The eye-catching white Nexus 4

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?

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.

Going splitsies

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

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.

Bumper to bumper

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