The start of the Nexus line may have been a tough start, but it made fans fall in love in a way that Pixels never managed. The problem with the Pixels is that they are premium priced phones, while the Nexus line invented the "flagship killer" in addition to the name.
This happened with the Nexus 4, which launched at a price of $ 300
/ € 300 / £ 280 (for 8GB models, 350 16,350 / € 350 for 16GB). You can get it
for as little as 200 a year after launch, but even more so for the launch price
of the unveiled 5 that unveiled earlier this week, which is demanding the new
Pixel 5. Less than half of it. This is less than the price of the Pixel 4A.
Let's see how they stack, keeping in mind that the Nexus dates back to 2012. The most notable difference is the chipset. Series
And note that the Nexus 4 came with 2GB of RAM. In this context,
the Samsung Galaxy S III, released six months ago, had only 1GB. To be fair,
Samsung had more storage than a box and had a way to expand it. For those
considering the Nexus, Limited was one of the breaches.
Going forward, the Nexus 4.7 "IPS LCD had a 720p
resolution, which was very standard for the day. The 15: 9 aspect ratio wasn't
so common - the smartphone's display was long and tight before it started. ۔
The display was struck by a protective Gorilla Glass 2 layer, a
technology LG called "ZeroGap Touch". It was all taken from the LG
Optimus G, which served as the basis of this phone and also gave birth to LG's
G series.
The Nexus 4 was powered by a small 2,100 mAh battery. Power
autonomy was not a strong suit, but the phone was the first Android to have Qi
wireless charging built in (the Nokia Lumia 920, which was unveiled at the
time, was also Qi). Of course, Palm Pre, a pioneer in many ways, was charging
wirelessly three years ago (using a different technology).
The Pixel Line left wireless charging for the first two
generations and still has only one model (5). While the Nexus was at the
forefront of charging technology, the Pixels aren't even competing (like they
lack fast wireless charging and wired charging is only up to 18W).
One thing that is in the Pixel 5 and 4A5G is from the next
generation - all 6 GHz 5G and in some areas MMV. The Nexus 4 was a 3G device
that disappeared from 4G networks in the new day (technically, it supported LTE
Band 4, but it wasn't widely used).
The Nexus 4 camera was standard enough for the time, with the 8MP
Sony BSI sensor taking pictures and recording 1080p videos (although it wasn't
particularly good). While the phone launched with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, the
update to the 4.4 KitKat added HDR + mode - Google's first steps in
computational photography.
Speaking of updates, support for the phone received Android 5.1
Lollipop was discontinued in May 2015, almost three years after its launch. Not
bad for 300, right?
There was an interesting holographic effect on the back of the
device. This was achieved with a pattern standing in the glass, in which the
light reflects light coming from different angles. Encashing patterns in glass
has become quite common these days, with manufacturers nowadays using various
geometric shapes from S-curves to Chevron to give the phone a bit of a
character.
