Good: Lightening fast, superb screen and cheap as chips.
Bad: Nothing so far.
Comment: Amazing bit of kit. I can't believe how fast this phone is. Apps load in an instant and web browsing is a delight. It really comes into its own though when gaming or watching video / live TV. It just doesn't slow down and the screen resolution is superb. The navigation app loads faster than my sat nav! It's a no brainer at this price. Just buy one. You won't regret it.

Good: Easily update software. Great camera. Lush screen. Enough memory for most. Quick internet.
Bad: Glass back... Very fragile, mine cracked within 24hrs of owning the phone and it was never dropped, just placed on a hard surface... Be warned, get a quality case!
Comment: An amazing phone only let down by the glass cover on the back of the handset.

Good: Spec vs Prive
Bad: Has to be the Battery cannot be removed. It will be awefull after owning it for 18 months.
Comment: Good phone at a great price and spec. The 16bg should be fine for most people. This is a phone not a laptop remember!
My only gripe is the battery. After 18 months the battery is going to give half of what it will when new.

Good: Just about everything! Speed, screen, price, Android 4.2
Bad: Nothing really. Battery life is OK, not brilliant, Non-removable battery may be a pain in the future.
Comment: Fantastic smartphone!

Comment: My dad ordered the Nexus 4 on Sunday and it arrived on Wednesday, pretty good considering there was a 1-2 week wait!
Personally, I believe me and my family have the best phones out there. I have the HTC One X, my brother has the Samsung Galaxy S3 and my dad has the Nexus 4. My mum has the iPhone 4 which I don't think is great but she prefers the simplicity of iPhone and isn't keen on Android.
But seriously, I think the other three are all great phones and its fairly difficult to choose between them. I'd probably have the Nexus 4 if I had the choice after having a go on all three and I'm seriously thinking of doing so. However, I would really miss my One X. I love the design, and speed is good not to mention the great screen resolution. The Beats Audio is a big factor too as neither the S3 or Nexus 4 have it. However, my One X nor my brothers S3 can beat the amazing screen or speed of the Nexus 4 and its so cheap too! Having all the updates instantly is a huge plus because I often got really annoyed of waiting for JB with my One X. People also criticise the design, but I like it, it's sleek.
My brothers S3 is also a good phone though I can't decide if I prefer my One X. The Nexus beats the pair of them for me, but neither that or my One X can beat the incredible camera quality of the S3; its like a professional, expensive camera, it really is that good. The One X and Nexus 4 aren't bad, but shots look quite grainy in comparison to the stunning clarity of the S3. On every factor, this is my opinion.
Screen: Nexus 4, One X, S3
Speed: Nexus 4, S3, One X
Sound: One X, Nexus 4, S3
Design: Nexus 4, One X, S3
Camera: S3, One X, Nexus 4
Software: One X, S3, Nexus 4
Price: Nexus 4, One X, S3
Forget iPhone, these three are the best out there. I think I will swap my One X for Nexus 4 though, but I will miss it and the S3 is amazing too.
