I have to say, I'm always getting excited when new tech comes out because that meas a new video from you and I base my purchases off of your reviews.

2019 now, even I have coral blue S9 I still want this white Nexus 4!

Best thing about Nexus 4 is that it just works perfectly. Everything works as it should from the get go. I also like the fact that it has a really nice and solid build...I dropped my nexus 4 like half a meter to a concrete floor and it didn't get any scratches nor bumps. The rubbery finish on the sides feels particularly amazing in hand. Gives you a firm grip. However it can slide easily on a smooth surface and the camera doesn't make particularly good photos, they should add postprocessing asap

Just a heads up...The added small feet at the bottom of the white nexus, , were mainly meant to elevate the speaker so the sound comes through fairly well when laying on a flat surface. Also i had a black nexus now long back, and it now has the small feet at the bottom too.

Just FYI the build of the black nexus 4 in your review is the older build. the new nexus 4 (black) build JDQ39/E has the same nipples in the back as the white version. For the white phone all they did was made white housing and took the black nexus digitizer and put them together so once the housing replacement parts comes out for the white nexus 4 people can turn their black one to a white one too for $50 for OEM parts.

They put those bumps on the bottom of the phone to prevent it from sliding off of things. They also updated the black version with this some time ago. A bunch of people were experiencing the nexus sliding off of tables and breaking. So there you go.

Oh and it is easier and more convenient to use than an iPhone. It just isn't cumbersome because you can share anything to any app and it has a filesystem built in, so that's a huge plus. And the display is incredibly sharp... I totally ditched my SGS3 (quad core version)

Those "bumps" on the back of the white Nexus 4 are also present on the revised version of the black Nexus 4.

I got mine a week ago and I love it hands down the best phone ever thanks for inspiring me to get it I got the black version btw.

[JesseBWescott]

i do like that they kept the front black, i was think that myself that it hides all the sensors much better also not outlining the screen. definitely thinking about the Google Nexus line up, i was watching your Nexus tablet review, and i really wanna test one hands on. great video as always!

[justinbrennan]

Love all of your videos!! I am a very techy person (lol) and I literally have watched close to all of your videos. I got the S4 the day it came out thanks to your reviews on the Galaxy Note 8.0 and Galaxy Note 2! Thanks for all the videos!!

Those bottom bumps are on newer editions of the black version, apparently they're to stop the speaker being so muffled when the phone is lying down.

[MattGreenland]

You're black nexus is also the first black version without the bumps at the bottom and the camera build variation. yes there is two version of the black nexus with only two things setting them apart.

[KevinPhanPlus]

The White Nexus 4 is beautiful :D It's like my Samsung Galaxy player 5.0. Black in the front, while white on the back. looks nice!

[khkh]

love this channel .
i feel it's late to release the white version of the nexus 4 . everyone thought there won't be a white one, we were waiting a new device not the same phone with a different color !
and i'd go with the white one

[willphilpot]

my black nexus 4 has the 2 bumps at the bottom.

[RockThinking]

Your review influence people's buying decision. Good review.

[aha]

I personally would get the white one, it is exactly what I will be doing in a couple days. But you shouldn't listen to me, pick the color you like best.

FYI: The new black version also has little nubs at the back so you don't scratch the glass

[animationcreations]

The little nubs on the back were available on an updated version of the back Nexus 4 back in March.
