Google teases potential Nexus 4 customers with new ad

“All I want for Christmas is the Nexus 4.” Too bad it’s perpetually sold out. Google blames LG for the shortages, yet that hasn’t stopped both companies from promoting the product with new ads. Check out this new Nexus 4 ad called “Holiday Photo Sphere” and let us know what you think.

Out of curiosity, how many of you have been trying to purchase the Nexus 4 but have been unable to get your order?

  Maybe releasing ads now will lead to huge demand again when the phone is back in stock.

  I LOVE the style of that second commericial, it reminds me a lot of that awesome Project Glass promo video that they put out awhile ago where he ends up on the rooftop!

  I agree. I don’t think the limited availability will hurt that bad. Non tech people will see it being sold out as a good thing and it should increase demand also.

    Agreed. I’m yet to come across a Nexus 4 here in Brazil but will try to snatch one to myself next month. This is really the best Android phone out there ATM. You are not only getting great specs, but also great hardware and a wonderful phone experience that only a Nexus can deliver!

    It seriously hurts Google’s bottom line though. All the added support costs of fielding stock queries, replying to delivery requests, refunding postage on those who aren’t getting their phones in the specified delivery timescale…
    
    And not just that, it doesn’t look good! They need to be taken seriously and to do that, they need to demonstrate they can provide stock. My parents are considering a Nexus 10 but are quite put off by the fact they can’t order one!

    Google+ handles them in sphere mode (just like using Street View) as well as regular-picture mode (like if you used a fisheye lens).
    I’m guessing facebook won’t support sphere mode at least until Instagram starts having them.
    Some examples:

  I def agree. Improving software features is the biggest perk I’m looking for in phones as they keep getting released. For me, the hardware has gotten to a point where the speed is fast enough, and now the functionality in the software is what is holding up the next wave of awesome!

  I still want the Nexus 4 very much but I do have to agree a bit that so far Google have been a bit disappointing with how they deal with the situations as of late. They are no starting to become more and more similar to those “evil” companies that we hear all of the time. It’s good that they’re becoming very successful but at the same time, they seem to be changing not in the best ways.
  
  Eitherway, my friend let me play with his Nexus 4 for quite a while and damn it’s awesome. It just feels great in your hands.

  i just received my nex4 yesterday and as disappointed as i was before getting the device, i am not sure there are many phones out there that can beat this in terms of the bang for buck it provides.
  
  even if u aren’t an android fan (which you presumably are), the long term personal benefit (unlocked, unshackled cost savings, superior pure android experience, surprisingly premium feel) of having this phone probably far outweighs the emotional distress you quite rightly feel.

    Sure Google’s site has been crashing and what not but that is from crazy demand, LG is having issues building and gathering resources.

Google makes great ads!

After Apple upped the panorama feature from ICS with their larger picture resolution, Google stepped it up again with PhotoSphere. If the technology improves further, I see this being a deciding advantage for all Android phones.

About the Nexus 4, luckily I got mine a few days ago.

I like the approach of both videos since they are about functionality of the phone (or android in general). Though I can relate to the first one more since I’m more likely to be taking family photos than beaming movies to my TV or travelling the world.

I haven’t run into any purchase issues since I haven’t tried yet. I’m waiting until after Christmas when all the gift giving is done and hopefully there is more stock. I’d really like to get my hands on a demo device in a T-Mobile store.

Oh, by the way. If you’re stuck with an older Android phone while waiting for your N4, you can root and get the cool new camera and apps. I’ve got the camera from 4.2 with photosphere and all running fine on my GS2 Skyrocket. It helps take the sting out of waiting so long.

I have NOT had great luck with the Photo Sphere feature, since in most indoor settings (office and home) as I turn about, the amount of back light changes which leads to differently exposed tiles to a point that the same wall color can appear anywhere from dark brown to beige. This then prevents the stitching process from creating a smooth transition between the tiles.

