 "Google drops Nexus 4 price, now starts at $199 on Play Store")
Google has now made the Nexus 4 a whole lot lighter on the pocket for potential buyers. The latest Nexus device is now selling at a $100 less from its earlier official price on Google’s online store. From what can be seen on the Google Play Store right now, the 8GB variant of the Nexus 4 is up for grabs for $199 (Rs 13,380 approx) while the 16GB model will set you back by $249 (Rs 16,750 approx).
There is no official word on a newer Nexus smartphone yet, though earlier reports have hinted at a possible Nexus 5 in the pipeline. While that is still speculation, there is a definite possibility of the current Nexus line-up getting a few updates. The reasons for this assumption are manifold.
The first reason is the considerable inter-player competition that the Android market has. Major smartphone players like Samsung and Sony, among others, have been launching a host of new smartphones into the market this year. And Google itself has released Play editions of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One. This culminates in the Nexus 4 no longer being the only smartphone in the market with a stock Android experience. Thus the company may be looking for different avenues for the Nexus 4, the first being this considerable price drop.
Google has dropped the price of the Nexus 4 on the Play Store
The company has mentioned that the price drop is applicable only in Australia, France, Germany, Spain, Korea, the US and the UK. The current price of the 16GB variant on the LG Nexus 4 in India still stands at Rs 25,990 on Flipkart. The price drop definitely makes the Nexus 4 a lot more appealing, on paper at least, and it is hoped that the company expands on the number of markets that this offer is being rolled out to.
A quick recap shows that the Nexus 4 sports a 4.7-inch display with a resolution ratio of 1280 x 768. This amounts to a pixel density of 320 ppi. Internally, the smartphone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro SoC. In terms of photography, the Nexus 4 comes with an 8-megapixel primary camera and a 1.3-megapixel front shooter. Additional features include 8GB of internal storage as well as 2GB of RAM.
