I still have my Nexus 4 (LG manufactured) in a box somewhere. This was actually my first smartphone, and it turned out to be a great purchase. It was affordable, simple, and somewhat close to open. Rooting in place was as simple as could be, and with “Xposed” I was able to get features on my phone that wouldn’t be widespread on stock Android or iOS for many years.
It’s hard to point to anything very wrong with that phone. It even had an Amoled always on display, which was ahead of its time. Reviewers thought that front and rear glass was an awful design decision, and they may have been right, but look where we are now?

It was a pleasure flashing custom ROMs on to it, as you didn't need to go through the rigmarole required to get an an alternative bootloader running. There was a ton of development happening on XDA-developers then as well, so every week the distros would get better and more stable.
