(GSM Insider) - Google Removed Nexus 4 USB OTG Features From Manual

Sad story! Another bad news for those who are getting the Nexus 4. This LG Nexus 4 is not supports the USB OTG (on-the-go) feature after all. Seems like the LG Nexus 4 is not so good as you think after all. 

Before the announcement of LG Nexus 4, online manual suggested that LG Nexus 4 supports USB OTG feature. The USB OTG enable you to view files, images and video directly from PDA, USB drive and others. So you can transfer files easily on the go. 

Recently, Google removed the USB OTG from the manual online of LG Nexus 4. This showed us the USB OTG not available to LG Nexus 4 after all. Disappointed!


As this LG Nexus 4 is not supports the USB OTG. It might bring many inconvenience to those who transfer the files a lot to the device. However, there are many people out there not even know what is USB OTG. If you feel that this feature not important, go ahead for the LG Nexus 4.
