Different Phones, Different Systems: Nexus 4 vs ATIV S, iPhone 5, and HTC Droid DNA

If the first day sale of Nexus 4 were an indicator, it would be a Merry Christmas for Google since reports said that within hours, consumers snapped up units in Australia, United Kingdom and several other nations after the stores opened.

As a result of the fast sales, the Google Play site suffered because interested buyers who could no longer find available units were advised to order their Nexus 4 online.

Android fans who were able to purchase the Nexus 4 can also order the new Nexus smartphone via Google Play. The much awaited release of the newest line of Nexus 4 is expected to boost Google's sales in the coming months.

The Nexus 4 16GB costs $399 and has a delivery charge of $19.99, while the Nexus 4 8GB costs $349 with delivery charge as well.

The release of the Google Nexus 4 is good timing for other competitors that are releasing new devices running different OS like the HTC Droid DNA and Samsung ATIV S. According to the Google Web site, it has the latest hardware and software technology for all the needs of users.
