Todays event may have been cancelled but that hasn’t stopped Google from announcing official details of their latest Nexus Device. It’ll be called the Nexus 4 and will be made by LG. Its essentially the device all the leaks have pointed to for the last few weeks.
Here are the specs:

• Camera: 8.0MP rear / 1.3MP HD front
• Battery: 2,100mAh Li-Polymer (embedded) / Talk time: 15.3 hours / Standby: 390 hours
• Size: 133.9 x 68.7 x 9.1mm
• Weight: 139g
• Other: Wireless charging, NFC
Also announced was a new accessory called the wireless charging orb, which is very similar to the Palm touchstone that shipped with the Palm Pre. The device will also be running Android 4.2 which we are getting more details about shortly.
The phone will be available on the Play store for $299 for the 8GB model in the US. UK prices are £239 for the 8GB variant and the 16GB will only cost you £279.

Hey! the iphone is better because it has a 6ppi better screen- lol
That is an astonishing price, I did a bit of a double take on that. Just a smidge under half the price of the equivilant iPhone, £130 cheaper than the SGS3 and it is even cheaper than the old Samsung Galaxy Nexus by £20. Wowsers!
I suppose the only thing people will whine about is the lack of LTE, but tbh, that is no bad thing as the EE pricing and data allowances are pretty poor.
I agree, if this has got decent build quality, then it will sell bucket loads….I was expecting a price of £400 upwards, it’ll certainly make the competition sit up a bit.
