After three weeks, I've summed it up to this:
Amazing hardware. Seriously amazing. This could arguably be the best looking Android phone made. Not only that, but it feels so good in your hands. That alone could be a reason to buy this, as it seems many Android devices have sub-par hardware. I will say though...This phone has some serious GPS issues, but that could just be because my phone was from the first batch.
Battery = Awful. Just terrible. Again, this may be an issue with my phone, but the other day, I was at 20% charge, and after a few pictures, it died. It amazed me. Even my old GSII didn't do that. It's charging is also very inconsistent. After it died, I put it in the charger, turned it on, and in 5 minutes it said it was around 35% charge. Seriously, I don't know if this is a serious software/hardware issue, or if something's wrong with my phone, but it's annoying.
Software - Buggy. Yes, Google. Android 4.2 is really buggy. Why is it taking so long to come out with timely updates? 4.2 has great upgrades over 4.1, but why are the bugs so persistent?
Overall - Amazing phone, but Google, you have to fix the battery and bugs. This is an amazing phone ruined by small issues. This phone amazes me one second, and annoys me the next. If it becomes more consistent, this is easily the best phone in the market.
But would you be willing to pay double for less bugs and just a little bit of more battery life?
No? Okay then I guess Nexus 4 is the best phone for its price.
