Google Nexus 4 vs. Samsung Galaxy S III: Fan favorites - read the full textAndroid devices come from all walks of life, but in each generation there is a "chosen one". In 2012, it's the Nexus 4 and, as an overall package, this is probably the best Google has ever delivered. Yet, by a mean twist of fate, it has the most formidable...

Nexus 4 is not available everywhere,
thus it fails on the spot.

Just like to say that I was close in getting the N4, but now i'm glad I didn't. Limited everything (availably, storage, etc.) Got a note 2, and love it. Sammy does a good job giving a finish product that is polished for end users. You can be mediocre and run it stock which and everything just works, or you can run a customized rom on it. That's what I love about it!! Don't get me wrong i love the nexus line up. The first N1 was awesome, and I will just ship for the "xphone" being its the true first google phone.

Unless price is an issue, I think a Note 2 could be more useful for you.

Since when is no sd card, 16gb internal, non removable battery, no true 4g lte ok now that android does it? If the nexus 4 was an apple product it would've been crucified but it's being defended simply because it's android. Plus the sub $400 price is only good if your country gets google play store. Outside of the playstore it's $600. No bang for your buck. The only redeeming feature was guaranteed android updates but that is not true as some nexus wont get the latest. The nexus 4 is a lemon. Xiaomi mi2 gets everything the nexus 4 doesnt except lte.
