Nexus 4 gets subtle design tweaks, nubbin to write home about

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" itemprop="text" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Nexus 4 gets mystery design tweaks, still no LTE" data-src-height="300" data-src-width="590" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/03/nexus4updatednubbin.jpg" /></div>If the one thing you wanted from your Nexus 4 was LTE (we mean proper support), then still no joy. That said, some recent modifications suggest that LG and Google are still working to improve it in other -- albeit utilitarian -- ways. Spotted by German site <em>MobiFlip</em>, was the addition of a small protuberance at the base of the rear, and a difference in the aperture of the camera hole. It's suggested that the former might exist to help project sound from the rear speakers while the phone rests on a table, or to prevent that smooth, glass back from scratches. The camera tweak, however seems less clear, and possibly less functional in its existence. So, if you have one of the newer designs, let us know when and where you got it. If you don't, then just think of yours as a limited edition.<br /> </div></div>

Nexus 4 Wireless Charger hands-on

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="copy post-body" dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <div class="image-container" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Nexus 4 Wireless Charger handson" data-src-height="465" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesschargerlead01.jpg" /></div>Palm's Touchstone dock immediately came to mind when we first saw LG's Nexus 4 Wireless Charger last fall (now available for $60 in the Play Store). Both devices are circular, with a micro-USB port in back and a slanted front surface on which to rest the phone. That's where the similarities end -- while the Touchstone is cylindrical and uses a proprietary wireless charging system, the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger is larger, spherical and Qi-compatible. Another major difference is that Palm's dock uses magnets to line up and secure the handset, and LG's accessory relies solely on the friction between a rubber ring and the glass back of Google's flagship phone. Design-wise the Nexus 4 Wireless Charger looks similar to a smaller Nexus Q cut in half, down to the matching recessed square connector cutout.<br /><div class="post-gallery"><h3 class="title"><strong>Nexus 4 Wireless Charger hands-on</strong></h3><ol style="text-align: left;"><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger01_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li></ol><ul class="thumbs"><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger02_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger03_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger05_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger04_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li><li class="thumb" data-count="18"> <img height="400" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/nexus4wirelesscharger07_95x95.jpg" width="400" /> </li>See all photos</ul></div>In the box you'll find a 5V 1.8A AC adapter (vs. 1.2A for the one supplied with the Nexus 4) along with a micro-USB cable (longer than the one provided with the handset). The manual warns to "use only the power adapter and micro-USB cable that come with your Nexus 4 Wireless Charger", but we didn't have any trouble with other USB power sources beyond longer charging times. We tested the dock with the Nexus 4, Droid DNA, Lumia 920 and Lumia 822 (with the optional Wireless Charging Cover) -- basically, LG's accessory provides the same experience as Nokia's Wireless Charging Plate ($50), which is also Qi-compatible. The $10 difference buys you a matching design and a spare USB power adapter and micro-USB cable (Nokia's plate comes with a proprietary AC adapter). It takes about 4 hours to fully charge Google's flagship phone using wireless power -- check out the gallery above for some action shots.<br /> </div></div>
