While there have been many speculations done before that suggests otherwise, a new rumour has emerged according which Google will formally introduce Android 4.2 in November at a co-event with LG where they will announce the “LG Optimus G Nexus”.
Yes, you read that right. According to AndroidandMe’s “regular source”, Google will be officially revealing Android 4.2 and a Nexus smartphone from LG at an event sometime in November.
However, upcoming Nexus devices might no longer remain exclusive to a single vendor as according to an earlier report, any manufacturer can release phones as part of the Nexus program. The only condition being that they must adhere to strict standards like, using stock Android and 64 MB of secure memory for media streaming, additional hardware requirements needed to make devices future-compatible with upcoming OS updates like Android 5.0, which is scheduled to arrive by fall 2013.
Considering the fact that LG’s Optimus G Smartphone packs in a powerful set of hardware in form of Quad-core S4 processor, Adreno 320 GPU etc, if this rumour comes out to be true then the next Nexus smartphone would turn out to be a massive upgrade in terms of specs as compared with Galaxy Nexus.
