The Nexus 4 is a smartphone co-developed by Google and LG Electronics that runs the Android operating system. It is the fourth smartphone in the Google Nexus series, a family of Android consumer devices marketed by Google and built by an original equipment manufacturer partner.
The exterior of the Nexus 4 uses a glass-based construction with a rounded plastic bezel; to improve the use of edge swiping gestures, the glass is slightly curved on the sides of the screen. Internally, the Nexus 4 shares much of its hardware with the LG Optimus G; it is powered by a 1.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor with 2 GB of RAM, providing either 8 or 16 GB of internal storage; like the Galaxy Nexus, the Nexus 4 does not contain a MicroSD slot. The Nexus 4 also supports the Qi inductive charging standard. The Nexus 4 uses a 4.7-inch, 720p IPS display, and includes an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera.
The Nexus 4 shipped with a stock version of Android 4.2; branded as "a sweeter tasting Jelly Bean", it is an incremental update to Android 4.1 with additional new features. Widgets can now be placed on the lock screen, accessible by swiping from the sides of the screen, while a "Quick Settings" menu was also added to the Notifications shade accessible by dragging from the top of the screen with two fingers.
