Google Nexus 4 Thread

[srkmish]

iPad is good but too costly especially the new models. You can do everything on the nexus 7 that you can do with the iPad and it comes with better specs too and as anupam_pb said it competes directly with the iPad mini at the same time being cheaper and better specced.
The new nexus 7" has even better specs and it blows the iPad mini out of the water.
Its specs are unofficially confirmed to be:
FullHD 1980 x 1200 display (iPad mini is still stuck on 1024*768)
Snapdragon 600 quad core processor with adreno 320 GPU (same as top end phones like the Galaxy S4 and HTC one)
2GB RAM
5MP camera,1.2MP front cam
Slim port for HDMI out
Wireless charging
16GB/32GB variants at $229/269 resp
Android 4.3 and guaranteed future updates

Not bad eh?

Specs are not everything man. Ipads have a track record of being very reliable over a long period of time while u can see threads filled with Nexus 7 performance degradation after a couple of months due to tegra 3 chip corruption. Plus ipad mini has a larger screen estate to play with.

Coming to specs, my dual core A5X + 512 MB Ram ipad mini can play any game you throw at it and has better battery life than any other tab out there ( except for Ipad 4 of course).

My preferred combo of gadgets is - Ipad mini(Gaming) + Ipad 4(Will buy soon for browsing/pdfs) + Android Phone( Love android phones)

[webgenius]

Its the best one

Also the costliest one. Personally I don't prefer shelling out more than 500 to 600 bucks for a case.

Actually because of the flash storage chip. That becomes slow.

Just limited storage and not so good battery life. Everything about it is pro.

And limited storage is personal preference..

So N4 is the King.

Also N4 doesn't have network video calling support ...... I use it 2-3 times a month, as in my hometown, internet is slow, so Skype video calling is not good......

Also my phone has a strange problem, I'm unable to send message to one of my friend's number(no problem with other numbers n contacts). The message remains in outbox for 1-2 min then it fails...... Any solution?

If you are able to send sms to other numbers then its not the issue of your phone. If its the issue with ur phone then none of your sms will be received by their intended receivers.

Neither me. My phone is filled with 10 GB of data. I don't like playing HD games and all in a phone or tab.
