LG’s Lambro Skropidis, Marketing Manager says “the response in Australia has been overwhelmingly positive on Google Play already, and we know our Harvey Norman partnership will create even greater demand.”
“The Nexus 4 is a great example of how LG’s state of the art hardware is innovating in the smartphone market with Google choosing to be its latest hardware partner.”
Nexus 4 can be bought outright for $496 in all Harvey Norman stores or on eight plans options – from $35, $42, $55 right up to $130, which includes device repayment and Optus plan value.
Although currently sold out on Google Play, 16GB Nexus 4 was selling for A$399 and 8GB model priced at $349, meaning Harvey outright price is more expensive than online.
You can pre-order from the store now and get the device on 1st February.
