When I saw the first presentation of the Nexus 4 on The Verge, Matias Duarte was proudly showing off the Hardware design with the glass front and back. And he specifically mentioned how they build the hardware so the glass is not directly touching the table. Interestingly this wasn’t the case at all when the device was released. Its slippery like hell and there is no offset on the back to lift... 

It isn’t easy to get his hands on a Nexus 4 these days. When Google released the Nexus 4 on the Playstore it was sold out in a few minutes, and the second time it didn’t last much longer.

So after I bought an iPhone 5 for my wife it was time... 

Google is causing some big waves with their current Nexus lineup. Not due to the general Nexus privileges like early Android updates and great hardware, but especially because of the incredible price tags. Getting a high-end smartphone like the Nexus 4 for only 299 $ unlocked and without a contract was unheard of. The same is true for the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 price tags. Then there is another Nexus...
