LG launches White Nexus 4 phone

South Korea's LG Electronics confirmed what has long been rumored -- a white version of the Nexus 4 pure-Android phone will be available starting this month. In function the new version will be identical to the existing black model, running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean on a 4.7-inch 1280 by 768 display powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro processor paired with 2GB of RAM and an 8-megapixel camera. The white phone will be introduced in the Hong Kong market May 29 followed by a progressive rollout in select markets in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East, Slash Gear reported Tuesday. "Nexus 4 White delivers the same Google experience to consumers in a stylish and attractive color option," LG Mobile said in a statement. Prices are expected to be the same as the black version's $299 for an 8GB model and $349 for 16GB.
