Nexus 4 Emerges at The Carphone Warehouse, New Press Shot Leaks

Nexus 4, the first device in Google’s popular lineup to be manufactured by LG, is nearing its official release, as new photos and promotional materials with it are making the rounds on the web.

The handset has been spotted at The Carphone Warehouse once again, this time in a series of promotional materials (screenshots available via XDA-Developers), which follow shortly after the device has been seen on the retailer’s website.

Said promo materials are being displayed at the company’s retail stores around the UK, which comes as a clear indicator that the launch date is indeed near, while also unveiling some additional info on the handset itself.

At the same time, the phone can be admired in a newly leaked press shot coming from Twitter user @evleaks, who has provided several such photos before.

For those out of the loop, we should note that the LG Nexus 4 smartphone is expected to hit the market with a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor inside, the same as the LG Optimus G did (the company’s Google phone is based on that flagship device).

It is also said to hit shelves with a 4.7-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a 768 x 1184 pixel resolution (320 dpi) and with an Adreno 320 GPU inside.

Moreover, the smartphone should sport 2GB of RAM, an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, and 8GB of internal memory, without a microSD memory card slot to expand it. The phone’s battery is expected to provide up to 12 hours of talk time.

Nexus 4 should hit shelves at The Carphone Warehouse at £390 (about $504 / €485) SIM-Free, but no specific info on when that might happen has been provided as of now.

With Google postponing today’s Android event due to Hurricane Sandy, it remains to be seen when exactly the device will be officially introduced, so stay tuned for more details in this.
