LG Nexus 4 "White" edition - hands on /tour

After countless leaks and speculation the folks from Google and LG finally made the white LG Nexus 4 official. It’s the same Nexus we know and love, with a nice new paint job. After plenty of talk at Google I/O about a white model with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean getting announced we were excited, but it’s still just on 4.2.2, for now at least

This morning Google announced the White Nexus 4, and we should be seeing it hit the Play Store with a brand new matching white bumper case starting tomorrow, May 29th. We’ve seen the phone multiple times, and it’s essentially the exact same smartphone, but we’ll talk a look anyways.

Obviously as some of you may notice, the device isn’t completely white. Instead the back and sides have a nice rubbery white paint job, while Google opted to keep the front fascia black. Some like it, some don’t, but at least we have the option. Then the same popular bumper case is now available in white and would even look good on that Black Nexus 4. Take a peek at both below.

Of course we’re working with Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, the absolute latest version of Android from Google. Although many rumors and speculation have Android 4.3 being announced and pushed to Nexus devices starting June 10th. So we’ll have to wait and see. You’ll be enjoying the same 4.7-inch 1280 x 768 IPS HD display, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor here.



We’ll get the same 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage, as well as a 16GB model being available. The device enjoys a decent 8 megapixel camera, NFC, and a 2,100 mAh battery. There’s nothing new here folks! So here’s a look at the bumper case too.



A few subtle differences here are the little nubs or feet on bottom to keep the devices back off of the ground. This should help prevent that glass-like design and camera lens from getting scratched. So basically here it is guys. The Nexus 4 officially in white. We really don’t need to pound this home. It’s the same device with a different color. The important part will be Android 4.3 whenever that gets announced. For now enjoy a few pics below and stay tuned for when the next version of Android drops.

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...

Nexus 4 , OG Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 will not receive Android 6.0

Although Google launched three new platforms for its Android 6.0 Marshmallow - the Nexus 5X , 6P and the Pixel C Tablet , a majority of users using older nexus devices are also said to receive the update very soon but those of you on Nexus 4 , Nexus 7 2012 and Nexus 10 devices will probably have to look elsewhere as software update support has officially been dropped for these three devices The Nexus 4 - a phone launched during the end of 2012 is still capable of running Android 6.0 but its low internal storage (the 8GB model) and due to the fact that it has been succeeded by 4 Nexus phones models since its launch ,and so keeping support for this device might be another chore for Google  so this model has officially hit its End of life now .  The Nexus 7 2012 - is another device that has ended its update service life and will not get any Marshmallow officially . The Tablet , launched in 2012 was one of the most popular and influential tablet devices to date as it...
