus 4 alright so my first impressions of the hardware of the Nexus 4 are that first of all it is really glassy as you can probably already tell the Nexus 4 has Gorilla Glass 2 on the front and grow glass to here on the back and overall it's a unibody design so everything's sealed in so it does have a pretty high quality feel and it's kind of light but I wouldn't say it's a whole lot lighter than the Galaxy Nexus but it is a little bit lighter but on the back you might not be able to tell it's kind of hard at the camera angle but it has a subtle design that's only viewable from certain angles see how caught the light right there it has very clean look it's uh it looks like it's textured from some angles but then from other angles when you turn it the other way it's clearly not textured but it's overall a really cool look but yeah obviously the hardware is brand new internally you have that Snapdragon s4 pro which is a just a performance monster but that's all gonna drive this new software so go ahead and unlock here this is Android 4.2 jelly bean on the new Nexus now first of all you saw when I unlocked and it gives me that close animation but when I unlock on the left on the right you see the outlines for me to swipe and that's letting me know I can swipe to get directly into the brand-new 8 megapixel camera which from experience I've just played with it a little bit is really fast to focus and of course when I open up again you can select to the left to add some widgets to your homescreen of course you can swipe up to Google now or just unlock like a normal person there we go to unlock it to Android 4.2 it comes stock with this pretty nice live wallpaper out of the box which is kind of cool but basically the point of me doing this video is to ask what you guys want to see about the Nexus 4 in the full video review of here is the quick settings you can see here and the button to go to the new Android 4.2 quick settings from the notification tray so that's really cool I want to know what you guys want to see I know that battery life is an issue you guys want to know what this 2100 milliamp hour battery can do which is the same size that's in my Super Nexus / Galaxy s3 but there are some other things like performance and gaming that I will definitely try to cover in my full review so again thumbs up and +1 if you're ready for that and that's basically it so thanks for watching this quick unboxing and first impressions video of the Nexus 4 and I'll talk to you guys in the next video Hey you
