Nexus 4 costs U.S. $ 1,699 in Brazil and has powerful hardware - Tribune Today

Nexus 4 smartphone manufactured by LG in partnership with Google, already out of the box impressing. That’s because it has a clean design and very beautiful. Instead of plastic and other materials “less noble”, the handset screen and back are covered with glass, which gives a refined air – and also fragile and can not please the most fumbles. Basically, the user will feel proud to put it on the table of the bar, but need to be ever watchful for the device does not fall to the ground.

On the back, under the glass, LG whims and placed a soft glow shaped sequins – which goes far from tacky. The fact that the battery is fixed and the presence of only three buttons add to the beautiful design of the gadget.

The downside of this beauty (and the use of glass) is the apparent fragility of the device – a hypothesis which, fortunately, has not been proven in our tests. Any cell is subject to take tumbles. If a smartphone made of plastic already suffering heavy damage in falls, imagine what would happen to a device coated glass (or ask a careless user of iPhone 4, he will know).

Another characteristic of the glass used in the apparatus is low adhesion. With the material, the cell phone is more than a slippery soapy sapo. It was only making a turn very light and easy on the car, the unit ran by the panel and plopped into a cuddly rug (which does not happen with the Galaxy SIII that often travel in the same place). Thus, the chances of survival of the Nexus 4 in careless hands do not look great.

As for hardware, the main problem is that the smartphone heats up, even in common applications like Youtube or simple games. This is a “morninho”: nothing too much bother, but that is not welcome.

Speed ??

In terms performance, there is nothing to complain processor 1.5 GHz quad-core (four cores) product. Made to compete with top of the line smartphone market, he chokes when executing tasks. During testing, we made several activities at the same time as listening to music, access the internet and take pictures and even then the Nexus jammed.

To require stronger hardware, the story broke that actions were still half as the opening of a game. At that time, the smartphone needed time to think, but nothing else.

thin edge of the machine marry well with a touchscreen smooth and precise, offering good handling experience for the user. The buttons “menu” and “back”, traditional Android, this gadget is only virtual. Although it leave the cell more beautiful, at times takes a piece of the screen (which is 4.7 inches).

System

Speaking of user experience, the Nexus 4 is a good option for those who want to experience Android 4.2 the way he came into the world. That’s because he has no modification of smartphone manufacturers, as they usually do Samsung, Sony and many others. Who are familiar with the interface of Samsung, for example, will have a little trouble finding the icons system configuration.

Details

connectivity Nexus 4 is good and not get stuck in the 3G nor WiFi But it does not have 4G technology, which is already a reality in Brazil. This leaves the machine backward compared to models that have this kind of connection. Since the user needs to invest about R $ 1,700 to have the gadget, it would be nice if he could have what is most modern in the market.

Although the storage memory is not basic (16 GB), it can not be expanded by a micro SD card. May seem just details, but these are things like who decide who wins the fight of the line appliances tops.
