because of the stickers....
How did you get it?
Hey does that last picture show the camera lens & flash in a protected section from the rest of the back? Any other pic always makes them look embedded (especially the camera lense)
Wow you have 26 tabs open on your first picture!
P.S. how is the battery life for ya?
I'm guessing it's one of the earlier production models, not the latest revision. All of the review models have been different.

I usually communicate more with texts than anything. Also a moderate (sometimes heavy) data user, and have 2-3 email accounts synced. I'm hoping this thing will last me from when I wake up till at least an hour two before bed. Wishful thinking?

I find the review pretty bad to be honest. He didn't double finger scroll down the notification bar, and he said you needed 1 more step vs the other LG model.
Since JB/ICS I never been able to long press homescreen to add widgets...
The display size on the Nexus 4 is 4.7 inches INCLUDING the menu buttons or EXCLUDING menu buttons?
Won't stop me from getting the phone despite the fact that i'm not too into the 3 menu screen button.
The buttons are on screen, so part of the 4.7.

Even Chris Pirillo fell for that 'lag' exercise/flicking the screen when showing the N4 versus iPhone...I'm like..HELLO! WHO the f uses their phone that way!?! No one. Period. It's a stupid exercise that proves nothing. Compare the units in NORMAL navigation, and you MIGHT detect smoother operation, but I detect it as SLOWER operation.

Great innovation: dimming screen to a lower brightness.
Did it really take sooooo much? REALLY?! AMOLED screens are used since the S2, and in those screens pixels are dimmed to zero brightness independently from each other in order to achieve black.
Being able to use the LTE and wifi at the same time for double the data speed? Oh hell yes. That might sell it for me right there.
I'm sure i can check my heartbeat on my nexus5 using the flash and camera, it's nothing new.
Overall, not impressive enough to warrant an upgrade..i'll wait for the note4 or new nexus

Any word on the battery life yet?
If you have the time, could you please run it down from 100 to 0 on a single charge and post the screen on time?
That would be really awesome.
I don't mind the performance gap between the Exynos and the Snapdragon, but if the Exynos provides significantly better battery life, I might import one of these models.

here are the shots you asked.
i have not used the device much, it was mostly sitting next to me. strangest thing it went overnight down from 54% to 25%, i have a feeling that'a a *lot* for a standby.
will charge now and see again.
@hempy
sort of.
i was not looking for accessories, just the cover. and these were there, 5 or 6 colours if i remember correctly. white, dark grey, pink, bronze and cherry. so 5.

Received today my unit.
First impression is great, phone is really fast, no lag at the moment.
I have compared the screen with Note 3 and white looks whiter than on Note 3. On Note 3 has yellow pigment.

At the moment I am discovering new functions and all.

Does the phone have build quality issues like being able to fit a business card between the screen edge and the body?
I looked at one at Best Buy today and there were no spaces between the glass and the edge. I think someone just got a messed up unit.

I can post pictures if you want.
Try to squeeze it and see if it laggs . Make that multi task burn! LOL
Try to use like 7 apps at the same time.
Also does the gallery app have a delay openning? And the phone dialer when you tap on contacts in my s3 it needs 3 seconds to show the contacts...is it the same for n4?

Running like 8-9 apps, tried switching between them and it is fast. No lag at the moment.
About the gallery. It opens it instantly but it takes few seconds to liad the photos. Until then it is white screen with blue bar on top
Phone dialer has no lag, it opens instantly and it is ready to use the same second. Same goes for contacts, no lag.
Battery life, to soon to judge but on this charge it took 12% to get 47 minutes screen on. It was moderate usage.
I must say, samsung keyboard is bad. Screen is big but typing is not so good. Will change keyboard for Android L.
Ram usage is 1.5 gb in normal.
And I have disabled few apps like facebook, instagram, ets.
And device is dying for DPI change.

There's no mention of UV sensor, oxygen sensor or even the heart rate sensor... the "device layout" goes flash, but doesn't mention the sensor right next to the flash... do those sensors work on your device??? There was speculation that Samsung would have problems getting the Note 4 to pass through certification if it's a medical device (those heart and oxygen sensors).
