The best android phone I've ever owned.
03/18/2013
This review is from: LG Nexus 4 E960 3G/4G LTE 16GB Unlocked Cell Phone 4.7" Black 16 GB storage, 2 GB RAM
Pros:
Display: I thought I would miss my old super amoled display, but the IPS display on this unit is very attractive. It doesn't disappoint.
Speed: It's an over-used term, but buttery smooth performance is probably the best description. As you navigate and open and close apps, there is never any stutter and the animations remain fluid.
OS: It came with Jelly Bean right out of the box. As with any Nexus device, it should receive updates first.
Phone: Call quality is great. Voices are crystal clear.
Build: Very solid. But the reflective back is both a pro and a con. It looks beautiful, but it's glass and be easily scratched.
Cons:
So much glass! It is a beautiful phone, but you must be careful. A good protective case is a must.
Most people may not hear this, but the audio quality is a slight step down from my previous phone (Galaxy S2). I'm using Klipsch Image X10 earphones which are well above standard quality, so that may be the only reason I'm noticing. Don't get me wrong, it still sounds great. It's just a mild downgrade.
You cannot replace the battery (not a deal breaker, but it's a con).
There is no SD card slot, so you cannot expand on local storage.
Overall Review:
If you don't have a micro sim, you will need one. I went to T-Mobile, and they gave me one for free.
