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

[a2Squard]

Does it come with headphones?

Most phones ship with headphones. The Nexu?s[SUP]4[/SUP]? shouldn't be different

 

[pgjensen]

Does Square work with it via the headphone jack? I know it will NOT work with the previous Nexus 7 (new one I don't know).
What about a mic via the headphone jack? I believe they're directly related.

 

[grunneg]

will it take my old iPhone 4 and work on ATT like my gNex does when I can't get tMo?

 

[Phil Nickinson]

How is the speaker placement? Does holding the phone in your left hand lessen the volume noticeably compared to holding it in your right hand?

Other than bouncing off my hand in a different spot, no.

Hi Phil,
How much int memory is left after the OS ??? Do you have the 8 or 16gb model??
Thanks Phill

Even though this has wireless charging, I assume you can still charge via the usb port too?

Yep.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Can a panda ask a question? When is Android central giving one away? Lmao.

Only giving away one? That's all you think of us? lol. Real soon.

I also wanted to ask your opinion about the screen vs the HTC onex on paper its supposed to be better but I swear side by side then HTC looks better..

It's real close. Might give the edge to SLCD2, but only slightly. Want to ponder that more.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Does it come with headphones?

Mine didn't. (And I'm OK with that.)

 

[cozbaldwin]

Phil, am I going to like it?

Follow-up question: How much will or won't I like it?

You didn't answer if it works with the Palm Touchstone since supposedly Touchstone uses Qi and that is how wireless charging has been implemented.

 

[Phil Nickinson]

As someone who gets their hands on a lot of devices, do you see the Nexus 4 being your daily driver, Phil?

One of 'em, yeah. (I try to rotate, and I want to give Windows Phone 8 a serious look as soon as I can.)

Got one on the way.

wouldn't this be depend more on the network than the phone?

I think it's a nice combo of both. The phone has to handle those speeds.

Mainly on black background with white text.. looks like the laminating affects it.

And I know you guys should be good for at least a gaggle of Google nexi ..

And no headphones in mine either and wouldn't expect retail to have any..

 

[Phil Nickinson]

Great questions, everyone. I'm trying to get to as many as I can, without wandering into places that are best left for the review, which is still to come.

Keep 'em coming. I'll be back in a couple hours. Must write more.

Phil, Do you know if the Snapdragon S4 Pro is the dual-core or quad-core?

it is quad core. S4 pro is quad core according to Qualcomm

How is the speakerphone and earpiece volume? One of my biggest complaints of the Galaxy Nexus is that the speakerphone is not loud enough. Also the earpiece can be hard to hear in a crowd.

Also, I've noticed over time that sometimes the Galaxy Nexus misses touches towards the bottom of the screen (have to use full finger pad). I think this was intended to make sure that you are intentionally touching the virtual buttons. Have you noticed this behavior on the Nexus 4?

Thanks.

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

Why did i make the stupid mistake of getting into a VZW contract until Dec 2013?

Oh and Nexus 4 VS Galaxy nexus.... Screen better than gnex? And at low brightness levels? How much faster do things feel compared to a galaxy nexus?(general OS snappiness, app lauch speed, google now)

 

[S_C_B]

piggyback off this...Is the speaker loud? The Gnex was SO quiet.

I agree! It is too darn quiet.
