According to early pre-release reviews of the forthcoming Google Nexus 4 handset, which is scheduled to hit the markets on November 13, the device is apparently a remarkable reflection of Google's best efforts thus far in representing its Android OS technology, and in showing how good the Android users experience can be.

Marking Google's most aggressive effort till now to topple the US smartphone market, the Nexus 4 handset, manufactured by LG, appears to be a notably attractive device for two main reasons: its price point and its sales model.

The cost of an unlocked and contract-free Nexus 4 handset directly from Google will be a rather fetching $299 for an 8GB model, and $349 for a 16GB version of the phone.

While purchasing the Nexus 4 directly from Google will give the customers the advantage of wholly owning the handset, without any obligation to any particular carrier, the device will also be offered via the traditional sales model
--- with T-Mobile to sell the phone for $200 after a $50 mail-in rebate and with a new two-year service agreement.

One of the most attractive features of the sleek, solid and substantial Nexus 4 is its stunning 4.7-inch True HD IPS screen with 1280 x 768 resolution and 320ppi. As per early reviews, the screen is among the best displays currently available on any handset; and it remains impressively viewable even in bright outdoor lighting.
