[quote=Phandroid]Earlier today came word of a possible new Nexus device from Samsung, but that might have been just the tip of the Google-branded phone iceberg. If we are to believe a report coming from japanese site Android Noodles, NTT DoCoMo shows at least three Nexus devices on their roadmap, one each from LG, Sony, and Samsung. This wouldn’t be the first time we have heard rumors that Google plans to release up to five new Nexus phones by the end of year.

The names given for the devices include the Samsung Galaxy Nexus II, which makes sense given the GT-I9260 model number leaked this morning, LG Optimus Nexus, and Sony Xperia Nexus. If the rumors pan out, it seems apparent that Google’s new Nexus line seeks to combine manufacturer flagship brands with the Nexus name, leaving open the possibility for an HTC Nexus One X, though it isn’t mentioned in the report.

If the convention holds true, it would be a watershed moment for the Android industry. Major manufacturers would essentially offer their top-of-the-line hardware in a stock Android flavor with easy access to future OS updates. That’s enough to satisfy any fanboy’s wet dream.[/quote]

This is interesting, but I hope this widening of the Nexus brand does not result in bogged down (shit) Nexus phones in the future.

I heard the Galaxy Nexus will have a keypad yah!!!

I hope at least one of them is a less expensive model. There should be a Nexus option for people who can't afford a top of the line phone

Before you do that Google, I'd like to be able to actually buy the Nexus 7 over here.

[QUOTE=Amiga OS;37370076]LG?

Oh hell naw.[/QUOTE]

I've got an LG P690 (Optimus Net) phone from them. It's supposed to run well with an 800 MHz CPU. It's got too much shit running on it, causing it to lag.

I can't change its ROM because it has a DRM installed, which does a factory reset each time I try to fiddle with the ROM.

I hate it, but it's the only phone I got and I can't afford another one. I need to hack it somehow..
