The Google Nexus 4 hit the market like a ton of bricks and shortly after it launched, supply went lean and the demand proved to be too high, so the phone sat of stock for some time. Handsets were being sold for just $350 for the 16GB option, while the 8GB option had the lower price of $299 on the tag. The pricing for the Nexus 4 has stayed the same ever since the first day that it was made available to the public through the Google Play store, but that is about to change.
Google announced the Nexus 4 smartphones are going to be getting a pricing discount of up to $100 depending on what smartphone you choose. According to sources, the unlocked 16GB model of the Nexus 4 can now be purchased for just $250, while the 8GB option can be purchased for just $200. All of the prices for the Nexus 4 do not include contracts since they are actually unlocked and ready to activate on the mobile carrier of your choice. The discounts could be partly to blame on the fact that Apple is about to release the iPhone 5C, which is a budget friendly option for those that want to upgrade to the iPhone.
The iPhone 5S and the iPhone 5C are both expected to arrive on the 10th of next month, but the pricing is still up in the air on both of those device. If rumors are correct, the new iPhone 5C could be priced at just $400 for the unlocked version. The Nexus 5 is also ready to hit the market and that could also be a part of it of the reason that the smartphone is seeing lower prices as Google makes room for the fifth generation handset.
For the most part, the reviews posted online show that the Nexus 4 is an impressive handset that features a 4.7-inch IPS LCD touch screen display, a quad-core processor that is clocked at just more than 1.5Ghz and a graphics. The Snapdragon chip works very well with the Adreno 8 graphics processor that is included. The phone has an 8MP camera facing out of the back side along with a smaller, 1.3MP camera and that on works with video chatting, etc. Support for Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi networks, mobile hotspot, HDMI via microUSB port.
