screen size
4.7"
4.7"
Nexus 4 by FalseShaddow (Nov, 2012)* the SCREEN: The screen is beautiful, I love the size it's pretty big running at 4.7'' as you probably already know.
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)While it's still not as good as a hardware one, it's the next best thing - the 4.7" screen has enough real estate for big, well-spaced keys, which are easy to hit.
screen resolution
Nexus 4 by diomedes (Mar, 2013)thats is a disapointment, but is really beautifull, fast, good screen resolution and cheap!
One X by GSM Arena (Apr, 2012)Not only is it remarkably sharp (at about 312 ppi, it's virtually impossible to distinguish individual pixels), but also has great contrast and nicely saturated colors.
memory
| 0 GB | 2 GB | 2 GB |
processor
Nexus 4 by FalseShaddow (Nov, 2012)* x4 1.5 Gz Snapdragon: I love going around saying I have a phone with a quad core processor.
One X by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)The HD screen is the best we've ever seen, its quad core processor is mighty fast, its camera mostly impressive and its design is reasonably smart.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 8 MP | 8 MP |
Nexus 4 by c|net (Nov, 2012)Above the display in the top right corner is a 1.3-megapixel camera and below the screen is an LED notification light.
One X by TrustedReviews (Sep, 2012)Not because it features more megapixels – it's still an 8-megapixel model – but because it has a host of other improvements and a superfast continuous shooting mode.
Performance Real world tests of LG Nexus 4 vs HTC One X
cpu speed
Nexus 4 by Henry (Feb, 2013)In order to make great use of the average size 2200mAh battery Google/LG has put in a throttling system where if the Battery is certain temperature the CPU speed is clocked down to lower speed.
One X by Erik-M (Jun, 2012)Great looks, great processor speed and the lazy battery (I need to charge it every night).
talk time
900 min
600 min
Nexus 4 by Mahesh (Dec, 2012)With very sparse use - around 30 minutes talk time, 20 minutes of mail the battery still drains to 0% in about 8 hours, most often requiring 2 charges per day (you can see that the OS is using up most of the battery life).
One X by c|net (May, 2012)AT&T claims the HTC One X will run for 12.5 days in standby mode and provide 8.5 hours of talk time.

screen
LG Nexus 4 | Rated 78% by by c|net (Nov, 2012)There were a few times when colors on the Nexus 4 had warmer tones and less contrast, but these instances happened so rarely that it's difficult to make a call between the two.
LG Nexus 4 | Rated 100% by by AkShiz (Apr, 2013)the screen looks just as we as fantastic as the one x plus, I thought I would not like the fact that it does not have true 4G but I haven't noticed a real difference at all for what we use it for.
network technology
LG Nexus 4 | Rated 78% by by c|net (Nov, 2012)But now that LTE is so widespread, the Nexus 4 shouldn't get a pass.
camera
LG Nexus 4 | Rated 100% by by audreynaaa (Apr, 2013)One thing it didn't really match up w on my old HTC One X was the camera quality.
