Google's next wave of nexus devices go on sale. The LG Nexus 4 smartphone and Samsung Nexus 10 tablet appeared on Google's play store in select countries including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Spain, Germany and Australia.
Australia was the first country to get these devices and the 16GB Nexus 4 went out of stock within 22 minutes whereas, the 8gb variant was also sold out in a couple of hours. Similarly, Nexus 10's 32GB variant was sold out in 5 hours.
A similar response was seen in Germany, UK, Spain and France. Google Play UK showed zero inventory for the Nexus 4 16GB variant after 35 minutes while Germany was not far behind as well.
Although, US and Canada got the devices on Tuesday, US beat Australia where, within 24 minutes, Nexus 4 was sold out.
Google did not comment on the size of its inventory but surely the unbeatable pricing by Google is the reason why the devices were sold out so quickly.
