The Nexus 4 is currently the smartphone I am craving for. I was able to experience it just the other day and I must admit, every other smart phone experience pales in comparison. Even the Sony Xperia Z or the Samsung Note 2 cannot compete with it. Call it my affinity and loyalty to the Google lineage (I own a Nexus 7, and spazz about Google Glass) but nothing beats the Nexus 4! I was toying around with it and--somebody should've done a spirometry test on me because it was so hard to breathe--I fell in love. This isn't really new, but here's the skinny on what Google's flagship smartphone has to offer us.
Appearance
The front reminds me so much of my Nexus 7! All black that looks like it's made of glass. No buttons up front, leaving more space for the screen to take. Edges are rounder than 7, back is an extremely appealing piece of work that reminds me so much of Marina Bay's dancing wall. It's an 4.7 incher, but unlike many of that length, the GNex 4 has a wider built, making it seem bigger than it actually is. The GNex 4 has a more eloquent feel as opposed to Samsung Note 2's plasticity (or am I just being too horribly biased here?) Awesome and crisp 1280x768 (320ppi) 4.7-inch display, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2.
OS
Runs on latest of the latest: Android Jellybean 4.2.2 (upgrading to 4.2.3 this June) like the other Nexus flagships (7 and 10). Gets the latest updates from the original android developer (that is, Google itself). This is a nice perk, Samsung tabs get updated later (my sister has a Tab 2.0 on ICS, now JB after a year) because updates pass through Samsung before hitting Google so that might cause the delay. And as opposed to iOS, I prefer android because of (a) familiarity and (b) more free apps and apps in general. Cutting edge Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro processor and 2GB RAM.
8MP, takes 1080p videos.
Awesome Features
PhotoSphere (capturing Panoramic shots)
Android Beam (with other NFC enabled device such as the other Nexii, Note 2, S4, etc.)
Other Play things (Books, Magazines, Movies)
