Hey guys,
Today I got to play with a mates Nexus 4 running Android Jellybean 4.2 and I have to say it's left me a bit underwhelmed!
Two things really stand out to me.
1) The new notification pull down. I like having the toggles at the top for wifi, bluetooth etc - they aren't there in 4.2. You have to open them from the notification bar.
2) When viewing running apps by holding down home button on 4.1 there is an option to clear all. This ain't there in 4.2 - you have to swipe each one away separately. Not major but an inconvenience all the same.
The other thing is the new camera controls. I don't like them. Maybe it's a personal thing and others will but I much prefer the controls on my S3 running 4.1
Other than that I quite liked the Nexus 4. Feels nice in the hand with quite a nice weight to it. It looks a lot better than I expected with glass front and back.
For £289 sim free for the 16gb version is a such a bargain I'm thinking of getting one for my work phone, if the ever come back in Stock at the Play Store!
