The Google Nexus 4 launched last November, and there has been huge demand for the handset with it being very hard to get hold of on Google Play. As soon as more stock would appear online, it would sell out within a few hours. This high demand has made the Nexus 4 one of the most sought-after smartphones in recent times.
Neither Google nor LG have revealed how many Nexus 4 smartphones they have sold so far, but it would appear that they may have sold over 1 million of the handset since it launched last year. This impressive milestone highlights the popularity and success of the Nexus 4 in the competitive smartphone market.
The news comes from the XDA developers, who have said that Google has now sold over 1 million Nexus 4 devices. The message below shows that the 999,998th Nexus 4 smartphone was sold recently.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have just reached the millionth device!
(of course just judging by serial number, i.e. minus gaps)

Which means, IMEI prefix 35391805* is now officially complete and the next one will be started.
Features and Specifications
The Nexus 4 boasts a range of impressive features and specifications that have contributed to its popularity. It comes with a 4.7-inch True HD IPS Plus display with a resolution of 768 x 1280 pixels, providing vibrant and sharp visuals. The device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor clocked at 1.5 GHz, coupled with 2GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance and multitasking capabilities.
The smartphone also features an 8-megapixel rear camera capable of capturing high-quality photos and 1080p video recording, along with a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies. The Nexus 4 runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, offering a pure Android experience with timely updates directly from Google.
Challenges and Success
Despite its success, the Nexus 4 faced several challenges, particularly with supply chain issues. The high demand and limited supply led to frustration among potential buyers who found it difficult to purchase the device. This scarcity only fueled the desire for the Nexus 4, making it a hot commodity in the smartphone market.
The Nexus 4’s success can be attributed to its combination of high-end specifications, competitive pricing, and the appeal of the pure Android experience. It offered a flagship-level device at a more affordable price point compared to other high-end smartphones at the time, making it an attractive option for consumers.
Of course, this number has yet to be confirmed by LG or Google. We wonder if we will get some sort of official announcement from them shortly. An official confirmation would not only validate the claims but also provide a clearer picture of the Nexus 4’s impact on the market.
The Nexus 4’s journey from launch to reaching the millionth device sold is a testament to its appeal and the strong demand from consumers. As we await official confirmation from Google or LG, it is clear that the Nexus 4 has made a significant mark in the smartphone industry.
