If you happen to have T-Mobile for your wireless provider of choice and are interested in getting the new LG Nexus 4, the new Google flagship device, the Magenta carrier has confirmed that it will start offering the smartphone online starting November 13. The handset on the other hand will hit the shelves of T-Mobile’s brick and mortar retail locations a day later.
As for its price point, prospective buyers have the option of going for the Value Plan or the Classic Plan. If you choose the Value Plan, you will shell out $199.99 down payment with an additional 20 equal payments of $20 per month in a new two-year service agreement on qualifying voice and data plans. If you go for the Classic Plan, you will fork out $199.99 with the same new two-year contract with the wireless provider on qualifying voice and data plans.
In addition to the LG Nexus 4, the Magenta carrier also confirmed that it will offer the Google Nexus 7 tablet.
As for the LG Nexus 4, this is the latest iteration of the Google flagship smartphone and already runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the latest version of the Google mobile operating system. We’ve heard so much about the handset in the past couple of weeks through rumors and speculations but now the handset is as official as it can get following the announcement from Google a couple of days back.
In terms of its design and aesthetics, the LG Nexus 4 looks like your typical Android smartphone with its black colorway and form factor that makes it look like a slab of black plastic. It has dimensions of 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1 mm and it weighs in at 139 grams. of course, being the Google flagship device that it is, the handset is expected to pack a solid build quality befitting a smartphone of its status.
Under the hood, the LG Nexus 4 already runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean for its operating system as mentioned earlier. The circuitry of the handset in its internals is built around its QualComm APQ8064 SnapDragon chipset which brings into play a quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait processor and a staggering 2GB of RAM. This RAM-processor combination works in conjunction with each other to generate the computing muscle required by the handset for its snappy and buttery smooth performance.
In terms of its storage space, the LG Nexus 4 will be offered in an 8GB and a 16GB model but sad to say, there is no dedicated memory expansion slot in the chassis of the handset so you need to be very vigilant with the files that get saved in its internal memory. As for its display, the LG Nexus 4 sports a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus capacitive multitouch panel made from Gorilla Glass 2 with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. Its dual-shooter configuration on the other hand boasts of a main 8MP shooter at its back panel while its front-bezel houses the smartphone’s front-facing 1.3MP video call and self-portrait camera.
