Google has dropped the price of its flagship smartphone, the Nexus 4. The 8GB variant is now available for $199 (Rs. 13,400 approx.) and the 16GB variant is available for $249 (Rs. 16,800 approx.). There is no specific reason for the drop in price of the smartphone but we speculate that this is because Google will unveil the next Nexus soon, as early as October 2013. The new price is for a contract free brand new Nexus 4.
The drop in price of the Nexus 4 has happened in a bunch of markets including Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Korea, and the UK. There is no information whether the smartphone will see a price drop in India but if it does happen, a lot of local smartphone makers will be in for some stiff competition. In India, the Nexus 4 is currently available for Rs. 25,990
Google tweeted, “We've lowered the price of #Nexus4. Get it for 25% off or more in Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Korea, US, UK:”
The Nexus 4 has very good hardware under the hood and there are competing device that showcase a better camera and display but the advantage of owning a Nexus devices is that you will be the first person to receive all the latest Android updates and the vanilla Android UI is still the best UI to work on.
LG Google Nexus 4 shows off a 4.7-inch True HD IPS touchscreen display with 1280x768 pixel resolution. It is powered by quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset along with 2GB RAM. A 2100mAh battery powers the entire package. The smartphone runs on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
