Are they losing money on it? Do you have a link?
I think what's actually happening is that Google sells the Nexus 4 to the public at the same price it sells it to the carriers.
Google's profit margins might be thin, but for Google, the Nexus line isn't about profit margins. Nexus devices are like Gillette giving away free razors in order to sell replacement cartridges.
