I've had my nexus 4 for like 3/4 years now and works as good as it did on the day I got it except that it heats up really really quickly (much quicker than it used to) from just talking over messenger and listening to music. It is almost perfect, it's my favourite phone I ever had and the only reason why I want to upgrade is because snapchat doesn't work well with it but then I don't know if that is the phone or the OS and the camera is a bit shit.

I'm still using my Nexus 4 to this day, it has no lag at all and my friend has owned 2 more phones since. However as I approach the 3 year mark and the new Nexus phones have been announced I think it's about time I give myself an upgrade (thinking of the 5X). Nexus 4 - probably the best phone I've ever owned.

I have a Nexus 4 device. The Camera is not a game changer. And yes the camera also does not produce the best images. But, for day to day use and taking into account that it is just a Cellphone camera, it is more than sufficient. 8 MP back camera produces good quality pictures. Also the 4.3 Jellybean upgrade makes the picture rendition better! So if you want to buy a Nexus 4, go for it. Or wait for a few more months and you will have a Nexus 5 coming out soon enough! :)

Hi Marques, Definitely your channel is one of the best in my collection. Especially the quality of the shots and the editing that goes in each of your reviews are superb! What camera do you use for capturing all your reviews? is it a cell phone camera or a full fledged one!? Question about Nexus 4's camera: I see most review not going in favour of the camera, I would like to know - is this to do with the lens or the chipset or is this only a software issue which can be fixed by a tweak?
