The Phone I Wish I Never Sold

Hey everyone, as some of you may know I’ve been talking a lot about Android’s, iPhones, and many other devices throughout the last couple of years, and there was a time where I would buy/sell phones, I don’t do that anymore, but there was a phone that I wish I never resold, that specific phone was the Nexus 4. Now, that specific Nexus 4 was my personal device, I got it for a very good value, and it was easily one of my most beloved devices ever. With that Nexus 4, I truly felt like I was part of a much bigger community, this device had the ability to easily root it/install a custom ROM on it, making it a developer-friendly device.

I loved scrolling through many different forums at that time and installing random custom ROMs, I probably wouldn’t recommend doing that anymore, but the fact that so many people were developing ROMs for that device made me feel like the Nexus 4 would last forever. On top of that, there are so many similarities between this older Nexus and the newer Pixels, when I hold that Pixel 6 and I hold that Nexus 4, it’s crazy how many similarities there are between them. Unfortunately, my Nexus 4 had a very cracked back, it also had a missing camera lens as well, making the camera quality even worse than what it should have been (which was notoriously not the best).

Eventually, I did end up buying a Nexus 4, but I do wish I still had the original one since I modified that one like crazy. A few years ago I did reach out to the original owners of that device, they have never reached back out to me (that email probably went straight to their spam folder). Overall, I loved this Nexus 4, and I truly made a lot of memories with that device, what do you think?

That’s pretty much it! if you guys have any other questions let me know in the comment section as well, more important than everything else I love every single one of you, hopefully, I’ll catch you in the next article!
