I have a Nexus 4, you have questions. Fire away.

I'm sold if you tell me this thing supports polyphonic ringtones. Or are you going to make me wait for the review for the answer to that, too? Probably. Ass.

Does the native video player was updated? If yes, can it play formats such as H/X264, XviD and MKS-encapsuled videos natively?

I'm confused about the battery life.

The press release says 15 hours of talk time, but Google told the verge up to 10 hours. Which is right?

How do you like the on screen navigation buttons? The GS3 has 4.8 with all of it being used for apps, the N4 has 4.7 with (I'm guessing) .2 being used for the nav, does this affect the experience? Does it make the screen size smaller with a strange aspect ratio?

Thanks in advance!

So you'd feel comfortable leaving this device naked, or would you put it in a case?

My Nexus S survived at least 10 drops with no case which is not even gorilla glass.

I would go without the case but if you want to protect any internal damage use case.

Its the paranormic shot??? there is a 360 picture, normal shot and the paranormic widescreen shot.

No, I am really talking about a native widescreen mode, aside from those em stills from movie mode. OEMs phones usualy enable it.

Apparently I'm allowed to talk about this a little. So fire away.

Do the chrome accents show or get scratches easily?
Will the chrome accents flake off like my beloved thunderbolt does?
How does the outer edges of N4 that surround the device feel?
Is there any soft touch coating on the edges?
How is the weight of he N4 and does the N4's weight feel balanced in your hands?

Ugh... the screenshot includes the buttons. I'm not sure I like where Android is headed with this new navigation setup. I wonder how other manufacturers will follow suit with this design language.

This is kind of a silly thing to quabble about now considering this isn't new...it's been this way for a year now (since the Galaxy Nexus came out)

 

[pokingmon]

its been asked and answered a few times, not to mention straight from matias duarte's mouth.... its a sony 8mp BSI sensor.

That wasn't the question. The question was if it was the same sensor that's in the Optimus G.

 

[jeandyangrand]

would you say it's faster than the Galaxy S3? also Which would you recommend to someone coming from the LG G2X?

you mentioned the feel and build, but does it feel premium? Like the iPhone?

But all those phones are doing is cropping hundreds of pixels. Before even saving the image.

You can now take screenshots unrooted/without Cyanogenmod?

Woah! This screen shot. I likes it. Landscape ... buttons to the side, rotated ... beautiful. Thanks, amigo!

Moving questions here, I added them after Phil and the thread had already moved on.

Hey, I do have a questions, hopefully not answered already:

1. How's the small fonts look on that high res screen? Open Chrome, go to androidcentral.com (our favorite site), click "Full version" at the bottom. Take a look at the banner (Forums News Reviews...), the Downloads line below. Crisp, clear, readable?

2. I thought I heard that 4.2 would have power management as the focus (maybe that was 4.3). Any changes to the Settings | Battery, or data management over 4.1? Of course, it will take time to see any effective changes, that's a given.

You could with AOSP ICS IIRC.
