Google has dropped the price of its flagship smartphone, the
Nexus 4.
The 8GB variant is now available for $199 (Rs. 13,400 approx.) and the
16GB variant is available for $249 (Rs. 16,800 approx.). There is no
specific reason for the drop in price of the smartphone but we speculate
that this is because Google will unveil the
next Nexus soon, as early as October 2013. The new price is for a contract free brand new Nexus 4.
The drop in price of the Nexus 4 has happened in a bunch of markets
including Australia, Canada, Germany, Spain, Korea, and the UK. There is
no information whether the smartphone will see a price drop in India
but if it does happen, a lot of local smartphone makers will be in for
some stiff competition. In India, the Nexus 4 is currently available for
Rs. 25,990
Google

The Nexus 4 has very good hardware under the hood and there are
competing device that showcase a better camera and display but the
advantage of owning a Nexus devices is that you will be the first person
to receive all the latest Android updates and the vanilla Android UI is
still the best UI to work on.
