no tiktok, no shorts video format, cool looking designs...
those were the glory days

[SamBateson]

I would love it if the notification light was a capacitive button, so when you tap it, it opens up the notification shade

[saad]

I love the box. I look at mine everyday.

[notzon]

as a sales rep for a mobile carrier, these videos give me a ton of info on each device, Thanks for the awesome vids!!!

[MichiganTechReviewer]

Many think it has an uninspired design but I personally think this is one of the better looking phones available right now. Minimalist and elegant. The glass front and back give it a unified look, even if glass is fragile. I currently have the iPhone 5 and I'm not crazy about the duo-tone design on the back, but this nexus is beautiful. LG definitely stepped up finally.

one of the best reviews ive seen. close ups show great detail. love it.

[DarthAndre]

FINALLY, there's a person who actually appreciates these things. People nowadays are too compulsive to appreciate even the little simplest stuff that they have that didn't even exist last decade, like the smartphones of today.

Watching in 2024…I’ve had nearly every Samsung flagship phone over the years, recently switch to iOS and got the 15 pro max but…I had the Nexus 4 too years ago which is why I’m here. Man, those were the days, things were so much simpler…to this day, I’ll still say it was one of the best phones I’ve ever had.

[NoLie]

I have 3 colleagues with this phone. And all of them praises it in the best words. And these guys are no android fanboys. Its worth every penny.

[saad]

Your boy is back watching the review again.

[dfat]

I have this phone and been using it for 2 weeks now. Never had a problem with touch screen sensitivity.

There is no doubt that technology has advanced so quickly and continues to become better everyday. People always complain that they don't have the latest and greatest things. What I always tell myself is that I'm happy for what I have. Not everybody can afford things that people do. Also, when I'm 18 and I had my first phone when i was 14 and now I see kids these days younger than me having stuff better than me. Not that I'm complaining but kids are just too spoiled.

[NEOchildish]

i know he is an apple fan obviously but at least he doesn't compare devices in the reviews and go n about how he likes this specific product he tell you mostly facts and literally very few opinions in his videos.. keep up the good work :)

[ssbmars]

I think I read about a different material that could be used for batteries. It holds a way better charge than the current materials used in batteries . Also, some people at a university figured out how to cut charging time in half by using some crazy math skills.

Hopefully this stuff will become mainstream so we can see some drastically improved batteries soon.

[mrmorry]

Mike you are my favourite You tuber, no one else puts as much detail into their unboxing`s and reviews :)

[RobinZelders]

Tip when you try to make a photo sphere, try to keep the phone in its place, unlike you do in panorama mode where you move you're whole arm.

[JesseBWescott]

Man, you really do a good job with your videos. you throw allot of information out there and really go through it and i appreciate your videos man thanks!

[RobinZelders]

When you add a widget to the lock screen is not a bug that you see the unlock ring, you can swipe it down to hide it and swipe it up to bring it back. In this way you're able Ru unlock you're phone on every "screen"

Nice unboxing & demo. I was seriously considering the Note 2 for my next device, but I want to check out Nexus 4 for that pure stock goodness

[RFord]

I hear the LTE carrier issue. its nice to see them cut out of the process and still have a good price point. Also great review man.
