Into It is a special moment for Android: the green armored robot is in the lead in the battle between operating systems, at least for number of units sold. But also the quality of the most advanced devices now you can say comparable to that of rival, Apple becomes a matter of opinion. Happy time so that the credit must be given in part to product line Nexus , directly designed by Google and manufactured in collaboration with major manufacturers to give inspiration to the consortium Android. Now, after a chase that lasted years, Nexus 4 might take forever iOS, Windows Phone, the young, the resurrected BlackBerry 10 and different operating systems on the rise.

And the momentum c ‘is: the last Nexus, developed in collaboration with LG, is the first in the series that tries to venture from the design. The rear panel is covered with a texture that pixellosa the shine , depending on how it is affected by light . A very special effect, which can not, but it fits well in the context of a smartphone that focuses on the play of light, thanks to the use of glass on both sides (Still, it’s a Gorilla Glass 2).

This is not a mimetic device: the screen is 4.7 “and the weight is not down, but the reduced thickness and the frame almost nonexistent put it on a par with phones with larger screens content and size Total more, as the titanic Lumia 920. Only handling is hampered by the use of glass, but all in all the 4 is a smartphone with personality: it’s your love it or hate it.

What you can hardly hate you Android 4.2: the latest version of Google’s operating system is a step further compared to the immense job of cleaning carried out with the 4.0 and the finish of 4.1. Fluidity and smoothness of the frame web pages are at the top, and passing from the home screen to the settings you can see clearly the increasing coherence that Big G is slowly putting the user interface. The Nexus 4 then, as usual, will always remain at the forefront receive updates: in the future will be exceeded in hardware, but the software will always come first.

It is just the hardware but in perplexing. Not that there’s anything wrong with the Nexus 4, indeed the level of specification is very high: the quad-core processor at 1.5 GHz and 2 GB of RAM are the major benefactors of the performance sprinter from the smartphone, and there are more in Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, DLNA support, USB host mode is also available, and even susceptibility to wireless charging.

However, no network support LTE, a microSD card slot (a classic of the Nexus line, though) and a camera that can compete with the wonders of which they are capable technology PureView the Lumia 920 and the innovative HTC UltraPixel One: here we have a simple sensor 8-megapixel backlit ability to shoot in HDR. Good, but not great.

The Nexus 4 words is not the ultimate smartphone of this generation. Google now has been exceeded by students , which from Samsung and HTC through Sony, they’re doing very well. The latest smartphone from Mountain View, however, remains an example of how rocky Android has deserved the success it has built over the years, as well as a powerful phone and proof of age more than any other.

The biggest regret is the distribution, in Italy was canceled after the first posting to a crazy price – in line with that of the top com petitors of the range, while in the countries where Google is with its Play Store only be sold at a fraction of what it costs here. The real trump card of Big G – why take home the new Nexus with closed eyes – it was just that. So instead, it is better to properly evaluate the costs or wait a lucrative offer on the Net
