The white LG Nexus 4 is a beaut (pictures)

Wild sightings, no more! Following official reports from LG that it plans on releasing a white variant of the wildly popular Nexus 4 in the next coming weeks, CNET got its hands on the stylish new version. What do you guys think of the new paint, fab or drab?

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

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

A view from the side shows how the white color only applies to the back of the Nexus 4.

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.

A closer look at the white bumper.

According to LG, the white Nexus will launch in Hong Kong on May 29, and it'll be available in parts of Asia, North America, Europe, and the Middle East afterward.
