Bugs

After the launch of Nexus 4, there are few bugs which users have found in their handsets.

1)   Ear Piece buzzing issue: Some users have reported that they are hearing some low-level output from the earpiece of the LG Nexus 4. These users have described this low-level output as approximating a faint buzz or a click usually heard coming from the handset’s earpiece or camera area while other users on the other hand are reporting distorted calls at high volumes.

In cases like this, we always hope that the problem is software-related so that it can easily be fixed by a simple software update. But if this turns out to be a shielding problem which is more concerned with the hardware side of the handset that deals with its electronics, there might be a chance that affected units could get recalled. Though a lot of LG Nexus 4 users have reported the issue, there is still a chance that the problem is limited to a particular production run and is not as widespread as we think it is.

      2)  One of the users have reported that the back glass can break because of sudden change in temperature which makes us feel that LG’s back made of glass is not such a great idea.

Conclusion:

Overall, LG Nexus 4 is a great phone with high tech specifications and at a very good price. According to us, even after these issues, the LG and Google’s offer is still a steal.
