Google's Nexus 4 is in high demand so much so that reports are coming out that the smartphone has sold out in Google Play stores the world over.
Tech site CNET.com has reported that the popular phone has sold out in the United States and United Kingdom in mere minutes after going on sale.
The Nexus 4 joined other Google devices like the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 on the market on Tuesday. Many consumers were greeted with "Coming Soon," signs as they tried to get their hands on the new product.
The 8GB and 16GB models of the device are gone in stores and potenial buyers online were equally frustrated as the device is out of stock and were greeted with a "Notify me!" button instead of a purchase option.
One potential online buyer said via his Twitter. "Google Play store is a joke - puts 2 nexus 4 in basket, then none, then sold out."
What is available at the Google Play store is Nexus 7 in 16GB, 32GB Wi+Fi, 32GB+HSPA+network and is ready to ship with 3-5 business days.
What makes the Nexus 4 such a prized item is its price starting at $299 in the U.S. for the 8GB.The device will have a quad core 1.5 GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, 2 GB RAM,8 GB storage and boast a 4.7-inch 1280x768 display and carry an 8 megapixel camera at the back.
The new Google product will utilize Android 4.2 also known as Jelly Bean and like the new tablet Nexus 10 will use Miracast which allows multimedia interface which means one can place photos, videos and games to a HDTV.
Wired.com said. "Android has a new champion. The Nexus 4, built by LG in collaboration with Google, is the best overall Android handset currently available, and it's one of the best phones to be released this year."
The phone is seen as a major competitor to the iPhone 5 and the Samsung Galaxy S III.
