I remember that, it was denounced as a load of crap by someone who knew what they were talking about.
lol
Basically sounds like the next gadget in the next MI movie, drop it once and if the back doesnt explode, the internals willHere is the article, will explain everything far better than what I would

.The main concern is that as theyve obviously/significantly built these to cost, but people still seemingly have lapped them up, any reason for Google not to just keep the same standards to ensure the price point is low enough not to be ignored?
Its a fine line in my eyes...

They're basically rebranded Optimus G's, I would be amazed if they had been built any differently to them.
In fact it would probably be cheaper to nab the parts for the OG's production line that it would be to design and manufacture the phones to this supposed cheaper standard.

Oh yeah the guy got everything he said about the N4 from pictures too.
Maybe if he took the device apart himself i'd take the review a little more seriously. Either way how many of you here would actually take the damn thing apart? I don't see any reason to take it apart myself.

My old Xperia Arc has a screen resolution of 480x854, but most wallpapers are 960x854 which spans 2 screens nicely and upto the 5 native SeUI screens with overlaps. I usually make my wallpapers from larger Desktop wallpapers etc by cutting them down to the correct proportions and resizing to 960x854.
The Screen on the Nexus 4 it's self is 786x1280, I'm not sure what size of wallpapers are but I assume (like with my Arc) it's twice as wide as it's single screen Resolution... so 1536x1280.
Although I believe the bundled Nexus Wallpapers installed on the phone are 1436x1196 which is a weird resolution!
Hopefully someone with a N4 will come along and either correct me, or confirm!
I enjoyed the top reply, definitely sounds like an incomplete conclusion
Oh no its tape!

nothing wrong with tape lol?! it just holds the wires in place so they don't get damaged.. bs the whole thing
quality of n4 feels great as far as i could tell - had a play in cpw

I wouldn't really use that article if you are wanting it to support your argument.
What a load of uninformed rubbish.

The thing is, these guys who write articles for stuff like this on XDA (only the biggest android site there is where you get all your developers for apps, ROMs etc.........) will know far more about this than what any of us here do, so we can't make any judgements on it (unless you are Sarge ), they are the ones who get all the latest phones to play with, follow all the tech. stuff, attend the shows for the new phones, therefore their opinions will be more "important" than what we think and hold a lot more value over ours.
Oh and btw have a look at his profile, youtube page etc. he looks like he knows his stuff going by his work projects etc.:

I doubt he will write an article ****ging the nexus 4 of just for the sake of it, given all the developers etc. love the phone, if he mentioned those issues, then there will be a reason for it. If this article had been posted on some crappy site by someone who doesn't know their tech. or/and an apple fanboy site then yes, it would raise suspicion as to being a load of crap.
Google/LG have used top end components for this phone and are charging very little for it, so they will have had to compromise other parts of the phone. And this is LG we are talking about here..........
Also when you watch videos for the replacement of screens for the likes of the one X, one S, galaxy S3 etc. the insides do look a lot better than what that pic of the nexus 4 is (iirc there were a lot more photos of other parts too, they only showed the one their for presentation), I am not an expert in this and know very little as to all the little things, but with these guys who know their stuff, they will know just by looking at pics of the inside and he did state that Samsung with their handsets have used the proper methods, again I will trust Adam more than what some guy called "Phil" says, has Phil posted any hard evidence to back up his claims as to all phones being the same with regards to how they are put together?
Regarding the first comment, yes he does raise some good points but who is this guy? For all we know he could just be some nexus 4 owner that is brushing these supposed issues under the carpet like it really isn't a problem and trying to justify his purchase. Unfortunately, people don't like bad things being said about stuff they own so they will always try to work their way out/around something or side with some guy who has posted a well written article. Unless this guy is some electrician, fixes/makes phones for a living then I will side with the one who is more experienced in this area and that is Adam.
Also I am not using that article to support my argument..... someone brought up about the phone being built cheaply by getting parts from cheaper place, I corrected that by saying it is nothing to do with that and someone asked how will this affect the phone in the long run etc. rather than myself explaining it, I linked the article so that he could read through it himself.

There is more than just one photo, that was the main photo that caught his attention:
And again, have you seen this guys work projects, youtube videos etc. and what his job is?

And due to his work/hobby, the following would apply:
EDIT:
Yes I do agree though, it would have been better if he had the done the break down himself and had a video on it, like he did with the galaxy nexus:

Yes, I understand what he might have an opinion based on taking things apart, but the point still stands that he hadn't been anywhere near one.
There was more than one picture of the phone, however only one of them showed the "internals", hence my comment.
Even you're doing it now: "one X, one S, galaxy S3 etc. the insides do look a lot better than what that pic of the nexus 4 is"
Really? Guides showing complete disassemblies show better quality than a phone that just has it's back cover removed? All I see is a huge black plastic shield covering everything so that it's not possible to discern the quality
If you want a better idea of the quality of the thing, this would be a good read: http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Nexus+4+Teardown/11781/1

As I said before, I am no expert in this sort of thing, only know the basics like the motherboard, CPU chipset and battery connector stuff, Adam is the one that knows this sort of stuff, that guide looks good (but the guy didn't offer any info. as to how good the internal build quality is, only how easy it is to repair the phone etc.), someone should send it to Adam and get him to repost his thoughts on the internal build quality
