The
latest Google Smartphone sold out in the some countries within an hour of its
released on Tuesday.
Nexus
4 handsets is the new smartphone from Google made by South Korea's LG
Electronics were available at Google's online Play shop, where stock was
quickly depleted and notices posted asking shoppers to leave email addresses to
be alerted when more are available.
The
Nexus team said in a post at Google+ social network. "There's been so much
interest for the Nexus lineup that we've sold out of some of our initial stock
in a few countries, and we are working hard to add more Nexus devices to Google
Play in the coming weeks to keep up with the high demand."
At
a starting price of $299 for smartphones not bound to particular carriers, and
therefore unsubsidized by telecom companies, Nexus 4 models were deemed a
bargain at half the price of similarly "unlocked" iPhones by Apple.
"Nexus
4 is the new smartphone from Google," the Play store page said. "With
cutting edge hardware, the latest version of Android, and the best Google apps
-- Nexus 4 puts the world's information at your fingertips."
Reports
early Tuesday indicated that Play sold out of Nexus 4 smartphones in the US,
Britain, Germany and elsewhere, with people complaining of frustrating
experiences at the inundated online shop.
Google
on Tuesday also began selling new seven-inch and 10-inch Nexus tablet computers
as well as rolling out the latest version of Android mobile operating system as
an over-the-air update to Nexus devices.
