A fresh white coat
Like the black version, the white model will still have a tile design on the back that becomes very apparent in the sunlight.

Still the black bezel
Unfortunately, the white only appears on the back. The phone's bezel remains a stark black.

No changes with the specs
Other than the color, everything else remains the same. It will still run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and will have a 4.7-inch screen and an 8-megapixel camera.

Google will also sell a white bumper for the Nexus 4, which fits all around the edges of the handset.
