When Google's Nexus 4 smartphone went on sale a fortnight ago, it sold out extremely quickly. Those in the United States got a second shot at nabbing a Nexus 4 last week and Canadians got their turn yesterday afternoon. Now, it's the UK's turn.
Google has announced that the device will be back in the UK Google Play Store and on sale from 5pm today. As was the case with the fresh stock for the U.S., this news is apparently being emailed out to those that asked to be kept up-to-date with Nexus 4 happenings. If you want a Nexus 4 and don't want to have to turn to alternative channels, act fast. If the U.S. and Canadian markets are anything to go by, this new stock won't last long. Expect the cheaper 8 GB model (£239) to sell out first and the 16 GB (£279) version to go soon after.
Developed in collaboration with LG (a first for the South Korean company), the Nexus 4 packs a 4.7-inch 1280x768 IPS display (320 ppi), Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 8GB or 16GB of storage, an 8-megapixel camera (1.3-megapixel camera up front), a 2,100mAh Li-Polymer battery, NFC, and Android 4.2. Unfortunately, the phone doesn't have support for 4G LTE (though recent reports say it can be forced onto some Canadian 4G networks), nor does it allow for external storage via MicroSD, which means you're stuck with the capacity you choose at check out.
Let us know if you manage to get one!
