 In a nutshell, we need this phone. And we need it now.

LG NEXUS 4, Behold the new king... at least for Dev's.

It has been a month now since the leaked pictures and specs of highly anticipated Google Flagship phone first surfaced. Since then fans have been getting their daily required dose.

Initially much to our surprise, Google has asked the services of "LG" this time around surprised the whole android community but that was not all as it turned out that the non-expandable storage on the phone will be a mere 8GB (which is still hard to digest) but now further leaks have confirmed for a much needed and understandable 16GB version.

With that said the design and build of the phone looks promising. Front panel is signature "All black" buttonless LCD 4.7" with HD resolution of 1280 x 768 and has not been changed much from the gorgeous looking galaxy nexus, back mimics the new LG Optimus G.

Under the hood it will be a beast running Qualcomm's latest chip APQ8064 which is a quad core 1.5Ghz S4 pro Krait CPU with Adreno 320 GPU that is using the company's 28-nanometer architecture, same as the S4. This means better battery life than chips based on 32- and 40-nanometer processors, such as the Samsung Exynos and Nvidia Tegra respectively. It also blows off all its competitors out of the water with its performance as the benchmarks have proved.This will be coupled with 2GB of RAM, 8MP back camera. Bluetooth will be V4.0 as well. It is also expected to run android new version 4.2 i.e. KEY LIME PIE.

We will keep a check on this one as the launch event unfolds.
