Google Unveils The Nexus 4
It's not hard to love Google at this particular moment in time. Behind some of the most consistently-fascinating software (Android, Google Maps, Google.com itself), the company's recent foray into hardware is a tantalising prospect. With Nexus 7 being joined by 10-inch iPad rival the Nexus 10, Google today also took to lifting the curtains on a brand-new smartphone, the Nexus 4.
Google Confirms The Rumours, Nexus 10 Announced
We knew Google had something special up its sleeve, but the specifics of what it had in store were vague at best. But in a smorgasbord of announcements coming direct from the company in the wake of the cancellation of the much-anticipated Android event, we finally have confirmation.

Now Carphone Warehouse Has Leaked Google’s Nexus 4 Phone

Now, Google has had another of its products otherwise held back for the Android event on Monday leaked by none other than UK retailer Carphone Warehouse.
Google Nexus 7 Review
Let's be honest, Android tablets have been a sort of sketchy affair. A mish-mash of hardware form factors and disappointing user experiences. But that is about to change.
"7-inch tablets are going to be dead on arrival," the late Steve Jobs proclaimed in October 2010. Google, myself and probably lots of others would beg to differ with the Nexus 7.
The next in the line of products that present the metaphorical middle finger to OEMs and their depreciation of the stock Android experience through needless clutter and skinning, the Nexus 7 redefines your pre-conceptions of what makes a budget tablet. This software and hardware love affair between Google and Asus has produced something with the real potential to kickstart the campaign for Android tablets as a whole.
