Google decides to absorb all mobile phone market for himself with announcing of Google Nexus series. It is said that Google intends to prove the pure - and to get the most out of - Android from these series. This time, LG was chosen to produce the new Nexus, Google Nexus 4.

Design

For the front part, you won’t see much differences from the previous version, but you will see some new talents from LG on the back side. A special kind of reflective pattern, protected with Gorilla Glass 2 as on the front side, has been used under the glass cover, shining over different light angles. You will never feel anything other than a smooth hard surface!
