LG’s Google Nexus 4 smartphone available through Harvey Norman

LG’s popular Nexus 4 smartphone will finally be available for outright purchase for $496 or on an Optus plan through Harvey Norman stores on February 1.

The device, a collaboration between LG and Google, was actually launched back in November a combination of high demand and low stock levels made them very scarce in Australia.

The Nexus 4 has a 4.7-inch screen, a quad core 1.5Ghz processor and is running the Android 4.2 Jelly Bean operating system.

The version available through Harvey Norman will have 16GB of internal memory along with an 8-megapixel camera and NFC (near field communication).

Nexus 4 is a 3G device and will work on any network for anyone interested in buying the device outright but it will also be sold through Harvey Norman on a range of Optus plans.

“The Nexus 4 is a great example of how LG’s state of the art hardware is innovating in the smartphone market with Google choosing to be its latest hardware partner,” said Lambro Skropidis, General Marketing Manager at LG Australia.

“The response in Australia has been overwhelmingly positive and we know our Harvey Norman partnership will create even greater demand.”

The Nexus 4 will be available through Harvey Norman from February 1 for $496 outright or on an Optus plan.
