Been trying to order the Google Nexus 4 since I arrived here in San Diego, CA yesterday but to no avail. The waiting time is now between 6 to 7 weeks for the 8GB and already sold out again for the 16GB.
Fortunately, during our tour of San Diego City today, one of the delegates from Vietnam (yeah, the guys who made those iPhone leaks) has one which I borrowed for a short while.
The handset feels really good on the hands, has that very solid feel and some heft that gives the impression it’s the same build quality as the iPhone 4/4s with the sandwiched glass body. Android 4.2 Jellybean is very smooth on this device.
The back panel has that glossy finish, feels like glass or some very hard transparent polycarbonate material that laminates the glittery design. Despite having a 4.7-inch panel, the Nexus 4 feels a little short (because it’s wider than your usual handset like the One X, Optimus 4X HD or S3).
All in all, it’s a pretty neat Nexus handset.
We tried the rear camera on the device and the shots are impressive. Here are a few photos we took from it.

We’ll add some more info about it later after we’ve download Antutu and Quadrant for some benchmarks.

I hope the 25k price tag in retail stores is not true. Although I’m sure the Online stores will make an effort to match the SRP. So I would rather buy there.

walang google play sa atin kaya LG magbebenta kay mas mahal.
luis says:
Sabi nga sa lg megamall 1st week of december daw. Reserved a unit pero i doubt na darating nga yan. 25k nga raw.

I would rather buy in Google Play because it’s more affordable! That’s Google’s goal for this device in the first place. To make it sell like hotcakes kaya nga mura nilang binebenta sa Play Store. Won’t buy it in LG Stores!
Mike Mamaril says:
I’m sure the gray market prices will be more competitive. I doubt LG Philippines will sell alot at that price. For 25k you can already get an iPhone 4 which is more appealing to a lot of consumers, and majority of android users are budget conscious too.

The back panel of the Nexus 4 is made of glass and not some hard polycarbonate. However, like the iPhone4/4s, it is prone cracking when bumped into a hard surface or corner (obviously it’s glass! check out the verge). I’n not sure if Gorilla glass is really that strong enough to withstand daily abuses. My previous phone, A Sammy S2, has a scratch in the front panel and it really irritates me because Gorilla glass is supposed to be scratch-proof. It was the same story with my iPhone 4.

Been using this phone for the past few days and it’s great. My only problem is that the hardware feels a lot like the iPhone. My GNex is going to retire. :)
