- Quick Toggles.

etc.

Camera

The Camera takes excellent shots and is effective at producing good quality images. It's not really on par with the cameras such as Galaxy S3 but it's more - less the same to the human eye. The camera can capture 360 panorma and even lets you share it to add to google maps!.I have several shots for you to decide. Night Shots , Day Shots , Cloudy Shots.

Samples:

Performance

- Games work well such as Temple Run 1 , 2 , Fruit Ninja , Angry Birds... Epic Citadel Gives me 59.5 fps on highest settings. Theres no slow down in system thanks to 2gb of ram. Multitasking is great as the apps i open don't close.

Disadvantage

- The main disadvantage for me would be the memory space , Installing games already took half of my memory.

- The speaker on the phone can be blocked easily , if it isnt blocked , it produces a loud sound.

Advantages

- The Nexus 4 is a pure google device so you get the latest android releases from google much like i devices.

- The hardware build has a premium feel.

- The Flashlight on this phone is crazy! it can light up a whole room! It even lights brighter than a torch!

- Its a Nexus so the developer community is great , you have so many roms and kernels for the phone. Ubuntu OS may also be possible in the near future!

Final Verdict

The Nexus 4 is a great device for people . Its cheap , 299 , 350 in Play Store, but other places can be 450 or 499 , which is still cheaper than the S3 in some places for the hardware you get!

The Nexus 4 is a great device that can appeal to people who is a power user but may not appeal to average customers as the Nexus brand isnt well known around the world.

Alternatives?

The Optimus G is a good alternative as its more or less the same device.

The Galaxy S3 , Even though its ageing now , it's still a powerhouse

Xperia TX / Z / T / ZL , These devices are from sony has excellent cameras and has good performance. But to pay for sony is premium!

Thanks for reading my review.
