A couple of days ago Carphone Warehouse launched a pre-order page for the upcoming Nexus 4 along with the full specs. The page stayed live for several hours before they were even made aware of the situation. They later stated “Unfortunately a pre-order page for a new handset that we plan to range went live prematurely. We’ve now rectified this and apologise for any confusion caused.” Neither Google or LG provided a comment about the page.
The leak comes ahead of Google’s big event Monday, and it confirmed many rumors that have been floating around the internet for the past few weeks. The newest lineup in the Nexus family will boast a 4.7 inch LCD screen with an impressive 320 ppi, as well as a powerful quad-core Snapdragon processor and an 8 megapixel shooter. Speaking of that camera, the page listed bragged about a 360 degree panoramic shot. Again, not much we haven’t all heard before, but it’s reassuring that Google is willing to go all out on a very high-end device.
This isn’t the first time a device’s specs were leaked prematurely, and it certainly won’t be the last. And, hey, Google still has plenty of tricks left to pull out at its big event on Monday to surprise everyone. With the rumors of multiple Nexus devices and a Samsung tablet rumor gaining steam over the last few days, I’m sure we’ll still have plenty to be surprised by.
What are your thoughts on the specs? Is anyone disappointed in anything, like the move away from an AMOLED screen and lack of LTE? Let us know in the comments.
