Could this be the next nexus device? http://androidandme.com/2012/09/sma...g-coming-to-us-in-november-as-the-next-nexus/
We've heard there is a possibility that there could be multiple nexus devices from 2-3 different manufacturers, but this one from LG looks interesting. Last LG product I've owned was the Dare(not a great device) but that was awhile ago. Not sure about the build quality and etc with LG but if it's a nexus device, dev support should be strong.
It ships with ICS...even Nexus devices from 2 years ago have official Jellybean. Pretty sure that article is way off.
No. Just an LG "premium phone". I wouldn't expect any nexus release till late this year

While Dev support for a nexus would be strong I don't see many going for the LG. Most will pick up one of the other possible OEM devices.

Hmm, I reckon the new Nexus manufacturer would be ASUS (because of the Nexus 7) or Sony.
I personally would like to have a Sony Nexus phone but I can see a good reason why Google might want their Tablet and Phone Nexus devices to be manufactured by the same company - ASUS Nexus 7 + ASUS Nexus Phone for 2012 will be fine to me :good:

Serious question , will there be another Nexus phone this year?
I'm thinking if there is, well Jelly Bean was just the tip of the iceberg. If there will be a new Nexus or Nexuses, there will be another OS update.
Your thoughts?
What got me thinking this is the new notification curtain. It looks professional, and no longer cartoonish. Android is taking on a more polished look.

There will. But it will only come in September/ October and it will run Jellybean.

Nah, I doubt if Google will put out a new device without an update.

I have to agree. Jellybean was a big deal with project butter. If Android 4.2 or 5.0 is released before 2013, OEMs are going to have a serious problem with updating their devices. But if they don't release a new nexus soon, they will have no competitor to the iPhone 5 besides the gnex, which would be nearly a year old. Even thought jellybean makes the phone so much faster, there's a limit of hardware (especially the camera).
So Google actually needs to release a new nexus, still with JB

Phones releasing each year, that's crazy heh. I wonder what would be the specifications of the new Nexus and if it will have a bigger screen than 4.3/4.6
my guess:
october: nexus 10 (tablet 10"), google tv nexus(with jelly bean)
so google will have five nexus in the play store: galaxy nexus, nexus q, nexus 7, nexus 10, google tv nexus
maybe these will be those five nexus they were talking about a few months ago and not five new nexus phones

This makes since, but I still don't see Google releasing any device with Android without an updated OS.
Maybe Android 4.2

Like I said, Google needs a competitor to the next gen iPhone, but cannot release a new version of Android this year when manufacturers are still trying to get ICS in the 3rd quarter.
Thus, to compete with the iPhone, they need a new Nexus, but since OEMs seriously suck at updates, and since JB was released 7/12 of the year through, the next Nexus(ii?) will be on Jellybean.

We need a phone that's 10 inches.
Maybe Jelly Bean 4.1.5, because 4.1.1 is already out.
My money is on a update plus new hardware.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2
I can see the new nexus device coming around dec and having quad core with on screen buttons and i can see it having Android 4.2. But I probably predict that the update will not be that big and still keep the JB name like when Android 2.0 went to Android 2.1 and it still kept the Éclair name
It would be great. That would mean a slight price drop on the Galaxy Nexus and a new device with better overall hardware one would hope. Maybe something with a shape conducive to fashioning a clamshell keyboard that will fit it.
I think there will be a new Nexus phone before the end of the year. I hope it comes with the Exynos quad core with LTE that probably wasn't ready in time for the SG3 US release, forcing the processor swap.
So any news on the whole "pure Google vanilla android" line of devices that was supposed to be coming out around Thanksgiving? It was all over the interwebz and then I seriously just stopped hearing about it completely.. it was right after the big Motorola buyout and apparently Google was supposed to be having a bunch of OEMs make pretty much the sameish model phone with vanilla android. I was so excited and then news just stopped! Anyone know any more about this? Opinions?
Edit: found a link to what I was talking about though I'm pretty sure I read the original on tc or engadget..
http://tegadgets.blogspot.com/2012/05/google-to-tie-up-with-multiple-oems-to.html?m=1
I just saw on my flipboard feed that Sony is considering an aosp device. Dunno if it's a result of the oem band up, but it looks cool.
I don't think the Motorola buyouts main reason was to take over phone production, but to get the patents to sue Apple. Also from what I remember reading it was more vague like 5 new nexus devices by Thanksgiving. So that would include Nexus 7 and Nexus Q. Maybe by Thanksgiving we'll have a new 10" Nexus tablet and the new Nexus Phone bringing it up to 4 or we could have a few new phone options. We'll have to wait and see.

I got the impression it would be five new nexus phones, vanilla android , through five different OEMs. I guess it could be device , not specifically phone. Buy I wouldn't count nexus q, that's just me though. If anything I'd love to see a Motorola branded nexus. Never owned anything Motorola but they.certainly seem like they have good hardware
Latest rumor is now Galaxy 2, LG and Sony nexus phones. So we will see, any new addition would be awesome.

