Google just announced their new Nexus 4 phone made by LG and it’s new Nexus 10 tablet made by Samsung. Google has postponed its New York event due to an incoming typhoon but it let the cats out of the bag anyway, possible to pre-empt Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 launch.
The Nexus 4 has 4.7” 320ppi display with wireless charging and also has the latest Jellybean Android 4.2 (with features such as PhotoSphere). It’s being sold for a measly $299 for 8GB and $349 for 16GB unlocked but take note it is using micro sim and has non-replaceable battery.
