LG Nexus 4 released with latest Android OS
Tied to the announcement of Android 4.2 OS, the launch of the LG Nexus 4 smartphone received a warm welcome from Google fans. Here’s why we believe the LG Nexus 4 is a great release.
LG Nexus 4 overview
Serving up a 4.7 inch display, the LG Nexus offers a crisp High Definition display that brings your multimedia to life. As one of the first smartphones to operate with a Snapdragon S4 quad-core chip, the Nexus 4 chomps through your multitasking demands at blistering speeds. The Nexus 4 may have a 1.5GHz chip like the LG Optimus 4X HD, but this latest chip ensures improved battery life efficiency when you need that full power boost.
Improved Android features
The LG Nexus 4 smartphone is no different to previous Nexus releases that come with a brand new version of Android fresh out of the box. For the Nexus 4 release, we see Android 4.2; a refined version of Jelly Bean OS that trims down the fat and blends in some tasty features.
Google Now
A service that was already present within the original**Android Jelly Bean features** line up, Google Now pre-loads cards with information relating to your location, time of day or even when your favourite football team are in action. Updates to Android Jelly Bean OS means the LG Nexus 4 can deliver even more information to your smartphone. Near attractions and photo opportunities, hotel and flight reservations; it’s all just a swipe away from the Nexus 4 home screen.
Nexus 4 camera features
An 8 megapixel camera with full HD 1080p record, is a common spec seen in many of the best camera phones on the market. With the Photo Sphere feature, the Nexus 4 evolves past the traditionally flat photo to capture the entire scene around you. An amazing Panorama shot that captures above and below, your memories will make you feel like you’re gazing out at the world through a hamster ball. There’s also a front facing camera which will caters 720p HD video and is ideal for Google Hangouts (video calls) with multiple users.
NFC Features
With an NFC chip within the LG Nexus 4, the latest Android device seamlessly interacts with your world. Android Beam makes it easy to tap across videos, apps and music across to a friend’s NFC device in seconds. In addition the Google Wallet feature will prove handy as you tap your phone to pay for your shopping.
Wireless Charging
Similar to the Nokia Lumia 820 release, the LG Nexus 4 is Qi compatible, letting you charge without tangled wires. It’s great news for those who want to continue using their smartphone without being chained to a wall socket. In the future, it’s widely anticipated that coffee shops and airports will offer Qi charging stations, so you can just walk in and charge up. For those who want to wave goodbye to wires in their own home, the charging station will be sold separately.
