Additionally, photos can be automatically uploaded to a private album with Instant Upload so you’ll never lose a shot, allowing you to share those precious moments with friends and family directly from your phone.

All of this comes to life with stunning clarity and crisp, natural color on the vibrant 1280-by-768 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display supported by Zerogap Touch technology – which is protected by scratch resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2. Gently curved glass edges allow your finger to slide smoothly on and off the 320ppi screen, while cutting edge display technology means you feel like you’re touching every pixel.

Nexus 4 comes with a cutting-edge Qualcomm Snapdragon^TM S4 Pro processor, so you’ve got speed and power to spare. Zip around the web, experience rich 3D graphics and gameplay, and effortlessly switch between multiple apps without missing a beat. With 2GB of RAM and the latest version of Android, Nexus 4 is the snappiest Nexus smartphone yet.
