Google’s Nexus 4 isn’t just any Android device; it’s the flagship Android device. It’s the only current smartphone that wields the premium Nexus name, and the only handset running Google’s latest iteration in Android, version 4.2 Jelly Bean part deux. Moreover, the Nexus 4 undoubtedly serves as the most highly anticipated smartphone of 2012, and quite possibly the most rumored.
While we’ve heard rumors that claim Google plans to release up to five Nexus devices this year in commemoration of Android’s 5th birthday, a new report suggests that the company could be unveiling a single flagship smartphone along with an iterative Android version sometime in the “next 30 days.”
Three separate “industry sources” have confirmed the same thing,
Here’s a rumor to get your Friday Happy Hour going. We have already heard about the Motorola X phone and some think it’s a Nexus device, while other reports say that it won’t be. The latest rumor coming out of the Droid Forums is that won’t be a Nexus device, but it will be the first device to feature Key Lime Pie. Furthermore, it will be announced at Google I/O.
Earlier this week we reported on news that Google was getting close to releasing a new Nexus device, consistent with apparent plans to release five such devices to celebrate the five year anniversary of Android. Possible candidates for Google’s next Nexus device include LG hardware, possibly an LG Optimus G based device.
The Nexus 7 tablet was the talk of Google I/O, and for good reason. For $199 you get a device with high-end specs that even today’s top tablets have a hard time competing with. With a Tegra 3 quad-core processor, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean on board, and a 7-inch HD screen, it’s amazing Google and ASUS were able to manufacture this device for so little money.
To help strike excitement upon their new flagship device, LG has created and uploaded a video on YouTube teasing their forthcoming Optimus G. If you remember, the device will be one of the first to offer Qualcomm’s brand new quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, thus you can fully expect this device to be a beast regardless if you’re an LG fan or not.
Google has released an unlocked version of its Android-based Nexus One phone that's compatible with the 3G networks of AT T and Roger Wireless. Meanwhile, a Flurry report claims that the Nexus One sold far fewer units in its first two months than the iPhone and the Motorola Droid did in theirs, says eWEEK....
After months of speculation and rumors of the Nexus 7, it’s now time to turn our attention to what Google is planning next. Google went with price and a smaller form factor with the Nexus 7, but it certainly wouldn’t be a shock if they were planning on a follow up 10-inch device.
With AT&T set to add the LG Optimus G Pro to their portfolio starting May 10th, LG is getting on the event bandwagon for their latest flagship device to hit the U.S. shores with a Share the Genius event on May 1st. The event will take place in New York City and is headlined by indie music group Atlas Genius.
