after like 2 weeks of using this phone, my feedback is as followed:

pros
+ nice design
+ nice display
+ overall the phone is fast, (not all the time, but at 98%, so i put it here)

cons
- less than moderate battery life
- sometimes touch screen is not that responsive, especially when slide to answer calls
- phone tends to get laggy sometimes
- camera sphere while it is cool, but it's not that practical
- camera quality is below s3 / note2 / iphone 5 quality

I sold my note2 when I received my nexus 4, and planned to use nexus 4 as my main device and iPhone 5 for my company's number.. guess what? I miss the note2 even more.

it's hard to recommend this over top samsung devices right now.. unless u really hate samsung, or their touchwiz. customs roms are more than enough and plenty for s3 and note2. the only advantage is nexus might get later android update earlier than other phone. but then that means we are talking about future, which for me is useless for phone enthusiast. anyway who can confirms he will stick for this nexus 4 for another 6 months? when all the full hd, lte device come out?

Nice review, great to see some honest opinions about touch responsiveness as well. Interesting that phone tends to get laggy over time, it does have 2gb of ram right?

The laggy touchscreen based on earlier web reviews is always there due to the LCD construction n nothing to do with software

yups. the same thing happens on iPhone 5.

in terms of lagginess that i mentioned above, it normally relates to 3rd party apps. that app does not responding, but the phone itself is okay. i can press home button and do other thing like swiping or open menu screen. i have the same apps on my note2 but never experience such issue.
perhaps it's just incompatibility issue between that apps and android 4.2.1?

although the lcd construction is like iphone5, and most reviews said the irresponsive touch screen happens on both, I must stress it's much more serious on nexus 4.

and I'm not and never an iPhone die hard fan.

Assuming that's 2kg, i mean 3 units, should be less than that.
Have not used them before, anyone who brought in mind telling us how much is the forwarding costs?
No, I use maybank visa. Changed the billing address to US based.
Seriously that bad?

it's bad considering when someone important call, you slide to answer, but the slide does not move until 2-3 times you slide your screen.. it's like try to slide the screen when your hand is wet / screen is wet.

but overall it's not that serious. if i fail to answer the call, i can just call them back tongue.gif

Cool!

By the way if you have to choose only one device, which one will you choose. Nexus 4 or droid dna?

DNA. 1080p screen and design stylings.

Also, the DNA is lighter than the Nexus 4. Doomsday was surprised himself when he picked my DNA up. biggrin.gif

ahh.. so tempted to order the droid dna from ebay..
