The only thing I can see being better on the G is the battery life and maybe the camera. Other than that I think the nexus 4 has it beat. That being said, battery life on the N4 was pretty abysmal as I recall. I'd have to charge mine by early-mid afternoon on some days. For $150, if I needed a phone I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. I for one would purchase it over the Moto G but that is just me.
