This is definitely a first – at least as far as Nexus devices go. By now, after seeing numerous front and profile pics of what was already being called the LG Nexus 4, we are surprised if a day goes by without any leaked pics or news about the heir apparent to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus.
It is also not surprising to have such hype around a single phone, when it happens to be a Nexus device. And now, it looks like the upcoming LG Nexus 4 has gotten tired of showing its face time and again, and has decided to surprise us by showing us its back and a bit of what lies beneath.
The general consensus across the board is that the new LG Nexus 4 would have a non-removable back panel and an embedded battery. But like most non-removable backs, this one has also been unable to withstand the attention of inquisitive sources, who are happy to share the fruits of their curiosity, with trusted Android bloggers. Moral of the story – Nothing is non-removable.
As you can see from the pic above, almost two-thirds of the space at the back is taken up by the battery, which we all know by now is a 2100 mAh, and hence unlikely to be any smaller. Again the battery is also supposed to embedded, read : non-removable. The same moral as above, applies to this story as well
Most of the rest of the anatomy is hidden, except for the clearly visible gold contacts for the antennae, the holes for the rear speaker, and the 8 MP camera lens cap and the LED flash right beneath the lens cap.
Just above the battery, on the left hand side, you can see a part of the bluish-green coloured PCB (Printed Circuit Board). This is the most important part of the phone, as this is where the powerful quad-core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor resides, along with the RAM, internal flash storage etc. Like on most microSIM devices, including the iPhone, the SIM card slot is reportedly housed on the right edge of the device, and is accessible via a microSIM tray.
Phew!! Now that we have seen all sides of the LG Nexus 4 story, all that remains is for Google to launch it, and we suspect that October 29th could be that day, when the playground is going to be open.
