Jamie Dihiansan Fujifilm X100S and Nexus 4
I just got a Fujifilm X100S . I really dig it. Been waiting for a while to get one. I like the fixed focal length (35mm equivalent) and the low-light image quality under high ISO (6400). I also use the Nexus 4 for Instagram, Facebook, casual polaroid type shots.

Me writing another review of Android and the Nexus 4 helps no one. You likely don't want to or need to read another review of a handset that has been out for a few months. Knowing the demographics of my readership, this post likely is of little interest to you as a card carrying member of the iOS brethren.

I recently made the switch from my iPhone 5 to Google's Nexus 4 as my primary phone. 1 The Nexus 4 is a fine phone, but I think my favorite feature cost an additional $ 60. The charging orb accessory lets you place your Nexus 4 on the orb and it will begin charging the device. No more fumbling for a micro USB cable. If there is one thing that I would love for Apple to steal from Google it's this.
