Those who attended Google I/O did see the ghost of the next Nexus in white which has now been confirmed by LG to be released, first in Hong Kong on May 29.
The white Nexus 4 has the exact same specs as the black version (expect for color) that include Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 4.7" touchscreen, 2GB RAM and quad-core Sanpdragon S4 Processor that sells for $299 with 8GB of storage.
After no new pure Nexus announcements at Google I/O and rumors that Goggle nixed the Motorious XFon for not being innovative enough, new rumors suggest that the XFON may be coming to Verizon Wireless. FCC documents show a model for Sprint, too.
There were benchmarks and FCC filings of the Motorola XT1058 for AT&T there are rumors of a Motorola XT1060 with CDMA radios for Verizon. Tie information was garnered from a .ini file taken from leaked Motorola USB drivers. The processor is “MSM8960CDMA,” a Snapdragon 4 Pro dual-core processor.
While consumers may have abandoned their Nexus One or Nexus S smartphones there were three Nexus that took a trip into space and sent back earth images.
Photos were combined in NASA's PhoneSat, from small boxed shaped satellites that were put into orbit on April 21. The devices used Nexus smartphones for brains. Meanwhile earthlings have heard nothing about the new cousins of the Nexus One and S , the Nexus 4 LTE or Nexus 5.
While Nexus 4 fans are waiting for the next Nexus or even signs of a Motorola X, Google announced a pure Android version of the Samsung Galaxy S 4. It is called a "Nexus" user experience but does not have the rock bottom pricing of the Nexus 4.
This GS 4 is unlocked(bootloader) to work with either LTE for T-Mobile or AT&T and will sell for $649 when released on Google Play on June 26. The GS 4 will have "prompt system updates" from Google.
We're getting closer to see what Google and Motorola will be producing in the coming months. There have been new Nexus 4/5 LTE and Motorola X (XFON) reports as we approach Google I/O.
LG is reportedly working on the next Nexus 4/5. Some retailers in the U.K. have taken Nexus 4 off the shelves and are not stocking them. Google's retail locator for the Nexus 4 shows limited retail availability. This lead the conjecturatti to contend that there will be a new Nexus soon.
