The Nexus 4 is gone, but its death will probably be avenged by the Nexus 5 Sep 17th 2013, 14:36 The Nexus 4 is dead. Last week, Google Play sold out of the 8GB version of the LG-produced phone, and Google said it had no plans to bring more to market. Yesterday, the 16GB version became unavailable, and according to unnamed sources reported by The Verge and AllThingsD, Google has no plans to restock the device in any storage size. The prices of both versions of the unlocked, unsubsidized phones were recently slashed to $200 and $250 respectively, a $100 reduction from their normal prices. Google's recent round of price chopping may have been a way to clean out inventory and signal the impending debut of the next-generation Nexus 5. Just in time for the holiday season! While LG has publically said it has no plans to build the Nexus 5, there is some evidence to the contrary. The FCC recently approved a new LG phone that looks very similar to the Nexus 4 and which will—like the Nexus 4—run on an unmodified, stock version of Android.
