There is no shot term plan to release these but I will try to get some more
information.

I think it depends, the Nexus 4 has more processing power but because the
BQ Aquarius screen has less resolution some UI oriented things are faster.
But the Aquarius has half the memory so applications are "stopped" more
often. Overall the two seem comparable to in responsiveness me but others
may have more specific data.
