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.

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.
Anyone have any idea if the Galaxy Nexus 2 will be coming out? I would really hate to purchase a regular Galaxy Nexus and have the 2 come out right after
i reckon Google might release one somewhere at the and of this year.
New iPhone is coming out, they already mentioned about five companies working on new Nexus+ Gnex ain't no top dog anymore.
I would be happy if next Nexus will have GS3 specs (2G ram).
Probably, but nobody knows for sure. The one thing that's almost certain is that it won't be called galaxy nexus 2 (no nexus device has ever been 2, they just give it a different name that includes nexus).

So as of right now, it goes in this order? Nexus S, Nexus S 4G, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Note?

Galaxy note isn't a nexus device. It goes G1 (not a nexus but the first GED), Nexus 1, Nexus S/4g, Xoom, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7.

I don't think the Xoom was a Nexus Device, since it was not sold by Google. So it's the Nexus One, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7.
Xoom ( us wifi) ain't a nexus but its a GED. Its more or less a nexus without the nexus branding.
Doesn't have to be sold by Google. The nexus s was not sold by Google. Nor was the galaxy nexus for the first couple months it was out. The Verizon gnex is not sold by Google either. They only recently got into selling devices directly again.
There are versions of the gnex that ship with unsupported by Google builds as well. The device itself is still a gnex but......
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:

Hi.
I'm thinking of buying a phone and maybe a tablet to do some apps testing on the device.
I wondered which phone an tablet has the largest number of developers and most reliable custome ROMs ?
I saw many people mentinioning the Nexus 4 and nexus tablet has to be the easiest to root,
but do the y also have the largest user base here in xda ?
I don't need aniything fancy since this is only going to be used mostly for testing and analyzing of apps.
Easy...
Lg nexus 4 and galaxy nexus
Tabs : nexus 7/10

Thanks.
Yes.. It's the Nexus range. You get nice ROM and kernel developments from developers with big names...
You should then go with Nexus..
Becoz the most development are there only for nexus series.:thumbup:....
................................................................................................
Will you guys get the nexus 6 when it's available for sale or stick with the nexus 5 cause I've bought the nexus 5 about only a month ago and the phones get to my country overpriced -the 16 GB nexus 5 was about 500$- so I'm worried people might stop developing for or using the nexus 5 cause I may not be able to get the nexus 6
How many threads do you need to make?
There is already a "Nexus 6" thread in the General section.
I suppose this is different from speculation. Anyway, I think it all depends on what it will offer. Possibly bigger battery, better camera. Some new and original features. Processor/RAM doesn't really matter to me. It's already fast. I think I'm leaning on keeping it just because we will have Android L to play with so the software will be the same. However, if it has unique features I might get it.
I usually get the next Nexus pending price...
Assuming the price, I'll be hitting up the Nexus 6, and getting my girl to switch from Verizon to AT&T and give her my Nexus 5.
You damn Skippy I'm going to buy the nexus 6.
