                why nexus varies from others a 2012 phone with Android L that's the strategy of iPhone to update all their products and I like it. I wish I bought nexus 4 when it came out.

                    I think if GSMarena could redo the battery endurance test on the nexus 4 running lollipop that would really show how android improved as for battery management .. i can tell the standby time has improved A LOT