Nexus devices always remain slightly underpowered when compared to flagship models. I'm of the belief that if Google simply forced manufacturers to release proprietary drivers, every device under the sun would be aosp capable, but I digress.
My next device will probably be a nexus, and if these rumours hold true, all the better for me
Hi everyone,
After reading this article, and the recent blaming game between LG and Google over low supply of Nexus 4,
http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/21/...rking-with-motorola-to-design-its-own-x-phone
Theoretically, if LG would make the Nexus 5 from their own flagship device of Optimus G Pro, most consumers would definitely choose the cheaper version Nexus 5 and it would definitely be a business loss for LG flagship device'slow sales (Optimus G Pro)
I think it only make sense that Google would manufacture their next flagship device by their own OEM, Motorola Mobile division. and perhaps if this will be true. Motorola brand would return its good press impression in the mobile tech world.
what do you think, guys?
I think Google will tap Motorola to build a stock Android device eventually. But when ? Most think maybe end of this year, possibly the Nexus-Five.
Others say no, Google is afraid of pissing off partners like Samsung, HTC, Sony, etc...And we might never see a Motorola Nexus.
Time will tell, but doubt we hear any news until Google I/O in May, and even then don't surprise to hear no Motorola news. I think it might be 2014.

I think Google/Motorola will be cranking out phones in a year or two.

Lot of news and rumors building around the Xphone recently. I think it WILL be announced in May. It'd be perfect time. Announce Android 5.0 on Xphone. Will be double breakthrough for Goog
I was hoping for an announcement at I/O, but if Google's CFO was speaking truth and not misdirection, it seems like the chances of that happening are less than I originally hoped. I'm running with my Toro right now, and it is sufficing thanks to some great ROMs (see MMuzzy's at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762846), but I would love to get my hands on newer tech. The real question right now for me tho is, which carrier will that be with??
They are gonna be separate device imo. :silly: nexus 5 will release in october-ish and "x" phone in summer. I want to buy any fro th either of two (would prefer nexus) which releases quicker. I'm not buying the nexus 4 cuz i'm waiting for either the nexus 5 or motorola "x" , hopefully the motorolla x will run stock android.
They worked together already a while back when creating the XOOM By Google and it was a complete success, I wouldn't mind if the next Nexus phone be Motorola... But I always wanted even after realizing that it's almost impossible; an Asus phone .. "ASUS Nexus 5 by Google" Ohh that sounds sweet, BUT...
Yup, it's that time again, fellow XDA members.
Just couple of days ago, Google has officially announced a new Nexus 7 tablet, which, just like the original N7, will be manufactured by Asus.
But we still have a bit more than 5 months 'till the end of 2013, and Google can arrange a new press event at any time during August-December time frame.
And, as one would expect, the main topic of that event could pretty much be the next Nexus phone, and maybe even a new Nexus 10" tablet.
So far, we had the following Nexus devices:
- Nexus One by HTC
- Nexus S by Samsung
- Galaxy Nexus by Samsung
- Nexus 7 by Asus
- Nexus 4 by LG
- Nexus 10 by Samsung
- (coming) Nexus 7 2nd gen by Asus
So, as we can see, Samsung has made 3 Nexus devices over the past 4 years since the Nexus series came to life, with Asus being the 2nd with 2 generations of Nexus 7 tablets, and Sony has never made a single Nexus device.
In my opinion, the next Nexus phone (a.k.a. Nexus 5) will be made either by Samsung or Sony.
Mostly because Samsung has already started making 5"+ devices with Full HD displays, and Sony hasn't even had a chance to make a Nexus device yet
On behalf of Nexus tablet - it might be Sony as well (and maybe use Xperia Tablet Z as a base for it) or we could see Acer entering the Nexus program for the first time also
But these are just my personal thoughts
What do you guys think?
I'm thinking Samsung will be taking this one..
Probably Lg. N4 is a perfect device

I think it's gonna be LG. But, if that was true, I wouldn't buy it.
One has to wonder why Google bought Motorola Mobility first place. I thought the whole point was to start having hardware control including stock android.
P.S. A little reminder - don't mark "Phone (Nexus 5)" and "Tablet (Nexus 11)" poll options
A Sony nexus would be cool, but I think Samsung will CME out with the next nexus phone.

Im thinking samsung but im not sure
So i just got my first Nexus. I have had plenty of Android phones in the past. My only concern now is the N5 going to be the last Nexus or will they release a Nexus6 later on?

No one here knows what Googles future plans are
Looks like there'll be no more nexus phones D:
http://www.redmondpie.com/google-re...l-be-replaced-by-google-play-edition-devices/
Seeing as they just got rid of Motorola, I'd guess they will continue with their Nexus devices for a while still. Don't mistake rumor for fact.
People said the nexus line was finished after the horrible start with the nexus one.
Then Google figured out how to sell the galaxy nexus via the play store.
Here we are and the nexus 5 is kicking butt.
Probably just a rumor. Everyone knows prepaid wireless is the future, and that on contract phones are for suckers.
If companies like xiaomi can make dirt cheap flagships, there will always be a nexus program.

Previous posts in the thread have been speculation, and pretty false speculation at that. The Nexus brand has been immensely popular, and it has received praise in being a strictly stock Android experience. There will always be a following in this market, so you have nothing to worry about for several years.
