Active Blogs | Popular Blogs | Recent Blogs With Nexus 4, Google intends to shake up the smartphone segment with a powerful machine at a great price. But the Nexus 4 is delayed, the shortage seems to install and available stocks on the Play Store seem slim. Should wait to buy a Nexus 4? Response elements with our test Nexus 4 ...
 
In our pocket for a few weeks, our Nexus 4 made many envious. It must also be said that the Nexus 4 radiates both its characteristics and its attractive price than its availability very random on Play Store. Compaq Presario CQ60 only took a few minutes (30) to overcome inventory available forFranceon the first day of marketing the Nexus 4. A shortage that has led to the frustration of leaving some doubt undervalued stocks. With a ticket attached to 299 Euros for the 8GB version and 349 for the 16, Google and LG provides a terminal for the less attractive it was to be expected in high demand. Should be patient and wait for the availability of Nexus 4? Finishing performance and autonomy, here are our impressions of the new standard on Android.
Flattering finishes
Despite low prices, LG and Google have managed the feat to gratify their Nexus 4 a design satisfying and reassuring finishes. The assembly is accurate, high quality materials; the Nexus 4 delivers excellent perceived quality. Coating Gorilla Glass 2 front (against a "simple" Corning Nexus 7), plastic comfortable to the touch on the edges and back glass also prepared. This Pavilion DV6 would also have benefited from treatment against shocks, it seems quite fragile.
If it is not specially dared designs including the rear glass glitter not speak at all. Nexus 4 remains very simple and this small feature is valuable for us. With its 4.7 inches, the size is relatively content, 139 g on the scale (133 g as compared to a Galaxy S3 and 4.8 inches) and 133.9 x 68.7 x 136.6 x 9.1 mm against 70.6 x 8.6 mm for S3.
Connectors stripped
Attractive design, but counting at the keys and connectivity. Photo no trigger, no microSD slot (logical Nexus), no mini HDMI. You will only find the volume button, the standby button on / off and a microUSB not compatible Host / OTG ...This Sony VGP-BPS13 lack native management Host / OTG is regrettable, therefore the exit time USB keys, keyboard or joystick, it will go through the Bluetooth or wait for XDA members find a software solution ... For the video, no USB but a USB MHL to HDMI SlimPort.
Slap visual
Before a manufacturer of smartphones, LG is primarily a manufacturer of tile. Korean logically a certain mastery in the display. Here we find a slab 4.7 inches True HD IPS Plus (Plus techno used RGB). The viewing angles and accuracy in color reproduction is good.
We also find a very good brightness of 466.6 nits on white (for comparison, a Galaxy S3 shows 277.02 Nits, HTC One X 502.4 Nits and iPhone 5 according to AnandTech 605.11). Excellent brightness will display more comfortable outside with the sun. An LCD panel that provides a great contrast LCD with 1352: one located between our Nexus 4 iPhone 5 (1234.69: 1 according to Anandtech and 1154: 1 according Display Mate) and a reference in the field, the Galaxy S3 and 6395: 1 obtained on AMOLED. Slab versatile thus capitalizing on good brightness, color accuracy and contrast. Definition side with 1280 x 768 pixels and 318 PPI (326 for the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 to 306), the display is fine and detailed in the standards of high-end handsets.
It heats
Standard terminal forces on Android; the Nexus 4 is seen with a history of lasting benefit comfit comfortably next updates. 2 GB of RAM are implemented suggesting that this amount of RAM more than enough in the state will become a standard on high-end machines in 2013. Alongside these 2GB, LG has bestowed its solution Nexus Qualcomm quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait (APQ8064) Adreno 320 GPU supported. On paper, very heavy so that will provide a good life to Nexus before it is obsolete. Because currently difficult to benefit from this raw power, if not for video editing on mobile egg use at least anecdotal...
The benchmarks show performance logically felt in practice, it goes fast, very fast indeed, passage of an application, a 3D game being greedy egg HD video streaming via Sony VGP-BPS14 multitasking without slowing down, launch an application, time startup, it is fluid, RAS. If raw performance offered by the Nexus can not be in the state, fully exploited, our solution very muscular Qualcomm has made in a small drawback, it heats. Optimization software perfectible or heat dissipation mismanaged the Nexus 4 tends to heat up as soon as it tries to 3D games. We found a temperature of 40.8 ¡ã to the hottest place after 1/2 hour, and we are in winter...
Self correct without
With its 2100 mAh battery, but a bright and sharp configuration, autonomy is not necessarily the party. In fact, if the point of the day is clearly exceeded on a canvas to use "mixed" shows our Nexus 4 is much less enduring than iPhone 5 for example. It is closer to a Galaxy S3 but not as autonomous. It refers here to a mixed-use web call, some video, and music. For games, autonomy collapses logically. To put it simply, the Nexus 4 is average, this is not a marathon, but it is far from catastrophic on this point.
