The Nexus 4

Google and LG has worked together and released a new Nexus phone running the latest version of Android. It's not just any version of Android though, it's the pure "vanilla" version of Android, which was developed by Google themselves (no bloat) which also means you'll get very fast updates. Not only does it have fantastic specs, it's also very cheap.

Here are the fantastic specs:

• Built by LG
• Pure Android 4.2 (and very fast future updates)
• 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm / 5.27 x 2.70 x 0.36 inches)
• Weight - 139 grams
• Micro-SIM
• 4.7" 768x1280 IPS display (318 PPI) and full RGB matrix (not pentile) protected by Gorilla Glass 2.
• 8 or 16GB model available (no microSD card slot though. Will most likely support USB OTG storage with StickMount).
• HSPA+ cellular data (so no LTE, but the HSPA+ speed is up to 42Mb/s down, so it'll still be very, very fast). The basebands supported are 850, 900, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100.
• WiFi a/b/g/n (dual band). It seems like it also supports the 802.11ac standard, but I am not 100% sure.
• Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP, NFC, GPS, A-GPS, GLONASS, accelerometer, gyro, barometer, proximity, compass and dual microphones for noise-cancellation.
• MicroUSB with MHL
• 8MP rear camera
• 1.3MP front facing camera (enough for HD video calls)
• Quad core Krait CPU at 1.5GHz (each core's clock speed can be changed independently from other cores)
• 2GB of RAM
• Adreno 320 GPU (about as fast as the GPU in the iPhone 5)
• 2100mAh battery (non removable) with a durability of about 800 charge cycles (current phone batteries has about 500)
• 349 off contract, unlocked, for the 16GB model. 299 for the 8GB model from the Google Play Store.
