Price of Google Nexus 4 Reduced

The Google Nexus 4 made waves in the market when it was released due to its notable design and low price. Buyers were also not required to sign up for the usual tow-year service contract to purchase the device.

However, its appeal may increase since its price was reduced recently. The 8GB and 16GB models of the device are now priced at around $200 and $250 respectively. This is a price reduction of $100. Although it may not be inexpensive for users who bought price-subsidized devices from mobile service providers, it is inexpensive when compared to a number of unlocked mobile phones.

The device uses the latest version of the Android OS of Google.

Since the Google Nexus 4 is an unlocked device, users can use it on a number of wireless providers in the US. It is also convenient for international travelers since the device can be used on the local carriers of the country that travelers will visit.

However, the only shortcoming of the device is its lack of support for 4G LTE networks. Many smartphones in the US market support 4G LTE, which makes the Google Nexus 4 outdated. However, the $200 price tag may still appeal to new smartphone owners, who are prepared to forego 4G LTE connectivity for a reduced monthly bill.

Reports have also emerged on the possible release of the Google nexus 5. However, details on the next Nexus phone remain unclear. No information is available on whether it will have a similar price tag as the current Nexus phone when it was released last year.

The reduction in the price of the current Nexus phone may be in preparation for the release of the reported iPhone 5C, which is cheaper than the current models of the iPhone. The iPhone 5C will reportedly be promoted for users who are looking for an off-contract, unlocked handset similar to the Google Nexus 4.
