LG Optimus G To Underpin The Next Nexus, Release Date Is In 30 Days

LG recently launched Optimus G, an LTE-friendly smartphone packing a quad-core processor and running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. There are a lot of tech publications that claim that the LG Optimus G device could become the next Google Nexus.

Google announced the Nexus 7 tablet, earlier this year, a device created after the search engine giant has teamed up with ASUS. It seems though that the 7-inch Android 4.1 Jelly Bean tablet will not be the only Nexus terminal Google will launch in 2012.
TalkAndroid was writing in May that Google will launch 5 Nexus devices on November 5th, to celebrate Android’s fifth birthday. The tech publication was quoting a reliable source. Even though a move like this would delight the Android enthusiasts, their joy might not be reflected in sales, with devices like iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 roaming around.
So far, LG and HTC have expressed their interest in developing the next Google smartphone. Because Google is launching a new Nexus smartphone each year, it couldn’t be long until we get to see a new one in flesh.
