Google Nexus 4 Gets Android 4.2.2 in Brazil and Malaysia India not lucky yet

While most of the world is seeing Android 4.2.1 as the latest version of Jelly Bean, it looks like Google has quietly begun rolling out something a bit newer. According to new reports, Google has begun rolling out Android 4.2.2 in select countries. So far the reports are pinpointing just two countries — Brazil and Malaysia.

According to a recent report, LG Mobile’s production facility situated in Taubaté, Brazil has already started churning out Nexus 4 smartphones today in hopes of catching up with the overwhelming demands, an interesting twist to this story is that at least a thousand of these quad-core packing monsters have — purportedly — been loaded with Google’s latest version of the Android Jelly Bean platform so don’t be surprised if the Nexus 4 you have ordered via the Play Store portal  will come running the Android 4.2.2 operating system.

Also, a new leak reveals the LG Nexus 4 in Malaysia running the new, unannounced software from Google.

True or not, we suggest taking this news with a grain of salt since it’s still unknown if the leaked image is legitimate — but, like we’ve previously mentioned, the fact that Google has stopped letting users download the Android 4.1.2 may give us a vague  clue as to what Google is really hiding up its sleeves and the Android 4.2.2 may just be the answer we’ve been waiting for.

T-Mobile Stores Will Carry Google Play For Nexus 4 This January.

According to TmoNews, the Google Nexus 4 should become available in all T-Mobile stores starting in January. It could indicate that Google is slowly resolving inventory issues as the device has been hard to buy from Google Play. The device will remain available in the online store.

The news comes from an internal email sent to retail locations. As the headline of the memo suggests, T-Mobile and Google are going full-on with an expanded availability. The device was already available in a few T-Mobile stores, but it was nothing close to a nationwide availability

After being sold out, Google started referring U.S. customers to T-Mobile. T-Mobile customers could buy the 16GB Nexus 4 online for $199 on a 2-year contract, after a $50 mail-in rebate. For reference, Google is selling the 8GB Nexus 4 for $300 off-contract.

If a 2-year contract is something that you would be willing to do, you should expect the same price, as T-Mobile confirmed the $199 price tag in November. TmoNews believes that each store will only get a few units.

T-Mobile already announced back in November that it would carry the phone, but it was only available online in a few stores. Now, it will be available in-store across the country. Maybe even Google Play will get a reliable inventory soon.
