It is hard to pinpoint exactly why this phone was so popular - perhaps its software, its hardware or its low price.
Made by LG, the Nexus 4 is Google's latest reference device for Android software and features the very latest version of Jelly Bean, v4.2, before any other phone. This update adds several useful if not major additions.
