Performance
Powered by the Qualcomm APQ8064 Snapdragon S4 Pro chipset, the Nexus 4 included a quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait CPU and an Adreno 320 GPU. These specifications made it a powerhouse for its day, capable of running demanding applications and multitasking without significant lag. With 2GB of RAM, it competently handled the needs of Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, which was upgradable to Android 5.1 Lollipop, maintaining the allure of a mostly-stock Android experience.
