Remember when the rumors were floating around about Google releasing '5' Nexus devices by the end of the year? I'm still wondering if these rumors are true.
1. Nexus 7
2. Nexus Q
3. Nexus 10
4. Nexus 4
5. ?
Google has released two tablets, a media device, and one phone. Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2nd Nexus phone? What about the whole 5" HTC Nexus phabet that was rumored? Is there one last device to come out by years end?
There will be no extra device to come out. The 5th device is the new version of the Nexus 7 they announced.
I doubt they will muddy the waters with another mobile device esp a phone, the Nexus 4 has a 4.7inch screen releasing a 5inch phone would be stupid business sense, for a mobile phone it makes much better sense to just have one, it helps the developers and it helps the consumer, as apps can be created and installed knowing that they will always work.
If they were to release another device it would be something different, not a phone not a tablet, perhaps a 'Nexus TV' (a set top box like a Google TV).
Maybe the nexus TV could be a proper smart TV made in collaboration with LG, with android on board... that would be nice

In all honesty, it was Verizon that gave CDMA Galaxy Nexus a bad name.
I highly doubt they will release 5

The part I am confused about is what they are going to call the next Nexus device. They can't call it the Nexus 5 because the number refers to the screen size: http://www.google.com/nexus/ (see Nexus 7 and 10).

They'll call it the Nexus 4S and give it minor revision with similar hardware spec. Similar to Nexus One -> Nexus S, and iPhone 4 to 4S. It'll also come with Android 5 and a free bumper case.
Go Home OP, You're DRUNK!
And for the name game the options for Google are - Nexus 4 II or the NEW NEXUS 4

The CEO of Google discounted this in the short term: "I don't think there's any physical way we could have released a Nexus Motorola device in that sense. I mean, we haven't owned the company long enough."

Well this is what the news, Larry Page and Wikipedia has been telling me, but I guess they are wrong: "Motorola Mobility LLC is an American telecommunications equipment corporation owned by Google and headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Libertyville, Illinois."
As for why, Larry Page answered the question: "we haven't owned the company long enough." He never said it won't happen, the hint is maybe it won't be the next Nexus, but not impossible later on.
I do like to see a Motorola Nexus, but the first step for Motorola to make a Nexus device is to get their head out of Verizon's arse.

The comment above made it seem like the reason moto hasn't made a nexus is because Google hasn't owned moto long enough... That's why I replied they don't own the other oems at all.

if you read it online than most likely it's true...

It's true
The nexus device is supposed to be only 1 device supported by Google. Not create a whole line of nexus products to get rich off of, way to screw over the people who waited desperately for this phone and/or stuck in shipping limbo

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

I highly doubt that is true since so many people are still waiting to buy it why would you stop selling it? And T-Mobile is said to start carrying it at every location.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Nahh... Not gonna happen. LG just can't keep up that's all..

Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.
Lol. Just lol.

I'm sure everyone remembers this rumor from about six months ago. Where manufacturers could develop a nexus phone as long as it meet the requirements. Even though the s4 isn't labeled a nexus it meets the other requirements. Do you think that other manufacturers will follow suit and offer pure Google phones? I wouldn't mind seeing a dev HTC one.

If Nokia ever jumped the Microsoft bandwagon and considered making phones on Android + joined the Nexus program, wouldn't that be the most amazing thing now.

What you mean by other requirements? There are no requirements I know of. Nexus is a brand of products which are built for Google by OEMs as per Google's specification and requirement. S4 isn't built the way Google wants e.g it had hardware buttons and also carries menu button Google let go 2 years back.
This isn't the first time such a thing had happened. 2 years back Google gave Samsung tab to IO attendees with AOSP on it. About a year back Google did an exercise of trying to support Xperia S in AOSP headed by JBQ himself. The only difference is that this is the first time Google is selling such a device via Play Store.

Any wagers on Play store server crashing?
looking at Canonicals system requirements for Ubuntu here, it would appear that even the nexus 4 which is the best officially supported device currently isnt up to the "Superphone" requirements. The gs4 google edition seems like a reasonable choice however it only has 16gb emmc so it too doesnt fully meet up to the superphone requirements. I am seriously considering just waiting for the first snapdragon 800 phones to ship as i would expect much better performance for ubuntu.
Do you think the snapdragon s4 pro(nexus 4), or even 600(gs4 ge) can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience?
I think that a regular 1.2Ghz Dual Core can provide a good ubuntu desktop experience.
A nexus 4 or gs4 ge probably can provide an awesome experience.
LG Optimus G could handle Ubuntu touch fairly well.

The "requirements" are set for phone manufactures so that when Ubuntu is ready to be released on devices the requirements should still be a top end phone. Those are not meant to be read and followed by normal users flashing over Android or something.
Well... you make a compelling argument for the nexus 4. Im really debating picking up the white model when it comes out now. However i still feel hesitant knowing the phone has already been out for 9 months and will likely have a successor in the next few months.
edit: correction its been 7 months.

Moto X is probably considered its successor which will be released this summer.
If you prefer to wait I would say wait at least until its specifications is revealed.
But don't be afraid of buying the Nexus 4, it's a good choice.

Well.. Nexus is THE developers platform for Canonical -Not gs4/htc/sony etc... So now you have 2 options:

2. Get a (insert any phone) and pray for updates/ports

For now I'm putting daily builds on my GNex... Ubuntu Touch is is no way ready for seamless desktop mode yet...
Once it all comes together, the N4 will probably get UT and see use as a daily driver. The system requirements cited in the OP are most likely for OEMs considering new hardware dedicated to Ubuntu Touch. Meanwhile, while the world waits for that dedicated hardware, the Nexus Line is obviously the smartest choice for LTS (Long Term Support) through Canonical.

If they cannot get a manufacturer to support them and out out UT devices then the Nexus devices are the smartest choice, however if they have a manufacturer that is wanting to build phones specifically for UT that would be the best thing for them to do and the smartest choice. I don't see many big manufacturers steeping forward though and I wonder if it is Google stopping them from doing so, that's a little tin hattish I know but.....
