Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 (2012) Will Also Get Android Lollipop

At its initial announcement, Google neglected to detail the software fate of two of its aging devices—the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 (2012).

The Nexus 4 Is Completely Sold Out and Supposedly Never Coming Back

After a wonderful price cut last month, Google has now completely sold out of both the 8GB Nexus 4 and the 16GB Nexus 4 on Google Play. Impressive! https://gizmodo.com/you-can-buy-a-nexus-4-8gb-for-200-and-a-16gb-for-250-1211597361 And also a little bit sad because The Verge is reporting that Google has “no plans” to bring the Nexus 4 “back in stock in any…

You can buy a Nexus 4 8GB for $200 and a 16GB for $250 now. That’s $100 cheaper than before and a sweet deal considering no additional contract but it’s probably worth mentioning the Nexus 4 is 9 months old now.

The Nexus 4 Does Have LTE, It’s Just Not Switched On (Updated)

Following that iFixit teardown of the Nexus 4, it looks like LG and Google did kit out their new flagship with LTE after all—at least, there’s a Qualcomm multi-band LTE chip in there—it’s just not active.
