are you being serious?The new revision feels like a whole new phone honestly. The UI is so much smoother and battery life 2 hours screen on better. I don't think we'll see any more huge improvements after this.
I don't know what revision mine is but I got it on Dec 31 and its perfect.
i have a rev 10 with a nominal cpu no screen yellowing, barely noticeable light bleed, a tiny bit of ear peace buzzing, the normal rattling and a very nice, bright screen. i didnt think it was worth it to RMA because of the buzzing or light bleed, and i wouldnt want to risk having a dimmer yellower screen. are the differences even near what the guy at the top said about the rev 11 being faster and having 2 hours more of screen on time?

Absolutely not. I have had 14 different Nexus 4s and am preparing to order a few more. I STRUGGLED to see 4 hours screen on with the rev 10 and usually never made it. The UI was fine but I saw choppiness every so often, especially on Tapatalk. With rev 11 I honestly see about 5 1/2 to 6 hours screen on and Web browsers, tapatalk, etc are much smoother. I have tapatalk set to load 30 posts per page and can load a page and scroll from top to bottom without a single chop, impossible on the rev 10. The improvement is humongous. I'll take a screen shot of my next screen on at the end of the charge.
Now I see why many said they would wait a few months to purchase. This is now a hell of a phone (well was before too) and I can't possibly think of a reason to ever upgrade other than finding a thinner phone with stronger vibrate.

Also, do not worry about the light bleed unless it's severe. It will gradually dissipate over time which will leave you very happy in the end.
I'm sorry but I just can't believe anyone who uses the word, "humongous".
jesus are you planning on returning all of them except for one? 14 seems like a lot of RMAs, or did you order them seperately?Absolutely not.

My bootloader is unlocked on the Stock ROM. How do I see my revision #? I'm on my replacement phone from Google and my phone rattles like a baby rattle with very light shaking/rocking
I saw someone said to use bootloader mode, but I don't know what bootloader mode is.
can anyone else verify the differences the guy is saying about the different revisions? i am considering doing an RMA
I guess I could post a picture of my 14 Nexus 4 invoices from Google but am feeling lazy as I just woke from a nap.
No I'm not RMAing them all. I bought the phones (tablets too) for profit/resale and in the process kept the best one for myself. Keep in mind the N4/N10 is only available in about 2% of the world's nations so many non-US residents are doing backflips to have one.

Btw, Google doesn't want you to know this (looks over shoulder).
I'm done here. No need to post proof as I really don't care enough.

Skipping the glitter back sure helps speeding up production. It would also be interesting if someone can do a tear down and see if the lte chip is still there.
I'll be a bit jealous if rev_11 does in fact have better battery life. But we can always wait a few more months for better hardware, don't we?
