The Google Nexus 4, which was sold out on a number of occasions, was certainly one of the most demanded Android handsets of 2012. Despite the lack of LTE connectivity, it took months from the time that the phone originally went on sale last November, for LG to finally build up enough inventory to meet demand. Part of the reason for this demand, besides the sleek design, the stock Android UI and the hope for quick updates, was the $299 off-contract price for the handset.
Ironically, even though the device was designed in South Korea by LG, it has not been offered in the country. That is, until now. The South Korean Google Play Store has the Google Nexus 4 available in both 8GB and 16GB variants priced at 399,000 won ($350 USD), and 459,000 won ($407 USD) respectively.