  The thing is you cannot just fast up the production. Google made an error in judgement of how popular the phone will be (excellent specs and excellent prices) and as a result, the amount of phones that are prepared are much less than the demand. Instead of admitting that they were wrong and how they could have fixed the problem, they’re just blaming it on LG.
  
  If I remembered correctly, didn’t a similar situation happened last year with the Galaxy Nexus? If it is, seems like Google still haven’t learned from that mistake.

I think there is too much buzz about potential Quad-core(4plus1-type) phones coming out in the new year. I’m gonna take the Nexus 4 being sold out as a sign to wait. Patience is a virtue, or at least that’s what my Great Aunt Isabel always tried to instill in me. I have to say it has only taken 30+ years to finally begin to stick to me, and I don’t think she was referring to cell phone purchases. Or was she……

  Hmmm. I wonder who gave the -1. Have you tried using the sphere indoors? I did and the corners are usually broken. Sometimes the pictures on the walls are cut in half too. It’s a great idea and it works great under certain conditions. Not so much in others. Maybe it would be better if it kept the single images and let us mark matching points for stitching.

Google probably is greatly underestimating the demand. It doesn’t matter if it is LG’s fault for not keeping up, they should have learned that nexus products sells like the end of the world is coming. Google needs to know that LG and Asus are going to come out with phones of their own to sell to compete against Nexus line (get all of the profits instead of Google getting a share).

All I wanted on November 13th was a Nexus 4. After the ordeal LG and Google put me through, all I want now is a HTC M7.
I’ll never, ever buy a phone from LG again. And after experiencing serious stability (at least one random reboot a day) and speed (project butter has turned into project molasses) problems with 4.2 on both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, I’m reevaluating the idea of buying Nexus devices altogether.

Great feature showcasing. I like the ads. Now, they just need to get the Nexus 4 in stock and then everyone will be happy. I think it would be a smashing success for the holidays if it was in stock. LG and Google need to work on keeping their supply of Nexus 4s from running out when it comes back in stock.

I guess this should be an eye opener for Google, for next time when they release the Nexus by making sure to have it locked down in terms of supply and have pre-orders and everything else to run smoothly.

In Australia it sold out in 22 minutes on 13 NOV and hasn’t been seen again. Like many others I had one in my basket and it just up and disappeared. I’ve been “checking back soon” just like the play store has been telling me to do for the past month and a bit. Its very annoying to see adverts being made for a phone that its not possible to buy.

Just a thought, but it’s probably not a great idea for Google to release a commercial for a product that won’t ship to any potential new customers for at least 4 weeks due to a shortage. Maybe they won’t show it much until it’s back in stock. I’m waiting to order mine until it’s back in stock.

i was able to get my order in im just not satisfied with the shipping dates. some might argue that at least i got my order in and that sll i have to do is wait. 6-7 weeks is a long wait for something that should have been in stock from the start. LG needs to make these devices faster and i mean fast. these long waits for devices is crazy. Google i hope have something in store for there customers who have been waiting forever for there devices. i dont know whats going on with the production of this product LG needs to fix the problem asap and google needs to force the hand becuz the customers are getting beyond angrywith the lack of communication and lack of actual product. what a real disaster. next device i dont know google u have to step it up to much mistakes being made and next year is a few days away. by the time these devices get in the hands of the waiting paying customers the next device will be out already.

  … and a phantom shadow, too. The wormhole effect (black circles at picture foci) was funny.
  
  Seriously, though, this is cool to be able to do a 360 picture like people really see things. Next, 3D panoramic shots?

They keep talking about how great and amazing this display is for outdoor use, but when I use it outside all I can see is a bunch of dots arranged in a grid. Anyone else experience this?

It seems like the buzz for the previous nexus was crazy, and this one is barely a mention. ICS was a much bigger release and much more anticipated.

Its probably very pathetic. As at least with me it only emphasizes the epic failure that is the N4.
It doesn’t matter if the device is good, as long as its constantly sold-out.
Google failed. Off with their … cells.

The car dock in the second video at 0:34 looks a lot like the wireless Nexus charger. Looks like an official accessory. I’m guessing it is also a wireless Qi charger?
